My mom is 60. She has never driven, doesn’t have a driver’s license, and speaks very little English. But imagine a future where she can get into a Tesla, speak Bengali to Grok, choose where she wants to go, activate FSD - and travel independently. I tested that exact idea with her. She spoke in her own language. Grok understood her, set the destination, and Tesla FSD drove her to Domino’s, Costco, and back home. Watching her experience that freedom was incredible. This is why autonomy matters. It’s not only about technology - it’s about giving independence to people who have always depended on others to get around. The result honestly surprised me.

When I talked to Gates in person, he said “experts tell me a long range electric semi truck is impossible”. However, when I asked what his assumptions were about battery energy density and vehicle energy consumption per mile, which are the two numbers needed to determine range, he did not know either number! I also offered to let him take one of our semi trucks for independent testing, but he declined. Not sure what more I could have done. 🤷‍♂️

Driving Tesla Semi

10.01

I examined all 210 frames of the Roadster teaser and also checked: • Brightness/contrast enhancements • Every glitch frame and temporal composites • Forward and reversed audio • Audio and stereo-difference spectrograms • OCR, metadata, subtitles, and MP4 structure No second coherent message, date, number, hidden speech, Morse code, or embedded payload was found. The occasional X-like pattern and apparent dots/dashes are unstable glitch artifacts rather than reliably decodable messages.

See you next week

Semi is here Today, we're launching high volume production

1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months. 2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster! 3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

Things you can do with Tesla FSD • Watch the world go by • Actually rest • Ask Grok @bot to get work done

A brief review of FSD v14 lite for HW#3 Model S

Tesla FSD helped me avoid a close call today - AGAIN. Watch the white SUV on my left start moving into my lane. Even his mirror light said there was a car in the other lane - and he still drifted over. FSD shifts toward the shoulder and quickly slows from 45 to 34 mph, creating space. I was actively supervising and honked. The driver then moved back into their lane. This is why I appreciate FSD. I’m grateful for how it responded here. That being said, I also think FSD should be able to honk in situations like this. What do you think? What do you think, @Tesla @Tesla_AI ?

My car is Fixed!!!!! 🎉 Tesla Service Center Colorado Springs is the best!!

Just finished my first 3 drives. 1. God is reborn as Tesla AI!! 2. Buy a HW#3 car tonight if you can afford it!! Full review coming...

Diesel in Bangladesh is still cheaper per litre than in the US. That is not the problem. A 50-litre tank costs about 1% of a typical US household’s monthly income. It costs 54% of a Bangladeshi garment worker’s minimum wage (Tk 12,500). The problem is not the oil price. It is affordability. Incomes at the bottom did not move. #Bangladesh #FuelPrice #RMG #Economy

We have Cybercab at home

FSD drove past multiple small grass fires and smoke today without a single hesitation or disengagement. Bioweapon Defense Mode kept the smoke smell out of the cabin entirely. Kudos @Tesla

Connectors through Grok in Tesla available now and @bot in Tesla available to Super Grok Heavy users with access on more tiers coming soon!!

It would be awesome if Tesla added a Pull Over button on the FSD screen, just like Robotaxi. Sometimes I just need the car to stop for a minute. Right now I have to take over or put a pin on the map to pull over for a quick stop. If I can press one button and FSD pulls over in a safe zone by itself, that makes way more sense.

Grok @Bot now in your Tesla!

So I've been using Grok @Bot in my Tesla the past few weeks. This is an insanely cool capability. Here's a few things I've done like creating invoices and updating and deploying an app all while FSD drives me around!
