100 mile streak with FSD v14.3.4! This version rocks.

The worst part about Rivian OS 2.0 is how the settings page doesn't default to the top whenever you open it. It's wherever you last scrolled I think, or every time I open it it seems to be scrolled all the way down. @WassymBensaid

I don’t know if this applies to other models, but the Model Y L features the return of lumbar support in the front passenger seat.

Added some carbon fiber to the door handles. Small and subtle detail.

Reason #29397 I picked the YL. More consideration over single display platform. Always drove me nuts that showing the cameras would cover the music info, despite how large display was. Not a problem on Y L!

Reason #16783 I swapped my X for a YL. I’ll bet the S/X version won’t look this good or be as interactive, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
Halloween Mode now rolling out 🎃 This spooky update turns your Tesla into a haunted house on wheels – Ghost costume on your car's avatar – Enable Trick or Treat to play spooky sounds & flicker the lights when visitors approach – New haunting light show, wraps & lock sound – A rather chilling Photobooth – Frighten people remotely by speaking through the app...your car will say it in a voice of its own Side effects may include neighborhood notoriety

Really enjoyed this walkthrough. Looking forward to part 2! Largely agree with the points made.
Did a full side by side of the 2023 Model X and the new 2027 Model Y L. (Both AI4) One's $95K, one's $62K. Which one's actually better? The answer might surprise you. I will be doing a “Part 2” to go over the driving dynamics, sound system, interior sound attenuation, and misc. quirks later this month. Need more time with the car for that! Fun Fact: This video was entirely edited with Claude Opus 5.5. I think it did a great job!

Things even having a Yoke won’t solve. Display being covered when turning or mid turn yielding to incoming cars. In 3/Y/CT, display is never covered.

I think I’m in love now

Was looking forward to using @robotaxi to take my parents to their delivery appointment at Tesla factory, but it says service blocked. What gives @aelluswamy

Took my first @robotaxi ride.Pretty awesome experience. Feedback: 1. sound could be improved as there are no rear speakers. 2. Some of the routes have been crazy, taking 2x driving time to avoid certain roads or intersections(or highways). 3. Phone chargers in car would be cool

It seems @robotaxi has some sort of block or something on either Kramer road, burnet road, or metric blvd. The only way for me to get back home without a crazy detour is to take an uber here, then robotaxi back home.

Got to ride in my first ever @waymo to take me the 1.1 miles the @robotaxi wouldn’t. Once we got there the robotaxi took us to our intended destination without a 35 minute detour
