Elon,
I’m getting a lot of questions from HW3 Tesla owners about what’s going to happen to them… and honestly, I understand why there’s so many questions.
These are the people who paid the most for FSD early on. They believed in the vision before it was proven, and in many ways, they helped fund and validate the entire FSD program when it was still very early and uncertain.
It would mean a lot to get some clarity for them.
There should be something for HW3 owners who supported FSD at the highest price and stuck with Tesla from the beginning.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Donald Trump forced out a respected U.S. Attorney because they wouldn't go along with Trump’s demands for political prosecutions.
Less than a week later, his inexperienced handpicked successor brings charges against a member of Trump's enemies list.
In my almost six years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I never witnessed such a blatant abuse of the department.
The DOJ is now little more than an arm of the president’s retribution campaign.

@teslasi FSD 2024.27.10: Nasty bug: Drive West, sun in your eyes and pull down the visor. The car trained me to keep my hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. FSD puts up a small message on screen with no sound warning. I don't look. Car gets mad. Rinse and repeat. I get mad!

I don't ask me for much, but I'd love @danhuot to mark Booster 12's catch with this on the SpaceX commentary 😅

I agree with the statement that begins “Every step that you add in the process…” for vaccine uptake it’s typically essential to make it easy/breezy. From my experience, once you start to make immunizations fussy or complicated, vaccine coverage declines pretty quickly.
For uninsured and underinsured Americans, the Covid vaccine just got significantly more expensive.

Even before Covid, Trump sent the deficit soaring over a trillion dollars. After Covid, it hit more than $3T. @Morning_Joe
If I had the chance and or inclination to do things over, the system would be entirely different. Nothing that they've done would really get in the way of what I've had in mind. All these UI systems are fundamentally missing the concept that everything should be network-centric.

A much appreciated official statement:
There is no emergency situation going on aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was aired on the NASA livestream from a simulation audio channel on the ground indicating a crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently misrouted from an ongoing simulation where crew members and ground teams train for various scenarios in space and is not related to a real emergency. The International Space Station crew members were in their sleep period at the time. All remain healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will start at 8 a.m. EDT as planned.
