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.

These are just not going away. Needs to be fixed before it breaks. @Tesla

ENJOY! — GOVERNOR GCN
Any other @cybertruck-ers having phantom drain lately when plugged in and sentry mode off? This seems like new behavior to me. Yesterday it wasn’t used at all and sat in the garage 24+ hours. But charged 3 different times from 77% - 80%.

Anyone know why @cybertruck estimated deliveries are 6-8 weeks now? Possible upgrades incoming?? Maybe a line shutdown for custom orders due to inventory levels?

🚗⚡️ Had a blast at the 2025 Spring Gen-EV races hosted by @UKCAER in Lexington, KY! Kids went wild for @cybertruck, CyberTent deployed, accessories galore! Their Goblin EV racers were epic, doing sprints and circuits like pros. 🏁 [1/3] #GenEV #Cybertruck

These young engineers built EVs from the ground up! I talked to the crowd about how their projects relate to real-world EVs like the @cybertruck. But Gen-EV needs funds to grow—esp to expand to F-24 racing for middle/high schoolers! 🛠️ [2/3] #SupportSTEM

[3/3] I even got to race with some officers! lol. No citations despite much fun with oversteer around corners. :) If you can support this program, please reach out to their coordinator, Shiela Medina, through their site: gen-ev-racing.org/

Getting ready for the annual #GenEV race @universityofky’s Kroger Field. @UKCAER’s annual electric vehicle race for elementary STEM students around Kentucky.
Grok 3 recommending I use Claude Opus 4 instead makes me think maybe it really is trained for truth-seeking. Recommending a competitor doesn't seem like a winning business strategy. I don't think I can give up Grok Workspaces (or Projects in the ChatGPT world) though.

A few days ago, our @cybertruck saved my life and the life of my 5-year-old daughter. We were T-boned by a drunk driver who ran a red light going 60 miles per hour.
The police on the scene told us that if we had been in any other vehicle, the car would’ve flipped and been torn in half.
I’ll be buying a new Cyberbeast this week. If you love your family, buy a @Tesla
Tagging my favorite follows on X to share some positive love.

Tesla Cybertruck with HW4 using FSD v13.2.8 did not hit the wall in a new recreation of Mark Rober's "Wile E. Coyote-Style" self-driving test. However, a Model Y with HW3 using FSD 12.5.4.2 was going to hit the wall.
Nice test @alsetcenter
Taking a cue from @MarkRober's Tesla wall crash, I couldn’t resist diving into the action myself. I set up an experiment to recreate the crash and test if I’d get the same outcome. Check out the video to see how it all unfolds!
I’m excited to hear your thoughts in the comments—drop your reactions and maybe even spark an idea for my next big video!
