Maths isn't cooked. It's resting. 🦜 The Cooked Field: a claymation homage to the Dead Parrot sketch, inspired by "math is cooked" on Moonshots EP #302. Made with AI, naturally. @PeterDiamandis @alexwg @DaveBlundin @salimismail

FSD v13.2.9 does this on a clear Wellington straight – no traffic, no obstacle. Full speed + slow-mo analysis. RHD behaviour US creators never see. Logged for Tesla AI. Notion dataset link below 👇 notion.so/AU-NZ-FSD-Behaviou…

Handles 95%+ of NZ roads brilliantly. These 5% edge cases are exactly why real southern-hemisphere, right-hand-drive testing matters. Full Christchurch-to-Wellington 400 km video (7 disengagements) drops next. Submit your own sightings via the button on the Notion page 👇

In depth look at the Tesla Cybercab This gives us the clearest view so far of the refined interior and exterior tweaks: • Frameless windows for a cleaner look • Updated front bumper with a longer lower splitter • Minor revisions to the rear hatch • Full production-style front lightbar that integrates the headlights • Fresh wheel covers • Redesigned dashboard and door panels inside • New carpeting material throughout the cabin • Refined seat cushions and revised center cupholders • Upgraded powered door mechanisms • Added license plate mount • Dual windshield wipers (up from just one on the early prototype)

With or without steering wheel, once available to order, I’d buy like 20 Cybercabs in a heartbeat

First full drive on Autonomy Down Under: Christchurch to Wellington with Tesla FSD v13.2.9 Over 4 hours of real-world driving condensed to 18 minutes – time-lapse for the journey, slowed to real-time for key moments, interventions, and commentary. Honest look at performance on NZ roads: smooth sections, disengagements, passenger reactions, and stunning scenery. @teslasi @TeslaAUNZ @WholeMarsBlog – thoughts on FSD Down Under? Excited for v14 - hopefully in holiday update coming very soon... Love your feedback please👇 #FSD #SelfDriving #TeslaFSD #Autonomy #NewZealand

I've just had 2025.46.5 software release show up in Tesla app for HW4 in NZ. Looks like the holiday update, but clearly says FSD is still v13.2.9. I am in Sydney for the next week so can't try it out unfort.. @AngeH1040417 got this update yet? or anyone able to test out in AU/NZ? @teslasi @TeslaAUNZ #FSD #SelfDriving #TeslaFSD

Autonomy Down Under is here. Independent, data-driven testing of self-driving tech on Australian & New Zealand roads. Real interventions. Real passenger reactions. v14 first drive drops the second it lands in NZ/AU. Who’s ready? 🚗🤖🌏 #AutonomyDownUnder #FSDDownUnder
