For non-Teslas using Superchargers, live availability is now in Google Maps. The next step for navigation providers is to go beyond live availability and also show real-time wait time, forecasted availability, and dynamically re-route customers based on forecasts. This is something Tesla Trip Planner has been doing for years. @TeslaCharging launched live availability in 2017, and it was later adopted in the "Open Charge Point Interface" standard. We support adding forecasted availability, when sharing traffic reciprocally, as part of this standard next.
Charging infrastructure should be both high utilization (for low prices) and available (for happy customers). This is why we’re always refining Tesla Trip Planner to efficiently balance demand across Superchargers. A good analogy: Tesla Trip Planner is like an air traffic controller, knowing where planes are, their intentions, and assigning them to airports and runways. Trip Planner knows where customers are routing, creates Supercharger usage forecasts, and gets everyone to their destination the fastest. It fully leverages existing infrastructure, which is especially important on busy travel days. Without this, we’d see avoidable congestion (as seen firsthand at U.S. airports now!), and an inefficient use of charging infrastructure CapEx.
Hence, reciprocal traffic sharing is key as more navigation providers support EV drivers. Not knowing incoming demand is like air traffic control not knowing what planes are inbound. We’re excited to work with navigation providers on getting this right for EV drivers, and going beyond live availability.
Why do I say that X is the best learning system the world has ever invented?
This is a very technical paper on how world models, er VLAs, make robots a lot smarter.
Click the Grok button. And ask:
“Hey Grok, can you explain why this is important like if I was a nine year old?”
Its answer:
Imagine you're playing with a robot toy that can grab blocks or draw pictures, but it keeps dropping stuff because it doesn't know how to use its "hands" right. Bummer, right?
Now, picture this super cool science trick called VITRA.
It's like giving the robot a magic TV that shows a million videos of real people doing fun, tricky things with their hands—like tying shoelaces, picking up a slippery banana, or building a Lego tower—without anyone telling them exactly what to do.
The robot watches super closely (from the person's own eyes' view!) and learns all the wiggly finger moves and what to say about them, like "Hey, that's how you gently pick up the toy without squishing it!"
Why is this awesome? Because now the robot gets really good at new tricks it hasn't seen before, just by watching a little more.
It can even try them out in the real world after practicing on a tiny bit of robot homework.
Soon, robots could help with your chores (like folding laundry without messing it up) or play games with you way better.
It's like teaching a puppy new commands by showing videos instead of yelling—easier, faster, and way more fun!
This could make the world full of helpful robot buddies who learn like kids do. Cool, huh?
Thanks Grok!
This is China.🇨🇳
China is proof that socialism works.
As for Cuba, Venezuala and other examples, they may have worked if the US government hadn't spent TRILLIONS of dollars to prevent their success.

🚨THE IPHONE MOMENT TIMES TEN IS ALREADY WALKING
People comparing Optimus to smartphones fundamentally misunderstand the scale of transformation approaching.
The iPhone connected us globally; Optimus liberates us from drudgery entirely.
Tesla's humanoid companion went from stumbling prototype to threading needles and serving drinks in eighteen months.
This acceleration isn't linear; it's exponential.
When Optimus hits markets, every limitation on human potential evaporates.
Elderly gain tireless companions ensuring dignity and independence.
Parents receive round-the-clock assistance without sacrificing careers.
Artists, freed from survival labor, create without constraint.
This isn't automation; it's augmentation.
Optimus becomes humanity's universal teammate, handling physical tasks while we pursue meaning, connection, and innovation.
Elon promising twenty thousand dollar production costs means universal access within years, not decades.
The cultural shift surpasses the iPhone because Optimus doesn't just enhance communication; it multiplies human capability itself.
Every person gains a tireless partner dedicated to their flourishing.
We're not preparing for this because our brains cannot process liberation this complete.

Never forget - Massachusetts deployed the National Guard when 50+ illegal aliens were found on Martha’s Vineyard.
The rest of America got over 10 million under Biden, so why can’t we have the same treatment?
If it’s good enough for Democrat elites, it’s good enough for regular Americans.
This man came to America for one reason: to turn America into an Islamic theocracy.
I say NO to Sharia law—which is why I’ve presented an argument to have Mamdani sent back to Uganda based on information he clearly withheld.
I’m fighting to take our country back. DOJ must investigate.
