People are buying FSD with a car attached, not the other way around

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.

I don't think I know a single person who owns a Tesla and drives anymore. They use full self driving 90%+ of the time. Incredible to think that our kids are going to grow up in a future where all they will know is autonomous driving

Talk directly to your Grok @bot in Robotaxi
Grok @bot is now available in @robotaxi! I had my bot order me my usual drink while in a Cybercab.

My 76-year-old Mom took her first ever @Tesla Cybercab ride today! She loved it. "Kudos to the designers and the engineers. I would recommend this to everybody. It was totally outstanding. Really comfortable. It feels like flying first class. It's very clean. The seats are nice. Extremely roomy. I felt like I was treated like a guest." Sharing this moment with my Mom - her first-ever ride in a fully autonomous Robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals - was something special I’ll never forget.

Several Cybertruck owners in this thread sharing the same sentiment
Former ford driver and I’ll never go back. This thing is faster, safer more durable tows better(unless you’re regularly towing over 100 miles a day) drives itself way better ride and handling it’s not a contest. And I saved $650 on gas just last month. No oil changes far less maintenance overall. It’s not a contest

Manual driving is like riding a horse or hand-coding in Perl and PHP. You can still do it. You just don’t have to.
I'm still amazed there are people who use Claude Code and Codex on the daily yet don't own a Tesla Tesla's FSD v14.3 is like Opus 5.5. It just works and it is just so good and buttery smooth Imagine Astra-level computer use, but for driving your car "but I love mah car, vroom vroom in my Lambo, it's a machine!" please sit down. if you drive 30 or more mins per day and you haven't gotten a Tesla yet bc you "love to drive," I'm telling you that you sound like a programmer still hand-coding lines of Perl and PHP You owe it to yourself to take a test drive of a new Tesla to see how far they have come and what FSD feels like

Let Full Self-Driving handle the commute and Grok @bot handle errands. You can do both at once in a Tesla.

Amazing FSD maneuver, wow! I’m at a red light in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic. My Cybertruck sees an ambulance approaching from the rear… but the intersection is mostly blocked. So, it turns right across 3 lanes into a safe pocket, leaving a clear lane for the emergency vehicle to proceed without pause. After confirming it is safe, my truck then merges & continues onto the new road, automatically updating my nav to reflect the unplanned turn. Has anyone seen FSD do something like this before… this wasn’t just a pull over while driving. It was a full ‘let’s make a gap for that emergency and keep them on their way’ purposeful action from a full stop. @Tesla @teslasi @yunta_tsai @aelluswamy @elonmusk

Tesla FSD feels like magic

Jason Oppenheim, founder of Oppenheim Group ($5B+ in real estate sales), just sold his Bentley for a @Tesla Model Y and is so blown away by FSD that he’s buying Teslas for 10 employees: "This is the most important video I've ever posted. Tesla's self-driving is life-changing. It's so safe. I was on the phone with my brother last night, and I made him buy one. He literally bought one while we were talking. I'm buying 10 of my employees a Tesla with FSD. It's 8x safer than the average driver. There's nothing more important than the safety of you and your loved ones. Let's make our communities safer. I hope you'll at least consider going and getting a test drive." I've been saying for a couple months now that FSD has become a material driver of Tesla sales in North America. Some people said it's just been anecdotal evidence, but more and more videos and stories like this are popping up. It's not anecdotal anymore. Word is spreading fast. FSD is going mainstream. Jason's full video linked in thread below.

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.
