The speed is astonishing

FSD Supervised now approved in Czechia 🇨🇿

Rollout will begin soon

Cybertruck's wheelbase is 25% longer than the Model Y, but thanks to Steer-by-wire and Rear-wheel steering it launched with a turning circle only 9% larger.

After Elon drove one of the first trucks, he said - The steering is great. But I think we can make it more magical.

The team took that to heart and worked to squeeze all the capability possible from the hardware. Within a few weeks of the start of production, an over the air update went out that decreased the turning circle by nearly 2 feet.

"The steering feels magical" is still one of my favorite comments to hear from people who try Cybertruck for the first time.

Every glib, arrogant, virtue-signalling celebrity who’s broadcast the lie that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition deserves to have this read aloud to them non-stop through a megaphone for a year.

A 10 year old child’s experiment demonstrated that memories can be inherited across generations.

The story started when Jo Nagai, a second grader from Kobe, Japan, observed that swallowtail butterflies he had raised by hand appeared to recognize him, whereas wild butterflies would flee.

Motivated to uncover a scientific explanation, he contacted Georgetown University entomologist Dr. Martha Weiss, who had previously shown that moths retain memories despite the extensive cellular reorganization during metamorphosis.

Encouraged by her research, Jo suggested conducting a similar study with butterflies. This led to a remarkable international collaboration. Using a simple setup created at home, Jo conditioned caterpillars to link a gentle vibration with the smell of lavender.

Remarkably, after their brains were entirely reconstructed inside the chrysalis, 70 percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender scent, demonstrating that their memories had endured the transformation.

The most surprising result emerged when Jo bred these conditioned insects. Neither the offspring nor the grandchildren had ever encountered the vibration, yet both generations displayed an instinctive aversion to the lavender scent.

At the age of ten, Jo compiled his groundbreaking observations into a 33 page paper and presented them alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. This discovery of transgenerational memory challenges conventional views of genetics and inheritance while illustrating how a child’s curiosity can push the frontiers of scientific understanding.

If this was a Tesla every news site would have 40,000 articles about it already

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Remember how eagerly the press swallowed stories about how Twitter was going to crash after Elon bought it? How could they have believed that someone who could run rocket and car companies couldn't run a forum?

SpaceX has released the next episode of its docuseries about Starship.

Prufrock-5 finishing a test-tunnel in Bastrop, Texas.

The ~900,000 lb boring machine will re-launch in November.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

So here's a crazy stat: Starship's upcoming 14th test flight next week, which will deliver 26 @Starlink V3 satellites to orbit for the first time, will increase the entire Starlink constellation capacity by 3%.

It would take 10 Falcon 9 launches (277 V2 satellites) to add that same amount of capacity.

Future Starship launches will eventually carry up to 60 next-gen Starlink V3 satellites, adding ~61,000 Gbps of network capacity in a single launch. That means each Starship launch will be able to deploy roughly as much Starlink capacity as 23 Falcon 9 launches combined - equivalent to about 640 V2 satellites.

2 years of testing FSD Supervised all over Spain

Across 460,000 km, we have seen it all

Love seeing government officials actually trying @Tesla FSD (Supervised). Here's the Deputy Prime Minister of Slovenia using it on public roads:

"t doesn't get tired, doesn't fall asleep, and can significantly contribute to safer driving. On to the next step – robotaxis."

For every kid who was told “you can’t.” ❤️

Impressive maneuvering by Tesla FSD (Supervised) on the picturesque Mangart Saddle Road, the highest road in Slovenia (2,055 m), in the heart of the Julian Alps. 🇸🇮

Full video coming soon on my YouTube channel (https://t.co/HSF2zvcUfv), with more FSD tests in interesting situations coming in the future. Feel free to subscribe!

Looking back, Full Self-Driving has faced the same relentless fear tactics.

It feels little different from the AI panic being stoked today—often by nearly the same voices. The lives being saved, however, is enormous.

For years we have held this conviction, quietly improving the products. Not for fortune or fame, but so the people we love can arrive home safely.
