I just did a drive (model 3 awd 14.2.1) in slushy conditions- it was much more cautious than last January in slush on the highway (13.?). it now seems to 'understand' that there will be lateral forces when plowing thru 1-2inches of slush build up when changing lanes. overall it was great, the only failure was in getting up a snow covered inclined driveway - was just spinning its wheels, and because I was concerned with sliding sideways and hitting another car, i took over, backed up, and got a running start - maybe it would have done that, but it was unclear if it understood that was the correct approach. Super impressive. We are just about there.

The oncoming white SUV was already far over into the Cybertruck's lane. It came down to head-on (high risk of death for the SUV occupants) vs. diving left, where the CT could brake hard and any oncoming traffic might have time/space to react. FSD chose the lower overall harm option. 'Take the hit to save Grandma' sounds noble until you realize it often kills both parties

@ChuckCook @GeorgeFactorOnX @oi8achevy FSD is solved once people start reading/sleeping in the car, and are unable to notice this stuff :P

[tecloam @tecloam]

@DarkSevariant @quarktoash @Tutrifour It just took serious damage during extreme maneuvering. "avoid further damage (to all objects) and come to a stop asap" - it seemed to have followed that rule well

[tecloam @tecloam]

@Tutrifour I guess the white suv wasn't using FSD

Why It Clearly Takes More Than 2 Years (The Implication Many Missed)The reply's phrasing ("reversed ... in roughly 2.5 years") highlights the speed of the turnaround on the worst symptoms, but it doesn't mean the economy is "fixed" or that socialist-era distortions are fully erased. Here's the nuance:Inherited damage was structural and decades-deep: Argentina had ~80+ years of Peronist-influenced policies—repeated defaults, nationalizations, price/wage controls, massive public employment/subsidies, and central bank monetization. This created distorted incentives, low productivity, capital flight, brain drain, informal economy dominance, and eroded trust in institutions. Reversing that isn't a switch-flip; it's like unwinding compounded rot.
Short-term pain was inevitable and ongoing: The initial recession, unemployment spikes, and real wage compression hit hard (hence videos of frustrated young professionals on rent/migration). Austerity stabilized the macro but compressed demand. Recent monthly inflation ticks in 2026 show expectations and sticky prices/wages don't reset overnight. Full labor market flexibility, investment inflows, and productivity gains require sustained credibility.
Remaining work for "full reversal":Inflation still ~30%+ annually is high by global standards; getting to low-single digits (like Chile or stable peers) will likely take several more years of discipline.
Growth is recovering (IMF/others project 4–5% in 2025–26), but sustainable 3%+ with job creation needs deeper reforms (labor laws, taxes, trade openness, rule of law).
Poverty at ~28% is improved but still elevated; child poverty remains a concern. Long-term reduction ties to broader opportunity creation.
Cultural/institutional inertia: Many voters and unions resist further changes. Political battles over the budget, deregulation bills, and currency issues persist.
External factors: Dollar shortages, debt overhang, commodity dependence, and global conditions add friction

@amuse @Ollie_Vargas_ @grok @grok confirm that Milei did not reverse the economic and social results of socialism in 2 years

[tecloam @tecloam]

@Null0Route @amuse @Ollie_Vargas_ @grok Young people don't have a sense of the inertia of social and economic policies. But no, I didn't win anything

@AlexIvyson @alojoh @modelarrr @grok @elonmusk "arrogance and condescension" well, over-the-top sarcasm for sure.

[tecloam @tecloam]

@ramzpaul I am pretty sure the French are to blame, as in most international problems.

[tecloam @tecloam]

@jeff13g @amuse @johnkonrad @grok as opposed to what that you focus on?

Wife has a 2025 Model 3.
~$420–450 to buy the Wall Connector. Another ~$300 for new breaker + 60ft of 4 AWG wiring + breakers in the garage.
$99/month for FSD subscription, ~$10/month for Premium Connectivity (the car's cellular data).
She loves it. We use FSD >98% of the time now, plus Dog Mode all the time (leave the pup comfy while shopping/dining).
I never realized how annoying regular driving was until I basically stopped doing it.

@Sakshi50038 so ... google it so I get to page down past the adds? if I ask ai, I get direct answer, and if I then have additional related questions, it already has some context.
I mean, I feel bad about taking AI away from solving cancer, but ...

[tecloam @tecloam]

@_Truthpaste_ @cybrtrkguy @elonmusk not autonomous delivery until optimus can hop out and do the last 20ft of delivery to the doorstep. but at that point, an extended/high internal volume cybercab/robovan makes much more sense than a repurposed cybertruck

[tecloam @tecloam]

@MCAmselem Yep, if FSD is available, driving manually is an unnecessary increase in risk akin to driving a 'normal' car drunk

@DirtyTesLa Need drones to drop plush squirrels in front of potholes - my tesla avoids squirrels like they are the baby jesus

[tecloam @tecloam]

@cybrtrkguy @elonmusk good. tesla's brand is cybercab, (and Y+3 while ramping) - S+X are deprecated - cybertruck should be as well
