““At Tesla, using AI to solve self-driving isn’t just icing on the cake, it the cake” - @lexfridman Join AI at Tesla! It reports directly to me & we meet/email/text almost every day. My actions, not just words, show how critically I view (benign) AI. https://t.co/iF97zvYZRz https://www.tesla.com/autopilotAI”

“True [@HCGNYC] @WR4NYGov The word 'funding' in and of itself is disingenuous. SpaceX bids for service contracts. They typically have offered the most compelling cost and delivery and yet our feckless Gov still awards contracts to SpaceX competitors. Tesla is the most American made autos, will soon also…)”
“Try it out! [@Tesla] FSD Supervised enables your Tesla to drive you to your destination, find a free spot & park itself All on its own”
“😎 [@AIDRIVR] FSD 14 first impressions: the good: - destination options are incredible and very well done. parking has been fast and flawless so far, zero corrections and right between the lines. also pulls into the driveways of houses very reliably and actually parks itself, feels like the”
“Love that people are buying a Tesla for the product itself, even if they don’t believe in climate change. Not everyone can be convinced about global warming, but if an electric car is simply the best product, they don’t need to be.”
“Tesla is the leader in real-world AI [@teslaownersSV] Elon Musk on Waymo vs Tesla “The Tesla solution, which is a much more difficult path to go but ultimately much more powerful, is a general solution to self-driving. The Tesla software is purely AI and vision. It doesn't rely on any expensive sensors, no lidars, no radars. It… https://x.com/i/web/status/2003964681367724196”
“Version 14 of Tesla self-driving feels sentient [@ray4tesla] William Blair analyst is impressed by his Robotaxi rides and says “felt a lot more like a person was driving it” while Waymo rides still feel somewhat robotic.”
“The best real-world AI is @Tesla_AI. You can sense the sentience. [@bradsferguson] NVIDIA’s Director of Robotics comments on Tesla Self Driving v14 describes FSD as… “an AI that passes the Physical Turing Test” “magical””
“@cb_doge Tesla self-driving is by far the most advanced real world AI”
“Buying a car in 2019 that can’t upgrade to full self-driving is like buying a horse instead of a car in 1919 https://t.co/oEjXdmyJiJ https://cleantechnica.com/2019/04/14/the-mystery-of-tesla-model-3-demand/”
“Please note that the price of the Tesla Full Self-Driving option will increase substantially over time”

“Tesla self-driving is incredible [@SawyerMerritt] Review of @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the WSJ: "Driving has always felt like a chore to me. The first time I let the vehicle (Model Y) take control, something shifted. As the car guided itself through traffic, I felt tension melt away. A few days before the federal EV tax credit… https://x.com/i/web/status/1996608612047671520”
“@farzyness Exactly. This will greatly increase public awareness that a Tesla can drive itself (supervised for now).”

“RT @Tesla: World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away…”
“Tesla self-driving [@HansCNelson] Had my first LOOONG road trip experience on V14 over the past week. It drove over 99.9% of all the miles for the whole trip. Holy smokes. It was so good! I don't care how fast an ICE car can fuel up. I NEVER want to drive that far without @tesla FSD again.”
“@OwenSparks_ Tentatively, June 22. We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift. First Tesla that drives itself from factory end of line all the way to a customer house is June 28.”
“Great Q&A @defcon last night. Thanks for helping make Tesla & SpaceX more secure! Planning to open-source Tesla vehicle security software for free use by other car makers. Extremely important to a safe self-driving future for all.”
“Cost of Tesla full self-driving option increasing by ~$1000 on August 16”
“@yunta_tsai Tesla AI is where the rubber hits the road. “Make no mistakes” is not just a meme joke for self-driving AI. Tesla AI saves lives every day, at large scale. No other AI team can yet make that claim.”
“Note, no one is in the car or controlling remotely. Car is driving entirely by itself. https://t.co/xSG2Mmy756 https://x.com/tesla/status/1014515503740567553”

“@truth_tesla @veespike @HillaryClinton @Twitter ?? Sussmann himself admitted billing Clinton Campaign to pay for him to present Russia hoax to FBI! This is not even questioned by the defense. Btw, I donated to & voted for Hillary, so am doubly pissed off about those funds being used for lying. https://t.co/PtFgYzpXQN https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-16/elon-musk-helps-california-rank-no-1-for-hillary-clinton-fundraising”
“@comma_ai Tesla Full Self-Driving will work at a safety level well above that of the average driver this year, of that I am confident. Can’t speak for regulators though.”
“Longer version of self-driving demo with Paint It Black soundtrack https://t.co/YuUmyEaCgR https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware-neighborhood-long?redirect=no”
“@BLKMDL3 Haha, FSD 9 beta is shipping soon, I swear! Generalized self-driving is a hard problem, as it requires solving a large part of real-world AI. Didn’t expect it to be so hard, but the difficulty is obvious in retrospect. Nothing has more degrees of freedom than reality.”
“We took the SpaceX/Tesla Hyperloop pusher pod for a spin by itself a few days ago to see what it… https://t.co/4hr1yN37he https://www.instagram.com/p/BYckipugds5/”
“@imPenny2x AI4 by itself will achieve self-driving safety levels very far above human. AI5 will make the cars almost perfect and greatly enhance Optimus. AI6 will be for Optimus and data centers. AI7/Dojo3 will be space-based AI compute.”
“The FSD price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval. It that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.”
“As mentioned before, Tesla full self-driving option price will increase after May 1. You can order online at https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr. http://Tesla.com”
“@WholeMarsBlog This variant of the Model Y doesn’t start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America.”
“@rough__sea Yes. Optimus will be the first Von Neumann machine, capable of building civilization by itself on any viable planet.”

“RT @matt_vanswol: I took delivery of my new @Tesla Model Y on Thursday. Today, I tried Full Self-Driving (FSD) and it FLAWLESSLY drove a…”
“Anyone who purchased full self-driving will get FSD computer upgrade for free. This is the only change between Autopilot HW2.5 & HW3. Going forward “HW3” will just be called FSD Computer, which is accurate. No change to vehicle sensors or wire harness needed. This is v important.”
“Tesla will soon have over a million connected vehicles worldwide with sensors & compute needed for full self-driving, which is orders of magnitude more than everyone else combined, giving you the best possible dataset to work with”

“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”
“@PeterSweden7 Then the battery packs of the busses are too small. Teslas can operate well even above the Arctic Circle. Also, busses will not be needed when Tesla rolls out unsupervised full self-driving, as they will take people point to point for a similar cost to a bus ticket.”
“@teslaownerssv It will get absurdly good. Tesla AI/Autopilot engineering is awesome! There’s some great AI out there, but can it self-drive while playing Cyberpunk … ?”
“@WholeMarsBlog They will switch from claiming that Tesla self-driving is fake to Tesla self-driving is unfairly good”
