GTA VI on Floppy Disks Would Take Nearly Two Months to Install

GTA VI is reportedly a 210 GB download. If you tried to install it from old 1.44 MB floppy disks—the storage standard many PC users relied on through the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s—you would need 145,834 disks.

Back then, a floppy was how you carried documents, shared games, and booted a PC. Today, GTA VI would need a stack of them roughly 510 metres tall—more than five Eiffel Towers.

Reading all that data would take around 38 days, before you even start swapping disks. At 10 seconds per disk, the full installation would take about 55 days—assuming every disk worked first time.

It is a reminder of how far storage technology has come: what would once have needed a warehouse-sized pile of disks now fits on something smaller than your pocket.

@AndreasAndyO @herbertong Well, we still have the little country called Germany to overcome. But, I hope they will make the right decision to promote safety ahead of trying to protect their market. All countries have to realise that Tesla is open for others to adopt their technology. It saves lives

Europe is killing Tesla drivers every month it delays FSD approval.

- EU road deaths: ~19,400 in 2025 → ~1,617/month
- If Tesla’s supervised FSD is 10× safer than a human, every Tesla mile driven by a person instead of FSD is unnecessarily risky
- With ~1–1.2M Teslas on European roads, that’s ~5–10 preventable deaths every month just among Tesla drivers and their crash partners
- Yet as of Sept 2026, FSD Supervised is legal in only 6 of 27 EU states:
🇳🇱 🇱🇹 🇪🇪 🇩🇰 🇧🇪 🇸🇮
- A bloc‑wide vote is expected on 6 Oct 2026

Every month of delay, Tesla owners are forced to drive less safely than their cars are capable of.
Approve FSD. Save Tesla drivers’ lives.

OMG I needed a laugh and this definitely gave me one! This is Hilarious! The Title is a Little Girl’s search for her dad! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@elonmusk That judge should become a clown instead. Is she serious??

[Lars Torngren @DaSwedeUK]

@squawksquare @YahooFinance Why wouldn't he buy Tesla cars for his other businesses?? This is just silly clickbait news

[Lars Torngren @DaSwedeUK]

@TeslaBoomerMama They are asking is to wait and get back to them if the proxy codes have not been shared by Oct 30..

[Lars Torngren @DaSwedeUK]

@TeslaBoomerMama Revolut UK has still not sent out links for the voting. Any suggestions to what we can do to get them to do it?

[Lars Torngren @DaSwedeUK]

Thank you for sharing that. It's helpful to know that other Revolut users are also waiting for this email, which confirms it's not an issue specific to your email account.

To explain the process, Tesla’s AGM materials are prepared and sent by their external registrar, not by Revolut. As soon as we receive those materials, they are automatically forwarded to the email address we have on file for you, which is xxxx

Proxy-vote materials for November AGMs often arrive closer to the meeting date, typically in late October. This timing can vary by registrar and is outside of Revolut’s control.

I'd suggest checking again in early November. If the email still hasn't arrived in your inbox by then, please let us know. At that point, we can verify whether the materials have reached Revolut on our end.

[Lars Torngren @DaSwedeUK]

@DavieDanger @TeslaBoomerMama I am also waiting for Revolut in UK to send through the proxy voting. Nothing received yet

If Islamists attacked the UK, launching 5,000 rockets, slaughtering hundreds at Glastonbury, raping women, burning children alive, taking hundreds of hostages, shooting dogs, and the masterminds resided in France, I'd want and expect the British government to send in the SAS to assassinate them — with or without the approval of the President of the French Republic.

@elonmusk What is even more funny is that he is basically attacking his own business Axios as well. From Wikipedia : "Axios's articles are often brief to facilitate quick reading; most are shorter than 300 words and use bullet points."
