A Halloween treat from @Tesla today! Our first FSD update since February of 2025. Many HW3 Tesla’s had been effectively frozen on super dated v12.6.4. V14 Lite finally arrived for our 2022 Model X this morning, really curious to test performance.

I've been up to some crazy stuff this past week! I got to witness Mercedes' first live T-bone crash test with a production EV and Hybrid IN PERSON!!!! An electric CLA took the hit to the driver's side, and its battery came out intact and undamaged! @MercedesBenz

@turo’s new FSD interface is awesome! Just move to the far right and you’ll find “Self Driving” as a dedicated tab. This only populates Tesla’s in your search area. Love this!

What happens when an EV is t-boned at full speed? New video inside an EV crash test facility, is now live on YT.

Rivian jumped from No. 10 to No. 2 in U.S. EV sales! Is it gaining ground, or did rivals simply fall back after the tax credit rush?

Cybercab may not be a car for individual buyers. Tesla is positioning it primarily for fleets and ride-hailing service. Should those who are blind or disabled get early access?

Are SpaceX shares to every kid in America through Trump accouts a gift? Campaign ad? Or the softest nationalization ever? Seventy million kids holding equity in Starlink and Starshield, locked for five years so they can't cash out, just own. Which one is it?

Paying for 100% battery capacity, then being capped at 80%, with the cause still unknown. VW says some ID.4s face a fire risk above that limit. Safety first, but drivers deserve answers.

Tesla's targeting Cybercab deliveries to customers by the end of 2026, but says the vast majority will remain Tesla-owned, operating as part of its Robotaxi fleet. Does this change how you feel about the Cybercab? Would you rather own one yourself or see Tesla build out a massive autonomous ride-hailing network?

Tesla may have just pulled off one of the greatest marketing stunts in history. IKEA. Burger King. AXE. Razer. And countless other brands turned the Roadster reveal into their own advertising campaigns. They're playing checkers while Elon plays chess. He got the entire internet to market @Tesla for free.

Is this the right way to keep the AMG's soul alive for ICE fans? Mercedes new AMG GT SUV has 1,169 hp, sub-2.5s 0-60, and 710 kW charging. But they gave it fake V8 engine sounds, simulated gear shifts, fake rev counter and vibrating seat-shakers. I was one of the first in the world to get inside one in Germany last week, curious if this is the approach to win over ICE fans?

Update to the Roadsters / verbiage in our account. Before & After. I guess it’s a bit more promising? 🤷‍♀️

Prediction: Roadster drives off the ramp, goes inverted as thrusters rotate and right the vehicle. It then hovers and lands right next to Cybercab to complete the family photo!

10 years ago people asked us daily “who even makes this car?” Tonight the whole world is watching @Tesla make history. Incredibly proud of @elonmusk and his team. Blessed to have two Roadsters in our account, and cannot wait to watch the livestream later tonight!

Global automakers are dropping EVs from the U.S. market, while global EV sales hit record highs. What's holding America back?

Should Tesla let drivers flag potholes like Waze, or will FSD learn them faster on its own?
