Noone is waking you for your stop lol.

This seems like a cool app. A bus route aware, "wake me 3 minutes before my stop" vibrate app.

You can do this pretty easily with the Shortcuts app built in to iOS. I have a flow to text my friend whenever I'm near their house.

AI model improvements: * Optimus cannot say bad things about Elon Musk anymore. * Added support for Donald Trump. * Added support for The Boring Company flamethrower. * Advertising for Dogecoin.

* ChatGPT will now cite Elon Musk tweets as a source for 50% of questions.

Twitter as ultimate source of truth

I still can't believe FSD Beta was allowed on public roads. I've had it since day 1, and oh my god. It behaves worse than a drunk teenager. All the updates since, have made it barely better. This needs to be pulled entirely and rethought.

I beta test regularly in Vancouver BC on my Model S LR. My experience is the polar opposite to yours. It's surprising (on the good side) and has improved immensely in the past 12 months. It does not need to be rethought imo. Obviously your opinion is valid, but it's not consensus.

It seems like there is a huge disconnect between people who know about FSD from using it and people who know about FSD from things they read on the internet. I have FSD, I use it every single day. I love it. If every car on the road had this the road would be a substantially safer place.

Ditto. Most fun I've had in a vehicle in my whole life. A robot drives me around every day, and the worst misfeatures are that it's too timid at stop signs and left turns, makes poor lane choices sometimes (oops, can't turn, will go around), occasionally zipper merges like a jerk (yes, technically you can use that lane, but if you try you'll get honked at -- car doesn't care).

But the company is run by an asshole who people love to hate, so... everything it does is Maximally Wrong. There's no space for reasoned discourse like "FSD isn't finished but it's very safe as deployed and amazingly fun". It's all about murder and death and moral absolutism. The internet is a terrible place, but I guess we knew that already. At least in the meantime we have a fun car to play with.

That's 4-5B USD worth of fraud. This thing could actually be quite dangerous for TSLA. One class-action lawsuit around this and they're bankrupt. Edit: Dang, you're all right, they could eat this and still be alive. My whole sentiment comes from FSD being their big shot (and everything that comes with that, like the robotaxis and whatnot). Without FSD, they're "just another car company" and the market is already thri…

That’s not how the law works.

Do you have the latest beta? How did it improve in the last 12 months?

That other drivers are beta testers for software controlling a large mass of metal and combustibles hurtling down asphalt at _ludicrous_ speeds is something you'd write into a dystopia story. The fact of the fiction is terrifying.

It’s a choice, you are in control all the time.

yeah, I don't believe you. I use it every day and have been for over a year and it's been awesome.

Hell, right now I'd pay a few bucks to disable AP so I could use the old school cruise control. I still don't understand Tesla's opposition for making that an option whether you have AP or not.

Teslas don't have cruise control ?! The arrogance...

They do.
