The new Automatic Collision Evasion feature worked flawlessly! FSD reengaged itself just as I was about to hit a curb. Kudos @teslasi team! 👏

Tesla just posted 6 new "Market Attendant Lead, Robotaxi Charging" jobs in: • Austin • Dallas • Houston • San Antonio • Miami • Orlando According to the listing, the role is "responsible for training and performance validations of attendants at high usage Supercharger sites." It also covers daily field visits across the market and on-site triage of "critical charging-infrastructure repairs." Tesla appears to be setting up dedicated charging crews for Robotaxi.

CBS Austin is reporting that an unoccupied Tesla Cybercab was hit by a pickup truck in southeast Austin Wednesday night as the driver fled a stabbing at Buzz Mill Coffee. A man in a zombie costume allegedly stabbed two people around 8:54 p.m. at 1505 Town Creek Drive. Both were seriously injured (one critical but survived). He was later taken into custody and is expected to face aggravated assault charges.

I had Claude build an entirely new interface for my Fire TV. All the ads are gone. Here’s how it turned out.

Saw people vibe coding their TVs. Mine had gotten unbearably slow, so I tried it. One afternoon with Claude Code: 25 bloat apps disabled, the 192 MB stock launcher replaced with a custom 83 MB one, plus rotating wallpapers. With AI, all you have to do is imagine!

Other than the apparent rail road avoidance downtown, the service feels really good in Houston Reasonable wait times, big service area, and significantly better driving than my recent Waymo rides Encountered emergency vehicles, police directed traffic, bad drivers, and all handled flawlessly I don’t want to trivialize the routing issue though, it has to be solved before service can be useful and scale here. I worry people trying the service will be turned off if they experience this
