How do you see this and think fully autonomous driving is years away?

Doubt this gets seen or acknowledged, but seriously @teslasi please fix this! I’ve lost 2 aero covers already because of how narrow FSD takes right-hand turns in 📐. I hoped 14.3.10 would fix it, but it’s still happening. @wmorrill3 @aelluswamy @Tesla

Listen, lots of us love @cybertruck, but there are some that don’t, and FSD 14.3.8 waiting until the absolute last second to merge over before an exit or turn is making it damn near impossible to not intervene because someone doesn’t let me over. Please fix @teslasi @aelluswamy

Sounds like @cybertruck PowerShare with Powerwalls is coming very soon. 🤞🏼
Replying to @ericdmann
will ship before you take delivery so you better come up with a new name

My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea". I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.

This is exactly why I will never buy another primary car that doesn’t have Full Self-Driving.

The navigation in/out of parking lots might be the most fundamentally stupid part of FSD. It’s riddled with constant little unnecessary turns. Make it smarter please @teslasi

They left home as boys 8 decades ago to go out and save the world. Last night they sat at the WWII Memorial together and celebrated their country's 250th. Still heroic.

Much of NJ is out of power right now after the storms lastnight. A couple neighbors have generators, but even some have had them quit for random reasons. I have never been more grateful for my Tesla Powerwalls and solar. Powerwalls got me through the night and solar is recharging now to hopefully keep me powered until the grid comes back on tomorrow.

Once they send the OTA update for PowerShare to the home from my Cybertruck, I’ll never need to worry about grid outages again. Hopefully we’re not far from a fix? @wmorrill3 @teslaenergy

Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains. Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott ($40B divorce) never built shit, never risked shit, and never shipped a single product that changed the world. But they get the praise and zero scrutiny. Because they have the right politics. (BTW ~25% of Walmart employees are on government benefits.)

Shame on every media outlets that inaccurately portrayed this as Tesla’s fault, misleading the public and damaging the company’s reputation in the process.
Tesla has just officially confirmed that the driver of the Model 3 that crashed into a home in Texas manually overrode the vehicle's self-driving system by pressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle struck the home at 73 mph. A lot of mainstream media wrongly mislead people into thinking that it was the vehicles fault. Case closed.

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire. I don't know how Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren became millionaires...

Beaucoup de figures de gauche, aux US comme en Europe, qualifient Musk d'extrême droite. Certains vont jusqu'au mot « nazi ». J'ai fait l'inverse de l'accusation : lire avant de juger. Deux biographies. Des dizaines d'heures d'interviews et de documentaires. Zéro once de racisme détectée. Ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est une obsession constante pour la liberté : rachat de Twitter au nom de la liberté d'expression, réintégration des comptes bannis, publication des Twitter Files, ouverture du code de l'algorithme, open-source de Grok, brevets Tesla libérés en 2014, Starlink rallumé pour les Iraniens coupés du net pendant les manifestations et pour l'Ukraine, refus répété des demandes de censure étatiques. Maintenant, faisons l'expérience de pensée que ses accusateurs ne font jamais. Imaginez que Musk soit réellement evil. Cet homme possède un réseau de satellites qui couvre la planète, soit une capacité de surveillance quasi totale. Il possède la place publique numérique la plus influente du monde. Il possède la première fortune à 1000 milliards de l'Histoire, depuis l'IPO de SpaceX le 12 juin. Aucun individu n'a jamais concentré autant de leviers. Un Musk réellement malveillant, avec ça dans les mains, ne tolérerait pas une seconde qu'on le traite de nazi H24 sur sa propre plateforme. Il bannirait. Il surveillerait. Il écraserait. On serait déjà dans 1984. Or regardez la réalité : les comptes qui l'accusent de nazisme tweetent toujours. Tous les jours. Sans entrave. Sur son réseau. Avec son algorithme. La dystopie totalitaire qu'on lui prête se démontre par l'absence du goulag. Voilà le retournement. 1984 le contrôle de la parole, la surveillance de masse, la désignation publique des hérétiques ce n'est pas son projet. C'est le fantasme de ceux qui l'accusent. L'accusation décrit toujours l'accusateur. C'est du Girard à l'état pur : on désigne un bouc émissaire pour ne pas voir le mécanisme qu'on porte soi-même. Celui qui hurle « nazi » rêve souvent, en silence, du pouvoir de bannir, de ficher, de faire taire. L'homme qui aurait tous les moyens de bâtir 1984 est précisément celui qui laisse ses pires détracteurs parler. Demandez-vous qui, dans cette histoire, rêve vraiment du télécran.

Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

A man working as a welder at SpaceX for $28 an hour has just become a millionaire. Juan Hernandez, who came from Mexico, welded rockets for SpaceX at $28 an hour. SpaceX gave him $10,000 in stock when he went full time in 2015, and he bought more with every paycheck for 10 years. $SPCX is now trading at $167, making his shares worth over $1 million.

Ok Robinhood gave me 24 of the 148 $SPCX shares requested (16%), and Fidelity gave me 10 of the 123 requested (8%). Curious how it looks once the market opens today.
