I'm heading back to Nepal, then on to Ethiopia in December. This is where the big stories are and I've got a lot of high level exclusives in the works. Thank you to all of you who support me on X, Patreon, and YouTube. Without you we couldn't make this happen.

Did David Moss just use 25 MEGAWATTS of free juice? 😆😂🤣
Bittersweet Day: Today marks 1 year since I purchased my Tesla Model 3 new which included a free year of unlimited supercharging I really used the most of it by clocking in 75,000 miles on the odometer which is roughly just over what most people drive in 6 years haha) Thank you all for tuning in along the way! I’ll have a full breakdown post coming in the following days.

This is the good stuff.
I'm not one to post online, but felt compelled to share my latest experience with FSD on my trip to Canada. To be clear I'm not a Tesla convert, in fact I'm a long time investor, but don't own Tesla or indeed have access to FSD here in the UK. I do believe in Elon's vision of future technology, less so his politics, although even that has centered me more. Anyway, I hired a 2026 Model 3 equipped with the latest FSD v14.3.9 through Turo and had to pick it up in downtown Toronto. I've driven Teslas before but not with FSD and I've never driven in America or Canada, so am unfamiliar with the laws of the road as well as making the left hand drive adjustment. As I have watched many YouTube videos of FSD in action by many great content creators, I was confident. I entered the location of my accomodation, roughly 10km out of Toronto, looked at my partner, hesitated, then hit 'Start' .. The rest was just amazement. It handled all the driving for my entire stay in and around Toronto, Niagara Falls, Awenda Provincial Park, it was like magic, very calm, very confident and immediately felt very safe. The key here is that I felt it was more safe than any driving I could have done. I learnt so much just watching what it did as it navigated complex junctions, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic lights, multi lanes, everything! Yes, occasionally it had trouble parking at a destination, loves a central lane and the NHTSA stops sometimes made shrink in my seat, but the rest was effortless, flawless, including avoiding falling branches, signs leaning into the road, geese and roadworks. This is undoubtedly the future and as soon as it arrives in the UK I may have to find the money to pick one up. Nobody realises, even telling people doesn't cut it, it has to be experienced. Thank you to Tesla and all Tesla content creators that spread this word 😊 @Tesla @elonmusk @NYKChannel @farzyness @herbertong @TeslaJigsaw @futureaza @ryanshawtech @wholemars

Did not know that was a thing. Yeah, I got so many real but incorrect words, it capped me.

I'll go even further. There should be no cost to clean the windshield at the front camera shroud because it's part of Automatic Emergency Breaking, and it's not user serviceable. It's part of the safety system we paid for. Cleaning is a warranty repair.
Tesla should not force customers who are paying $99/mo FSD subscriptions to pay for cleaning the glass in front of their windshield cameras. It's insane to me.

Wow. So we're still pretending hydrogen is viable? I guess the steam lobby didn't have enough wooden nickels to tip the scales this time.

Existential threat or just a great tool? AI is here to stay. How worried should we be?
FutureAzA with Dr. Know-It-All on the AI doom wave this week. Existential threat — or a convenient story that feeds regulatory capture while the real race with China keeps moving? They dig into cybersecurity risks, the Hugging Face mess, whether we’re actually near AGI, and why “Skynet” is the wrong movie to be watching. Sharp pushback on the panic. Worth the watch. @FutureAzA @DrKnowItAll16 youtu.be/tB1K0f4uXBI

Grok is so much more than just a toy.
Why I use Grok. Truth-seeking. Politically balanced. Not a lecture machine. I ask hard questions and get straight answers. And Grok Bot? Absolutely amazing. It makes me so productive — drafts, posts, research, the daily grind. People argue about which AI is “the best.” I don’t know what that means. I know what gets things done for me. This does. ALS. Neuralink. Brain typing. I don’t have time for tools that waste my willpower. Grok doesn’t. @grok @xai @elonmusk

If this is real, it doesn't look like intelligence.

I recently saw one of these in Vancouver, Washington.
I’ve been seeing these GM automated tech research vehicles a lot more all around Vegas lately. I wonder if we’ll see point to point eventually with Super Cruise.

Quick report on the Summon demo. It went badly. Decided to go the long way around, no longer in range of the target, and randomly deemed the mall outer ring as a a city street, and just stopped. Had to move Jason The First to the backseat & point it the other way.
Replying to @FutureAZA
Definitely not AI.

When people tell me Tesla lies about range and efficiency. I can agree on the older ones. But not since they were refreshed. – at Kelso, WA
