@JonBbC_TechGeek @ZacksJerryRig Seven years…. I’ll believe it when I see it.

@pepemoonboy @grok Lame. Google and ChatGPT offer AI responses for free @elonmusk

[Mike Yorg @myorg]

@pepemoonboy @grok is this true in the San Francisco Bay Area? It also doesn’t seem to cover tax break from owning.

@CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom Why wait until 2031 to make it required?

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

The average human drives about 800,000 miles in their lifetime. Tesla’s FSD AI has crossed 8.2 billion miles of real-world driving data

For one person to gain that much experience, they would need to drive for almost 600,000 years

This is not one person learning, it’s a hive mind. Millions of drivers worldwide continuously train one unified neural net, exposing it to millions of edge cases you haven’t even encountered

Just think about the safety levels this can achieve

That’s why Tesla FSD now reports about just one crash every 5.3 million miles, versus roughly every 660,000 miles for the average U.S. driver, making it around 7–8x safer than a human on the road

and the gap is growing exponentially every single day

It’s finally happening!

[Tesla @Tesla]

Just saying

[Mike Yorg @myorg]

@niccruzpatane This seems highly unlikely. I bet Tesla is #1 hands down with over 50% of autonomous vehicle trips by 2032.

@congressdj Happens to me on my M3 HW3 all the time. Tesla came out to clean the sensor. Got the error the next day I drove into a sunset.

I have endless respect for companies that make products that just work. Zero bullshit. I open up my Mac, throw on my AirPods Max and they’re connected and working. I close the MacBook, pickup my phone and the headphones are connected to my phone.

Walk up to my Tesla and it’s unlocked, walk away and it’s locked. Sit in my Tesla and it’s on, get out and it goes to sleep. Pull up to the function blasting music with all windows down, throw it in a spot, take my seat belt off, get out, and the car turns everything off and shuts all the windows. Traveling 1000 miles? Speak my destination into the car and press a touch screen button to start FSD. All charging stops automatically planned. Brainless.

Fuck input. The closest your product gets to 0 effort use, the more I love and respect you.

What SpaceX has done and continues to do is truly inspirational. So many firsts.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Elon to Joe Rogan:
“We deliberately ripped heat-shield tiles off Starship in the worst places, flew it back at 17,000 mph like a flaming skyscraper — 25× the speed of sound — and it STILL nailed a soft landing with holes burned clean through the steel.”

Then he drops the real bomb:
“Earth’s gravity is basically set to MAX difficulty. 10–20% higher and humanity would be trapped here forever. Starship is the first rocket ever designed where full reuse is actually possible. When we crack it next year, cost to orbit falls 100×–1000×.”

33 new Raptor 3 engines on the booster. Each one makes almost 10× the thrust of a 747 engine but looks like parts are missing because it’s THAT simplified. Hot-staging = the ship rips away while the booster is still blasting fire straight at it.

SpaceX already launches ~90% of everything Earth sends to orbit this year… and Starship is just getting started.

We’re watching the exact moment space travel stops being “rocket science” and becomes aviation. 10-minute clip below — sound on, prepare to have your mind blown twice in the first 60 seconds

@ValerieAnne1970 @grok can you fact check this?

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Things you don’t need to worry about when buying a Tesla:

• Oil changes (forever)
• Oil filter, air filter, or fuel filter replacements
• Spark plugs or ignition coils
• Transmission fluid changes (Tesla has a simple single-speed gearbox)
• Exhaust system repairs (mufflers, catalytic converters, oxygen sensors)
• Radiator, water pump, or coolant flushes
• Timing belt/chain replacement
• Fuel pump or fuel injector cleaning/replacement
• Serpentine belt or accessory belt replacements
• Head gasket failures
• Replacing 12V batteries (newer Teslas have lithium batteries)
• Transmission faults or failures
• Emissions testing & failing smog checks
• Overheating from coolant leaks or failed thermostats
• Stopping at gas stations
• Gas price fluctuations (the best)
• Multiple brake pad/rotor replacements (regenerative braking enables brakes to last onwards of 100k-200k miles for some people)
• NO MORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.
• Driving past 3 gas stations because “it’s 10 ¢ cheaper 2 miles away”
• Catalytic converter theft (yes that’s a thing)
• Not dealing with aggressive dealerships and service.
+ many more.

All the maintenance a Tesla really needs is:
• Tire Rotations (if applicable)
• Cabin Air filter replacements
• Brake fluid changes if needed after MANY years

Unlike a gas car that has 2,000-3,000 moving parts in its powertrain, a Tesla has only 20-50 moving parts.

That’s literally 100 times fewer moving parts than a normal gas vehicle. It’s the main reason Teslas (and EVs in general) are so reliable and need almost zero maintenance.

@wholemars Still stuck on v12!! :( It’s time to upgrade the HW3 cars, @elonmusk.

[Mike Yorg @myorg]

@brandenflasch I’d like CarPlay and have a Tesla. No reason not to! Spotify and Waze are great apps on CarPlay and way better than their stand-ins on Tesla.

@SpeakerJohnson Inflation has risen 48.57% since 2010. Not surprisingly, medical costs have risen higher than inflation. I don't think the ACA is the issue. Maybe we should look at regulations in the medical industry to control costs.

[Mike Yorg @myorg]

@pbeisel @elonmusk @grok what does this mean?

[Mike Yorg @myorg]

@WakeUpPatriott He’s extremely dangerous. Trust medical professionals with your health and the health of your children.
