I love soccer, cocktails, dance music, and the Internet. Currently labeling Atlanta potholes for #FSDBeta which you can see here

Hey fellow internet traveler 👋

How many of your own thoughts have you had today?

I don't mean reactions

I mean unprovoked thoughts during a period of silence

Your health, social circle, and career depend on you listening to your thoughts

But first you have to be in silence

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

“Social media is a cancer on our society right now. I would encourage people to log off. Turn off. Hug a family member. Touch grass.”

-Utah Governor Spencer Cox

@future_yas I chuckled when that tweet was released. A company that I've never heard of is above them in deployed robotaxis?

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@future_yas I was in San Francisco yesterday, and saw “high service demand” without any way to book all day. Took 3 different Waymos which drove better than any HW4 car I’ve experienced, and came within 4 minutes. Tesla may need more than that telescope

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@mattpocockuk Surprised they released 4.7 at all. We never switched to use it since it seems to be a regression in every useful case

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@future_yas Perfect way to phrase it.

"optimistic about the robotaxi future but [acknowledging] the current reality" is where I've been since ~2022. Exhausting to keep pulling people out of the clouds

@PJWheeler83 @jff024 @wholemars @TeslaLisa @DirtyTesLa @corey_aronson @greentheonly @chuckcook Would you like to buy my shoes? Next year they will walk you from wherever you are to wherever you want to be. Door to door. All without intervention. This tech will be worth up to $100k one day; you can lease these shoes to others when stationary. For $10k, you can own them now

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@Lrawsignal Maybe we should sell full coupon capability

it will be feature complete at the end of next year

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@mattpocockuk That would indeed be less masochistic

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@Lrawsignal People gotta' have their coupons

@Lrawsignal When I worked at Cricket Wireless, we released around 5am on Sunday. I thought that was brutal.

Respect, fam

@Lrawsignal @future_yas @ValueAnalyst1 @bellwoodcoffee Best part about this thread is that the analyst of value eventually woke up. I'm waiting on a friend in ATL who has a HW4 car to do the same.

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@future_yas We share this gem haha https://t.co/KAX9v1vFfN

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@Lrawsignal @future_yas I will happily ship you two, @chuckcook and @ValueAnalyst1 @bellwoodcoffee beans of your choice if I can do this drive with zero interventions on Level 3 (no need for hands on the wheel unless intervention necessary). #FSDBeta https://t.co/GPA56AV7mK

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@future_yas It's always bizarre to me seeing these tweets after so much time has passed. I have one of my own. https://t.co/K4JAVpXZzv

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@jff024 @787_Tahoe I’m still genuinely curious if I’ll be able to summon a robotaxi from Waymo or Cruise in ATL before Tesla’s product resembles anything close to theirs lol

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@Lrawsignal It is such a bizarre time to be in this field

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@havetorunalot @CernBasher @JoeTegtmeyer They have incrementally improved FSD by rewriting the system 5+ times now. We're still waiting⌚️

[Sam Reaves @SamReaves]

@Lrawsignal I see you peekin' through those hands
