I don't think it cost Tesla a bunch of money or time to push out a free 30 day demo to everyone. If anything, it has probably been a net positive with all of the new data and input they are getting from the fleet. I assume they will likely provide free demos again as new features get added or...

I really enjoyed using FSD on my weekly trip to our LA office yesterday. I have been doing the same route for the last 2+ years using autopilot (which is great) - but the lane changing with FSD took it to a whole new level IMO. I went 190 miles round trip driveway to parking lot without any...

I got one of those too. I convinced one of my surfing buddies to get a Model Y last year and he was aware of the free FSD trial but thought it was only for freeways. His trial expired a few weeks ago and I just got mine last weekend and blew him away driving surface streets to Costco and...

There is probably more than one Ross Gerber with the institutional shareholders.

Same here. I got the update Friday night and have been driving around all week running errands without a single safety disengagement. Only a couple disengagements due to navigation not taking my preferred routes. The more I drive it the more familiar and comfortable it gets. I also give it a...

Seems like all of my kids' friends in High School are HUGE Tesla fans and they are losing their minds over Cybertruck sightings. Some of my work colleagues in places like Montana, Idaho and Utah are giving Tesla a second look because of Cybertruck and they like Elon Musk. So I'm not too...

I got my update late Friday night and have been using it all weekend. Virtually every single drive has been free of interventions. Absolutely no safety interventions, just one bad navigation decision and I sometimes give it a little throttle where it is being too cautious at stop signs during...

I got mine from here. They look great! https://rimetrix.com/

Same here. Downloading now. Taking it out for a spin tonight.

My co-worker in Oregon was on 8.9 and got his update this morning and is loving it so far. I just checked my car and it says I am up to date as of right now and still stuck on 8.9. Hopefully by this weekend....

My co-worker in Oregon was stuck on 8.9 and just got the update and free trial this morning on his Model Y. He purchased a month of the old FSD last year and said this new version is light years better. He said he plans on subscribing after just an hour of driving around this morning.

That is pretty weak of Tesla. Especially since you paid for it. I'm stuck on 8.9 and don't mind having to wait longer - provided I still get a free trial. But sure wish they would communicate something.

I have loads of German relatives and have visited the country several times. Was shocked the last time I went to Frankfurt for a train connection, thought I stopped in Riyadh.

How clueless does one have to be? Based on the downvote I got, at least one TMC contributor seems more upset that I called out this garbage than upset at the garbage people out protesting Jews at a European death camp.

Reminder that a big chunk of the pro-Palestinian protesters are absolute dirt-bag anti-Semites. Now they are protesting at Auschwitz? For real?

Just more stalling. Hamas has not run anything through Israel - so no clue what the conditions are.

Nearly half the protesters arrested in New York are not students. Same type of anarchists that were burning our cities down exploiting the death of George Floyd in 2020. How stupid are these people? Other than full on anti-Semites and Islamists, who do they think they are winning over by...

Right - the Palestinian Authority is so cooperative, they can't even be bothered to change their genocidal and anti-Semitic children's textbooks brainwashing their future generations to all consuming Jew hatred. Not talking about Hamas here, but the so called moderate Palestinian Authority...

I dunno - after witnessing over half a century of Palestinians starting and failing numerous terrorist campaigns now bringing absolute ruin to places like Gaza, I have a hard time seeing any real advantages of Arabs in the West Bank continuing to refuse to negotiate. Sure sounds like you are...

It's a rough business urban fighting. Especially a group like Hamas that purposefully uses civilians as shields and spent the last 15+ years turning Gaza into a fighting fortress. The IDF can go house to house and tunnel to tunnel (as they have been doing) and destroying buildings and tunnels...

Another Hamas lie debunked “Mass Graves”, and the usual suspects just slink off and wait for the next bit of excrement to throw against the wall to see what sticks. They fall for every bit of Palestinian propaganda and ludicrously stretch and bend language “Genocide” to heap scorn on the Jews...

Columbia protest leader: ‘Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists’ https://thehill.com/homenews/education/4624467-columbia-university-protests-pro-palestinian-video-student/ THIS is the guy (or girl?) that Columbia University is negotiating with. If these anti-Semites...

Here is one of the "leaders" of the Columbia protests. This is who the administration is negotiating with. Many people in the West have gone absolutely insane!

Tough tactics? With the exception of Texas and Florida, virtually all the other universities are rolling over and giving these protestors free reign. USC just cancelled graduation for cripes sakes! Columbia had to go to remote learning for the rest of the year because they can't control their...

