@TheTeslaLife I’ve been saying I wouldn’t buy any car that can’t drive itself, with that being said I can’t imagine buying any other vehicle other than a Tesla!

Tesla has released new FSD (Supervised) safety data.

Miles per major collision:
• Teslas Driven With FSD (Supervised): 5,690,675
• Teslas Driven Manually (Active Safety Features): 2,076,014
• Teslas Driven Manually (No Active Safety Features): 859,465
• U.S. Average: 698,781

Total major collisions:
• Teslas with FSD (Supervised): 1,255
• Teslas driven manually with Active Safety: 17,380
• Teslas driven manually without Active Safety: 239
• U.S. average: 4,646,404

Total miles logged:
• Teslas with FSD (Supervised): 7,141,797,525
• Teslas driven manually with Active Safety: 36,081,121,994
• Teslas driven manually without Active Safety: 205,412,073
• U.S. drivers overall: 3,246,817,000,000

Tesla vehicles with FSD (Supervised) engaged experienced ~7x fewer major collisions than those driving without it on.

This is North America data across all road classes (highway and non-highway). The data reflects a rolling twelve-month aggregation of miles and collisions.

I’m so proud of our Nova team for flying incredible shows for FIFA this year.

This is my favorite shot from our closing show in NYC this weekend.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its preliminary report on last month's Model 3 house crash in Texas.

They found the driver did press the accelerator pedal to 100%, overriding FSD (Supervised), supporting @Tesla's argument that driver action caused the crash.

Report: "On June 19, 2026, a 2025 Tesla Model 3 electric car, occupied solely by a 44-year-old driver, was traveling east on Rose Hollow Lane in Katy, Harris County, Texas, when it departed the roadway, partially entered a driveway, and crashed into a residence. At the time of the crash, the driver had engaged Tesla’s FSD (Supervised). Electronic data recovered from the vehicle indicated that before the crash, the driver manually overrode FSD (Supervised) by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100%, and the vehicle’s speed was greater than 70 mph when the crash occurred. As a result of the crash, an occupant in the residence was fatally injured and the driver sustained minor injuries.

Rose Hollow Lane is a residential two-lane road with one westbound and one eastbound lane and a speed limit of 30 mph. In the eastbound direction, Rose Hollow Lane terminates at an intersection with Blooming Park Lane, requiring through-traffic to turn right. Security camera footage showed the car’s path of travel as it continued straight through the intersection, departed the roadway, and struck the residence.

At the time of the crash, the weather was clear, the roadway was dry, and daylight conditions were present.

​Parties to the NTSB investigation include:
• Harris County Sheriff's Office
• Tesla

All aspects of the crash remain under investigation while the NTSB determines the probable cause, with the intent of issuing safety recommendations to prevent similar crashes."

@whatitdobro2023 @SawyerMerritt I’ve been quoted as saying it’s like going back to a rotary phone when you drive an ice vehicle! We call our 2019 forerunner the dumb car its stupid as a rock!

@blacampb @SawyerMerritt I use mine for just about everything, I’m retired, we have put 22,000 miles on our Model Y in one year! It’s a chore to drive my other vehicles.

[David Addington @DavidAddingto77]

@SawyerMerritt Model Y, best vehicle I’ve ever owned, never want to go back, my 2019 4Runner reminds me why every time I have to drive it! My 1999 Ford super duty Dooley 7.3 diesel will wear you out! I only have to drive it about once a month and that’s too much! Dreaming of a Cybertruck!

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.

Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

PEOPLE ARE BLAMING ELON MUSK FOR “DEATHS” FROM USAID CUTS — BUT THE DATA AND REALITY SAY OTHERWISE

Opponents are loudly claiming that cutting wasteful USAID spending is killing people in poor countries.

Here’s what’s actually happening:

• No evidence of mass deaths — Preliminary 2025 mortality data from several African countries shows no increase in deaths after major USAID cuts. In some places, deaths even decreased.
• USAID had serious problems — Widespread waste, fraud, and misuse of taxpayer money. Multiple USAID officials have been charged with stealing funds and pled guilty. Programs included bizarre spending like drag shows in Ecuador, pushing certain ideologies abroad, and even influencing foreign elections.
• Good parts were preserved — Effective humanitarian aid was transferred to the State Department. Only the wasteful, fraudulent, or politically weaponized portions were cut.
• Fearmongering with models — Claims of “millions dying” come from projections and assumptions, not actual body counts. No one can name specific victims caused by the cuts.
