Some things are worth taking a few days to verify properly. This is one of them...

I'm proud to announce that I have successfully driven through all 48 contiguous states plus DC in my 2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper on FSD 14.3.2. And I did it solo. Actually, let's be accurate. I rode. FSD drove.

🗓️ May 20-29, 2026.
🗺️ 7,241 official miles. 9 days, 21 hours, 50 minutes.
⚡ Not a single gallon of gas. Not a single steering input. FSD drove every mile.
💵 Total cost: $901 in Supercharger fees. Same trip in a comparable gas SUV: ~$1,303.

The moment that defined the trip: the tri-state corner of MT/WY/SD, the most remote stretch of the drive from a Supercharger standpoint. I could have taken a safer route but I wanted to get there on a single charge. I knew the risk. Turned off the AC, sweated through 95°F inside the cabin, arrived at 2%. Cost me a little backtracking to officially enter Wyoming. Worth every mile. 🎯

Call it a Gentleman's Cannonball Run. I pushed hard every single day, but with rules. Sleep every night. No tickets. No driving tired. Highway speeds. Supervising an autonomous system while exhausted is reckless. I know a little something about that. Those aren't arbitrary rules, safety is my first priority. I'm an airline pilot. ✈️

Based on everything I've been able to find, this trip may represent three records worth noting:

🏆 First FSD drive through all 48 contiguous states plus DC. Solo.
🏆 Most US jurisdictions covered in a single FSD trip (49)
🏆 Possibly first and fastest EV drive through all 48 states plus DC

All claims subject to verification. If anyone has done this before, I genuinely want to know. My data is fully logged and available.

@ScottTArcher Thanks, Scott. I have learned to have Grace. Mostly for myself.

Losing your child is devastating, as I can confirm. Losing them to suicide is particularly soul crushing.

To my followers: I'll match your individual donations to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Give if you can. Thanks.

A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does.

There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love.

Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.

@JoshWest247 Except for the convertible, we more or less have all of these, right??

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@DavidMoss I'll race you to the North Pole...zero interventions 😎

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@JeffReineke I'm sorry, Jeff. I'll be thinking about you and your family. Thank you for telling us. 🫂

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@hotsauced007 I'm glad you have each other. You're stronger together.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@TeslaBoomerMama @farzyness Good to hear more voices of reason. And calm.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@RetiredYoungNW Same. I'm actually pretty happy with T-Mobile (pricing, service, etc) but can't wait for what SpaceX brings us.

The future looks great.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@dallastesla You look fetching

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@koby_pierce Great work, Koby! You put a lot of time in on this.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@teslaownersSV I'm truly sorry.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@tesla is going to be fine. @spacex and yes, Texas, is going to be fine.

There may be some hiccups and hearings in the near future, but there are over 150,000 employees working on some amazing shit that will continue to make the future even brighter.

Tomorrow looks amazing.

Tesla and SpaceX have prospered under both Republican and Democratic Presidencies.

They have some very bright years ahead of them. Their success is not dependent on one party being in power.

Love it or hate it, this is beautiful American Democracy at work.

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@DavidMoss 100% It's why I waited to buy my first one. 13 was just out to early adopters and getting really good reviews. If the cybertruck had FSD at that time, I probably would have bought one. Picked up a new '24 MX w/12.9 instead. Zero regerts 😎

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@IowaTesla 2025 Model X for 11 Glorious months 😐...
Before that, E46 330Ci Convertible

@Muskstaycalm Happy Birthday, Mark!

[JoeAnderson @JoeAnderson]

@TenaciousTek @DavidMoss @drewinnovations Same for me.
