The attached is a rant to cleanse my mind. I'm not particularly looking for feedback or discussion. It just is.

Take me back to these days please

@Tesla You should allow us to edit the routes that we’re taking by clicking on the blue line and dragging it to different streets. There’s many times I don’t want to take the streets that the navigation chooses. And then save that as a preferred route.

And even if you want to go on a specific neighborhood patrol or scenic drive you can draw your route and save it.

Today, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@TeslaNewswire Do all these "news" outlets just repost each other without fact-checking? According to all sources, not a single consumer vehicle has gotten this - it's purely an internal / theoretical release at this point.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@PlatniumEden @AIDRIVR Keep complaining because it's yet to show on a single vehicle on the tracking sites. Likely just an internal test build we may be lucky to see by Easter

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@NotATeslaApp So far it has gone to zero vehicles according to the stats, so it is likely just an insider build for a spring hw3 update in a couple of months.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@JoshWest247 Nah - I use 99% home charging and much of that is free from solar.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@NotATeslaApp Some awesome stuff - unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever see most of them on my '21 MY - almost all sound like they're tied to HW4 and v13

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@TeslaNewswire LoL V13...... they haven't managed to get a stable release above 12.3.x in over 6 months. Stable 12.x with holiday update, V13 mid next year.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@wholemars

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@ArthurFromX If only we had a scientific way to define such things ..... oh, right - statistics - and their own stats show that we're nowhere near 20%, much less the 75% that normal people consider wide.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@plume @PlumeSupport Not a good look when a long time customer still can't add new pods after a week of chatting, emailing and calling your support. Not as much as a case number confirmation. I guess it's time to move on to another mesh product and stop recommending yours.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@NotATeslaApp It doesn't matter how many "waves" they do if it's the same 3 people that get each new release over and over. At this rate it will be next year before we even hit 50% of people above 12.3
Statistically insignificant is the term you're looking for, not wide release.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@DirtyTesLa What about those of us on 12.4 - I'm not sure even Tesla remembers that failed version and is skipping us with all the updates since.

[Michael Beck @mbeck]

@mudkip420swag @wholemars Not with Elon becoming a mouthpiece for MAGA - I don't think fun and freedom are in his vocabulary anymore. But then Tesla seems to be abandonware for him at this point - he's moved on to Martuan politics.
