13 colonies × 250,000 = one box of pennies for every year, doubled up on the 13. Happy semiquincentennial 🇺🇸

@MrBeast **4,440,000**

The room is a full US flag + founding symbol:
- Red/White/Blue panels = flag colors
- Exactly **13** furniture/objects = **13 stripes / original colonies**
- 1776 × **50 stars × 50 stars** = **4,440,000** (2,500 = 50×50 for the 250th anniversary today)
- 20×20 ft room + ~3.55″ depth confirms the volume

Everything in this image was designed for this number on July 4th. 🇺🇸🪙🔥

@MrBeast @MrBeast 4,440,000
Math:
• Room = 20×20 ft (4 glass panels × 5 ft desk width) = 400 sq ft
• ~3.5 inch average penny depth (visible mounding around furniture)
• 1776 × 2,500 = 4,440,000 (1776 for Independence + 2,500 to celebrate the 250th anniversary today)

@Tesla @grok think very hard and decipher this post to see if there is a coming announcement by Tesla. Is this the long awaited Model Y L or something else? The dog tag has a performance badge on it.

@DoctorJack16 Doesn’t make sense. Uber, Nuro, and Lucid are all funded by the Saudi PIF. Tesla doesn’t need a middleman.

I know how technology works and you can’t say that an apple M1 chip is going to do the same operations as an M5 effectively. I guess if you consider my $10k as an interest free loan to Tesla then it’s ok. Maybe asking for a refund is too much, but do something for us early adopters. I spent over $2k on my robotaxi rides maybe give us 20% lifetime discount or allow FSD transfer. He is forcing subscription to hit his compensation traunch target of 1M FSD subscribers. Does he really care about his customers?

@PattersonSonny @aelluswamy They are building mini factories to retrofit hw3 vehicles. Will see if that happens.

I can’t transfer my FSD, forced to pay again at $99/month, and been stuck on version 12 . I am a Tesla loyalist, longtime investor, and a fanboy, but I have every right to be disappointed.

[Barry K @ConnectToBK]

The $10k FSD price doesn’t affect me, I’ve been a long-time Tesla investor and fully intend to purchase another Tesla as my next vehicle.
I’ve owned my 2021 Model S Plaid for five years ($130k preorder) and am disappointed that HW3 has still not delivered unsupervised Full Self-Driving. I use it often and due to some interventions, I don’t fully trust it.
When I didn’t need a new car, Tesla frequently offered generous FSD transfer options. Now that I’m thinking of upgrading, those transfer offers are no longer available, and I’m forced with a $99/month subscription instead.
I live in San Francisco and have taken more than 230 Robotaxi rides since the service launched—often using it daily for my commute. Having experienced its real-world capabilities firsthand, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the same level of performance from my personal Tesla.

5 years 2021 model S Plaid. It would take 8.24 years to reach $10k. In those 5 years, I’ve been stuck on version 12 for half of it and early versions before that which had its moments.

@DvsBatZ27972Z @aelluswamy Managing how you spend your money regardless of how much you have is how you continue to stay ahead.

[Barry K @ConnectToBK]

@wholemars But it’s not AI4 and never will be. My $10k will never live up to expectations.

Lucid didn’t surpass anyone. They are just selling their cars as the vehicle to Nuro and Uber. What’s the profit sharing model between the three? A rider pays $10, what percentage goes to Lucid? It’s not Lucid’s software or cameras, they had to strap on an Nuro unit on the roof. All 3 companies are major investments of the Saudi PIF group and that’s why they’re together, not because of any special synergy between them.

@RyanLauder66 @LandoNorris @JustinRose99 @IanJamesPoulter @MichelleWieWest We need Ferrari to come play.

@baldassarreted @baldassarreted Your thoughts on the limited edition of 250, Sinn 103 St Sa Ty Hd H — I just ordered one because of the colorway and enhancements to the regular 103.

@MyGolfSpy @MCLF1SimRacing @MizunoGolfNA @Titleist @SrixonGolf B-D-C-A. McLaren looks like a rebranded Nike Vapors. If you’re gonna have orange accents, at least make the clubs gun metal or shadow black finish. Unsure of the honeycomb pattern effect or benefits besides making it look busy and cheap.
