Model Y owner. $TSLA class of 2013. Laying out the reasons why Tesla will win…bigly!

[teslawillwin @tesla_will_win]

I've been investing in Tesla for over 10 years now and have made life changing money in the process.

Family and friends ask why I believe in the company so much. Here's my answer: https://t.co/LAUWtE8EfT

[Sergio Sánchez @SanchezzSergio]

Puede que sea polémico. Voy a contar una realidad desde mi experiencia personal:

Ayer dejé el @Volkswagen ID.4 en el concesionario, para actualizar el software del coche, ya que es una campaña. Tenía la versión 3.7 y me han instalado la 3.8 (que lleva 8 meses liberada y debería ser OTA pero se ve que todavía no).

La actualización tarda 5 horas y como no lo tienen en el día te dejan un coche de sustitución. Por otro lado la actualización ha fallado 3 veces pero al final lo han conseguido. En total el coche ha estado en el concesionario unas 30 horas. Y a mí me han dado sin coste un Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI (sorprendente lo que anda para 90cv)

Se me ha desconfigurado todo el coche, asientos, luz ambiental, colores/ajustes de la pantalla, etc. tonterías al fin y al cabo.

Y en el concesionario F.Tomé me han tratado estupendamente (igual que en sus instalaciones de Audi y de Skoda), ellos no tienen la culpa del sistema ni mucho menos.

Por otro lado, antes de ayer me llegó al @Tesla de 2019 la actualización 2026.14.1, se descargó sola, se instaló de madrugada en 35 minutos. Y a la mañana siguiente mi coche estaba como siempre, con alguna función nueva.

Paraos a pensar en ambos modelos. ¿Qué coste tiene para VW el tener que recepcionar coches, perder a un técnico 5 horas, sufragar un coche de sustitución (a todo riesgo), me han entregado el coche lavado, cuanta gente involucrada… para tener un retorno directo de 0€?

¿Qué coste tiene para Tesla desplegar un rollout de una actualización?

¿Y para el usuario? En un caso he faltado 1 hora al trabajo ayer. Y he perdido 1 hora hoy para ir a buscar el coche, además de gastar 10€ de gasolina y andar pendiente del teléfono por si me quedaba sin coche el fin de semana. En el otro caso me supuso una notificación en el móvil que decía “actualización disponible, pulse para instalar”.

Me es inevitable comparar. Son de esas cosas que como decía @mgarces83 no se ven hasta que no las has vivido, y que parecen tonterías a la hora de decidir por un coche o por otro, pero dicen mucho de cómo se va a definir tu experiencia de uso.

Downtown parking structures become housing, lots become parks. Garages become gyms, workshops, or playrooms. The money we spend on cars becomes savings or travel budgets.

@robotaxi will change our lives for the better, in ways foreseeable and not.

[Wade Miller @WadeMiller]

I bought a Tesla. Never thought I’d get an electric vehicle, but took a ride in a buddy’s Tesla and changed my mind.

I’ve been using the supervised self-driving mode for my daily commute into DC. It’s pretty amazing.

Today the car suddenly moved into the left lane, very abruptly. In that split second a very large piece of debris blew into the lane I had been in. The Tesla self driving system saw what I couldn’t see.

When I drive I can only see from the perspective of the driver side front seat. The Tesla has multiple censors with different angles of view. It saw what I couldn’t.

Importantly, even I I had seen it at the same time, the split second that it would have taken me to check blind spots and then consciously make the decision to move over would have taken too long. The Tesla knew all these variables simultaneously and almost instantly and was able to avoid impact safely.

Well done @elonmusk and @Tesla team.

Ask me anything.

I am an entrepreneurial female who has owned many businesses and have raised three lovely young men.

I have owned, as you can see, my share of cars throughout the years.

I am dumbfounded how anyone can buy anything but a Tesla after all I have lived and what I know. Feelings about Elon aside, which I do not fathom either, Teslas by 100x are the most amazing vehicles especially for the price of anything I have ever owned.

Everytime I get in the cybertruck, I re live my awe all over again, from the tight turns it takes, how low I can lower it while loading, how it powers my cabin when power goes out, I could go on and on and on - about all the features I love about it besides the basic Tesla features. It is the most amazing vehicle ever produced.

I am shocked that anyone can ever buy an ice vehicle if they really researched and knew what they were choosing. Safety, lack of driving fatigue you don’t even realize you have until you don’t have it anymore, quiet, peaceful ride experience, charging clean in my garage for $1 a night, lack of maintenance concern ever, service (I have found to be so pleasant), buying experience (literally takes 5 mins), ease of having others drive with key share, there are just so many things……

it’s remarkable to me when my Tesla is driving down the road by itself, and I look around at that 99.9% of those around me all driving themselves-how dangerous they are compared to me.

No shade on them but the fact is, they are a huge liability on the road and I am not.

Every accident I have seen in the past three years is an accident that would not have happened in a Tesla world. And I have seen a lot - even fatal ones.

It’s so sad to me how the entire global public is being gaslit about teslas - it’s clearly a designed slowdown of adoption - because adoption that would happen if the truth was revealed, would
be catastrophic to the old paradigm, the old supply chain, the unions, the car dealerships, the gas stations as they sit a top tanks they would have to be pulled out of the ground (expensive), the insurance and medical industry that makes so much money off the accidents. The list goes on and on about the disruption it would cause if the truth really got out. So the powers that be, lie, to slow down the adoption they know is inevitable, to give themselves time to pivot out of the already obsolete.

