Unbelievable.
My friend @PhillipdelMoral just got FSD 14.3.3 on his Cybertruck and spent his entire 45 minute drive reading a book without a single nag.
If there was ever a sign that Tesla is slowly rolling out unsupervised driving, this is it.
Manual driving is finished.
We’re seeing the first generation of autonomy-native vehicle designs move onto public roads.
The physical world will look very different over the next decade.
A few examples:
• Tesla Cybercab — Austin, TX soon
• Waymo Zeekr/Ojai — San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix soon
• Zoox — Las Vegas, San Francisco, operating
If you’re thinking about switching to a Tesla because of high gas prices, don’t do it!
Let me try to talk you out of it.
Full Self-Driving completely ruins the fun of driving. I barely get to drive manually anymore. The car just smoothly takes me from A to B, leaving me with extra time to sit with my thoughts, completely relaxed and stress-free. Terrible.
It parks itself and nails it every single time, which is annoying because I can’t park that well.
No more physical key, so my phone is the key now. That means I can’t collect keychains anymore. Devastating 😩
The ambient lights sync with the music and turn the cabin into a nightclub. I hate clubbing.
There’s no gear stick. The car just knows what to do. You put your foot on the pedal and it figures out whether you should go forward or reverse. No thinking required.
The seats are both heated and cooled, so I don’t even get the nostalgic thrill of butt sweat anymore 🥵
The glovebox has a PIN code, and the car has cameras everywhere, so nobody can break in or steal anything. How am I supposed to live like that?
And now that Grok is built into the car, I literally don’t have to think anymore. I’m getting dumber by the day because it already knows everything.
Oh, and Teslas don’t have an engine, which means you get a massive frunk. Way too much storage. It’s ridiculous.
Then there’s charging on roadtrips. I have to plug in the cable (the horror), wait 5-15 minutes, pay $10–$20, and catch up on work, play games or just chill. Meanwhile I used to spend $100 at the gas station for the privilege of standing around smelling fumes for five minutes. Truly a downgrade.
And before you say “But Teslas catch on fire!”, they’re actually 11 times less likely to catch fire than gas cars. So maybe calm the f*ck down.
Anyway, you’ve been warned. Definitely don’t buy a Tesla! ⚡️🚗 ❌
$TSLA
Tesla isn't going after the ride hailing market,
they're going after the entire transportation market.
They aren't going after the robotics market,
they're going after the entire labor market.
This will eventually become clear.
