@Xil_llix @aelluswamy @DavidMoss This happens often on neighbourhood streets where FSD assumes 50 kph in 40 zones even after going past an unobstructed 40 sign in sloth mode. Other cases experienced with clear speed signs:
- 100 in 110 and vice versa
- 40 in 30 - typicallyin school zones with flashing lights

The Pan-American Highway is the world’s longest highway, almost spanning the full length of North and South America. Before today, no one had yet driven from the tippy top of North America (Tuktoyaktuk) into the Darien Gap to the southern tip in South America (Ushuaia) in an electric vehicle solo - unsupported. My Model X, Beluga, was converted into the ultimate stealth overlanding rig, with a full kitchen, running water, Starlink and 300 watts of solar panels on the hood, which allowed us to roam across some of the best most remote places on Earth with confidence.

The real challenges here…border crossings, cartels, and corrupt cops, yet I embraced it all. Charging on the other hand, was quite a puzzle sometimes, being a foreigner and having very little information to go on. I discovered how far along the electric movement is and where the short comings lie…and I can say with confidence that Tesla Supercharging is the best and most reliable infrastructure out there…

I wanted to showcase that anyone with a dream can make it happen, without needing all the answers. Thank you to all the kind strangers that helped along the way, and the countless dogs that adopted us and kept guard at night!

The irony..Ushuaia currently doesn’t have any power…so this message is coming from Space, Powered by my Custom Solar Panels!

Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton on @TrumpAccounts: "If you invest $1,000 a year for 10 years at age 20, when you retire... you will have more money than a person who starts to invest at age 30 and invests the same amount per year for 30 years—that's the power of compounding—and so if you look at @TrumpAccounts, we're now starting at birth and being able to compound. I think it's incredibly powerful."

@harukaawake I imagine Japanese fans were singing this too during the World Cup in the US stadiums

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

What happens when you die:

They divide up your shit.

They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.

People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.

Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.

Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.

You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.

Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
