I recently took the @Rivian R2 on a 3,496 mile road trip. Here's the truth about how it did 👇 🍿🎥: youtube.com/watch?v=hB04f7PE…

The intentional targeting/spear by @BroncoSportsFB tonight is an example of players who should be expelled from the sport and have NIL revoked. There should be zero tolerance for trying to injure other players. Zero.

These Robotaxi programs could be awesome for expanding awareness of what EVs can offer just through “butts in seats”. Clearly the autonomy piece is different, but I hope it nudges at least a few more people to get a great EV.
Visited our Arizona factory this week. Pretty cool to see production prototypes for our Lucid Gravity robotaxi program with Uber and Nuro. Pictured here after coming off the line, this one is awaiting its halo and a few other sensors. Proud of the teams behind this progress.

I use a publicly available app on @github to control my @neewerofficial studio lights. The only issue is it had a memory leak that gobbles up my 64gb of RAM after about a day. Launching @claudeai at the problem, and it fixed the issue in just a few minutes. 🙌

This is a weird timeline 😂 Even as a tech nerd, I don’t want my dishwasher to need WiFi for anything. And yet, here we are.

Probably the wildest thing about this new AI driven world we are headed towards is this: The only things left that will matter are taste and reps/experience. Actual skill is quickly being flattened to zero. It's truly bananas how quickly everything is changing.

It sure feels like @OpenAI is doing daily updates to the classic ChatGPT just to annoy users to move to the Codex version of the app. Sometimes, I just want the classic, ya'll.

I find AI tools immensely useful, but I would be willing to have access to weaker tools if it brought some of these chip and memory markets back to Earth.
JUST IN: Anthropic recorded a staggering $80,000,000,000.00 net loss in the first half of 2026.

Imagine a properly modern email platform that enables you to not only draft, schedule, and analyze email through natural language... But can also connect with whatever AI tool you choose to use, while providing enterprise grade reliability and class-leading deliverability? Now available starting at $29 per month. Wildly powerful and laughably affordable. Welcome to the new look Campaign Refinery. 👇

Given that the @Rivian Autonomy Early Access Program is launching in California and Florida, it may be a while. But I’m ready to test all the things when they are. 🫡 You can now express interest in your account.

Did @Tesla ever actually fulfill on their quarterly vehicle sweepstakes in the referral program years ago? 🤔 I know many people are owed a mythical Roadster from the 2017-2019 program… but what about the one after that? Real? Or smoke and mirrors?

Port Angeles, WA is a good one. Page, AZ will be helpful for options, but I charged at the very solid IONNA there on my road trip and it was the best charge rate of the entire trip.

I found myself driving across the state and back this past week for a family health issue. An interesting thing I found was that 2026.36.40 was immediately noticeable for the relaxed driver monitoring on the way out. However, 2026.36.41 on the way back was the most nagging I've ever had by the system no matter how obvious I was looking forward. Sunglasses on or off did not seem to make a difference. I will say though, having Rivian Assistant back in R2 after having it in our R1 vehicles has been a welcome qualify of life improvement! It's a bit baffling why we are still waiting on Camp Mode and Climate Keep for R2... 🧐
