I thought Tesla Full Self-Driving would make my commute easier.
I did not expect it to expose me as the problem.
Turns out I was not “driving defensively.”
I was conducting a one-man municipal audit of every idiot within 300 yards.
Someone going 40 in a 25?
I had notes.
Someone taking too long at a green light?
I had a full theory of civilizational decline.
Now the car drives and I just sit there like a reformed man.
No high blood pressure.
No death grip on the wheel.
No courtroom monologue about lane discipline.
My wife noticed immediately.
She said, “You’re way more chill in the car, I like this!”
That is when I realized Tesla didn’t just make the car drive itself.
It made me stop narrating the collapse of society from the driver’s seat.
Everyone should experience this.
An electric car driving you around.
I honestly feel bad when I see all these drivers pay $4.50 per gallon for gas while also needing to manually drive the car.
It’s highway robbery. Literally.
These guys go 3,000 miles without an intervention and I can't even get down the road without a random "take over immediately" where the car pulls over and won't drive until I take over 😭
Maybe I just have bad luck
WattEV has just announced that it is deploying 370 @Tesla Semi trucks, the largest single electric truck deployment in California.
• ~$100 million worth of Tesla Semis
• First 50 Tesla Semis to be delivered in 2026, full fleet by end of 2027
• 300+ of the Tesla Semis will be deployed under a joint program with the Port of Oakland
• New Megawatt charging hubs coming in Oakland, Fresno, Stockton & Sacramento
• Built to scale zero-emission long-haul freight across key CA corridors
“We selected the Tesla Semi based on cost, performance and availability after issuing a public request for proposals,” Salim Youssefzadeh, WattEV’s CEO, announced at the annual ACT Expo industry trade show in Las Vegas today.
"With the Tesla Semi now entering mass production and drawing strong reviews from fleet operators nationwide, WattEV’s vertically integrated model – combining vehicle deployment, megawatt-class charging infrastructure, and full-service leasing – offers a turn-key path for carriers without any capital risk."
More than 300 of the Tesla Semis will be deployed under a joint program with the Port of Oakland. Delivery of the first 50 Semis coincides with WattEV’s planned opening of truck-charging stations at the Port of Oakland and in Fresno, both equipped with Tesla’s Megawatt Charging System chargers capable of providing 300 miles of range to a Semi in approximately 30 minutes, comparable to a conventional diesel fill-up. Additional depots are scheduled to open this year in Stockton along with Sacramento breaking ground in 2026.
