When @Starlink became a lifeline for a mother and her baby in rural Colombia.
Karina, 24, was facing a high-risk pregnancy after previously losing a baby. Reaching town from her remote community could take two days on horseback.
A visiting doctor brought a portable Starlink terminal and an ultrasound machine. Through Starlink, a specialist hundreds of kilometres away watched the scan live, guided the examination and identified the need for an immediate hospital transfer.
Karina reached the hospital in time. Her baby was born safely, and she had no complications.
Starlink brought specialist medical guidance into a home far from the city and helped a mother get urgent care.
This is why Starlink matters. It connects people to help when lives are at stake.
This lifesaving technology should be available in every part of the world.
Now that the Houston geofence is expanded, Cybercab launch in Dallas is next - We know launch is November, but how many Cybercabs will Dallas launch with? 🚕🤔
📝 Tesla is registering ~75-95 Cybercabs a week, and most of the 463 registered have been for Austin so far
📍 Austin launched Sept 3 with 45-49 Cybercabs at ~663k miles and keeps adding cabs. Dallas passed that mileage ~Oct 16
If Dallas matches Austin’s Cybercab count at the same unsupervised mileage?:
🟢 Early Nov: ~50-100
🟢 Mid Nov: ~65-175
🟢 Late Nov: ~90-340
We'll see where the Dallas Cybercab launch lands soon ✍🏻
SOS 🚨 For years, the question was how fast Tesla could build cars. With Cybercab, the question is how fast the world can make room for them 🔥
During Munro’s tour of the Cybercab factory, @larsmoravy revealed that the line doesn’t even run every day. In his words, “the line can run so fast it’s currently outpacing our robotaxi deployments, so it’s a bit of a race right now to see who can go faster.”
That’s a remarkable reversal for Tesla.
During the Model 3 ramp, the factory was the bottleneck, and Elon famously called it “production hell”. When Tesla later pushed its lines toward even more automation, it hit a wall. As Lars put it, “the problem wasn’t the automation. The problem was the design”.
That’s why Cybercab was designed around the factory from day one. The car is split into modules that are built and tested in parallel, then joined in about 25 final assembly stations, roughly a fifth to a tenth of what a Model Y needs. The framing line is fully automated, and the whole operation was planned to build thousands of cars a week in about half the usual floor space.
Now the race has moved, and that flips how expansion works. Normally, a new market has to wait for the factory to catch up. With Cybercab, the cars could be ready before the next city is.
And once the cities start catching up, this line finally gets to run every day.
Tesla has released new FSD (Supervised) safety data.
Miles per major collision:
• Teslas Driven With FSD (Supervised): 6,006,200
• Teslas Driven Manually (Active Safety Features): 2,031,221
• Teslas Driven Manually (No Active Safety Features): 845,915
• U.S. Average: 660,164
Total major collisions:
• Teslas with FSD (Supervised): 1,579
• Teslas driven manually with Active Safety: 17,775
• Teslas driven manually without Active Safety: 239
• U.S. average: 4,989,713
Total miles logged:
• Teslas with FSD (Supervised): 9,483,790,215
• Teslas driven manually with Active Safety: 36,104,958,020
• Teslas driven manually without Active Safety: 202,173,600
• U.S. drivers overall: 3,294,031,000,000
Tesla vehicles with FSD (Supervised) engaged experienced ~9x 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.
The future of road trips just pulled up. ⚡️

Tesla FSD (Supervised) is now on Turo, with eligible hosts getting a complimentary one-month trial to get more guest-favorite cars ready to go. 👀
Anthropic has officially revealed in its IPO filing today that the company expects to spend up to $120.5 billion on @SpaceX SI compute through 2029.
• Monthly payments up to $3.1B, or $37.2B annually.
• SpaceX is expected to deliver all contracted computing capacity by Dec 2026.
• Anthropic (and SpaceX) can terminate the agreements with 90 days' notice after the initial contract periods end in early 2027.
Here's the exact wording directly from the filing: "Between May and October 2026, we entered into and amended several agreements with SpaceXAI to access compute powered by Nvidia GPUs. Under the SpaceXAI arrangements, we agreed to spend an aggregate of up to $120.5 billion over terms extending into 2029, consisting of approximately $3.1 billion in the aggregate per month once all capacity has been delivered, which we expect in December 2026, with different fees during capacity ramping periods. Following initial non-cancelable periods ending in January 2027 and March 2027 under the respective agreements, each agreement may be cancelled by either party upon 90 days’ advance written notice."

BREAKING: Turo and Tesla just announced the first verified Tesla FSD(Supervised) rental experience in the U.S., launching October 28.
• For guests: You can search for and book Teslas with FSD (Supervised) activated. FSD status is verified through a direct Tesla API integration.
• For hosts: Once a host links their Tesla account to Turo, FSD status is verified automatically and shown on eligible listings. Eligible U.S. hosts also get a free one-month FSD (Supervised) trial.
• Scale: Thousands of FSD-enabled Teslas are already on Turo. The Model 3 and Model Y are the 3rd and 4th most popular models on the platform this year.
• CEO quote: Turo CEO Andre Haddad says 55% of Americans, and 71% of Gen Z, are interested in self-driving tech for travel.
🚨 BREAKING: LATVIA JUST APPROVED TESLA FSD! 🇱🇻
Latvia’s road authority (CSDD) has officially recognized the Dutch RDW’s provisional approval of Tesla FSD (now Tesla Assisted Driving).
That makes Latvia the 10th EU country to approve it, meaning ALL THREE Baltic states have now given FSD the green light! 🇪🇺
And the best part? Latvia didn’t wait for the EU-wide TCMV vote in December. It took matters into its own hands, just like the other countries.
The dominoes keep falling.
How many more countries need to approve FSD before Brussels finally catches up?
Austin Robotaxi vs. Uber. F1 race day exodus, COTA to downtown:
🚕 Cybercab - $76.07 - ~40 min wait ⏱️ 🚕 Model Y - $78.33 - 4 min wait ⏱️ 🚙 Uber Comfort - $126.98 - 12 min wait ⏱️ 🚙 Uber Premier - $127.99 - 7 min wait ⏱️
🔴 Every Uber tier on the screen runs $112.96 to $172.99. That Premier SUV is the highest Uber fare in my entire log. Good for Robotaxi, bad for Uber.
🟢 Model Y is $48 under Uber Comfort and still arrives at 7:52pm. Quicker and cheaper
Everyone leaving a Grand Prix at once, and Robotaxi was the cheapest ride out 🚕
Cern’s cost per mile assessment (Robotaxi: ~$4 per mile vs Uber: ~$6 per mile) shows what Robotaxi can do as supply increases in a Robotaxi geofence ✍️
The epstein class only hire the shittiest people to be pigs, prosecutors, and judges… most of whom are paid in slave kids to eat
A rational person can see instantly the driver’s body language shows he had no clue WTF was going on
32 more Cybercabs added to the Texas DMV registry 😮
✅ Total fleet: 970 ✅ Cybercabs: 463 (47.7% of fleet) ✅ Model Ys: 507
📈 Up 68% in October alone 🚕 +392 Robotaxis so far this month ⚡ ~17 added per day in October
30 more Robotaxis til we hit 1k in Texas. 1k by November 1st is almost guaranteed.
The fleet has doubled every ~30 days since April.
We are going exponential 📈
