Watching this made me teary. We can use technology for convenience or luxury or to show off but using technology to give someone independence is the best use of tech and something we should all support.

John Foppe was born without arms & has been driving Teslas for over 7 years.
FSD Supervised lets him navigate the road without conventional steering β commuting to his non-profit job & visiting his daughter over 500 miles away
For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility
βI was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. Iβm a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.
Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.
Recently upgrading to the Model Y β along with Full Self-Driving β has been a complete game changer for me.
It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.
Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.β

Canβt wait for the Summer update to hit Aussie Teslas.
Here is the new Grok command feature in action from @Tesla's 2026 Summer Update
It allows you to make phone calls, adjust climate, open the glovebox, search the control panel, turn on/off the heated or cooled seats, etc. The ambient lights also pulse when Grok is talking.

WSJ's Dan Neil on @Tesla's FSD (Supervised):
"By the end of the second hourβI was bewitched. FSD is amazing. I acknowledge I am a sample group of one, with only the scantest evidence to work with. Still, I know good driving when I see it. Mile by mile, the FSD started to earn my confidence. In the whitewater-like eddy and flow of rush-hour interstate traffic, FSD held its position beautifully: stopping distances, following distances, lane centering, the gradients of acceleration, steering and braking, all playing out in smoothly continuous linear functions."

GOOD NEWS π¨ Following an on-site visit to Teslaβs Fremont factory, JPMorgan reports that Robotaxi deployment and Optimus commercialization are shifting from concept to measurable execution π₯
Expanding the Robotaxi fleet hinges on launching FSD v15 this year, which brings a substantial parameter boost, an expanded context window, and an approximate 20% latency reduction across seven core modules, with 40% already undergoing active fleet testing with positive feedback.
Current AI/HW4 hardware can already run unsupervised v15, while the upcoming AI4.5 platform adds 10% more computing power and double the memory for future computational demands. Tesla is intentionally limiting Model Y conversions to prioritize the purpose-built Cybercab, manufactured via an unboxed modular process. Under robotaxi utilization, operating costs are projected to fall to $0.50 to $0.60 per mile (down from $0.60 to $0.70 for personal use), far below ride-hailing rates of $2.50 to $3.00 per mile, with a long-term platform goal of $0.30 per mile.
FSD has also evolved into a primary purchase driver across Australia, South Korea, and Europe. Tesla ended perpetual software sales in North America in February 2026 and transitions globally to a $99 monthly subscription by August, supported by one-month free trials to drive adoption. In Europe, driving data reveals a fivefold collision reduction across roughly 65 million kilometers, supporting dual-track regulatory engagements at the EU and member-state levels targeting potential approval by October.
For Optimus, production lines are being installed at Fremont on the site of retired Model S and X lines along a four-month conversion timeline. Commercialization spans three phases: deploying to the "Optimus Academy" in late 2026 for real-world environmental learning, expanding internally into hazardous, repetitive stamping and body-in-white tasks rather than dexterous final assembly, and launching external commercial sales as early as late 2027.
The Gen 3 Optimus design and supply chain are largely locked in, though the final aesthetic reveal is intentionally delayed until near start of production to protect competitive advantages. Tesla targets long-term annual capacity of 1 million units at Fremont and 10 million units at Giga Texas, backed by internal compute capacity that doubled year-over-year in the first half of 2026. Gen 4 specifications will be determined after accumulating operational field data from Gen 3.
Driven by FSD adoption and a broadened lineup including new base models, the Model Y L, and updated performance trims, Tesla achieved a 25% year-over-year and 34% sequential sales jump in Q2 2026. While margins face near-term pressure from subscription accounting, targeted price cuts, and the 18-month ramp of in-house cathode and anode production, JPMorgan maintains a Neutral rating with a $445 price target (against a $339.30 share price at release), projecting 1.8 million deliveries in 2026 against a 3 million unit total capacity ceiling.
Using FSD (Supervised) is safer than not using it. You donβt have to be an airline pilot to appreciate itβs value. Thatβs why I always use it for every drive regardless of the distance. @Tesla @teslasi
I like to try and make a post like this every time it moves me. Follow me along on this short story..
I just got off a three day trip with my airline. For those of you that don't know me I am an Airbus Captain for a US east coast airline. I experienced many long delays getting home due to many constraints that really don't matter to this story, but what does matter is I landed in Orlando at 145am, almost 5 hours late. My drive home to Jacksonville is another 2.5 hours.
This late arrival creates a decision point. Both for driving safety, life management for appointments the next day, and general work life balance.
Having FSD on your vehicle changes the math on this decision. Before FSD it would have been an automatic choice to either sleep in the parking lot, or try and find a hotel room to rest until I was ready for the drive home. With FSD the decision matrix changes. Get a cup of coffee, enable FSD, and do the drive.
This is what I did last night, not arriving home until close to 445am. It wasn't scary, it wasn't dangerous, but I would never have done it if FSD didn't have my back.
There were several scenarios on my drive home last night where Semi Trucks were swerving into my lane, and FSD safely avoided any close calls.
I hope people that don't understand this technology can see through the popular rhetoric. This is not only life changing for safety, its also life changing for giving you options. It really feels like I am supervising a train. I just sit there watching it drive. My reaction time in the WOCL (Window of Circadian Low) is definitely lower, but with FSD its not unsafe.
If you don't own a Tesla and your life has a similar use case, you need to think about looking into this technology further, or talking to someone that uses it every day.
If you own a Tesla and don't own or subscribe to FSD for your commutes or longer drives .. you are wasting your investment in the platform that is capable of this level of automation.
It is a game changer.

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas
In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas β the precursor to Terafab.
Both Tesla &Β SpaceX will need far more chips than current &Β future global production can supply.
This is why we're building the largestΒ chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year
The future is built in Texas

Asimovβs Foundation series was a major influence on me.
That and the fall of Rome, from which Foundation takes inspiration, is what convinced me that we need to extend consciousness beyond Earth to avoid a potentially infinite dark age.

What Uber is doing here is extremely evil. They are trying to stop life saving autonomous driving technology to save their bottom line.
My first close call on FSD and it handled it beautifully. The SUV driver swerves into my lane and only puts on the indicator after.
The wide angle lens makes it look further away than it actually was.
Could I have handled it? Maybe.
Thanks @teslasi
