If any other auto company shipped what Tesla just put in my Cyberbeast this morning, it would be a MAJOR launch event, like with a stage set up, a 40-minute presentation with people flying in around the world to see how amazing this technology is.
Tesla on the other hand just sent it to my truck overnight with an over-the-air software update.
I downloaded FSD (Supervised) v14.3.8 this morning and made Grok do all of this while my Cyberbeast drove itself.
Watch the video, if you think I’m lying.
I had Grok:
1/ add a destination
2/ add a second stop
3/ start FSD (just had to press a button)
4/ turn my AC to 68
5/ turn the seat coolers on medium
6/ then change the seat cooler to high
7/ play a song
8/ change to a different song
9/ open the glovebox (had to enter my pin)
10/ close the glovebox
11/ tell me the weather
12/ play Elon’s song
13/ change my destination to San Francisco mid-drive
14/ pick a Supercharger bc I was almost out of battery
ALL with my hands and feet off the steering wheel and pedals…
Here’s exactly how it went.
I said hey Grok, take me to the Pruneridge Golf Club closest to me, then the Starbucks near there.
It set both.
I started FSD with a press of a button.
Then I just kept talking to it.
It was kind of hot in my Cybertruck, so I asked Grok to set the temperature to 68 and cool.
Done.
Then I said put the seat coolers on medium… it turned it on.
Then I said change the seat coolers to high… it bumped it up.
I said to play a song from Future… it put a song on Spotify that wasn’t what I was looking for.
So I changed it.
I said to play a song from Lil Baby.
That was the one.
Then I asked Grok to open my glovebox.
It wouldn’t do it until I put my PIN in on the screen, which I actually respect for safety.
I typed in my PIN… it opened it.
Then I said close the glovebox… it closed.
I asked what the weather was… it said it was sunny in Santa Clara, high 85, low 64.
Then I said play Don’t Doubt ur Vibe, I think that’s Elon… it pulled up Don’t Doubt ur Vibe by Elon “EDM” Musk on Spotify.
Halfway there I changed my mind on where I wanted to go.
I said actually take me to San Francisco first and that I might have to stop at a Supercharger bc I’m almost out of battery.
Grok looked at my truck sitting at 14% battery life with 38 miles of range.
And knowing San Francisco is 39 miles away it found a Tesla supercharger for me to charge along the way.
I said thanks Grok.
A Tesla is starting to feel like an AI on wheels that can drive, listen, understand what I want, control the cabin, change my plans, and solve problems for me in real time… almost like another person is there with me, except that intelligence is embodied in the car itself.
And the wildest part is I didn’t buy anything new!
I went to sleep with one Cyberbeast and woke up with a more capable one.
That’s why I think people still underestimate what happens when Tesla combines FSD, Grok, its vehicles, and over-the-air software into one system.
That car sitting in your driveway doesn’t stay the same car.
It keeps gaining new abilities.
It keeps getting smarter.
And often, you literally wake up to a major release that changes what the car can do.
Any other automaker would have put this on a stage.
Tesla shipped it while I was sleeping.
Mind blown…
Elon Musk explains why you should never charge an electric car to 100%
The last 20% is not a small ask.
Elon: "getting from 80 to 100, it takes about as much time as getting from 0 to 80"
It runs backwards from how people fuel a car.
Elon: "it's a little counterintuitive, because for a gasoline car you would fill it up"
Inside the battery, ions are looking for somewhere to go.
Elon: "the lithium ions are trying to find a parking space"
Elon: "when the parking lot's empty, they can zip right in there and find a spot, it's easy"
Elon: "as the parking lot gets full, just like trying to find a parking space at a mall, you have to hunt around for a spot"
So on a road trip the rule flips.
Elon: "you actually want to charge to about 80%, and then run it down all the way to 10%, or less"
💰 Be honest… Is money really the root of all evil? 🤔
🅰️ Yes — Money brings out the worst in people 😈
🅱️ No — It’s how people use money that matters 💯
What’s your take?
🚨¡HISTÓRICO! Elon Musk acaba de aterrizar en Louisiana y el futuro de la humanidad acaba de cambiar de nivel
El jefe de spacex lo dijo clarito desde el nuevo terreno de Starbase Louisiana:
“Si quieres que la vida sea multiplanetaria… necesitas tonelaje serio.
Vamos a traer 10.000 trabajos de verdad emocionantes a Louisiana.
Starbase es cool… pero Starbase Louisiana va a ser otra cosa.”
Esta base no será un sitio de lanzamientos más…
Será el más grande del planeta.
Más de 30 despegues de Starship al día.
Todos los días.
Todos los años.
Louisiana acaba de convertirse en la puerta de salida de la Tierra.
Elon tried speaking German to the Giga Berlin crowd.
The pronunciation is imperfect and he knows it, but he still does it without treating it like a performance. The crowd reacts more to the effort than to the accuracy.
It’s a small moment that shows how he approaches local engagement: imperfect is better than distant.
Elon Musk checking out @SpaceX's new Starbase, Louisiana location.
Elon: "If you want to make life mutli-planetary, you need serious tonnage. I think we're going to bring 10,000 really exciting jobs to Louisiana. I think Starbase is cool. Starbase, Louisiana it is."
“Time is the ultimate currency.” - Elon Musk. I think that explains a lot about SpaceX building a new Starbase in Louisiana 🚀
I’ve been thinking about why SpaceX would buy roughly 125,000 acres in Louisiana and build an entirely new Starbase instead of simply continuing to expand Texas
Starbase, Texas is surrounded by wildlife habitat that’s federally protected land. Expanding there can mean land exchanges, environmental reviews, slow government approvals and, most importantly, time
Elon wants to see humanity living on Mars within his lifetime
Therefore, why make the entire mission wait for one bottleneck when SpaceX can acquire the land it needs in Louisiana and build more than a dozen launch towers there?
Of course SpaceX can continue expanding Texas where possible, yet they might as well do both at the same time. That’s such an Elon solution 😂
When one looks at what SpaceX is actually planning, you start to understand why they need this much infrastructure
SpaceX’s mission is to build an amazing lunar mass driver, launch Starlink V5, and create AI infrastructure in space
From there, it’ll be time to go to Mars and work toward creating an actual civilization on another planet
Moving that much infrastructure off Earth requires an a large number of Starships
In the end, 30+ launches a day from Starbase, Louisiana doesn’t sound quite as sci-fi
I’ve watched Starship go from looking like a shiny water tower hopping around Texas to SpaceX preparing infrastructure for Thousands of flights every year ✨
That’s the part that gets me: all of this enormous infrastructure being built on Earth is ultimately being built so humanity can start building on the Moon, Mars and whatever comes after that 🚀

@kerfufflepuppy@ProudElephant I enjoy having a space where I can speak openly, share ideas, and connect meaningfully. For me, that place is X. It fosters real conversations, curiosity, and insights that don’t fit elsewhere. Follow me? 🚀❤️🇺🇸
