This blatantly irresponsible reporting does more harm to people than they realize.

Using Tesla self-driving is far safer than manual driving, and this was measured over 10B miles.

Planting such FUD in the minds of general public, who might not know the all the facts, might prevent them from using this technology that makes them safer.

[Ashok Elluswamy @aelluswamy]

@elonmusk @kylaschwaberow Yup. In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area. They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.

@BruceTa55302936 Nice work - great to see.

First time I've seen a paid ad from @TeslaAUNZ in Auckland. Looking good!

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

@Tesla_AI @RobGrieves What about?

[Tesla Australia & New Zealand @TeslaAUNZ]

FSD Supervised v14 now rolling out in Australia 🇦🇺 & New Zealand 🇳🇿

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Hello!!!

[Teslascope @teslascope]

Full Self-Driving V14.3.3 for Australia and New Zealand is here.

[Tesla @Tesla]

FSD Supervised is life-changing for drivers with disabilities

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

@ryanjaycowan They’re in Ashburton in the South Island currently so winter testing seems to make sense.

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

@ryanjaycowan Seeing more photos / videos on NZ FB pages too. The cybercabs have LHD steering wheels. No clearer photos of the SUV yet.

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

@RobGrieves Congrats! You’re going to love it!

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Small heart attack... Thought v14 was here!

Solar generation was up 60% year on year!!

[Charted Daily @Charteddaily]

New data from @MBIEgovtnz shows renewables made up a record 95.5% of New Zealand's electricity generation in the six months to March 2026.
Solar generation was up 60% year-on-year.

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Another great argument for adopting and accelerating autonomy!

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

@ryanjaycowan Congratulations!! Wonderful news.

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Lovely winter’s morning in Auckland

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Nice!!

Model Y was the best selling EV in NZ for the month of May 🇳🇿

That's sweet as

[Daniel Collins @DanConline]

Can’t wait to see this become the norm - particularly in New Zealand where Vero is the preferred Tesla insurance partner so should be building the data set to support this.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Tesla drivers in Indiana can now get an up to 50% insurance discount when using FSD (Supervised), with the launch of Lemonade’s new Autonomous Car insurance program.

"Tesla FSD is twice as safe, so Lemonade takes 50% off every mile driven with FSD. The more you drive with FSD, the less you pay. As FSD versions improve, prices go down."

HW4 Tesla owners only. Expansion to other states is coming soon.

Model Y was the best selling vehicle of any kind in Australia for the month of May

Making it the first electric car in history to lead the overall AU sales charts across all fuel types
