EV driver since 2015. Heavy FSD, live streams, road trips, and daily Cybertruck drives. What I see is what you get.

Since posting videos on xTwitter is like a fire and forget. and they get buried in your timeline somewhere, I thought about an interim solution for listing all the videos. It seems that the Highlights tab on my profile was never used by me. So I went through my timeline and added all my videos I wanted to be found quickly and/or be able to browse through by anybody else quickly. So to watch any of my xTwitter uploaded videos, check this link here nitter.net/AndyZeGerman/hig…

My son's friend was stopped in traffic yesterday when a Honda plowed into his Tesla at about 60 MPH. As the Honda bounced back, a second car hit IT at about 60 MPH and drove it into the Tesla again. Those hits shoved the Tesla into the SUV in front. Three impacts. He walked away without a scratch. The Tesla might even be repairable 🤯 I've been beating this drum for years and I'll keep beating it. Put your loved ones in a Tesla. Safest cars on the road. Watch the slow-mo at the end. Count the hits.

Need to alter the saying to: "You can't even lead the horse to the water, why worry about it drink" I am driving EVs since 2015 so my house burned down about 20 times by now, I have 15 cars on the junk yard and all that crap. 😂
I've made the anti-EV crowd big mad. With the truth. Here's the "best of" from the comments. "Most people don't sit in line to get gas. My electricity bill is high enough as it is. Thanks for trying" “I’ve had 2 people garage catch fire this year from charging EV’s. Fire department just lets the house burn. No thanks.” “Fire fighters put out gas cars. They let EV’s burn.” “EVs have a colossal range problem... You cannot go from LA to Vegas on a single charge. Imagine turning on the AC and not finding a charger when you need it. I'm not even talking about waiting for 45 min. It's ridiculous.” “EVs have so many problems. From unreliable batteries whose range varies unpredictably with the temperature, to dependency on the overburdened, incredibly fragile and unreliable electrical grid. In a disaster, you can bring gas & diesel in with tankers, but not electricity.” “Replace a battery, off to the landfill the car goes. Ever get stuck anywhere without a charging station, absolutely.” "EVs need to change their tires roughly 2x more frequently, to the point where you need to add that factor into your time spent and money paid" “An electric car needs to be recharged about every three hours. If you’re having to go to the bathroom more frequently than that, clearly you’re having bladder issues.” “The loss of range with every charge destroys its resale value. Charging at home is an unacceptable fire risk. If it gets real cold it becomes worthless.” “If a single battery goes, youer dead. Makes small accidents into big ones.” “EVs are hunks of crap... takes an eon to charge. At the end of the battery's life the vehicle is worthless.” And many EV haters simply turned to personal insults and attacks because they had no defense.

This weekend, two years ago, I was part of this group racing from Seattle to Boston on the i90-Surge. It was so much fun. Thanks @Out_of_Spec and @itskyleconner for this epic journey. piped.video/l1qYsVBKuH0?si=3BNl…

Hey diesel truck drivers. If diesel prices north of $6 feels to much to you, get an electric pickup. ts.la/andy8116

I really appreciate @itskyleconner and letting him drive the @tesla_semi and here comes the but. But, I don't understand why @TheReal_BCM was asked to take his very informative video down. Kyle, when you get a chance, connect with @TheReal_BCM and collaborate on the Semi.

It really is ridiculous to see the pricing side by side. I have charged at Francis Energy Superchargers along the i40 corridor in Oklahoma. I picked it because of convenience and because I have free supercharging, so one or two stops where I have to pay don't drain my wallet.
Basically right next to a @FrancisEVnet Supercharger for Business site that was there first? 🤔 Depending on the time of day and whether or not you have a Tesla / Tesla Membership one or the other could be cheaper. Not a great driver experience, IMO.

Ladies and gentlemen. The real reason why @tesla_semi was being released so late. What a coincidence.

All night PowerShare test came to an abrupt halt at 10pm. The 2nd charger in PCS of the Cybertruck failed too. No more PowerShare, no more power outlets and no more AC charging for me until the PCS gets replaced. Time to make a service appointment.

I'm amazed people will skip an EV because they take a couple of long trips a year, then sit in Costco gas lines every week to save a buck, when they could just charge at home. Add the time wasted on emissions inspections, oil changes, and the rest. EVs don't have a range problem. People have a mindset problem. You almost never go from empty to full. You grab what you need and go. It's faster than most people think.

Two months later and thousands of Tesla owners have not received this “wide” update. Including my S Plaid. You can’t trust these people.
FSD v14 Lite (for Tesla AI3 hardware vehicles) review. This is the version that’s likely going to wide release.

This is one of the most concerning FSD interventions I’ve seen. FSD 14.3.5, Australia, Hurry mode, on a two-way 100 km/h highway, today. My friend Troy was following a car doing ~85 km/h when FSD accelerated toward 100 and initiated an overtake, despite not having a clear view far enough down the oncoming lane. Then an oncoming car appeared. Troy immediately braked and disengaged. At those speeds, there was very little margin for error. Initially I blamed vision-only, but LiDAR probably wouldn't have solved this either. The oncoming car was occluded by the vehicle ahead. That's actually the bigger problem. FSD couldn't see what was coming... and went anyway. Occluded doesn't mean clear. It means UNKNOWN. And even supervised, that's concerning. Troy was hypervigilant and reacted immediately. What if the driver was distracted for just a few seconds? FSD can be incredibly impressive, but potentially catastrophic decisions like this are why I don't believe Tesla is anywhere near having autonomy solved yet. Before you remove the human safety net, these are the failures you have to engineer out. Can't confirm it's clear? Don't overtake.

This could have ended very differently. Not on FSD, but in HSM (head shaking mode).

Make sure to tell them how many other people you’ve convinced to never buy one. I hate dealerships in general. The few good ones do not make up for the plethora of bad actors.

That's why we need for everyone to drive a Tesla, cause they have FSD. Also....
