As a longtime EV hater, I’m coming clean: I got a Tesla Model Y Performance a few months ago.
FSD is just too good, it’s faster than a Lambo, and it costs $40/month vs the $500 I was paying in gas. Too amazing to pass up.
Haven’t ditched the V8 F-150. Still value the 600+ miles of range and the towing. But commuting in it every day was getting ridiculous.
I can’t see myself ever going 100% EV, at least not yet.
But I always said if Tesla ever made an EV that was a better product for my daily use case, I’d buy one.
With FSD they finally have. Commute and around-town driving are amazing in this thing and it’s not even close.
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
BREAKING: This is the list of influencers being paid by the DNC.
Every single person on this list is on salary, receiving payments from the DNC to promote left-wing propaganda.
Just because someone’s name isn’t included here doesn’t mean they aren’t being paid. This is only one list.
I blacked out the section that shows where they live.
This list was provided to me by an extremely trustworthy source within the organization.
This is honestly so discouraging. I work really hard for pennies. Sometimes, I actually lose money doing this.
I requested this document first. I paid for this document. I obtained it and released it well before the Daily Mail published the same story and called it an “exclusive.” And now the New York Post is citing them as the source.
I went through HELL last year to bring you my reporting on the Karmelo case. I was targeted. I was swatted. I was falsely reported to CPS. A man went to PRISON for ten years after stalking me and my family because of his obsession with the case and his loyalty to Karmelo. I was pregnant through all of it.
Did the mainstream media ever cover what I went through? No. And I’m okay with that. I never expected them to.
But pretending independent journalists don’t even exist while taking the stories we worked to uncover is something entirely different.
I did the work. I made the request. I paid for the records. I obtained the document. I released it first. Then I watched a major outlet publish the same story as an “exclusive” - and when I pushed back and asked for credit, I was blocked.
Now another major outlet is pointing to them as the source.
That is what is so discouraging. It isn’t about wanting attention. It’s about basic journalistic ethics: credit the reporter who actually did the work.
The MSM is trash.
NEW: Justin Szlasa exposed a double-billing scandal with LA homeless services and pressed for stronger audits. He was just demoted by an appointee of Mayor Bass, without explanation.
One official says it's part of a “cover-up” of dysfunction at LAHSA.

After today I will no longer support or endorse Waymo specifically. This will likely result in losing followers and/or ruffling some feathers, but so be it. I don’t care. The good news is I won’t ever need a ride from them in the future, there will be so many more Teslas, including my personal car.
People say we should support all autonomy. Well, this company clearly doesn’t and is obviously threatened by Tesla, but instead of welcoming them they’re attacking them.
The reason is their personal attacks on Tesla. This is not the first time they have openly criticized them, going so far as to say their approach is unsafe and cannot work and “can’t see at night”. From CEO to top engineers “you have to be able to see at night” we’ve heard it all.
In the thread today they blatantly called Tesla a fraud, even though they are far too afraid to mention them by name.
They of course start with:
“Multimodal sensors are indispensable. By combining inputs from cameras, lidar, and radar, the Waymo Driver creates a rich, redundant world view that no single sensor can replicate.”
“No single sensor can replicate…” The first direct attack against Tesla. Funny enough, Tesla has already proven this wrong with Robotaxi operating safely. As Ashok has said many times, AI is not a sensor suite problem; it’s an AI problem.
“Simply improving a driver assistance system for full autonomy is a FALSE summit”
This directly refers to Tesla FSD supervised and how Tesla has used this 13B miles of data to create real-world AI and Robotaxi.
“You can’t build trust with a black box. AI is powerful, but it isn’t magic. Pure end-to-end architectures risk black box failures where decision-making is hard to understand.”
This again directly attacks Tesla, which uses a pure end-to-end approach. Waymo claims this “risks” failures where decisions are hard to understand. Actually quite hilarious—V14 stops for school buses, yet why is Waymo investigated by NHTSA for blowing past school buses with stop signs out? 🤔
What will they say when Tesla has 10x their fleet, 100x? I can’t wait for Tesla to prove the doubters wrong and mop the floor with them.
I still support the push for all autonomy, but I don’t support companies attacking Tesla and fear-mongering with public posts claiming it is unsafe.
Redline Reviews is a car review channel with 1.1M YouTube subscribers, and they just tried @Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) for the first time ever while testing the Model Y L.
"My mind is blown right now. This is the future. I have always said GM's Super Cruise was the absolute best, but this..... I'm just so shocked right now; It just backed up enough to let the truck by without hitting the BMW behind us, now we're back in drive. That's pretty impressive."

Expose them all. This is the leader of the trans cult in CA schools.
Her name is Kathie Moehlig.
Cult: a group with extreme beliefs, often focused on a single leader, that uses manipulation and high-pressure tactics to control members.
Last night I addressed the Poway Unified school board about the shocking number of trans-identified kids in Poway schools (1 in 20).
Here are all the receipts about Kathie Moehlig, leader of TransFamily Support Services, she not only “trained” (indoctrinated) hundreds of Poway principals and coaches last November, but she trains thousands of teachers and school counselors across CA.
All of this paid for by taxpayers.
Not trying to beat a dead horse.
R2 range is a problem. Especially when it’s nowhere near EPA stated. The effective useful daily range in good conditions is just 150 miles when going from 20% to 80%.
But we definitely should check in with With expert @ZacksJerryRig (the best friend the Chinese Auto ever had) who regularly states that Tesla’s way under performs their EPA range and everyone else does a better job.
So Zack, what is your conclusion here?
You’re a gigantic fan of Rivian.
Why is Rivian lying?
@RJScaringe lied and people got stranded?
Will that be your new montra?
We will standby for your full evaluation as all of these results are the opposite of everything you claim every day. Your expert testimony should clear all of this up immediately.
We now give you the floor to deliver your response.
