Imagine being an adult and so mentally feeble that you’d let someone manipulate you into vandalizing a Tesla with 9 cameras and sentry mode.

Today I went with my friends to test drive a Tesla Model X. Here’s one experiencing FSD for the first time: 45 unregretted user seconds of joy and amazement.

Time to think differently about Tesla FSD.
* I like to drive *
* I’m not giving up control *
* I don’t see the value *
Try instead:
* Elderly maintaining independence *
* The end of drunk driving *
* Freedom for the disabled *
Remember it’s not all about you, all the time.

Tesla is built different. Yesterday my dad and I attended a big opening party in Plano, TX for the newest area Service Center and Gallery.
Among the many displays and activities, they had an "Ask a Tech" table set up where you could, well, ask a tech.
My Dad had been having a GPS Accuracy issue with his Model Y for the past few weeks, so we spoke with these gentlemen about it.
After the tech explained some GPS basics such as antenna location and calibration, he asked if my Dad had anything attached to his USB ports.
My Dad had just added another hub recently (he loves to have a million devices) and thought the issue may have started around that time.
Apparently, an unshielded USB accessory can cause interference with the GPS system, among other things.
The tech suggested disconnecting the USB accessories and performing a soft two-button reset. Sure enough, it worked and the GPS accuracy issue was fixed.
They also had stations for DIY demos for wiper changes, air filters, and detailing in addition to vehicle demos, food, and adoptable dogs from a local pet shelter.
We saw a small light show, petted some dogs, drove a Cybertruck, talked to lots of awesome employees, and had a great time.
And best of all we avoided a service visit for what ended up being a simple but perplexing GPS issue. Time well spent!
We're also having a big opening party in Plano if you'd like to swing by

I just took four coworkers to lunch in my Model S - FSD door-to-door.
They were all gobsmacked and won’t stop talking about it, and now productivity is way down this afternoon.
Note to self - next time, give FSD demo drives at the END of the day.

A guy stopped by my office yesterday, one I had not seen in a while. This guy works at a huge tech firm that we contract with.
I have a Cybertruck model and Time Magazine with Elon on the cover over in the corner of my office. He asked if I had a Cybertruck.
I pointed out the window at my Model S, and he asked how I liked it. I told him ‘Well it drove me to work today’ - want to see?
I pulled up my last full drive and showed him the video, he was dumbfounded. ‘When I come back next week can I have a ride’ he asked.
Not an unusual story, but it reminded me how so many people outside our sphere do know about Tesla Full Self Driving, even ‘tech bros’.
I’ll record the drive next week because this week he didn’t even know it existed and next week he’s going to have his mind blown.

I had a coworker stop by my desk today and ask, “Hey Tim, is that your red Tesla in the parking lot?”
I replied yes. He said he was interested in getting one, had been doing some reading, and was not sure what to believe. Of particular interest were FSD and some of the car's safety features.
I said, “How about I just show you?” So we went down to the lot for a quick overview.
He asked some more about FSD, so I said, “How about we just try it?”. We jumped in, and I had the car drive us around the block (navigated home, then canceled after it left, and navigated back to work.
Guys, the look on his face as he said, “That’s amazing. “This is incredible. “This is nothing like my wife’s Mercedes.” He understood it still needed to be supervised, but he wanted it for rush hour traffic specifically.
I told him, “We in the Tesla community like to say butts in seats, and now you know why.” We ended the drive, and I texted him my referral code along with an ASS video and let him know I’d be happy to answer questions anytime.
I will let you all know if I see that referral order, but we have another fan after today regardless.

I'm amazed people will avoid an EV becuase they take long trips 2X a year, yet stop weekly for gas (waiting in long Costco lines to save a buck) when you can easily charge at home. Then there's the time wasted on emissions inspections, oil changes, etc. There's no range issue with EVs, but there is a mindset shift required in that you almost never need to go from fully empty to full.

Dealerships are bandits and thieves, plain and simple. Arguing that the dealership model is better is just ridiculous.
Tesla’s direct-to-consumer model is leaving many drivers in frustration.
Don Hall, CEO of the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association, breaks down why the franchise system still protects the customer.
"The truth of the matter is this: we live in your communities, we're part of your communities, we've been around for generations, and we give a damn about our communities."
"The fact of matter is that Tesla's model is not a model that gives you the kind of buying experience that you're entitled to and should have."
"With franchise system, you got a choice, and you got a lot of folks who will compete and will do whatever it takes to earn your business and trust."

Road & Track states that charging an EV poses a health hazard due to the presence of tire particles and brake dust in the air. Let me head over to the gas station instead, where the toxic gasoline fumes can overwhelm the other pollutants, making it a much healthier option.

I love to drive, especially my Tesla. And yesterday I had a great drive until I hit a wall of traffic.
I let FSD take over for 10 minutes while I sat back and relaxed. When traffic cleared, I grabbed the wheel and resumed driving.
FSD isn’t about giving up control. It’s about giving up the stress and strain that ruins a drive.

EV Haters: I caN Pump GAs in 5 MINuTeS!
You also have increased maintenance, exhaust sound/smells, engine heat, vibrations, drivetrain lag, a higher center of gravity increasing rollover risk, and poor acceleration relative to cost.
But yes you can pump gas fast in the heat.

There are a lot of people who think other auto manufacturers are nipping at Tesla’s heels when it comes to FSD.
So, a challenge:
Come on down to Dallas and have your vehicle, from any manufacturer, make the 30-minute commute from my home to my office like FSD does.
I’ll wait.

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, and Ram, claims to have solved Level 3 autonomous driving (full self-driving) or FSD.
However, as the market is not ready for such amazing technology, they are not releasing it at this time. Are you kidding me? 🤣
“The technology is fully developed and ready for deployment, however, the current market for Level 3 autonomous driving is very limited. We have made the strategic decision not to launch it at this time.
Once the market opens up and becomes more receptive, we will move forward with introducing this advanced technology.” - Stellantis company spokesperson Dan Reid
Claims by legacy automakers about level 3 autonomous driving are a joke. No one has anything even close to Tesla's AI-trained FSD.

I distinctly knew the age of the ICE vehicle was over the moment I drove my first Tesla. Note: I said drove my first Tesla, not my first ride in a Tesla.
My Dad purchased a Model S back in 2017. It was a Metallic Blue 75 RWD. The sleekness, quality, software, and screens were impressive. Autopilot was amazing at the time.
But not impressive enough for me to connect the dots. Until one day, when he needed to borrow our SUV for a few days, he offered me his Tesla in exchange.
That’s when it all changed. The literal lightbulb moment. Sitting in the driver's seat and experiencing the lagless drivetrain, visceral power, lack of shifting , and overall handling, to name a few.
Then reality hits. Gas cars are obsolete. Not obsolete in that EVs are 100% able to replace them, or that everyone should run and buy one, but the future was crystal clear.
Fast forward to 2025, and most of my family and extended family are in Teslas. Not sold by some fancy marketing or advertising campaign, but by butts in seats and word of mouth.
If you have never actually driven a Tesla, manually or on FSD, I’m sorry, but you just don’t understand. This is not an exercise in spec comparisons and use cases.
Why are so many Tesla owners passionate about the vehicles? Because it’s not just the vehicles, it's the overall experience. Go get yourself in the driver's seat, and then you’ll get it too.

Yes, you can pump gas in 5 minutes while traveling long distances. Your gasoline-powered car is also noisy, vibrates, has tremendous drive train lag, generates poisonous fumes, requires more maintenance, has a higher center of gravity, is more likely to catch fire, and cannot be refueled at home. I'll take the occasional wait times at chargers only while traveling.
