Why does any company do halo projects and racing teams? To win over customers for their non-halo staples. To develop cutting edge tech which eventually potentially makes it into other vehicles. To just sharpen their engineering skills. Bragging rights. Advanciythe state of the art generally. Etc etc... Cars aren't simply transportation, never have been, nor horses, this is pure motor sport. Perhaps as a @Tesla/@SpaceX merger pitch, but all Elon Ventures have always cross pollinated. An OG roadster was the validation payload for Falcon Heavy. Tesla motors were used as grid fin actuators and @boringcompany tunnels propulsion. They all benefit from the battery tech. The starship stainless transfered to the @CyberTruck. The AI is used in @Neuralink brain signal processing deciphering. The synergies are obvious and apparent across all the companies. And they all further the ultimate @NASAMars aspiration to create redundancy for life beyond our inevitable ELE vulnerable cradle we call @Earth, and that mission will enhance our curation of @NASAEarth itself. All these things have been apparent and obvious to me for perhaps a decade, and since the inception of each new company. Given the correct frame of reference it is all the epitome of selfless expertise in the wielding of capitalism and the best of the human minds potentials in the teams he creates and leads. Knight Industries, Stark Industries, and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation have nothing on @ElonMusk Enterprises. ;)

Great #NDEW2026 @DriveElecEvents at Green River College @GreenRiverCC campus. Used my @CyberTruck to charge our @SeattleEVA club presidents converted flat bed, though he didn't really need it.

My first sighting of a @RoboTaxi CyberCab in the wild in the PNW on the 520 west bound leaving Redmond headed for perhaps Bellevue. One passenger in the "drivers" seat, likely an employee, no steering wheel. As I ride along in my own personal @CyberTruck RoboTaxi.

Not much happening here in this PNW Cybertruck X Groups, so thought I would make some noise... (or maybe I just forget to check this feed, DOHH) Anyway: Mountain Loop Highway drive is this Sunday per facebook.com/groups/12040637…

Every customer survey respons until manual max speed control back: FSD needs to have manual max speed restored, it will never perfectly know my "implied preference" to slow well under the speed limit on a mountain switchback so to not wake my sleeping wife with motion sickness. My only option is to increase my risk of an accident by disenging FSD, simply because an existing feature that would take no effort to restore doesn't make sense in a fully autonomous robotaxi? There are many valid and legal reasons an owner might wish to precisely control the speed, convoying, off-roading, bad signage reading, low SoC needing to slow to make the context charger, site seeing, etc, etc. @aelluswamy is frankly wrong & being obstinate & intentional making many of our experiences appreciably worse, it's NOT an anti pattern. These aren't robotaxis, they are private vehicles & we MUST have speed control, ALWAYS. Make it an option which is off by default like slippery surfaces, but it MUST be possible to control the speed AND maintain the superior safety of having FSD engaged. Removing it a year ago was one of the dumbest moves ever, & that it's still not restored a year later is pure hubris making my FSD experience regularly frustrating because of a trivial feature that is easily restored. Forward this to whomever @elonmusk @teslasi @woodhaus2 @robotaxi @Tesla_Optimus @grok can resolve the issue, apparently that isn't Ashok. It's apparent that he can't or won't comprehend situations beyond his blinders. Seriously, what harm is caused by letting us have edge case control? There will Always be edge cases, always.

This is a really great synapsis, and the beginning of what's bound to be a great series. Top notch content from this channel, a must watch and subscribe for sure.
