What if they just serve us; all the time, everywhere? It doesn't make a scary Hollywood movie, but it would be wonderful. This is among the possibilities.

Understanding the Monty Python “Let’s Make a Deal” problem. Three doors. One car. You pick a door, and the host opens another to show a goat. Should you switch? Yes. Switching means betting your first pick was wrong, and your first pick is wrong 2 times out of 3.

The race toward Superintelligence (SI) is a race to generate electricity. Data centers need enormous amounts of power faster than the electrical grid can deliver it. That means building off-grid power generation using natural gas turbines. Elon Musk identified a bottleneck: the turbine blades. Manufacturers can deliver virtually the entire turbine 12 to 18 months before these critical components are available. Only a few companies have the specialized casting technology needed. SpaceX is applying its advanced rocket-engine casting expertise to producing turbine blades internally, with the goal of bringing gigawatts of power online up to 18 months sooner. In the race toward SI, something as small as a turbine blade is a crucial factor in how fast the future arrives.

Any pilot could start on his tail. Within 40 seconds, John Boyd would have him in his gunsight. By most accounts, he never lost. Then he helped give us the F-16 and the OODA loop: whoever thinks and acts faster wins. Self-driving cars echo it today.

That's a lot of us, but not as many as needs be.

A good report on Cybertruck battery degradation.

What happens to the value of a car that still needs a driver? The market won't value automobiles according to yesterday's capabilities for long as more buyers experience Full Self-Driving. The automobile industry is heading toward the biggest depreciation slide in its history. The only question is how fast.

The most expensive word in the automotive industry: No.

Crystal Ball Optimus.

The best argument is no argument.

The "eye" in AI or SI sees us differently than we see ourselves.

Cybertruck is the most American-built full-size pickup. Big, fast, and smooth. Drives itself. Parks itself. Cuts your fuel cost by more than half. What else do you want?

How do you pronounce it?

Deutsch: Wie weit kommt ein Tesla Model Y in Deutschland mit nur 1 € Strom? Je nach Bundesland sind es etwa 10,7 bis 16,3 Kilometer. Im deutschen Durchschnitt bringt ein Euro Strom rund 13,3 Kilometer Reichweite.

How far can ONE DOLLAR of electricity take a Tesla Model Y in your state? At the U.S. average residential rate, about 19 miles. Depending on the state, that same dollar buys anywhere from 7 to 27 miles of driving.

What if you could drive 83 miles for the price of one gallon of gas? That’s what the numbers say for a Tesla Model Y at average U.S. energy prices. In some states, the same dollars buy more than 125 miles.

43,000 Years of Nonstop Driving Tesla FSD has now driven about 15 billion miles. Assume an average speed of 40 mph: 15 billion miles = 375 million hours of driving. That’s: • 43,000 years of nonstop driving • 187,500 human work-years at 2,000 hours/year • Roughly 1.1 million driver-years at typical U.S. annual mileage Even using a broad 30–60 mph average-speed range, FSD has performed roughly 250–500 million hours of steering, speed control, and path planning. We talk about FSD in miles. Maybe we should also think about it in human time.

I get the appeal of big wheels and low-profile tires. They look great. They give a car that concept-vehicle stance. The exposed brake rotor and colorful caliper are machine-head eye candy. And the shorter, stiffer sidewall can give sharper, more immediate turn-in. I’m all for personalization and personal expression. But on the potholed roads most of us actually drive, they seem like folly. There just isn’t enough sidewall to absorb a hard pothole impact. The tire, wheel, or both can pay the price. And sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire and a bent wheel isn’t cool.

Tesla FSD just crossed ~15 billion miles. The fleet is adding ~35 million miles a day. A billion miles now takes 3to 4 weeks. At the start of 2026 it was 14 million a day.2026 alone will likely add more FSD miles than every prior year combined.1.5 million paid users. 55%+ of new North American Tesla vehicles leave with it on.The curve is taking off up and to the right.
