Facts over feelings.
Belgium’s mobility minister just confirmed it in parliament: after 24.6 million km, Tesla FSD (Supervised) cut non-highway accident risk by 9.6x.
Nearly 10 times safer than human drivers.
The smear campaign can eat that. European countries blocking the Oct 6 TCMV vote are choosing more deaths over proven safer driving.
After the negative press earlier this week, there is the fact that @Tesla FSD is 10x safer than human drivers in Belgium. And that is what matters: not a perfect system, but still avoiding accidents and saving lives. This is what minister @AnnickDeRidder also knows. hln.be/mobiliteit/bijna-tien…

Construction just started on Belgium’s largest battery park.
Green Turtle in Dilsen-Stokkem:
• 700 MW / 2.8 GWh
• 640 Tesla Megapack 3s
• ~€700 million
• Tesla doing full EPC + long-term maintenance
• Target online: March 2028
Built on a former zinc factory site, connected to Elia’s high-voltage grid. Enough peak output for ~385,000 homes.
This is the latest big Tesla Megapack move in Europe. Not the only one.

Construction has started on a new $650 million @Tesla Megapack battery energy storage facility in Belgium to help power 385,000 homes.
The project will use Tesla's next-gen Megablock technology with Megapack version 3. Total storage volume will be 2.8 GWh. This will be one of the largest BESS facilities in Europe.
Tesla will handle all engineering, procurement and construction work and will be responsible for the site’s long-term maintenance. According to current planning, the site will be commissioned at the end of March 2028.

Thursday September 3rd is a Historic Day
Not just for Tesla, but for the entire world.
It is the day fully autonomous vehicles launch in a first city without a steering wheel or other manual controls, and driven by neural networks that rely exclusively on camera data. These vehicles can travel anywhere without restriction, and the cost per mile is far lower than anything seen before.
The vehicle is named the "Cybercab," and mass production, on a scale of millions, is already underway.
Because it makes point-to-point transport more cost-effective than any other alternative, the number of users of this Tesla transport service will grow exponentially. People who could not afford to be driven will use it daily.
The service is not only more affordable but also safer and more convenient, and it gives people back a piece of their most precious asset: time to live.
The world will look back on September 3, 2026 as the day transportation as we know it changed forever.

The render of the factory itself and its surroundings just looks very cool 🤩

While we can complain about @Tesla FSD Supervised being slow as hell, it does things like squeezing into narrow gaps without hesitation. I’m teally starting to fully trust it to handle these things and not scratch my car @wholemars @teslaeurope
🚨 Multiple people in the Netherlands & Belgium 🇧🇪 are receiving this today 🇳🇱.
Tesla is activating free 2-month FSD (Supervised) trials on Model Y’s. Trials run until early October 2026.
Clear strategy: get more real-world European miles under FSD to improve the system faster.
The data flywheel is spinning in NL.

Stuck in stop-go traffic near Zaventem Airport🇧🇪. I move one lane left… and there’s a police van coming straight at me. Lights on, but no siren — so I completely missed it. 🚗@Tesla FSD didn’t. It instantly pushed me to the side, safely creating space so the emergency vehicle could pass. Exactly what the “safety corridor” (Benelux) / "Rettungsgasse" (Germany/Austria) is for. 🚗@Tesla FSD already knows what to do!

Just ahead, a car door swings wide open. 🚗@Tesla FSD already saw it. Gently eases left, keeps a clean safety margin, and rolls past like it’s nothing. No drama.

Putting huge iron plant pots in the road to calm residential traffic is a smart idea — but it creates a challenge for @Tesla FSD. The system handles it with ease and total precision.🚗@Tesla

NEWS: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang joins X and made his first post.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Until now, Grok had not been available in many European countries.

🚗@Tesla FSD handling it like a pro
Downtown Zaventem, narrow streets with lots of pedestrians. FSD yields to the cyclist on my left and correctly decides not to overtake (zero safety margin). It had already spotted the e-scooter — both end up right in front of me. FSD threads the needle perfectly.
