@Tesla @SawyerMerritt patiently awaiting 14.3…. No, not! Hurry up! I mean hurry please. @heydave7 @ChuckCook @EmmetPeppers @robmaurer @elonmusk @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @FSDSoCal

Hey @Tesla @elonmusk, loving FSD on my 2026 Model Y, but over Thanksgiving, I was trailing my brother-in-law down bumpy dirt roads to his bro’s new spot in the boonies. A “follow mode” for FSD to tag along behind another car would be epic for those off-grid adventures. What do you think? @SawyerMerritt #TeslaFSD #FSDSuggestions 🚗💨

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

If @CharlesSchwab doesn’t vote for Elon Musk’s 2025 CEO Performance Award plan, I’ll move all my assets to another brokerage. My followers, many of whom also hold assets with Schwab and collectively own at least hundreds of millions in $TSLA, may do the same.

I can’t in good conscience stay with a brokerage that votes against this CEO Performance Award plan that is in my view clearly in shareholders’ best interests. I join @jasondebolt in saying that voting against the recommendations of a board that has delivered extraordinary returns is out of step with retail investors, Tesla employees, and the leadership we invested in to support.

We are ready to moves our shares. I hope @CharlesSchwab makes the right call here.

“Hey @elonmusk, my 90yo mother-in-law loves her grocery runs but needs help getting around. When will Tesla’s FSD let me send my car to pick her up, grab groceries, and bring her home safely? Autonomy could change lives for seniors! 🚗🛒 #Tesla #FSD

Florida's Reptile Regulation Overreach: A Personal Account

Living in Florida, known for its laissez-faire approach to governance, I've always embraced the state's reputation for minimal government interference. However, recent actions by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regarding reptiles of concern permits have left me and many others in the reptile community bewildered and frustrated.

For over 40 years, I've responsibly kept reptiles, ensuring they're well-cared for, insured when necessary, and housed in environments that meet or exceed state guidelines. My passion for these creatures has always been matched by my commitment to their welfare and public safety. Yet, the FWC's decision to revoke nearly all permits for reptiles of concern feels like an overreach, starkly contrasting with Florida's supposed ethos of less regulation.

The argument for these stringent regulations often revolves around public safety and environmental concerns, which I understand. However, the implementation seems punitive rather than protective. Here's why:

Responsible Ownership:Many of us have invested significant resources into ensuring our reptiles are not a risk to the community or the environment. We've built secure enclosures, undergone training, and even insured our animals against escape or harm.

Economic Impact:This move affects not just hobbyists but small businesses. Reptile enthusiasts contribute to the economy through breeding, sales, and educational programs. The sudden revocation of permits could lead to job losses and economic downturns in niche markets.

Community Reaction: The reptile community in Florida is tight-knit. We share knowledge, resources, and often help each other in emergencies. This decision has sown discord, with many feeling unfairly targeted.

The sentiment among many is that this move by the FWC doesn't align with Florida's spirit of freedom and personal responsibility. It feels like a one-size-fits-all approach to a complex issue, ignoring the track record of responsible keepers. If Florida is truly about less regulation, then perhaps the focus should shift towards education, stricter enforcement against actual negligence, and innovative solutions like mandatory insurance for high-risk species, rather than stripping away permits from those who've demonstrated they can handle the responsibility.

This isn't just about losing a hobby; it's about the principle of government overreach in a state that prides itself on individual freedoms. Let's hope for a dialogue that respects both the wildlife and the rights of responsible owners.

@nerdalator @TslaGroupie So my current home in miami is worth a lot. I could literally sell it and buy several homes back home. So should I not count it according to your ideology? I do agree with your general statement.

🐍 Hey there, snake enthusiasts! 🐍 Are you considering adding a slithery friend to your household? Here's a quick guide to get you started on the fascinating journey of snake keeping:

**1. Research, Research, Research!**
- **Species Selection:** Not all snakes are created equal! From the docile Ball Python to the active Corn Snake, pick a species that matches your lifestyle and experience level.

**2. Setup Their Home:**
- **Enclosure:** Ensure it's secure, escape-proof, and appropriately sized. Think of it as a cozy apartment for your snake.
- **Heating:** Snakes need a warm environment. Use heat mats or lamps to maintain a temperature gradient.
- **Hiding Spots:** Snakes love privacy. Provide at least two hide boxes.

**3. Feeding Time:**
- **Diet:** Most pet snakes eat rodents. Always feed pre-killed to avoid injury.
- **Schedule:** Young snakes might eat weekly, while adults might only need a meal every few weeks.

**4. Health Checks:**
- **Regular Vet Visits:** Find a vet experienced with reptiles for check-ups.
- **Shedding:** Monitor shedding cycles. Problems here can indicate health issues.

**5. Handling:**
- **Gentle Interaction:** Start with short handling sessions, gradually increasing as your snake gets used to you.
- **Safety First:** Always support their body and never handle right after feeding.

**Interactive Question:** 🐍 What type of snake are you most interested in keeping? Let's chat about why you chose that species and any concerns you might have!

🐍 **Meet the Monarch of Snakes!** 🐍

Holding a 15-foot King Cobra, and let me tell you, it's not just about the length!

- **Size & Majesty**: This beast can lift up to a third of its body off the ground, literally standing eye-to-eye with an adult. Imagine that kind of presence!

- **Intelligence & Behavior**: King Cobras are often dubbed the most intelligent snakes. They don't just slither; they think. Known for unique behaviors like nest building and guarding, these snakes are more than just predators; they're strategists.

- **Diet**: Predominantly ophiophagous, meaning they eat other snakes. Imagine being so formidable that your primary diet consists of creatures most would flee from!

- **Vocalization**: Ever heard a snake growl? King Cobras can produce a low, resonant hiss or growl, a sound so unique it's like nothing else in the animal kingdom.

- **Venom**: Their venom is potent enough to take down large prey or defend against threats, making them one of the most respected creatures in the wild.

Holding this king was a reminder of nature's complexity and beauty. What's your most memorable encounter with wildlife? Drop your stories or questions below! Let's keep the conversation slithering. 🐍✨
