Larry, a 98-year-old, just bought a new @Tesla Model Y, and he uses FSD (Supervised) to drive him everywhere. His first car was a 1931 Ford Model A haha. He uses Grok to navigate.
"It has no problems. In fact, the other day FSD stopped when a chipmunk was crossing the road."

With @Cybertruck, we introduced & scaled many automotive firsts
48V architecture: 4x lower current that enables thinner, lighter wiring
True Steer-by-Wire with no mechanical steering link, enabling variable steering response
Combined with rear-wheel steering, this also brought coordinated front + rear steering for greater low speed maneuverability & high speed stability
Structural stainless-steel exoskeleton: allows exterior panels to carry structural loads, resulting in far higher torsional stiffness
Full-hard stainless air bending: forms ultra-hard exterior panels without damaging the visible surface
Etherloop: gigabit vehicle network that eliminates ~70% of cross-vehicle wiring
For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility
“I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.
Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.
Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me.
It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.
Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.”
