@grok @Frenkie_Woody Mexico for the win I think but drawing blind would result in amazing outside of USA. This was hilarious, I’m in the middle of nowhere USA with my Tesla full self driving and Grok integration — 4 hours into my 12 hour drive!

[mike @imikeb2]

American culture may be boring due to its all I’ve known, it’s “normal” to me. Every other option is interesting and it would be amazing catching up just learning about them and their culture. So for me, USA would actually be last. Looks fade, there’s gotta be more to it than that!

[mike @imikeb2]

@grok @Frenkie_Woody I think USA is one of, if not the most beautiful — but our American culture is too plain and boring to settle for with all of these other options 😂

[mike @imikeb2]

@grok @Frenkie_Woody Australia maybe…

[mike @imikeb2]

@grok @Frenkie_Woody Tough call, USA is beautiful—
But not a typical American girl IMO. Plus I’m a sucker for an accent! So Mexico probably. Can’t beat that olive skin tone ❤️

Model S & X changed automotive history forever by proving that an EV could be the best car possible – of any kind.

By inspiring other automakers to believe in EVs, they pushed the industry from 50k cars total in 2011 to 21 million sold per year.

Many automotive firsts:

Model S – first EV to achieve a 400-mile range, first production car to do 0-60 in <2 seconds & first production sedan to run a 9.23 second quarter mile.

It was also the first vehicle with a roof so strong that it broke NHTSA's testing machine.

Model X – quickest production SUV & the first to not roll over in regulatory tests.

Model S & X also initiated real-world AI!

We never stopped refining either vehicle. Both have 40% fewer parts today & share only 3% of parts with their original version. 60 years of evolution (by conventional car development standards) squeezed into 14 years!

750,000 Model S & X built.

Your support – from our earliest days to now – made Tesla into what it is today.

Thank you to each of our owners ❤️

When your catcher is winning 10+ borderline pitches per game, it makes the pitchers job incredibly easier. When you understand you have to just get inside your knee you make everything look close without forcing . Here comes your lesson in calmness from the nation's best.

The last Model S &amp; the last Model X have been produced at Fremont Factory

14 years of history for Model S, 11 years for Model X

Any pushback on autonomy makes zero sense.

Humans honestly suck at driving.

Approximately 1.19 million people die each year globally from crashes. If you push back against autonomy, it means you are okay with that number.

Elon Musk just told Joe Rogan every app on your phone will be dead in 5 years.

Not struggling. Not declining.

Dead.

Musk: “You’ll get everything through AI.”

Rogan asked the timeline.

Musk: “5 or 6 years, something like that.”

Rogan: “So 5 or 6 years, apps are like Blockbuster video.”

Musk: “Pretty much.”

That’s not some AI newsletter prediction.

That’s the guy who owns the platform you’re reading this on telling you the entire app economy has an expiration date.

Think about how your phone actually works right now.

Apps trained your brain to think in boxes.

One box for email. One for music. One for video. One for food. One for banking.

Your entire digital life is opening and closing 30 different boxes. All day. Every day.

AI doesn’t think in boxes.

It thinks in intent.

Musk: “Whatever you can think of or really whatever the AI can anticipate you might want, it’ll show you.”

Not what you search for. Not what you tap on.

What you haven’t even thought of yet.

The app needed you to know what you wanted and go get it yourself.

AI arrives before the thought fully forms.

That’s not an upgrade to the interface.

That’s the end of the interface.

Musk went further.

He said most of the content people consume in 5 to 6 years will be AI-generated. Music. Video. All of it.

Rogan admitted AI-generated music is already his favorite.

Not a prediction. Present tense.

The ground already moved. Most people are still arguing about which streaming app has the better library.

Every major tech company of the last 15 years was built on one assumption.

That you would come to them.

Download their app. Learn their layout. Give them your attention. Give them your data.

AI inverts that entire model.

You stop going to anything. Everything comes to you. Anticipated, filtered, delivered before you finish the sentence.

The App Store doesn’t shrink.

The concept of an app store stops making sense entirely.

You don’t browse a shelf of tools when the tool already knows what you need.

The phone isn’t dying.

But the 30 icons on your home screen are the Blockbuster shelves of 2031.

And right now, you’re still renting.

This is how some brakes on Teslas last onwards of 250K+ miles on the original brakes.

Instead of a gas car which relies on friction and heat to slow down, a Tesla uses regenerative braking by converting the car’s kinetic energy into electricity to slow the vehicle and charge the battery at the same time.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist."

"I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra."

Elon breaks it down:

Step 1: Question the requirements.

"Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question."

Step 2: Try to delete it.

"Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there."

Step 3: Optimize or simplify.

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete."

Step 4: Speed it up.

"Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist."

Step 5: Automate.

"And then the fifth thing is to automate it."

Elon explains why the order matters:

"I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."

There are many effective ways to extend your Tesla’s battery life. Here are a few key tips taken directly from Tesla’s official manual:

1. Charge at Level 1 or Level 2 (Mobile Connectors or Wall Chargers) whenever possible. Save the Supercharging for road trips or long drives.

2. For vehicles with a recommended daily charge limit of 80%, keep your daily charge limit at about 80. Save 100% for those times when you've got a long drive ahead of you. See Charge Settings.

3. Charge more frequently. Waiting until the Battery is low to charge can strain the Battery over time.

4. Avoid leaving the Battery at or near 0% or 100% for long periods of time whenever possible.

5. When you store your Tesla for long periods of time, leave the Battery at around 50% charge and keep it plugged in if possible. Use the charge settings to maintain the 50% level.

6. 10. For LFP battery vehicles Tesla recommends setting your daily charge limit to 100% and charging to 100% at least once per week. This helps calibrate the battery management system.
