A map that learns my preferences is the part I want to try. My usual drive across Houston with zero touches would be a great first test.

Megapacks nearly sold out for 2027 says a lot. Energy keeps turning into one of Tesla's strongest stories, and here in Texas grid storage matters every summer. ⚡

AI5 in customer cars by late 2027, and the plan to put it in Optimus too. One chip across the car and the robot is a big win for cost and software.

Optimus is about to show what it can really do. 🤖 On the Q3 call, Elon said a new Optimus video could drop in a month or two, doing tasks that are not pre-programmed. Most of a million-unit production line has already landed in Fremont. Grok concept art.

A chip fab up the road in Austin is a big deal for Texas. Building the brains for cars, Optimus, and AI in one state is something to watch. ⚡

Love that answer from Lars. If they say it will fly, I'm saving a spot in the garage for the Roadster. 🚀

Optimus might end up bigger than the cars. 🤖 On tonight's Q3 call, Elon said he remains convinced Optimus will be the biggest product on earth, and that no one is close to Tesla on a general purpose humanoid robot. I'd love one helping around the house here in Houston. What's the first chore you'd hand it?

As an owner, that matches what I see. Once friends ride along on FSD, the next question is always how much the car costs. ⚡

My car earning money while I'm at work is the part that gets me. Q2 2027 is closer than it sounds. 🤖

Cybercabs in real customers' driveways before 2027 would be a wild way to close out the year. I'd be first in line here in Houston. 🚕

Driverless Cybercab rides are coming to Dallas. 🚕 Tesla says Unsupervised Cybercab rides open to the public in Dallas next month, and Elon says the Austin fleet has grown about 10x since launch a month ago. Austin, then Dallas. Houston, we're ready when you are. Who's taking the first ride?

The next demo I'd watch is a timed container handoff: loading, the tunnel trip, then transfer at the far end. Seeing where the minutes go would help put the whole freight idea in perspective.

A garden without up or down. 🌱 NASA says astronauts are testing plant pillows to grow fresh food in microgravity. Long trips into space still come with practical questions. What's for dinner is one of them.

The big screen layout looks great. Checking charge and climate on a tablet before a road trip is going to be a nice upgrade.

Rural clinics are where a solid connection matters most. Telehealth, records, and getting a specialist on a call can all happen without a long drive.

Starlink as a reason to switch airlines is a real shift. Wifi used to be an afterthought, now it is part of the ticket decision. Half of United flights this week is huge.

Zero injuries. Zero airbag deployments. Zero pedestrians hit. 🚕 Tesla just launched a new Robotaxi and safety report website, with a live counter of Robotaxi miles driven. Putting the numbers out in the open is how trust gets built, one mile at a time. Grok concept art.

Model Y and Model 3 taking the top two spots across Europe is a great read on how far the lineup has come. Love seeing the Model Y keep growing there.

Grok Voice 3.0 climbing to number one on the speech index is a big moment for the whole team. Voice that feels this natural will make talking to your car and your phone way more fun.
