Not a Musk fan, but I am a Tesla/SpaceX fan. I love good engineering.

Tesla FSD 13.2.2 drove me home in the snow last night. I didn't know that it would actually change behavior based on weather already! But It was as good as a human!

Tesla Robotaxi/CyberCab/FSD is going to save lives day one.
The threshold they need to cross to deploy it is: does it save more lives than are harmed - not is it perfect.

I don't even think we should care if it breaks the law, as long as it does it safely.

Don't put off for 2025 what you can start today.
I'm gonna go work out lol

Tesla FSD needs a mode to tap the car in front of you and follow it. Visiting family in an unfamiliar city and V13 has done all of the driving… until I had to follow them.

Finished the first leg. Car took me from my garage in Colorado Springs to the parking spot NEXT to the supercharger in Trinidad without any other input. Obviously had to re-park but otherwise didn’t need to touch the wheel or pedals. Amazing!
Just got FSD v13.2.1 before heading on a 14 hour trip to Texas this morning. The timing is perfection!

Not only for having a better system for the trip but to test out just all kinds of unique situations that only occur once a year for me!

This election has me thinking - maybe nature is only capable of making beings JUST smart enough to be the bootloader for real intelligence(AI). Maybe that's why we don't hear from aliens - they are also all AIs and smart enough to only interact with other AIs.
Makes me want to write a story.

I know there is a lot of hate here for Elon's stuff, but we need to disconnect the man from the hard work of his engineers. This work is important to humanity, and hate doesn't belong at BlueSky. Go #SpaceX!

I’m out driving FSD 12.5.6.3(HW4)for the first time and wow. I didn’t think it was going to be this much better! Haven’t even done the highway part yet but braking is SO smooth. Render is SO static/smooth it’s almost eerie. No more stopping way before the line. Smarter lane changes. #tesla #fsd

I'm really enjoying it here!
Trying to dive into quality Tesla posts brings up a good reminder though - don't let this place become a source of misinformation and hate on the opposite end of the spectrum as the other place!

With all of the stuff going on over at X I decided to see what this place is like. Cool so far! Hope to find some of the same great communities here!
