People don’t get it: under FSD I can mess with nav and music on Pearl with full confidence she’ll handle the road. The scary part? Every car now has a distracting touchscreen — without FSD’s intelligence to back it up. How do those drivers cope?

Mm family bought new Tesla from Tesla with a few taps, needed tradein, transfer of FSD, a bit more messaging, emails & a phone call with Tesla rep, all solved. Dealers make it sound like no human is ever involved…

Friend: bought a Toyota Prius, camped out at dealership for 12 hours to grind them and him down to a $10k ‘discount’, still paid over list… Happy no, crappy dealer supplied doorjam guards ($500) literally melted off car in next summer’s heatwave…

When global oil prices are around US$70–75 per barrel for Brent, Western Canadian Select can typically sell for US$55–60 per barrel. During periods of pipeline congestion or gluts, that discount can widen significantly, while new export routes like the Trans Mountain Expansion have helped narrow it.

Electric vehicle ownership has reached a “tipping point” that signals an irreversible shift away from petrol cars, not only in China but parts of south-east Asia and Europe despite stalling in the US, expert research finds.

Yes AI 4 coming to AI 3 cars so legacy gets a bunch more years. Also widens choice for a used X.

@elonmusk Yup gas hits $1.87 a liter where my son lives in Canada. For his new MY he topped up the electrons for $6.69. Very happy. Gas guzzling friends, not so much.

The longer you spend in tech, the stronger the urge to buy a farm and never touch a computer again in your life.
