@Boenau Seniors are discovering that Tesla’s Full Self Driving is the solution to maintaining independence, safely and comfortably.

Total game changer.

FSD drives me everywhere, day or night, city, highway, country roads. So relaxing and safe.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

@ronniebobbymike @SawyerMerritt It’s called a windshield wiper. The very one you asked why it existed. And I answered

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@ronniebobbymike @SawyerMerritt There is.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@ronniebobbymike @SawyerMerritt So the camera in the top of the windshield can see?

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@Dabucker @SawyerMerritt There’s a camera behind the rear view mirror.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@FabbrisHair2 @nicksortor Lighten up, maybe?

Many of us fly regularly for proficiency. Is that a waste of fuel?

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@niccruzpatane Please ramp up the number of cars. Symbolic is nice but not real.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@BeardedTesla My wife has gone from “turn that off and just drive it yourself” to “can I have the Tesla today” in just 3 years.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

Tesla has its best q2 deliveries ever. FSD is selling cars.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2, up 25% YoY. Wall Street was expecting 406,000. Total Q2 production was 451,758

Tesla also says that they deployed 13.5 GWh of energy storage in Q2 2026.

@austina0315 @echo5juliet @Tesla Tesla now stores the last 24 hours of driving automatically. You can press the camera icon on screen to save a 10 minute clip (8 before and 2 after).

@wholemars Thoughts and prayers for you

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@wholemars Ouch

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@forgotv @GrindeOptions 8.9 million drivers aren’t putting their personal cars into a robo fleet.

Operating costs (electricity, cleaning, tires) is half as much for a robotaxi and up front cost just over half as much. Saving 5 cents per mile x lifetime 300,000 mile lifetime is huge.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@forgotv @GrindeOptions I’m guessing you haven’t done any math on this. It’s low cost up front and super low operating costs make a ton of sense compared to a Y or 3.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@GrindeOptions I’d start with 5

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@fivecentman @wholemars Not even close to enough to run the fridge. But that’s a great use case for a larger setup.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@SenJohnKennedy So when are you going to do more than talk? Find 4 others and let’s get Thune out of the way. It’s not that hard. Unless you really don’t want to and are just talk.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@japan_nobunaga Where I live it’s rare to see open carry. But a ton of people conceal carry.

[Ron Benfield @Ron_Benfield]

@japan_nobunaga Yes, that is how goodbyes work.

Yo end a polite phone call seems to require at least 6 back and forths as well. Any less would be rude.
