Just got this clip from a follower showing their @Tesla avoiding a collision recently on the highway while on FSD (Supervised) V14.
Here are all the angles. Self-Driving data at top:

More V3 power in 16x9…these have to be my favorite 4 shots from this SF series.

This isn't like my past colorful moon photos
It's actually a photo that is impossible to capture from Earth.
This is a little snippet from a first-of-its kind collaboration with @astro_reid that takes lunar photography to the absolute extreme
More to come 👀

To celebrate reaching a million followers, my mentally ill friends had an actual boar delivered to the office today.

How about two video clips showing the first of the production versions of the Cybercabs sporting the glossy deeper gold Molded-in-Color new look in the Giga Texas outbound lot today and possibly the last of the older “engineering” versions with the satin gold wrap being loaded up on transport trucks.
Changing of the guard? I’m not sure, but this also is a great way to compare the visual look of the new vs the old. What do you think of how the Cybercab looks with the shiny gold?

You can see Andromeda in this pic 😍
A comet and its faint tail blaze past Earth, the Milky Way rises like a river of stars, and vibrant auroras dance across the edge of our world. Every snapshot taken from the orbital outpost reminds us how breathtaking our cosmic neighborhood truly is.
ALT This celestial image, taken moments before an orbital sunrise, reveals more than an airglow crowning Earth’s horizon—it also captures Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) and its faint vertical tail (top center) at a distance of about 50 million miles from our planet.

To conserve power, engineers at @NASAJPL have turned off an instrument on Voyager 1 – but the science continues!
Voyager 1 has two remaining science instruments – one that listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields. Learn more: science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyag…

Coolest video ever taken with an iPhone.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
