Saw a @Tesla cybercab driving on my local roads. Could robotaxi be expanding to Ann Arbor sooner than I thought?
This video covering the Roadster with Lars is way more valuable and interesting to me than the Tesla Roadster Demo. There is real tech in there that will benefit the full Tesla line over time.

Well this is a new charging experience. Fucking dickhead parked directly in front of my charging car while I was inside and can't leave. Tons of places he could have parked with his trailer not blocking anyone.
Chargesmart EV is complete trash. Insane pricing + session fees all with beautiful looking chargers that fail to charge and still charge you session fees each time you try. Combine that with poor customer service and hopefully someone competent takes them over.
Such Cope when Omar knows damn well MKB was right and there is still 0% chance Tesla sells the Cybercab directly to customers for less than $30K this year.
This FSD bird braking is getting insane. The bird wasn't even flying towards the road. The car did a full on brake and I had to press the accelerator to get it not to go to 0. I miss when it seemed like FSD got better with each release...
We are living in the dumbest times. Actively block new development in solar and wind that industry wants, while spending hundreds of millions to force coal development the industry is trying to get away from.

Looks like 2026.14.6.7 is rolling out quickly. I wonder what actual change is in this release that they want rolled out quickly.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Pausing went from free to $5 and now $10. At $5 they used to allow it in motion, and now they do not. At least give us back unlimited low speed data in motion, and I'll be okay with the $10 pause.
SpaceX is increasing the price of Starlink Standby Mode to $10/month (from $5/month). Standby Mode allows users to "pause" their service for a reduced fee while maintaining a, low-speed, 500 Kbps connection for essential, low-bandwidth tasks.
SpaceX: "Strong demand for Starlink reflects the value customers continue to see in the service. This adjustment supports ongoing improvements and investment in affordable, high-performance products and services as global operating costs continue to rise."
Now that I have FSD 14.3 I need to fill out a survey just to park in my garage? I literally only disengaged outside the door and parked it inside.
I absolutely love that my car just keeps getting better the longer I own it! So much great stuff coming soon! Thanks for the hard work @tesla team!
my biggest frustration with my @teslaenergy Powerwall 3 has to be the calibration process. It always fully charges itself during more expensive grid periods. My Powerwall charges to 100% often when not calibrating. Why does this need to happen so often and cost me extra $$$!?!?
"We're building a world of amazing abundance. LFG!"
Saying "LFG!" in a shareholder update feels a bit pathetic.
Q4 Shareholder Update → ir.tesla.com
— Highlights
2025 marked a critical year for Tesla as we further expanded our mission & continued our transition from a hardware-centric business to a physical AI company.
We also laid the foundation for the future of Tesla by further advancing FSD Supervised, launching our Robotaxi service, beginning to install production lines for Cybercab & fine-tuned our production-primed Optimus design while expanding our AI training infrastructure.
In 2026, we will further invest in the infrastructure needed to support clean energy + transport as well as autonomous robots.
This includes the ramp of 6 new production lines across vehicle, robots, energy storage & battery manufacturing.
We're building a world of amazing abundance. LFG!
Automotive
– APAC region continues to show strength across multiple markets & set a record for deliveries this quarter
– Preparations in North America continue for the production ramps of Tesla Semi & Cybercab, both commencing in the first half of 2026 & production of the next gen Roadster
Energy generation + storage
– Highest quarterly energy storage deployments, driven by record Megapack deployments
– Total gross profit = $1.1 billion, marking our 5th consecutive record quarter!
– Megapack 3 & Megablock production starting at Megafactory Houston this year
– In 2025, Powerwall network supported more than 89k Virtual Power Plant events across >1 million installed units, saving homeowners >$1 billion in electricity bills
Robotics
– Planning to unveil Optimus Gen 3 in Q1 this year, our first design meant for mass production
– Start of production planned by end of 2026, with eventual planned capacity of 1 million robots/year
AI Training Compute
– Currently building Cortex 2 at Giga Texas to further increase our AI training compute capacity
– In the first half of 2026, we're planning to more than double the size of onsite compute in Texas (in terms of H100 equivalents)
Battery
– Our lithium refinery started pilot production. It is the first spodumene to lithium hydroxide refinery in North America, with a simpler, cheaper & more environmentally friendly process
– Started producing battery packs for certain Model Ys with our 4680 cells, unlocking an additional vector of supply
– We now produce dry electrode for 4680 cells with both anode + cathode made in Austin
– We expect both domestic cathode material in Austin & LFP lines in Nevada to begin production this year
AI Software
– Shipped latest version of FSD Supervised (V14), which will drive you to your destination, find a free spot & park
AI Inference Compute
– Development of our in-house, custom designed AI5 & AI6 inference chips for autonomy progressed during Q4, with production planned for 2027 & 2028 respectively
– Targeting a 50x improvement for AI5 compared to AI4, thanks to 10x raw compute, 9x memory capacity & 5x hardened block quantization & softmax function (= enabling efficient low precision computing without sacrificing model accuracy)
Automotive + Other Software
– Robotaxi app no longer has a waitlist in the areas we serve
– Our vehicles keep getting better with over-the-air software updates: Grok w/ navigation commands, Photobooth, Supercharger Site Maps, Automatic HOV Routing, & more
Robotaxi
– Began testing driverless Robotaxis in Austin in December & began removing safety monitor from customer rides in January
– Our Bay Area ridehailing service now serves SJC, with plans to expand to other Bay Area airports upon receiving required permitting
– Cumulative paid Robotaxi miles have now exceeded 600k
FSD Supervised
– Launched in Korea, where customers drove >1 million kilometers in just one month
– We continue to pursue regulatory approval in China & Europe
– FSD Supervised subscriptions more than doubled in 2025
FSD 14.2.1 finally rolling out to Model X. I thought S/X were being skipped based on initial rollout, but guess not.
