There are a few technologies merging at the moment. They all end up in one place eventually .. Autonomy. Let me quickly explain. Self driving, and autonomy in other domains is coming, even in aviation .. Like it or not. Choose your technology (Cameras, LIDAR, RADAR, etc.) its…
So I just found this Rick and Morty clip. Cracks me up. Not sure. Maybe NSFW. youtu.be/Zp0N5PJxamE?si…
Where has this man been? Welcome back!
Your Tesla self-driving capability will see a step change improvement as we integrate upgrades for the Austin robotaxi build into the general production release
I do agree that .. the best thing we can do with the hardware we have is show the full FOV available. We can only assume that FSD has access the the full camera FOV, but while we are still supervising .. this would be helpful. Thanks for the post and showing your idea clearly.
Really not pleased with @Tesla still not giving access to HW4 Full FoV or B Pillars for Reversing out of spots. Current UI - Dangerous Add Option to view Wide Rear Cam - Safer Add Option to view Repeaters or B PIllars and Wide or Narrow Rear Cam - Superhuman
OK Max, you're the first one to actually mention TAM. So I will address it in your reply. My original post was commenting that the price point of Optimus is higher than the TAM of the iPhone at $1200. The upper echelon of first world economies can afford an Optimus, and I think…
I don't naturally strive for diversification.. but many that have worked with me for many years often comment that that same fact.
I just finished my first 25 minute drive in the @cybertruck with @grok. I have to say storyteller mode is just verbose enough to learn some lessons. Learn some history or get some depth on a subject. For example, I used this drive as an opportunity to learn a little bit more…

This is how the Voice Command steering wheel button is integrated into the @grok and Voice Command functionality on my AI4 Model Y.
This is what Grok in the Tesla AI4 Model Y answers when asking what version it's running.
Grok update is coming down to my Model Y, nothing to the Cybertruck yet. No new FSD Version.




And my favorite part of all of this .. is that the social media owner is empowered. Empowering your team without the fear of reprisal will allow innovation and an innovative spirit. I always told my teams ... don't be afraid to break something .. I got your back.. I think this…
The @Tesla Robotaxi app was updated last night with a larger service area. This is a screenshot from my app, it's not a joke.


Putting a LLM like @grok 4 in a @Tesla brings up a whole host of thoughts and questions about integration. Obviously because Tesla owns the stack and develops their own software things like navigation control, environment control, and system control seem possible. I am…
I am out flying this week, but checked my remote cameras this morning and found a couple of images of the @Tesla ADAS Operator in the AI4 Model Y yesterday. They are out testing something! With @elonmusk comment that @grok would be available in some Tesla's by next week, this…


Even if the answer for many of us is yes or maybe.. I know I speak for a large contingent that would rather you not get mired into the difficult task of starting an another political party. Not only will it be difficult, but also very distracting from more important things you…
Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?
As a veteran, I’ve seen the cost of freedom up close. This Fourth of July, despite the our different viewpoints, personally religiously and politically, I’m grateful for the USA—our resilience, our ideals, and the sacrifices that keep us strong. Let’s honor our nation by working…
A new Testflight version of the @robotaxi app just dropped. I am not in Austin, Tx to test it, but this is what the update says. @Tesla_AI
