@niccruzpatane Can you measure and compare the cabin noise level on the highway between premium and standard model Y?
Please also check whether it’s single or double pane glass for the front side windows
Tesla unsupervised is finally scaling in Austin! At least a couple vehicles are running simultaneously, the service area is significantly expanded, and availability has been improving via @RtaxiTracker data
Still looking to see if we see rides at night/non-optimal conditions and if the active number of unsupervised vehicles continues to increase
Cybercab action all over Giga Texas today, with 12 parked in the outbound lot (next to some Model Y’s for a good scale comparison), several driving around, 11 at the factory exit point and about a dozen more around & in the crash testing facility.
Next week is April, so production is very near now, assuming @Tesla is still on target to launch this new vehicle! Lots to see today at the factory, so check out my main video later today!
Finally a post with substance from Tesla on the topic of autonomy.
Why can’t they also do this on the status of robotaxis in the US @elonmusk, @Tesla, @wholemars?
Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.
Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer.
Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to:
– 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads
– 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs
– 4,500+ track test scenario executions
– Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements
– Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results
We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point.
We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!
The heartbeat of a new era.

The maximum range of the BMW i3 50 xDrive Limousine (2026) will be up to 900 kilometers (WLTP). Since no binding WLTP values are currently available, these are preliminary values. Furthermore, the real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.
linkedin is such a fake place, it happens so often that you run into posts with a whole screen of tokens that contain effectively no information, maximizing the act of sharing without actually sharing anything. Wish I could charge by input tokens and make them pay back my wasted time and attention.
@KlenderJoey@Tesla No worries, that helps, thanks!
I wonder whether it’s just the window panes that are different, or other areas such as the underfloor too.
If it’s just the windows one may be able to upgrade or fairly easily, but I fear more under the hood may be different.
Hi @KlenderJoey,
I just read your review of the @Tesla model Y standard including a comparison with the premium version.
In that review, you mention that the cabin noise in the standard is significantly larger compared to the premium.
Do you happen to have measurements of this?
There don’t seem to be any side mirrors - very nice!
I can’t make out whether there is a steering wheel, though 🧐
@wholemars and @ethanmckanna, where do you reckon the first production vehicles will operate?
