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.”

The NHTSA has just officially announced that the 2026 @Tesla Model Y is the first vehicle model to pass the agency’s new advanced driver assistance system tests.
2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles, manufactured on or after Nov. 12, 2025, successfully met the new criteria for four newly integrated advanced safety tests:
• Pedestrian automatic emergency braking
• Lane keeping assistance
• Blind spot warning
• Blind spot intervention
“Today’s announcement marks a significant step forward in our efforts to provide consumers with the most comprehensive safety ratings ever,” said NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison. “By successfully passing these new tests, the 2026 Tesla Model Y demonstrates the lifesaving potential of driver assistance technologies and sets a high bar for the industry. We hope to see many more manufacturers develop vehicles that can meet these requirements.”
Hey @elonmusk, I really hope you see this message and look into it.
I think every 2024 Foundation Series Cybertruck and all Cybertrucks after should get the 7 year / 70,000 mile high priced propulsion related warranty retroactively applied.
A lot of early Foundation Series owners had their trucks plagued with issues. Many of us still believe in the future of the truck and we're holding on to ours and encouraging others to buy.
Early FS owners didn't get free Supercharging like later FS owners did. And now with this extended warranty for 2026 Cybertrucks and newer, that's why you're seeing comments about early owners feeling like they got screwed. No customer should ever feel like that after a purchase.
I personally had 2 Cybertrucks with PCS and other major failures that made the vehicle completely inoperable. I still kept my truck because it's the best truck ever made and Tesla has fixed the reliability issues on newer models.
Other automakers frequently extend warranty coverage retroactively through Warranty Extension Programs or Special Coverage when widespread issues come up. Tesla should do the same.
This would show future customers that Tesla stands behind every single product they sell, no matter what.
The Tesla I've come to know has always taken care of its customers. I truly hope you do right by early Cybertruck owners too.

Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.
