🚨 In an effort to clarify some things about the Texas crash, we just tested Tesla Full Self-Driving’s behavior in a residential area + what happens if you compress the accelerator while on FSD Also some other thoughts on media headlines/responsibilities:
Yup. In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area. They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.

Never thought I'd live to see this sight. We have several drivers of large gas-guzzling pickup trucks and SUVs defending a Tesla location against (likely) climate change believers who wish to destroy an EV company. What timeline are we living in? 😆

🚨 Dan Ives of Wedbush has released a new note after riding in Tesla Robotaxis today in Austin: "This afternoon we attended Tesla's Robotaxi launch in Austin, TX and got the opportunity to take multiple rides in a Robotaxi. There was a Tesla Operator sitting in the front passenger seat of the Robotaxi, but they were not permitted to comment on anything nor did they influence the car in any way. Going into it, we expected to be impressed but walking away from it, all there is to say is that this is the future. We took two approximately 15 minute rides around Austin and the key takeaways are that it was a comfortable, safe, and personalized experience. The ride itself was completely smooth, and it was indistinguishable that the car was driverless as there was never a moment in the vehicle where we felt as if it did something irrational. The interior features two touchscreen panels: one in the front and one in the back row above the AC vent. The back row panel is able to integrate with the user's Tesla account and sync with their Robotaxi app and automatically loads the user's content onto a suite of apps including Apple Music, Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, Disney +, and more. We took a route through a park with dirt roads and traffic cones, yet the car was able to navigate perfectly and picked us up right at our exact location. To really put it into perspective, there was a moment where we drove up a narrow road going up a hill with cars parked on both sides with oncoming traffic and people opening their car doors into the road and the Robotaxi masterfully maneuvered with patience and safety among this chaos. We maintain our OUTPERFORM and $500 PT. The $1 trillion autonomous journey begins. Today's successful Robotaxi launch is really just the beginning of the Tesla AI story. The Robotaxi's we experienced today were foundational, and there is a path for the future where these Robotaxis may also have Grok integration, interior customization, and a much more user-centric focus as there's no longer a need to focus on the driver experience. Eventually, when there are enough Robotaxis out there, they may be able to communicate with each other and coordinate to offer an even more efficient travel experience. Overall, these Robotaxis exceeded our expectations and offered a seamless and personalized travel experience that has lit the spark for autonomous driving."

Brian Kilmeade calls for a pushback on the Tesla Takedown initiative. “Let’s all buy a Tesla.” It’d be funny if this ends up becoming the start of a buying spree of Teslas in the United States.

🚨 Tesla Diner food can be ordered from inside your vehicle! Additionally, audio from the movies playing on the two giant screens will come through your car!
According to someone who attended the Tesla Diner "test opening," you can conveniently order food right from your Tesla vehicle’s interface, while seamlessly listen to the audio from the massive jumbo screen through the same menu system. Meals arrive in a fun Cybertruck-shaped box, complete with wooden utensils styled like popsicle sticks but infused with a sleek cyber aesthetic. The food is served on sturdy metal trays, and kids get their own themed placemats. The bathrooms feature luxurious Toto toilets, and an elevator ensures easy access throughout the space. You’ll also find a selection of Tesla Diner merchandise, including shirts, hats, and more, plus a captivating display case showcasing Optimus. There are 80 V4 superchargers onsite. Pretty impressive!
