Below is a short thread of myths I’m hearing from friends, family and work colleagues. I decided to do a little research and set the record straight.

@ryanjaycowan One kid is a hobby, two is a full time job!! Hang in there. It does get easier as they get older. Especially when the kids start playing together.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@kerrybwalker @TeslaAUNZ Congrats! Dogs are the best.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@Jays200 @TeslaAUNZ Same. I have emailed EAP and Tesla AI about enrolling, but they don’t seem to be interested. I would be more than happy to add valuable training data back into their model and help out.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@EVStraya My <insert Legacy Shitbox car> can totally park itself too. Oh and it also totally has FSD as well (on well marked Highways). /s

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@13arm13arm @TeslaAUNZ @Tesla_AI I don't think a snapshot button is going to solve your problems. We need to give you full access to the FSD code base and video data set that NNs are trained on so you can fix all these problems ASAP.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@luken2199 @13arm13arm @DronusAdelaide @gbhall @ryanjaycowan Tesla AU NZ fucked up by announcing the “rollout” which didn’t go to any normies, just retarded influencers and EAP. We have been waiting over 9 months since FSD V13.2.9 dropped and this is what we get? Honestly @Tesla_AI need to go back to the drawing board with this one.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@CMCMarketsAusNZ Buyer beware, you don’t get any proxy voting rights when buying international shares, due to the custodian model. Other platforms (like IG Share) do have the same custodian model but do allow proxy voting your shares.

@EVStraya First system abort at the 12 minute mark. I wonder why it did that? Did you disengage or the system did? Early builds of 14.1 in the US would also get that error but continue driving and recover to normal soon after.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@min_dopravy You are choosing politics over driver safety. Look at the safety data coming out of the Netherlands. Why do you think the RDW approved FSD? It did extensive testing. What more do you need?

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@DronusAdelaide Seems it might have been an issue with first upload and maybe new version re-uploaded?

[Tesla App Updates (iOS) @Tesla_App_iOS]

Hello sorry about the long lapse of this de-compile, hit at just the right time and had a very busy day full of personal things to take care of.

Many are reporting they do the update and it says it’s out of date. Downloading the current version points back to 4.57.0 not 4.57.5. Looks like they might have bumped the App Store version without updating the build. So nothing new to report and in this case I’d recommend not updating as it seems to be causing some issues.

My guess is the mobile team have already resubmitted a new update and we’ll see that tomorrow. App Store has been pretty fast with reviews recently.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@DronusAdelaide I wonder why they delayed it for four days? Strange. Usually we get it pretty soon after it is released. Yes to the other software update everyone is waiting for! Same for V14 Lite for long suffering HW3 owners.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@MollySOShea @lrocket @GoToImpulse Amazing interview and I learned so much about Tom's new endeavor. I'm now a big fan of your channel!

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@CMCMarketsAusNZ Due to your lack of response or roadmap to enable proxy voting on International Shares, I've now switched to a different trading platform. I won't be recommending CMC to any friends or family in the future.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@___Cashy @wholemars It isn't learning. What you are seeing is statistical differences to input in the model, resulting in slightly different behaviour. It is the same binary file (NN model) from September 2025 running on your car today. V14 can't come soon enough! Its been a long wait.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@CaneverFabio @RobGrieves EU started with firmware 2026.3.7 (FSD 14.2.2.5). There was some confusing commentary from Tesla that this was more like 14.3.x in terms of capabilities and intelligence. This stable version is used to get regulatory approval. Then rolled out.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@ryanjaycowan Keep an eye out for the official Tesla sunshades that were just launched in China. They are retractable. I think CyberTruck was the first to offer V2L (via adapter and universal mobile charger). Model Y Performance from Berlin also has V2L, so Model Y L is the third to have it.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

Hey @TeslaAUNZ, as you know we have this government U16 ban in force. It would be really helpful if we could disable/remove Apps from the in car UI (like YouTube, Twitch, etc.). Parents need some help and being able to PIN lock or remove apps would go a long way. cc @Tesla

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@TeslaAUNZ I wish this was available to existing Model Y/3 owners as well. After years of customers requesting this feature, as well as Tesla executives suggesting it would be available soon in the Tesla lineup.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

@ryanjaycowan I wish there were better parental controls for the rear (and sometimes front) screen. You will know what I mean when your kids grow a bit older and want to get into everything. Not being able to disable YouTube is a real problem. I am considering to physically unplug it.

[Olivier Vallee @olyalphy]

Until it can drive you from point A to B unsupervised, it isn’t worth the price. I haven’t shown anyone I know V13 here in AU since it makes so many silly mistakes. I will wait until V14 or maybe even V15 before giving any demo drives. I think Tesla should focus on safety in their advertising.
