๐ง๏ธ New FSD Files drive: FSD takes us from heavy rain at the North Bend Supercharger east on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass.
๐พ Right as we pass under the Animal Crossing Bridge near Keechelus Lake, the rain gives way to sunshine โ๏ธ, and we cruise under blue skies past Cle Elum.

๐ Tesla's US configurator now lists the Model Y RWD at 348 miles of EPA-estimated range, up from 321, with the price still $39,990.
๐ Tesla hasn't announced a hardware change or a price increase, so its cheapest Model Y now goes further on a single charge at no extra cost.
๐บ๐ธ Tesla increases the Model Y RWDโs EPA-rated range by 8.4% in the US!
โ Now: 348 miles / 560 km [+27 mi / +43 km]
โ Previously: 321 miles / 517 km
The reason behind this range increase remains unclear. Tesla has not explained whatโs driving the improvement.
๐จ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ Tesla North America says its FSD (Supervised) referral program, where owners gift a free month of FSD, is now available in Canada and Mexico.
๐ More owners in two new markets can now try FSD (Supervised) for a month at no cost before deciding whether to subscribe.
๐๐ Tesla's official Robotaxi account says the service now runs 24/7 in every city where it's available.โจโฐ Riders no longer have to plan around set service hours, because the Robotaxi app now works around the clock.โจhttps://t.co/OZZK98VEVo
๐ Tesla's live Robotaxi counter, which estimates fleet miles at the current pace, now shows over 5 million autonomous miles, up from 3.1M confirmed through Oct 18.
๐ Adding roughly 1.9M miles in under four weeks shows how quickly the Robotaxi fleet is scaling across its 8 cities.

@cybertruck A 1:10 Cybertruck with 4WD, a brushless motor and a top speed around 37 mph is one Cybertruck nobody has to wait in the order backlog for ๐ป๐
@elonmusk Simulating a whole Megapack site in real time before it ever touches the grid, the way Tesla's CHIL setup does, is how faults get caught before they can turn into blackouts โก
๐ Tesla Semi says Chicago's first 50 Semis are en route for delivery.
๐ A 50-truck first batch for one new city shows the high-volume Semi line in Nevada is now feeding new markets.
๐ป Elon Musk says Cybertruck production will be extended through the end of summer 2027 to work through more of the order backlog.
๐ฆ That's later than the roughly 8-month line shutdown he outlined on Nov 9, so more pending orders can get built before the line ends.
๐ป Unplugged Performance just made Tesla a public offer to take over the Cybertruck line, funded by outside investors, so Tesla's floor space, staff and battery cells all go to Cybercab ๐
๐ฐ Tesla would collect a license fee plus FSD and Robotaxi revenue on every truck, and Unplugged says it would also build a three-row CyberSUV and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler ๐ค
An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and weโd be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
Weโd fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Teslaโs floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. Weโll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
Weโd build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?
๐ซ๐ฎ Finland's regulator Traficom has cleared Tesla Assisted Driving, Europe's name for FSD (Supervised), and Tesla Europe says rollout begins soon.
โ๏ธ Traficom moved ahead of the pending EU-wide vote so Finnish owners can learn the system before the hardest winter conditions arrive.
๐๐ A cop walks up to check out a parked Tesla, and it breaks into a full Light Show on him.

๐ Tesla Robotaxi now has 1,302 vehicles on the Texas DMV automated-vehicle roster (729 Model Y, 573 Cybercab), passing Waymo's 1,297 for the first time.
๐ Tesla was 15 behind on Nov 1, so its Texas fleet is now growing faster than Waymo's there.

๐ Tesla opened a new 6-stall Megacharger in Hodgkins, IL, just outside Chicago.
๐ It adds a public Tesla Semi charging stop in the Chicago area, one of the country's biggest freight hubs.
@robotaxi Almost half an hour of self-driving set to lofi is a pretty relaxed way to show off a Robotaxi ride ๐ง Long, calm stretches like that are what I enjoy most on FSD Supervised in my Model Y.
๐ฅช๐ Tesla Diner just launched its V2 Holiday Sando. It comes vegan, with turkey or bacon as add-ons.
๐ A seasonal menu gives drivers one more reason to plan a charging stop at the Diner.
@elonmusk@PalmerLuckey@carlhancock Pulling the driver's cost out of every trip is the whole bet, and Cybercab is built without a steering wheel or pedals for exactly that ๐
๐ป Tesla has stopped taking Cybertruck Premium AWD orders, leaving the Cyberbeast as the only trim, now $109,990 after a $7,500 increase.
๐ With the line set to wind down, Tesla is steering the last Cybertruck orders to its highest-priced version.
๐๐บ๐ธ Tesla has discontinued Cybertruck Premium AWD orders!
The Cyberbeast is now the only version available to order, and its price has just increased again:
โ $109,990 [+$7,500 / +7.3%]
Tesla will likely prioritize Cyberbeast production through mid-2027, as the higher-end version delivers better margins.
