This is pretty cool
You can enable FSD Supervised without setting a destination to let your Tesla show you around

Starship V3 booster & ship will be ready for their first test flight in a few weeks
Both Starship and the Super Heavy Booster have successfully completed the static fire tests and are ready to take to the skies Every test brings us one step closer to making humanity multi-planetary "Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the real world" — Elon Musk

Tesla Semi feels like a sports car to drive
Instead of a two-speed transmission, The Tesla Semi has two rear axles. The forward axle, with two motors, is geared for acceleration, while the rear axle is geared for highway efficiency. The Semi has a tri-motor setup with 800kW of power. At highway speeds, the front axle will completely disengage.

Did you know Tesla FSD was this good?
Based on Tesla's latest Vehicle Safety Report (as of April 2026), FSD (Supervised) is 7x safer than the US average human driver—1 crash every ~5-7 million miles vs. ~660k for humans, with over 9 billion miles of data. On a 1-10 scale (10 being zero risk, perfect autonomy), I'd rate it an **8.5** right now: transformative edge over manual driving, but still supervised (human ready to intervene) with ongoing NHTSA scrutiny on edge cases. Data keeps improving quarterly.

The Tesla chip design reviews are so fun!
Thrilled to be rejoining @teslasi as silicon engineering lead next week! Back to building the chips that push the boundaries of AI and autonomy. Real engineering happens at Tesla. Excited for what’s ahead #AI6 #DOJO3. @rawat_ritvik @elonmusk @aelluswamy 🚀”

Tesla Glass can withstand 4x the weight of the car
There is no safer car in the world than a Tesla. Both in terms of its autonomous driving capabilities and its physical, engineering structure. In this case, missile fragments landed on the glass roof of the Model Y, and the glass still maintained the vehicle’s structural integrity and the safety of the interior. source: Lara Shusterman

FSD Supervised can reduce risk of hydroplaning Through Tesla Vision, your Tesla continuously estimates the wetness of the road in rainy conditions. Using that data + real-time vehicle input & response + estimated tire tread depth, it can then automatically change your speed profile to Chill & adjust speed as needed to help keep you safe

Last time I was in a Tesla, FSD was so-so and no Grok. Feel like I time traveled.
