Following future rollout of FSD V14 Lite for HW3 vehicles in the US, we plan on expanding V14 Lite to additional international markets.

This update ensures that HW3 vehicle owners will continue to benefit from ongoing software updates.

Since international rollout is subject to several factors (completion of technical verification, regional adaptation & relevant regulatory approvals), we can't provide definitive dates at the moment, but will provide updates on a rolling basis

🇨🇳 TESLA MODEL Y FALLS OFF 800-METER CLIFF IN CHINA... DRIVER WALKS AWAY

This is absolutely insane.

A Tesla Model Y plunged off an approximately 800-meter cliff in China, tumbling down a mountainside.

The vehicle was completely destroyed, windows shattered, body mangled beyond recognition.

But the A- and B-pillars held.

The passenger cabin didn't collapse.

The battery didn't ignite.

The driver suffered only minor injuries.

Rescue crews had to dismantle the wreckage to recover the vehicle.

Local reports are calling it a "miracle of survival."

This is what happens when a car is engineered with safety as a priority, not an afterthought.

Tesla's rigid structural design and low center of gravity from the battery placement aren't just marketing points.

They're the reason this driver is alive.

800 meters is over 2,600 feet.

That's not a fender bender.

That's falling off a mountain.

Most vehicles would have become a coffin.

The Model Y became a survival pod.

2007A 36-year-old Elon Musk sits down for a quiet PBS interview and says, almost casually:

“The most important thing we can do for the future of consciousness is to become a multi-planetary species… Everything else pales in comparison.”

He then predicts, with zero hype:

•Fully reusable rockets that land like airplanes
•Electric cars that outperform gasoline in every way and go mass-market
•Solar + batteries becoming the cheapest energy on Earth
•Humans on Mars and a self-sustaining city there

Jeff Bezos was already the richest man on Earth in 2007.
He started Blue Origin in 2000 with the exact same “multi-planetary” dream.

18+ years later:
Blue Origin has flown exactly zero orbital missions. New Glenn still hasn’t launched. No reusable booster has ever landed. No Mars plan with dates.

Elon?
•Falcon 9 boosters have landed 400+ times
•Starship (bigger than anything ever built) is flying
•Tesla sells 2 million cars a year and is worth more than the rest of the car industry combined
•Solar + batteries are now the cheapest electricity source in history
•First uncrewed Starships to Mars: 2026–2028. Crewed: late 2020s/early 2030s — exactly the timeline he gave in 2007
The vision never wavered. Not once.

The enthusiasm is the same calm, burning conviction you hear in that 2007 clip today.

The determination? He went personally bankrupt in 2008 keeping SpaceX and Tesla alive with his last dollars.

Almost 20 years later, every single “crazy” prediction from that interview is either already reality or on schedule.

This is what relentless execution looks like.

Watch the 2007 interview (25 minutes that aged like fine wine):

He didn’t just dream about the future.

He scheduled it. And showed up.

VP of Tesla Vehicle Engineering @larsmoravy sat down with Car and Driver and discussed how Tesla was able to engineer 400 pounds out of the new Model X over the years:

He jokingly incentivizes engineers with a case of beer for every kilogram saved (a lot of beer was bought for this project lol).

• Rear motor switched from induction to permanent-magnet and optimized half-shafts saved ~100 lbs
• Battery pack redesign (denser cells, vertical modules, ~300 fewer cells, structural tweaks) saved 90 lbs, though capacity remained unchanged.
• Interior included new upgraded parts, new manufacturing processes, airbag integration into headliner fabric, and new seat configurations added an extra 80 lbs of savings.
• High-voltage wiring optimization, and switch from copper to aluminum saved 44 lbs.
• New simplified cooling system saved 30 pounds.
• Larger front/rear megacastings (8 pieces to 4): >20 lb saved and 10% higher torsional stiffness.
• New Lithium-ion 12-V battery saved 14 lbs.
• Front/rear suspension tweaks saved 10 lbs.
• Thinner plastic fascias saved 10 lbs.
• New cast refrigerant manifold saved 3lbs.

😮 @Channel10AU Just said Tesla has worlds safest car as a Meteorite hits a Model Y in Australia ☄️🇦🇺

“Andrew drives a Tesla and that night he wasn’t driving, the car was and that night, 110km an hour down the freeway and when the window exploded.
The car drove on nice and steady.
Tesla, the world’s safety car in a meteor shower.

To push self-driving into situations wilder than reality, we built a neural network world simulator that can create entirely synthetic worlds for the Tesla to drive in.

Inside look into our photons in–actions out AI system

Our fleet learns 500 years of real-world driving every day, allowing FSD to generalize to rare, complex edge cases

The AI & training systems that drive @Robotaxi also teach @Tesla_Optimus how to move

"I don't want to downplay the difficulty, but it's an incredibly difficult thing, especially to create a hand that is as dexterous and capable as the human hand, which is incredible. The human hand is an incredible thing. The more you study the human hand, the more incredible you realize it is, and why you need four fingers and a thumb, why the fingers have certain degrees of freedom, why the various muscles are of different strengths, and fingers are of different lengths. It turns out that those are all there for a reason."

Autopilot & FSD Supervised safety data

In Q3 2025, we recorded 1 crash for every 6.36 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology

By comparison, the most recent data available from NHTSA & FHWA (from 2023) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 702,000 miles

I just got back from over 3 hours of driving to and around Boston using @Tesla FSD V14.1.3. No interventions. It was great. V14 is ready to be released wide in my opinion.

It feels noticeably smoother and more comfortable in everyday driving compared to 14.1.2. That's especially impressive since I tested 14.1.3 in Boston at night, while V14.1.2 was only tested in southern New Hampshire (less challenging).

I only noticed one minor hesitation at a stoplight and one issue during a curbside drop-off at the start of this video, where it circled the block once before pulling over in the correct area, but both were not a big deal. I had no safety issues tonight. There was also an interesting moment in the video where I accidentally set the curbside drop-off area in a dead end street. FSD took a little while figuring out how to back out, but it eventually did it without my help.

If you'd like to watch the 4K version of this video on YouTube, I've linked that in the thread below.

The best feature of FSD 14.1.2 Mad Max is its reaction time and object detection.

In this video, FSD recognizes a steam pole despite a car in front, immediately decides to change lanes despite a van in the other lane, calculates the space perfectly, and proceeds safely. 🤯 @hletes

SpaceX has launched more since the first Falcon 1 in 2006 than the rest of the US (including NASA) has since 1997.

Starship is so ambitious that it’s easy to forget how much Falcon 9 has achieved. 130+ launches this year alone.

For those who are still skeptical of using cameras + neural nets to drive the car, this video is the antithesis.

This is the path to a Kardashev Type II civilization that harnesses most of the power of our Sun, which is more than a billion times more energy than everything else on Earth combined
