Fun fact: the same Liner Truck can carry standard freight containers through the tunnel.
A man spent years searching for the nanny who raised him. When he finally found her, he gave her $16,000 and arranged a monthly allowance to ensure she could enjoy the same comfort and care she had once provided him.
A French man captured the hearts of millions online after spending 38 years searching for the nanny who cared for him as an infant in Ivory Coast. His father had been stationed there for work, but when the family eventually returned to France, they lost all contact with the woman who had played such an important role in his early life.
Despite the decades and distance between them, he never forgot her kindness and maternal affection, considering her a “second mother” and promising himself that he would one day find her and express his gratitude.
After finally locating her living a modest life, he traveled back to West Africa for an emotional reunion filled with tears and joy. Wanting to repay the care she had given him, he gifted her 10 million CFA francs (about $16,000 USD), a new car, and arranged a lifelong monthly allowance to support her retirement. The story became a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of compassion and the bonds formed through childhood care.
A buddy of mine asked me last night, “Is that Tesla worth it?”
I said I paid $18 to charge my car for a month, I rarely drive it because it drives for me, when I’m waiting for my girl while she’s in Target, I can watch YouTube or Netflix in my car that has an amazing sound system.
Is it worth it? You tell me.
For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility
“I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.
Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.
Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me.
It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.
Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.”
