FSD is a study in odd contradictions sometimes. I use it every day. @TeslaSI 14.3 Lite is mostly excellent as our HW3 v HW4 video showed. Then it’ll do something weird. Here we see it maneuvering around a drifting car in one instance, and then regularly (almost daily) using the shoulder as a lane in this left turn. Autonomy has further to go than we’re willing to admit. Having had a blast in Cybercabs in Austin, I’m fully aware of their long nonsensical routes, driving past riders to park further away to make you run for them, and looping behavior where they just circle around for a while until they decide to stop or you tell them to pull over. That’s the best of the best autonomy Tesla has too. I’m not ready to abandon my steering wheel yet, even if I do enjoy letting the car do a lot of the driving for me. Just not all of it.

An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?
Just owning this for development makes me feel gross. I’m going to go hold my Duo for comfort…

It’s easy to have an opinion on FSD when it comes to HW3 or HW4. Let’s run them side by side.
FSD Chronicles 56: HW3 vs HW4
Matt rolled up to hang out so we did what we always do. We let FSD drive.
First up was Matt's 6 year old HW3 car, still running the old ultrasonic sensors. Then we hopped in my HW4 Model Y on Mad Max to see how the newer hardware handles the exact same run to Target in Hillsdale.
So which one wins? Watch to the end and tell me in the comments. HW3 or HW4?
Huge thanks to Matt for riding along.

Building the Sunday team shouldn't take a dozen texts. Churchism builds the schedule, sends invites, and lets volunteers accept from email or the app. Volunteers can add blackout dates too.

Enjoyed getting to spend some time with the real ones today. It matters who your friends are.

In the age of Cybertruck getting canceled, are older Teslas still worth buying? Let’s find out.

The ducks weren’t holding up to high speed aggressive driving 😳. After their third flight I decided to try something different.

While other companies rush to give people what they want, like Apple under Ternus bringing out a folding iPhone and the glowing Apple logo again, Tesla seems bent on going the opposite way.
Model S and X are gone. Cybertruck just rode off into the sunset. You can't even buy FSD anymore, only rent it. Forget the consumer, take away the products, and turn the company into a service where you own nothing.
That's bad for shareholders and worse for Tesla's most loyal customers. Could this be the beginning of the end?
