If any other auto company shipped what Tesla just put in my Cyberbeast this morning, it would be a MAJOR launch event, like with a stage set up, a 40-minute presentation with people flying in around the world to see how amazing this technology is.
Tesla on the other hand just sent it to my truck overnight with an over-the-air software update.
I downloaded FSD (Supervised) v14.3.8 this morning and made Grok do all of this while my Cyberbeast drove itself.
Watch the video, if you think I’m lying.
I had Grok:
1/ add a destination
2/ add a second stop
3/ start FSD (just had to press a button)
4/ turn my AC to 68
5/ turn the seat coolers on medium
6/ then change the seat cooler to high
7/ play a song
8/ change to a different song
9/ open the glovebox (had to enter my pin)
10/ close the glovebox
11/ tell me the weather
12/ play Elon’s song
13/ change my destination to San Francisco mid-drive
14/ pick a Supercharger bc I was almost out of battery
ALL with my hands and feet off the steering wheel and pedals…
Here’s exactly how it went.
I said hey Grok, take me to the Pruneridge Golf Club closest to me, then the Starbucks near there.
It set both.
I started FSD with a press of a button.
Then I just kept talking to it.
It was kind of hot in my Cybertruck, so I asked Grok to set the temperature to 68 and cool.
Done.
Then I said put the seat coolers on medium… it turned it on.
Then I said change the seat coolers to high… it bumped it up.
I said to play a song from Future… it put a song on Spotify that wasn’t what I was looking for.
So I changed it.
I said to play a song from Lil Baby.
That was the one.
Then I asked Grok to open my glovebox.
It wouldn’t do it until I put my PIN in on the screen, which I actually respect for safety.
I typed in my PIN… it opened it.
Then I said close the glovebox… it closed.
I asked what the weather was… it said it was sunny in Santa Clara, high 85, low 64.
Then I said play Don’t Doubt ur Vibe, I think that’s Elon… it pulled up Don’t Doubt ur Vibe by Elon “EDM” Musk on Spotify.
Halfway there I changed my mind on where I wanted to go.
I said actually take me to San Francisco first and that I might have to stop at a Supercharger bc I’m almost out of battery.
Grok looked at my truck sitting at 14% battery life with 38 miles of range.
And knowing San Francisco is 39 miles away it found a Tesla supercharger for me to charge along the way.
I said thanks Grok.
A Tesla is starting to feel like an AI on wheels that can drive, listen, understand what I want, control the cabin, change my plans, and solve problems for me in real time… almost like another person is there with me, except that intelligence is embodied in the car itself.
And the wildest part is I didn’t buy anything new!
I went to sleep with one Cyberbeast and woke up with a more capable one.
That’s why I think people still underestimate what happens when Tesla combines FSD, Grok, its vehicles, and over-the-air software into one system.
That car sitting in your driveway doesn’t stay the same car.
It keeps gaining new abilities.
It keeps getting smarter.
And often, you literally wake up to a major release that changes what the car can do.
Any other automaker would have put this on a stage.
Tesla shipped it while I was sleeping.
Mind blown…
SpaceX is getting very close to building the first serious base on the Moon
Starship changes the entire equation
It is designed to deliver up to 100 tonnes directly to the lunar surface - enough to transport habitats, rovers, power systems, construction equipment and everything needed to begin building a permanent outpost
Then the other pieces come together
Tesla Optimus robots could eventually unload cargo, assemble structures, move equipment and perform dangerous construction work before large human crews arrive
Building a base mostly with humans is a serious limitation
Humans need life support, pressurized habitats, spacesuits, oxygen, food and protection just to survive and work on the lunar surface
But with Tesla Optimus, that equation changes entirely
Tesla’s experience with solar energy, batteries, autonomous vehicles and large-scale manufacturing can support the power and transportation systems required on the Moon
SpaceX provides transportation
Tesla provides energy, autonomy and robotics
Starship provides the scale
Suddenly building a serious base on the Moon becomes dramatically easier
And once that infrastructure is ready, humans can stay for much longer periods and eventually even routine private lunar missions and tourism become possible
Once the first permanent lunar outpost is established, its usefulness will compound rapidly.....supporting science, resource development, communications and deeper missions into space
The Moon could become humanity’s first true outpost beyond Earth
ELON MUSK: "One of the things I found over time is that, in terms of like recruiting people to the company, or having people work with the company, their individual abilities, their intellectual capabilities matter a lot, but it also matters if they have a good heart. It's not just about whether somebody has, you know, certain IQ or whatever, but like a good person that matters, that matters a lot."
