20 years ago & 1 year after SpaceX was incorporated,
@elonmusk
made his 1st public speech on the mission of the company. We can see today things are unfolding as planned. Elon is a true visionary & keeps us excited about the future.
This is a good example of Tesla’s active safety feature. Tesla driver didn’t see a jaywalker due to lighting until getting real close, leaving him no time to respond. Fortunately, Tesla safety system detected & then intervened by driving around to avoid hitting the pedestrian.
This is how LI Auto’s FSD-like system works in heavy rain. Public release will start in June. It’s mostly vision-based computing platform. Current setup still includes LiDAR for redundancy. LiDAR will be phased out in future vehicle models.
Tencent Auto Editor in chief 常岩is the first one in 🇨🇳 to test drive China-made
#Model3
. As a model 3 owner himself (delivered back in March), he has a lot to say about the good qualities of his test vehicle. It handles well, smooth, quick, and noticeably quiet. He is impressed.
I’ve noticed this Tesla owner behavior for a long time. I took my family out for lunch today. Our Model X was the only Tesla in the parking lot when we arrived at the restaurant. By the time we were about to leave, I saw a few other Teslas right next to ours. Tesla owners tend to…
A Chinese Tesla owner posted this video, showing his car badly damaged in rollover accident. He & his dog walked away unscathed. This accident was caused by driver error. He praised the safety of his car & plans to buy another Tesla.
This is the 1st 🇨🇳 Tesla owner I’ve ever seen who openly admits she hit a truck because she mistakenly stepped on accelerator instead of brake, damaging the crumble zone. Reporters approached her & suggested it was a brake failure. She rejected the claim. Her accident went viral…
🇨🇳 Tesla owner had a scary near miss moment when a kid was ruining towards the middle of the street from the front of a parked vehicle. AP was not e engaged but Tesla’ s active safety feature pulled the vehicle to the right a bit to avoid hitting the kid. Owner said he was in…
BREAKING: Tesla Supercharger Factory now officially starts operation today. The project was proposed in Aug 2020, soon followed by construction. This factory, located a couple of km away from Giga Shanghai, is designed to crank out 10k V3 Supercharger units annually.
In this viral video from China showing multiple-car crash, MIC Model Y is the only vehicle that came to complete stop while every other car experienced “brake failure”.
@elonmusk
Tesla owner claimed she experienced brake malfunction, saying her foot was firmly on the brake pedal, the car still crept forward, slightly rear ended the front vehicle, until someone watched the clip & noticed something not right….
I’m hearing a lot of comments about how Elon’s political views are driving potential customers away & some even canceled their orders. Sure Elon’s opinions may get some people pissed off & alienated. They may ditch the brand for that reason.
However, the fact is the purchase…
🇨🇳 owner is thankful for his Tesla successfully avoiding a near-miss horrific accident. A kid on scooter showed up in his path all of sudden & AEB kicked in before he was able to react. He couldn’t imagine outcome if driving other 🚗. Read Google translation👇

Model 3 was speeding at 4am in Chengdu, China & driver lost control, knocking down a tree & a light pole. Driver & passengers all walked away unharmed. Incredible.
Incredible to see Jeff Bezos returned back to Twitter 18 months after the last tweet just to congratulate

@SpaceX
. He didn’t even tweet about his own space flight launched in July.
Tesla rewrote its FSD neural network software using Transformer algorithm in 2021. Then Chinese competitors did the same with Transformer:
2022: Xpeng
2023: LI Auto, NIO, Huawei
Coincidence? I think not. All of them got cues from Tesla AI day and the progress of FSD. Fair to…
Lin Bin is co-founder and vice chairman of Xiaomi. He came to America to personally experience FSD and here is his feedback based on his first test drive on April 26, 2024:
“Just went to the Tesla store to experience the FSD v12. Started from the parking lot, went onto the…