Because the young and stupid are absolutely young and stupid? Have you seen or listened to any of these protesters? The ones that are not outright Islamists or anti-Semites calling for the total destruction of Israel are just totally clueless like these two dumb girls and couldn't find Israel...

Yep. It wasn't but just a few years ago that Obama and Biden were chastising Mitt Romney for calling out Russia's threat - with Obama famously saying in a debate "Mitt - the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back". Many of the Republicans that voted against Ukrainian aid are not...

I think a single person could easily manage a fleet of over 100 RT's coming in throughout an 8 hour shift to charge and basic cleaning. There will have to be some brick and mortar yards where there will be some humans involved in maintaining the fleet.

As well as seemingly crediting Islamists when they fail to drive up the death count as if it was intended. Each (of the tens of thousands) of rockets, missiles and drones fired into Israel from Iran, Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen had the goal of killing Israelis.

Only if you totally absolve Iran's involvement with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis who have killed and/or displaced thousands of Israelis.

Setting Joe Rogan straight on the preposterous “genocide” claim.

Hamas can’t confirm over 1/3 of the deaths they claim.

I pay $0.14 kWh with SDG&E for off peak with their EV plan. I have to pay an additional $15/month to be on the plan and my peak rate is over $0.80 kWh! I’m always chasing after kids turning off lights during peak hours!

Because Biden is our president and has been absolutely awful on a variety of foreign policy issues by staffing our State and Defense departments with people like Wallander. Biden doesn’t want the price of energy to increase even further and hurt his reelection chances in November.

At worst, how expensive would it be to hire a person to manage plugging in at existing Superchargers or dedicated robo-taxi yards? I figure a single person could manage the daily charging needs of 100+ robotaxis over an 8 hour shift if there are enough chargers.

I don't think Elon has shifted either. I think Elon truly believes what he says on Twitter. Lots of people on this site constantly say Elon's politics is hurting demand. Anecdotally, I have personally experienced the opposite where conservative co-workers and acquaintances reconsider Teslas...

Yet some people on this site who appear to be committed to the "mission" seem upset or baffled that Elon is courting Conservatives?

I can't imagine they would end all of the trials on April 30th giving some people shorter times to evaluate the product. I just forced my car to do another software check and it still has me at 8.7 saying I am up to date.

All the more reason for Elon to focus and win over this group to gain their trust instead of just preaching to the choir. Tesla will never be successful in the "mission" if they outright ignore the other half the population. Especially when this half of the population tends to drive the...

I dunno about that. Especially after last week. Israel is just going to wait Biden out. Robert Gates (Defense Secretary for both Republicans and Democrats) famously said that Joe Biden has been wrong about every major foreign policy issue over the past 40 years. Watching Biden dither on both...

Somehow I am reminded of this classic Seinfeld episode.

I am in the same boat with my 2022 MY. My co-worker in Oregon with a 2023 MY is stuck on that version too. I have USS, he doesn't.

IRT - Elon's politics and demand. I guess the question is - is there a larger market of disgruntled Liberals who are willing to buy inferior (and more expensive?) EV's to spite Elon than there is an untapped market of EV skeptical Conservatives who like Elon's politics? There are no doubt some...

Polls are polls. Here is the Harvard Harris poll from a few weeks ago. Not surprising that some support for Israel is softening with all of the abuse they are taking from Biden, Democrats and partisan Media who only seem to judge and make demands of Israel (and none of Hamas) as they try to...

What is Haaretz editorializing that Netanyahu should do differently? Make major defense policy decisions based on the views of the radicals, anti-Semites and young and stupid Tik Tok brigades that are taking over the left? The anti-Israeli extremists were out in force making a mess of Biden’s...

If Hamas was using the aid shipments to launch rockets into Egypt and was holding 100+ Egyptians hostage - I suspect Egypt would require rigorous inspection of the aid just as Israel does.

There are no Jews to blame, so naturally the anti-Semites who are going bonkers over Gaza have no opinions on the matter.

Millions of people in Europe and Europe's former colonies in Asia and Africa got raw deals after WWII. Some deserved it, other didn't. Hundreds of millions around the world were relocated (i.e. "ethnically cleansed") to account for the new realities on the ground or to escape religious...

Democrats control 2/3 of the Federal government. Most Republicans in the Senate support Ukraine funding and Republicans hold a tiny majority in the House. Biden and the Democrats could have compromised much more on the border security - but they didn't giving Republicans a handy excuse...

Of course, literally right under UNRWA's nose.

The IDF rescued two hostages today as they make their final push into Rafah.
