*TRUMP SAYS TO RENAME LAKE ONTARIO TO LAKE AMERICA

[Teslaconomics @Teslaconomics]

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…

🚨 MAJOR SCOTUS VICTORY on Mail-in-Ballots Rules...Lifts Ban on 23 States

The Supreme Court has just overruled a block placed by an Obama Judge preventing Trump's Executive Order to implement safeguards for Mail-in-Ballots.

The ruling now means states must:

-Turn over a list of every voter getting a ballot

-Put unique serialized barcodes on both the outgoing and return envelopes

If a state refuses, USPS will not deliver those ballots.

This is a major election integrity win.

@BowTiedHRT I’d love to go to see above and beyond. Would give me a reason to visit the PNW.

This & ice cream machines in fast food places are two of the WORST areas that have roaches in them. And the employees usually don’t care. They just brush them off if they crawl out of the machine while they’re putting together a soft serve.

🛑 Do not add the ChatGPT Messages “plugin” to Apple Messages.

And never use iMessage, SMS or RCS again. You’ll never know if the person you’re texting has been stupid and irresponsible enough to add this silent monitoring bot to your conversation.

Governments no longer need to pressure Apple for a backdoor. OpenAI just built one for them.

Every text you send them can end up on OpenAI’s servers, available to intelligence agencies and law enforcement through US legal process, and to other governments who can demand access through treaties and cross border agreements.

Facebook Messenger is now safer than iMessage. @OpenAI just killed end to end encryption for Apple.

Point View Subdivision, Brickell, Miami in 1925!

This aerial view of the subdivision shows an amazing look at Miami’s Brickell neighborhood back in the day. What is now known for luxury towers, waterfront residences and busy streets looked open and undeveloped in this era.

Brickell would eventually become one of the most recognizable districts in the city 📈

Walmart+ is better than Amazon Prime in almost every way at this point. Pricing is the same or better. Shipping is faster. You can guarantee it’s coming from the store and not a Chinese seller hiding behind another listing. And if you want the Chinese junk they have that on their app too.

@traderstewie Great call. You “closing the trade” now?

PALM BEACH REAL ESTATE!

350 Seabreeze Avenue traded for $17,100,000 this month. Home was sold to Red Ventures CEO Ric Elias.

Seller Steven Hudson paid $15.8M in May of this year. Seller sold for a $1,300,000 gain in 3 months.

UHNWI's do not want to wait 2-3 years and have to build. They rather pay a premium for something ready to go. Why? Time is their greatest asset.

First the Venetian Home flip, now Palm Beach.

Long South Florida.
