Left a Supercharger after 1am and FSD was merging onto I-95 in near-total darkness when it abruptly decelerated and swerved to avoid a man walking onto the freeway. Pitch black to the human eye. A fatigued driver racing home could’ve easily hit him.

This is what the cameras saw. Looks light. I assure you, it was not. 😬

FSD may have saved this man’s life.

Insane POV of the next-gen Tesla Roadster doing a kickflip, going up the ramp and 0-60 mph test.

That shot of the rear rocket thrusters in the first clip looks awesome.

Maye is an inspiration.

During tough moments I think about the resilience she’s shown and realize she’s encountered 100x the difficultly I’ve faced and she made it through with grace! It gives me resolve.

She’s raised 3 children who’ve given such wondrous gifts to the world, so have tried to learn from her mothering instincts as well.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a beacon of resilience to draw inspiration from (or really anyone, it’s an amazing read!)

Congrats on today and thank you for being such an incredible Ouma to your grandkids and inspiration!

The new Automatic Collision Evasion feature worked flawlessly! FSD reengaged itself just as I was about to hit a curb.

Kudos @teslasi team! 👏

There will never be another Elon Musk.

Love him or hate him, the man has changed technology, space travel, communication, transportation, and the way people think about what’s possible.

Very few people in history have pushed humanity forward on that many fronts at once.

The dude is one of a kind!
