Approving FSD will save lives @oscar_puente_

[FSD Approval Tracker @NotAnFSDTracker]

If you live in the UK 🇬🇧 get yourself a Tesla to avoid these crazy fuel prices.

- Every new Tesla comes with the FSD computer, which we believe will have regulatory approval next year.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Tesla FSD amazed me yet again. It noticed the large trailer so it didn’t pull all the way up to the line after this car went. Then it realized that the trailer was t going to swing wide enough so it REVERSED to make way, then shifted over to get clear. This is AWESOME! #fsd

The driver had no idea what was coming... but the Tesla did 🤯

Exactly. Pensions are not a pot to be raided when incompetent governments can't balance their books.

Under Trump. April 2026: Leave no man behind!
Under Biden. August 2021: well, you figure it out.

My 65 year old mom bought a Tesla 3 months ago, and the only reason she did was for full self driving. After 1,000 miles, she used FSD…. 98% of the time! (2% difference is due to routing). She says “the car drives better, faster, and safer, than her.”

Fired

It’s been 40 days since we took delivery of the Model S Plaid.
It’s my wife’s car.
But I’m the one who takes the wheel in the evenings and on weekends.
Or rather, I used to.

My wife’s been acting strange lately.
She gets anxious when I drive.
I’ve been driving for 30 years. No accidents.

My wife always said,
“Your driving is so smooth.”
She trusts me enough to fall asleep in the passenger seat.
That trust evaporated in just 40 days.

“Honey, turn on FSD.”

At first, I thought she was joking.
She wasn’t.
When I drive myself, her hand reaches for the door handle.
Only when I turn on FSD do her shoulders relax.
She sighs. She looks at ease.

My 30 years of experience were no match for AI.

I have to admit it honestly.
FSD drives smoothly.
Acceleration, deceleration, and lane changes are all as natural as flowing water.
It’s like having a personal driver for a division commander.
The deft touch of a veteran who’s driven tens of thousands of kilometers.
But it’s a machine.

For 30 years, I thought I was a good driver.
My wife told me so, too.
But now that I’ve experienced true mastery,
my standards have completely shifted.

This is what technological progress is all about.
Yesterday’s best becomes today’s second best.

I asked my wife,
“So what am I now?”
She smiled and replied,
“A supervisor.”

The balls of a 10+ yr $TSLA investor. Most people don’t last this long. This ride isn’t for the faint of heart.

BREAKING: The Tesla Model Y was Europe’s best-selling car in September.

Why do you think that is?

[AleXandra Merz @TeslaBoomerMama]

Top selling EVs in Europe first half of 2025.
Who would have thought this, when reading MSM?

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.
