I know I made a similar post a few days ago, but I’m going to make another one because it’s important. My wonderful 102 year old WWII veteran grandfather is in hospice and in the process of leaving us 😔
My parents live about 3 hours away from where he is. They have put 1700 miles on their new Model Y in the last month traveling back and forth to see him. Being in their 70s , these trips typically aren’t easy. Especially traveling after dark. Thanks to FSD, they’re a breeze. If not for FSD, they wouldn’t have been able to make these trips as it’s just too hard on them.
I am so thankful that FSD exists and I can relax knowing they’re safe on these trips and without it my dad wouldn’t get to spend this time with his dad in his final days.
Thank you @elonmusk , @Tesla_AI and @aelluswamy for creating one of the most life changing products of our lives. I am beyond grateful.
I get at least one call from them each trip to say how perfectly it drove and how thankful they are for it.
10 years ago: 30-yr mortgage rate was 3.4% & median existing home price in the US was $250k
Today: 30-yr mortgage rate is 6.7% & median existing home price is $446k

If I were the company on the right I would try to kill every company that is like the one on the left.
This way, the company on the right can make trillions of dollars and then infect American politics with hundreds of billions of dollars to implement their vision of being the sole judge, jury and executioner of future progress.

Models that are inferior and significantly more expensive should cut spending and be in survival mode ASAP.
Models that are superior but also more expensive or slightly inferior but with comparable pricing can survive a bit longer.
Everyone loves to hate on the CyberSUV concept.
This is the one vehicle that would change Tesla.
The Model S and X are gone. The Cybertruck is in.
It’s time to create a full-size SUV using the Cybertruck platform.
This is what we want, @elonmusk!
I’ve partnered with @SawyerMerritt to tell everyone to petition @elonmusk to build a full size SUV.
Alright, we didn’t “partner�� or anything but we both share the sentiment of Dads everywhere who need more room for their growing families.
Come on, Elon… give the people what they want!
