@teslaplaidtokde I am hovering over the buy button on the 7-seat because I need a bigger car and have been losing patience.
How long do I need to wait still?

[Arne Van Acker @arnevanacker]

@AndrThie @gigafactories Can some of these 1200 vehicles per week starting in July please be Model Y L? I seriously cannot fit my family in my original model Y anymore, let alone take a road trip with FSD.

[Arne Van Acker @arnevanacker]

@karrisaarinen @linear Been looking for something to do this evening before we switched to Linear.
Would love to try it: ‘brightenergy’

[Arne Van Acker @arnevanacker]

When can we finally order Model Y L or other alternative for a true family car in Europe?
Fitting 3 car seats in my model Y is not possible which makes travelling with 2 toddlers and a 2-month old simply not doable.
I’ve been waiting for model Y L for months now and getting desperate.

Tesla has been working hard toward shipping Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Europe for over 12 months now. We have given FSD demos to regulators of almost every EU country. We have requested early access, pilot release programs or exemptions where possible.

We have developed & shared detailed safety evidence for FSD, now public in our latest Safety Report. And we have driven over 1 million kilometers safely on EU roads across 17 different countries (internal testing). 

Our main path to success is partnering with the Dutch approval authority RDW to gain exemption for the feature. This involves proving compliance with existing regulations (UN-R-171 DCAS) + filing an exemption (EU Article 39) for yet-to-be-regulated behaviors like Level 2 systems off-highway, system-initiated lane changes with hands-off the wheel etc. 

Some of these regulations are outdated and rules-based, which makes FSD illegal in its current form. Changing FSD to be compliant with these rules would make it unsafe and unusable in many cases. While we have changed FSD to be maximally compliant where it is logical and reasonable, we won't sacrifice the safety of a proven system or materially deteriorate customer usability. 

As a result, we are gathering evidence to get exemptions on a specific rule-by-rule basis. Unfortunately, the real world fleet-proven safety wins alone are considered insufficient. 

Currently, RDW has committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026. Please contact them via link below to express your excitement & thank them for making this happen as soon as possible. Upon NL National approval, other EU countries can immediately recognize the exemption and also allow rollout within their country. Then we will bring it to a TCMV vote for official EU-wide approval. 

We're excited to bring FSD to our owners in Europe soon!

HOLY SHIT! They landed the booster. Huge congratulations to Blue Origin and everyone who worked their asses off to make this happen.

[Arne Van Acker @arnevanacker]

I really wish you would open up the Wall Connector so that a 3rd party EMS can match charging speeds to solar production.
The lack of this functionality is the only reason why I will be buying another brand of charger, even though I’d really prefer the integrated Tesla experience.

[Jon Edwards @edwards345]

Congrats @blueorigin! Orbit on the first try is not easy. Well done. 👏

[Arne Van Acker @arnevanacker]

“What’s our problem” by @waitbutwhy is well worth reading (listening to).
I find the vertical axis to be a great way to think about politics, our communities and society as a whole.
Definitely helps me realise when I spend time defending a golem instead of supporting a genie.

Met https://t.co/bYQy3XaaxK ondersteunen we aannemers en ontwikkelaars die hun werven willen elektrificeren.
Planning, monitoring, sturing en indien nodig een batterijsysteem voor extra vermogen.

[Guus Luppens @LuppensG]

Gek hoe er in BE nog steeds de vraag niet gesteld wordt waarom het (gemakshalve?) nodig is om CO2, NOx, roet en fijnstof brakende dieselgeneratoren te gebruiken op bouwwerven in onze dorpskernen.

@ElektrischV @Osse57 @KVoorspools Als ik me niet vergis moet je een gratis studie tot 25kVA laten uitvoeren door Fluvius en ben je pas vanaf 30kVA verplicht om een netontkoppelbord te plaatsen.
Dus ruim over de 10kVA is zeker doenbaar!

@elonmusk No.

And about taxing unrealised gains, does it also work the other way around? Will they give tax credits for unrealised losses then?
After which arbitrary amount of time will unrealised gains be taxed?

Tax actual profits, use of natural resources and inheritances.

Ik vraag #qvax om mijn wachtwoord te resetten en krijg nu elke 3 minuten een mail met link om dat te doen.
Enige probleem: geen enkele van de ondertussen meer dan 10 links werken.

Deze week schreef ik voor @trends_be over de start-up Bright Energy.
Broers @acker_sam en @arnevanacker en hun zus Lisse willen de vervuilende dieselgenerator op bouwwerven vervangen door een groene batterij die op artificiële intelligentie werkt.

Ik was te gast bij de Planet B show podcast waar ik het verhaal van Bright Energy mocht vertellen.
Bedankt @Tibbe_V voor de uitnodiging.
