Every owner I've seen says the yoke is fine after a few days of getting used to it, yet people who have never tried it insist on making a huge deal out of it. $TSLA
Tesla batteries last longer than engines on average and degradation is typically less than 10% after 250k km. They get replaced for free under warranty if degradation drops below 70% and warranty lasts 8 years. Average new car ownership length is below that so most will never

Tesla repaid their government loan 9 years early with interest, netting the taxpayer money. While GM and other manufacturers still owe billions.
Let's talk about the dual motor Cybertruck.
2019 vs 2023 specs:
- Range: 300 miles vs 340 miles (470 with RE)
- 0-60: 4.5s vs 4.1s
- Payload: 3500lbs vs 2500lbs
- Towing: 10k lbs vs 11k lbs
Since then, they've also added significant features:
- Steer-by-wire
- Rear-wheel
I was trying out FSD downtown today, heard a pop under the car followed by an ongoing high-pitched metallic grinding noise. Parked it on the side, looked around the car, couldn't find anything. Did not want to chance it so called Tesla roadside. They think it might be debris

Good! What makes Sidemen videos great is being able to 'hang out' with you lot as you do something fun. It doesn't work if it turns into a MrBeast style video.
After months of answering questions about owning a Tesla and giving them test drives, not one, but TWO family members are putting in their orders for a Model 3 this week. Stoked! ⚡✌️ $TSLA

From a climate change perspective there's a very valid reason to change all government vehicles to electric. And this is from someone who agrees with defunding and reforming the police.
"All these things, I said we would do them, we did them. We're going to do the Robotaxi thing too. The only criticism, and it's a fair one, is that sometimes I'm not on time. But, I get it done, and the Tesla team gets it done." $TSLA

Here are just 18 things that a Cybertruck has but a Rivian doesn't:
1) 2500 lbs payload capacity
2) 6 foot bed
3) Rear seats that fold upwards
4) Powered tonneau cover
5) Powered frunk
6) Variable steering ratio
7) 170° steering lock to lock
8) Rear-wheel steering
9) Higher
Here are just four things that a Rivian truck has but a Cybertruck doesn’t:
1) Full-size spare tire storage area UNDER the bed
2) On-board built-in air compressor
3) Gear Tunnel (a convenient storage area with doors that each support 250 lbs)
4) Portable speaker

Brief history of TSLAQ getting things right:
- Fake Model S
- Fake Model X
- Fake Model 3
- Fake Model Y
- Fake Cybertruck
- Fake Semi
- Fake Autopilot
- Fake Solar
- Fake Powerwall
- Fake Megapack
- Fake Gigafactories
I'm sure they'll be right about Fake Optimus. $TSLA
FSD Beta took me from Montreal to Ottawa, a 2h+ drive, with 0 disengagements.
Deniers love to focus on the 1% of times it makes mistakes, while ignoring the sheer value the other 99% gives drivers. Amazing tech, and the kicker is: this is the worst it will ever be.

Why would we allow a McLaren 720s or Porsche 911 Turbo S on our streets?
At least this one has state of the art safety features and is much safer for people inside and outside.
@WholeMarsBlog
Firing Kimbal would be a mistake. Yes they're brothers, but if Isaacson's book is any indication, he has acted as a counter-balance to Elon when it mattered, and Elon listens because they understand and trust each other.
The new Tesla Model 3 is dope. Quieter cabin, more comfortable ride, snappier software... many little improvements. With the free FSD transfer, I'm seriously considering it.

He got corrected via replies and community notes, and deleted it. That's exactly how this is supposed to work and it's a sign that nobody is above the truth on Twitter now, not even Elon.
I decided to compare what factory workers make with GM+UAW, vs. Tesla. The results were shocking.
I looked at three comparable roles across both companies, and tried to keep cost of living out by selecting similar locations.
tldr: Tesla factory workers make 24% to 47% more.
Tesla FSD 12.3.3 in a snow storm, continued. This drive was awesome, and it handled so many different things well.
Almost flawless if not for it trying to turn on a straight green arrow traffic light again, causing the only disengagement. This needs to get fixed for Montreal.
@Reed_Wolfpack
It's far more likely you're just wrong, Reed. Tesla may just be that once in a generation company it's proving to be, and if you weren't so blinded by your hate towards Elon you might dig deep enough in the right places to find out why. 🤷♂️
Tesla FSD v12 is the worst version I've ever experienced. We need to bring back USS, Radar, and most importantly add Lidar. This needs to happen now or we will never catch up to Cruise.
Welp, I got to experience Tesla's glass roof strength first hand tonight... If you're in Montreal don't be like me, stay home if you can and stay safe until this ice storm passes.

While technically true, Tesla was barely a company at the time. No business plan, no employees, certainly no product. Name one thing Eberhard did that was influential to Tesla's success? ... Elon was the most responsible for where the company is today, this is a fact.
I can't wait for all of you outside of North America to experience FSD Beta, it might be the most mind blowing consumer product you've experienced. It was, and still is, for me. Grateful to have it every day.

FSD drove me down to Sherbrooke from Montreal for the eclipse. 90+ minute drive with 0 interventions.
It changes a drive like this into a relaxing, low-stress experience, and gives me the ability to freely look around and enjoy the sights of the beautiful country.
Awesome.

Plaid torque curve is nearly flat at the top end, so it keeps pulling all the way up to its top speed, unlike the old Model S/X. That's the main difference that makes Plaid lethal. S Plaid was .6 off the Laguna Seca record and ran a 7:30 Nurburgring.
@Pmgraham86
1. Big Oil/Competitors pushing false narrative
2. Short side investors spreading misinformation
3. Media doing both above because Tesla doesn't advertise and hate gets views/clicks
4. Gullible people believe the above and repeat it themselves
5. Some people hate anything popular
Shooting my shot:
- I have enthusiastically followed FSD since development first started.
- I have owned 2 Teslas with FSD and use it extensively.
- I use it in all types of scenarios and have contributed as much unique data as I could.
- I scored a 100 safety score when it first
Tesla FSD Beta interactive 360 video, this one in rain. Preview below. Watching
these on a phone is pretty cool, moving it around pans the

Most annoying things you will hear from people who don't know anything about Elon Musk beyond headlines and viral stories:
1. His family owned an emerald mine and he grew up filthy rich
2. He avoids taxes and pays less on his income then the average American
Both untrue.

Except it's a made up story created from 1 quote by his dad, of whom he has no relationship with. But people like you who repeat it without evidence are the reason it went viral.

Maybe you should listen to some of them since you're the target audience when they use videos where it's obvious Autopilot/FSD isn't even activated.

Regulators are not there to judge how it works, just that it does. If the end result is it still avoids cyclists then there should be no issue.

You're right. That's why it was dealt with 17 years ago when the case was dismissed and he was not found guilty. Bringing it up again right after his death is distasteful.

This argument has been debunked by countless studies. Battery production is nothing compared to operating the vehicle over its lifetime.

SpaceX made spaceflight much cheaper for NASA and America, wasting less taxpayer money.
Elon Musk paid more in taxes than anyone in history last year.
Get. Educated.