I am a 62 year old female who has seen and lived a lot in my life - this current state of affairs regarding the wool being pulled over the eyes of the masses, regarding the utter superiority of Tesla- is the most profound phenomenon I have ever lived. It’s truly uncanny.

Charlie Munger: "The very word diversification, which is taught in every business school as the holy golden grail, I consider almost asinine."

"I'm only interested in investing where I have some sort of advantage. If I have the advantage in three different things, that's enough for any family."

"That's fine for the ignorant people to be fully diversified, but if you actually know what you're doing, I think three investments are plenty."

The man never minced words. 🤣

[Angela Mustard @MustardAng61803]

@wholemars Very true. I used to be "anti EV". But then I needed a driver and Tesla offered FSD. I researched each of my previous objections to EV life and discovered that with Tesla, the arguments were unfounded (esp disposal of batteries!) Leased a M3, fell in love with EV life & Tesla!

[Coffee and Grit @CoffeeNGrit]

I just got back from a 4 hour demo drive in a new Tesla Model Y Premium and I’m still kind of buzzing.

I've watched the videos. I’ve read the stories. I thought I understood what FSD was. I did not, not even close!

Because when you’re actually in it and you let it do its thing, it’s not a “cool feature.” It feels like you just stepped a few years into the future!

I tried everything. FSD, regen braking, the acceleration, Summon, self parking, super charging and switching between driving and FSD on the fly. And man… FSD was the part that messed with my brain in the best way!

It handled city streets like a pro! It rolled through parking lots, found spots, and self parked. It went right through construction zones with workers out there directing traffic with flags, and it just… did the right thing. Smooth, not sketchy at all! I kept waiting for the moment I’d have to grab the wheel and save it.

I never had to take over! Didn't even have one moment where I felt like I might need to!

Then the built in Grok planned a scenic route that was actually fun, not just “fastest route” boring. And while it was driving, I played with Grok in Assistant mode and Unhinged mode and I’m not gonna lie, I was laughing out loud because it felt like having a smart, slightly chaotic co pilot that still stays useful.

Regen braking was another shock. It takes like five minutes and your brain clicks and you start thinking, why does every car not feel like this? The acceleration is stupid quick! Summon was straight up wild to see in person! Watching that car drive through the parking lot to meet me with no one on board was crazy!

I’m telling you, experiencing it is completely different than hearing about it!

If you’ve been on the fence, go do a demo drive. Give it time. Try it on real streets, real parking lots, real situations.

Because after today, I get it!

I’m ready to buy.. NOW!

What do you want to try most, FSD, regen braking, Summon, or just feeling that acceleration?

@elonmusk - this is truly the future! I am amazed!

[Herbert Ong @herbertong]

What a moment! Grok in the car just blew my wife’s mind.

Just arrived at a restaurant and the car is about to park. My wife says “hey, I don’t want to park here”

Grok (eve) replies (surprising her as she didn’t yet know Grok was on) saying “No worries where would you like instead?”

So she says the next spot. And the car does it!

Crazy. So many people will be shocked when they find out

Optimus V3

Elon: “Optimus V3 is the right design to go to volume production. It is a significant redesign from V2.”

Many people are confused by how Elon can seemingly commit to a production ramp on Optimus and then suddenly retrench.

What may look like capricious behavior is really just standard engineering practice—only this time, it’s playing out in full public view.

You're witnessing how the sausage gets made (try to enjoy it).

Elon likely attends regular engineering reviews on Optimus, covering hardware, software, and manufacturing progress. Because Optimus is so new, most things are being learned in real time. This is accelerated R&D— research and development happening concurrently, which is typical in frontier tech.

During a review, the team— or Elon— might conclude that a redesign is needed. Maybe there's a breakthrough in the actuators controlling hand movement— a more durable, high-precision mechanism. Or perhaps there's a better way to design the product for manufacturability.

Great engineers always want to make the product better. Sometimes, it makes sense to pause and improve before the product hits the manufacturing floor or worse, ends up in customers’ hands. Other times, it’s better to ship and iterate in the next version. There are always tradeoffs.

This is the process: sometimes messy, sometimes a judgment call with no bright line.

Elon’s judgment is superb. He understands the balance like few others. He knows you're going to break some eggs to make an omelet— and maybe more than the usual number if you want a great one. He mixes data with intuition, applies first-principles thinking, and adopts a “fail fast” methodology: put the product into its real-world environment, observe, fix, repeat— rapidly.

This same philosophy drives SpaceX, where iterative engineering is visible to the world. Rockets explode, and many observers still mistake it for failure.

Unlike Apple, Tesla and SpaceX do a lot of R&D in the public eye. With rockets, you can’t hide it— but it’s also a conscious choice. A confident organization embraces public iteration, using real-world exposure as critical feedback.

What matters most—non-negotiably—is a product that performs reliably and can be manufactured at scale with an acceptable cost structure. Tesla excels here. Manufacturing is its competitive superpower, and its R&D is world-class as well.

If you’re rooting for Tesla to succeed with Optimus—if you have a stake in its future—recognize this for what it is: a sign they’re taking the challenge seriously. And if Tesla admits it’s hard, just imagine how hard it will be for everyone else.

I'm imagine @thejefflutz might have a few things to say about this.

Look, @elonmusk could literally buy Australia, crown himself king of a continent, and live his best baller life.

Instead, he's building game-changing companies that propel humanity forward while sleeping on the floor of federal buildings to uncover fraud in our government.

If you're hating on him, I just don't understand you.

For me, he's an inspiration. And as an American who loves this country and wants it to flourish, I'm deeply grateful to him.
