A lot of us clean energy proponents are so disappointed with Elon Musk lately that we would like to sell our Teslas to make a statement. However, as a retired person, I don’t have the money to do that. My 2019 Tesla Model 3 has nearly 150,000 miles on it … [continued]
A couple of weeks ago, I came across a very interesting article at Electrek that’s worth talking about. In it, Fred Lambert (a man who has become a target for Tesla Stan hatred in recent years), discusses something kind of crazy that happened when the Stans tried to defend a … [continued]

From the immortal humorous lyrics of Shania Twain, my evaluation of FSD Supervised V12.6.3 (2024.45.32.15): That Don’t Impress Me Much! I’ve been driving with and obsessively using Tesla’s artificial intelligence software in my Model 3 now for over 5 years and nearly 150,000 miles, both on Interstate highways and city … [continued]

Yesterday, I wrote about Elon Musk’s long history predicting robotaxi-capable Tesla Autopilot/Full Self Driving. We then got another update from Tesla, stating: “2025 will be a seminal year in Tesla’s history as FSD (Supervised) continues to rapidly improve with the aim of ultimately exceeding human levels of safety. This will … [continued]
One of the more wild claims Elon Musk has made — regarding Tesla, that is — was back in 2016 when he said a self-driving Tesla would be able to go from Los Angeles to New York City “in ~2 years” (in early 2018). A year and a few months … [continued]
Tesla has tweeted out that its vehicles are now driving themselves — using Full Self Driving (Unsupervised) — from the factory where they are produced in California to the loading dock lanes where they will get put onto semi trucks and taken away. You can watch videos of that here: … [continued]
