Supervised FSD is getting so good that the hardest part of the drive is remembering you’re supposed to supervise.
The real irony is Tesla could give it away with every car, sell every car they make, dominate the market overnight, and then charge for unsupervised autonomy when the software is ready.
@wholemars Tesla just made it clear they want you to pay more for safety. They removed basic Autopilot lane-centering. They’re charging extra for what used to be standard safety tech.
@elonmusk Honest ask. What are the measurable claims? When will AI4 hits unsupervised level and is how many times safer than a human, say it plainly. This feature is a few months of work for most people.
@elonmusk I want voice to text so I can dictate, edit the prompt, or add more voice before submitting my prompt. That gives me time to shape it and get better results.
@DirtyTesLa Is it just me, or does it feel like more and more of Tesla’s new product ramps keep getting pushed into late 2026—which just so happens to line up with the AI5 timeline?
When Tesla put a third row in the Model Y, they had to change up the rear structure. The crumple zone is smaller now, but they make up for it with reinforced steel behind the bumper and the strength of the battery pack and rear axle. Basically, you lose some crush space but gain rigidity.
@wholemars Do you believe that fsd adoption as long as it's an additional charge will be similar to EV adoption in the USA? Do you think the masses will pay extra for it?
@SawyerMerritt Road tripping in a Model Y?
80% charge ≈ 200mi at 75mph with a light headwind and full load.
That’s a stop every 2 1/2 hours for 25 mins.
On a 600mi trip, that’s over 80+ mins of charging time.
That’s friction.
@RobinhoodApp Hey @RobinhoodApp, you claim Transparency is a core value, yet you removed the total % change for options on the watchlist—now we only see daily change. That really doesn’t align.
But doesn’t the rise of technologies like Optimus and other humanoid robotics threaten to disrupt China’s manufacturing advantage over the next decade? If automation accelerates at the pace many expect, especially in the U.S., we could end up bringing jobs back temporarily—only to see them displaced again as machines take over.
That raises some questions about our long-term strategy. Are we just shifting people back into roles that will soon become obsolete? And if so, are we prepared to support that transition with education, training, and new opportunities?
If we’re thinking big picture, the goal shouldn’t just be reclaiming jobs—it should be future-proofing our economy and workforce for the world we’re heading into, not the one we’re trying to revive.
@larsmoravy I’d love to see a Model l Y range option closer to 420 miles, particularly because cold weather significantly reduces real-world range. Hitting that mark would make winter road trips much more reliable and stress-free. Also a power frunk! Thanks!
Calling Social Security and Medicaid "Entitlements" is a convenient spin.
It ignores the fact that workers fund these programs every single paycheck.
That kind of language isn’t about facts—it’s about control and narrative.
These aren’t handouts—they’re deferred compensation, and the wording should respect that.
@elonmusk Competition is great—but only if everyone plays by the same rules. Other schools need to accept students of all abilities, including those with special needs, and support their growth. Right now, many of these schools aren’t held to the same standards.
@Tslachan Considering China's regulatory landscape, will the government ever permit a foreign company—one that isn't domestically grown or fully controlled by the CCP—to operate autonomous vehicles on Chinese roads?
