@Teslarati FSD has already kept me out of at least 6 car-deer accidents, starting with our HW3 2018 Model 3, and continuing with our 2024 Model 3 & 2024 Cybertruck. CT shows 99% FSD usage in ap settings. ❤📐

STARLINK SATELLITE EXPANSION IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND FASTEST INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDS IN HUMAN HISTORY SpaceX has now launched over 11,400 Starlink satellites, with nearly 10,000 currently in orbit and active. The constellation is growing so fast that Starlink already serves more than 9 million users across 150+ countries and territories — and the real explosion is still ahead. Here’s why this scale is a massive deal: • True global coverage is almost complete The latest V2 satellites (larger, more powerful, with laser links) are filling the final gaps. Polar regions, deep oceans, remote deserts, and mountain ranges that never had reliable internet are now coming online fast. • Direct-to-Cell is coming soon Regular smartphones will soon connect directly to Starlink satellites — no dish needed. Emergency calls, texts, and basic data will work literally anywhere on Earth. • Speeds & reliability keep improving Average speeds are already 100–300+ Mbps with low latency. As more satellites join, the network gets faster, more resilient, and capable of handling tens of millions of users. • Real-world impact is already enormous • Disaster zones restored within hours • Rural schools and hospitals in Africa, South America, and Asia now have high-speed internet for the first time • Commercial flights, ships, mining operations, and remote communities run on Starlink • Conflict zones stayed connected when ground networks were destroyed • It funds the multiplanetary future Starlink revenue is the main cash engine paying for Starship development. Every new satellite launched is helping build the vehicle that will take humanity to Mars. This isn’t just “satellite internet.” This is the largest, fastest-deployed global communications network ever created — turning “no signal” into a sentence from the past for billions of people. The expansion is relentless, and the best is still coming.
