A Storm of Cybercabs
Wow, look at all these Tesla Cybercabs and Model Y Robotaxis heading back to base. This is the largest number of Tesla robotaxis ever seen together on public roads. Tesla is nearing 1,000 robotaxis registered in Texas to date.

Robotaxis as far as the eye can see! 🤩

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today. Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average. We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page. tesla.com/robotaxi/safety

In the age of super intelligence, the current standards of living will look medieval. The problems that society worries about right now will be largely irrelevant. It’ll be the equivalent of current society worrying about the bubonic plague.

Yeah, it's a peek into the future of how robots are going to seamlessly integrate into everyday life.
The Tesla Model 3 with FSD is mind-blowing. Jessica and I drove to the gym without touching the controls once. It backed out of our driveway, drove there, and backed into a parking space. It's amazing that you can buy so much future for $40k.

Two years since the 10/10 Cybercab WeRobot event, the cabs are everywhere in Austin now. Dallas soon.
One month after launch, we've scaled to 300+ Cybercabs serving Austin – an 8x increase in 30 days

We’re making interesting progress here. Digital Optimus can play about halfway through the Diablo campaign so far just by looking at the screen like a human. Skill at Counter-Strike and other fast games is good too. League is also in training. Goal is to generalize across all games.

What’s better than insurance is not getting yourself in an accident in the first place. Tesla self-driving not only maintains safe distance to obstacles proactively, but also reacts to other people cutting into your path with super-human response times.
A public service announcement.

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

For those who don’t know, these robot moves are essentially remote controlled. The robot rather blindly performs those while maintaining balance and such. AI safety for physical robots makes the current crop of AI safety for large models look like child’s play. Extremely important to get it right.

🥹 So amazing
Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice. Powered by Grok Voice from @spacexai

As Jensen would say, “We are not a car”
I just bought a new Model Y and can confidently say cars and Teslas are no longer the same product. A car is like a pony or horse. I still like driving a stick shift, it’s fun! Tesla with FSD is a transportation robot. I had one of the first Model 3s in 2017. FSD was basically slightly better cruise control. Great on the highway. But honestly felt oversold. So I have been driving a BMW for the past 3 years. Great horse, fun to drive. But tried FSD recently and holy shit — it’s a personal Waymo. Works perfectly. I just went to the Fremont factory to get my new car, entered my address 30+ mins away, pushed a button, and got home without doing a thing. I don’t think most people realize how good this is, probably because they only experienced an early version previously. This is 1000x better. Metaphor for AI writ large. Like trying GPT 3.5 and thinking it’s cute and hallucinates, and dismissing it…while Astra launches in 2026 and is orders of magnitude more capable.