Breaking news: Non-Tesla car catches fire in China. According to Chinese media, a BMW523 bursts into flames 🔥 on its own today on a local freeway in Hangzhou. Can this video go viral? Of course not because it’s not a Tesla. Cars catch fire in China everyday.
@elonmusk
@Tesla
This clip went viral on 🇨🇳 social media. The lead vehicle is also a Model Y. All of sudden it went off road & rushed down a long slope. MY structure remained intact & driver walked away unscathed. Without the owner coming forward to tell what really happened, this would have been…
Today I went to Tesla store in Buena Park, CA to check out Cybertruck. This is 3rd time to have close observation of this vehicle. 1st time at the unveil event 4 years ago. 2nd time at Petersen Automotive Museum.
I can honestly tell you the build quality is amazing even though…
Li Xiang, ceo of LI Auto, thinks Tesla’s FSD is a true mass data-driven AI computing platform & is in the right direction for full self driving. He commends Tesla’s advantages in HW setup, cost, scalability, AI OS, mass data collection, model training, algorithm. Sounds like LI…

Dan,
I took a few screenshots from your video. Can you tell me what the blurry message under the visualization says? I also took a picture of my Model X display while FSD was engaged. When I pressed accelerator pedal to override the system, I got a warning message.

@Tesla
Full Self-Driving. 6 months ago we reported FSD would run down a child. Tesla hasn't even fixed that! To focus their attention,
@NHTSAgov
must turn off FSD until Tesla fixes all safety defects.
1st time to experience V12.3 today. My initial takeaway: passengers wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s driven by a human or robot. A gigantic leap forward from V11.
Last night I stopped at a red light. Then I felt a jolt. Looking at the rear view mirror, I saw a SUV right behind me and I realized my car was rear ended. I then signaled the driver to pull over.
After brief examination, I spotted a minor dent and a couple of scratches on the…
Tesla CN is doing a great job to demonstrate why Tesla is made safe, using different grades of steel & aluminum to safeguard structural integrity. Narrated by a Tesla engineer, videos like this carry more substance for dissemination on social media. This is an example of good…

Seeing a 🚴♀️ in a narrow bicycle lane, FSD Beta moves my Tesla to the far left of the lane to create a safe gap. Then move back to the center after leaving the 🚴♀️ behind. Trolls keep saying FSD Beta is unsafe & may run over ppl. In reality, it’s extremely safe & overly cautious.
In Lex Fridman podcast, Elon repeats his early prediction that electricity shortage will happen in 2 years. In order for everything to go electric, electricity output needs to be tripled. I wonder what electricity companies are doing now to get ready for massive EV adoption in…
Unreliable and unsafe? I’ve driven my Tesla exclusively for almost 9 years. Never got stranded & never been in unsafe situations. Been to many remote national parks.
@CNBC
needs to stop repeating the lies from this 0-star rated “analyst”.
Can you believe there’re 12 cafes at Giga Shanghai? The biggest one is more like a food court, capable of providing 3200 meals during each meal time. It even has a coffee shop and KFC. All meals are on Tesla.
This former Tesla FSD engineer thinks V12 end-to-net approach is very promising and he is very confident that Tesla’s FSD ChatGPT moment will come based on his understanding and experience of testing V12. Once completely solved, FSD will have huge implications on AV industry and…
Pretty sure people at Xpeng, Li, NIO, or even Huawei watched closely

If you get out of a Tesla in a hurry, mistakingly thinking it’s in park mode while still in drive mode, you’ll be ok cuz once you unbuckle the seat belt & your butt detaches from the seat, the vehicle will automatically switch to park mode. Run-away mode is unavailable for Tesla.

@elonmusk
is out again, wishing you happy Chinese New Year, good health, dreams come true and live a long life. He forgot to say another popular CNY saying: Gong Xi Fa Cai (wish you make a good fortune). 😆😆😆
Chinese owner posted a video of her Model Y coming to a halt due to the sudden braking of the vehicle in the front, resulting in 3 car collisions. Model Y suffered relatively minor damage. The other 2 cars were later towed away. Good product speaks for itself.
