Tesla & SpaceX investor since 2016 🇪🇺 1M+ km of real diesel vs EV data. FSD in Europe, EU politics, xAI/Grok. Calling out bots and "experts".

17 years, 4 cars, 1,026,976 km, all mine and all real numbers, not brochure values. The two Peugeot diesels burned 35,280 litres over 659,000 km, that is almost 30 tonnes of fuel, and at today's €2.392/l in Bavaria it would cost €84,389. The same 659,000 km in my 2019 Model 3 would cost about €42,000 charged at home, losses included. A short thread for everybody who still thinks EVs are "too expensive" to run 🧵

Spain and Portugal learned what "grid stability" means the hard way, when the voltage control of a whole peninsula leaned on manually switched reactors and the lights went out 😅 Europe's own expert report says the stabilisation was too slow, and fast stabilisation is exactly the job a Megapack does.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Tesla Megapacks are designed to ensure grid stability, so that you never have a blackout

@teslaownersSV Valencia saw the same thing in the DANA floods: when the towers drown, phones become expensive torches, and the only "network" that doesn't care about mud is the one in orbit 😅

In Europe today is Armistice Day, and the same quiet story plays out in every mountain valley and island where fibre will never arrive. Starlink turned "you live too far away" into a normal internet connection, no politician's broadband plan needed. And the soldiers who depend on it most right now are the ones defending Ukraine 🇺🇦

Home in rural Oklahoma is where this veteran and his wife enjoy the things that matter most.

With Starlink, they can stream, study, and stay connected with family and friends, reliably and seamlessly.

@Everman That is the part robotaxi skeptics forget, and why a shared Cybercab and an owned car will live side by side for a long time. Ask any parent or anyone who sails: the trunk is half the reason the car exists.

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@ICannot_Enough @elonmusk A good part of the Model 3s on European roads came on a ship from Shanghai, so the "Tesla China is collapsing" crowd is counting the wrong parking lot 😅 Those cars show up in European registrations, not in Chinese domestic sales,funny how that works.

Lofi beats to self-drive to

@elonmusk Finland makes it 11 EU countries, and the northernmost one so far. Small detail in Traficom's notice: this recognition does not bind Finland's vote at EU level. So each national yes is a good sign, not a done deal. Snow and dark afternoons will be the honest test now.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Tesla self-driving now approved in Finland

[Alex @alex_avoigt]

Here we go, FSD Supervised/ TAD is in 🇫🇮 Finland approved!

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@pavleo @SawyerMerritt And Ariane 6 still drops its stages in the ocean after every launch 😅 At least the machines that make the solar cells are still built in Germany, so not everything is lost.

Masa had the choice between a quarter of Tesla and office desks with "community adjusted EBITDA", and he picked the desks 🙃

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

Taps the sign

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@alex_avoigt Finland is the first real winter exam for TAD in the EU: dark by mid afternoon, snow on the lane markings for months. If it works there, the "safety concerns" in Berlin and Paris get very thin. What annoys me: every country still has to recognise the Dutch approval one by one.

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@XFreeze Rescue is the use case that sells itself. Accidents happen exactly where there is no signal: Alpine valleys, forest roads, a boat a few miles off the coast. Every mountain rescue team in the Alps should have one of these in the truck.

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

Texas now has more Tesla robotaxis registered than Waymo ones, and a good part of them are Cybercabs with no steering wheel at all 😂 Meanwhile in Europe we throw a party because one more country lets a human with both hands ready use a "supervised" assistant.. Same company, same software, two different centuries. The Texas DMV counts cars, Brussels still counts meetings. One day a Cybercab will cross the Atlantic in a container and wait at the port for a comitology "opinion".

[TeslaStars✨ @TeslaStars]

Signal 📈🚀🤩

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@aikisteve @teslaeurope Not so fast. Berlin never promised a national approval: Minister Bilger backs the EU route and goes national only if Brussels fails. The name change and the 10% cap were the "price", but KBA still wants its own test. So Germany votes in the committee, it doesn't jump the queue.

BREAKING NEWS! 🇫🇮 Finland is in: Tesla Europe just announced Tesla Assisted Driving is approved there, rollout begins soon. Traficom had been "assessing" the Dutch RDW approval since June, the Baltics moved first. That makes 11 EU countries, while Germany, France and Italy are still "reviewing" (source: Tesla Europe).

[Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa @teslaeurope]

Now approved in Finland 🇫🇮

Rollout begins soon

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@NotAnFSDTracker Even Traficom only says the EU decision is "expected during the coming winter", so until an agenda shows up in the comitology register this "momentum" is stuck in committee rooms with no date on the door.

[🇪🇺 Teslectrics 🇪🇺 @teslectrics]

@tslaming Nice map, but Traficom itself says this recognition does not bind Finland in the EU vote, so the switch still sits in Berlin and Paris,where they keep "reviewing" it.
