Photon count reconstruction FTW 😎
It's pretty wild to me how Tesla FSD sees things way early even when sunlight is directly hitting the camera. I couldn't see the car until the last moment because of the sun glare, but FSD handled that scenario like a champ.
It just doesn’t struggle anymore in direct sunlight.

With @Cybertruck, we introduced & scaled many automotive firsts
48V architecture: 4x lower current that enables thinner, lighter wiring
True Steer-by-Wire with no mechanical steering link, enabling variable steering response
Combined with rear-wheel steering, this also brought coordinated front + rear steering for greater low speed maneuverability & high speed stability
Structural stainless-steel exoskeleton: allows exterior panels to carry structural loads, resulting in far higher torsional stiffness
Full-hard stainless air bending: forms ultra-hard exterior panels without damaging the visible surface
Etherloop: gigabit vehicle network that eliminates ~70% of cross-vehicle wiring

FSD Supervised w/ Grok is a lot like having your own Robotaxi
Yesterday I had to grab some cash from an ATM.
So I got in my Tesla and said “Hey Grok, take me to the ATM”. It navigated me there and parked right in front of the machine.
Then I said “Hey Grok, take me home” and it drove me home and parked in the driveway. I got out and was done without touching the wheel at all.
Feels like longtime users like me aren’t hoping this up as much because it’s so normal now, but it’s truly incredible how reliable this system is now. It feels a lot like a Cybercab, helping me run errands without ever touching anything but the screen.
Now I just need a version with the controls removed.

John Foppe was born without arms & has been driving Teslas for over 7 years.
FSD Supervised lets him navigate the road without conventional steering – commuting to his non-profit job & visiting his daughter over 500 miles away
For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility
“I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.
Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.
Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me.
It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.
Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.”

Falcon 9 will launch @NASA's StarBurst satellite aboard a bandwagon rideshare mission no earlier than 2028 to study neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts
NASA has selected @SpaceX to launch StarBurst. 🚀
The small satellite will scan the sky for short gamma-ray bursts from merging neutron stars, capturing the earliest high-energy signals. StarBurst is targeted to launch on a Falcon 9 from SLC-40 at CCSFS no earlier than 2028.
