Celebrating 10 years with my ride or die! We created a family, a business and now we create wonderful memories.
It’s always an experience!
We went adventuring around @Disney Exhausting and expensive but seems to always be worth it.
Kids were completely drained.
Gravity drove us home.
Year 10 down. On to 20
Okay, we are so back… again!
The perfect car isn’t perfect after all. Lucid found a fault in the inventor and replaced the main Drive Unit. They provided a loaner, performed the repairs and got us back up and going.
We have since put 500 miles on the new motor and the Gravity is again the perfect vehicle!
ADAS worked flawlessly on our whole trip, charged exceptionally well and is truly the best vehicle you can pick in this segment.
On a side note we stopped at our first @ionnaofficial chargers and we were impressed at the performance and the ease of use. Well done!
A new era of iPhone has arrived. Which devices will you be getting and which will you pass on?
Will you be a day one Duo user or will you be sticking to the “traditional” iPhone slab?
Whichever you decide @TheAppleCore will be here to support your devices!
Why not just put a PS5/Xbox controller in the vehicle and control it with that if needed?
Weird #cybercab situation! When I got in the vehicle, the display was in a different configuration with a virtual joystick for manual driving! I have a feeling I wasn’t supposed to see this… but I try to manually drive the vehicle anyway! 😂 @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @DavidMoss @SawyerMerritt @aelluswamy

🤯 Even more reason to get an EV
Elon spends .001% of his net worth on his child support yearly. This is the leader you think loves you and humanity and you dedicate your life to him and his businesses. All for $$$.
With his net worth hovering between $800 billion and $900 billion, the math makes typical wealth comparisons look absurd:
Spending $10 million a year on full family overhead (security details, private jets, compounds, schooling, and direct child support) represents roughly 0.001% of his net worth.
For an average American household with a net worth around $200,000, that is the proportional equivalent of spending $2 to $3 a year.
Even looking purely at direct cash support around $550,000 annually that is the mathematical equivalent of about 12 cents to someone with an average life savings.
This dude still pops up on a regular basis. We agree mostly but when I go to respond.
Blocked.
I blame @MattWallaceTech
True Tesla cultists are egomaniacs: “If you want to be special, be like me…”
There are plenty of genuine, wholesome Tesla fans and creators who will never get invited to events simply because they offer honest, constructive criticism. That doesn’t move units, so it’s a nonstarter. The inner circle thrives on blind loyalty and total devotion to the badge.
To be accepted, you practically have to host a revival on a mountaintop.
The best marketing doesn't come from screaming the loudest. That hype works for a while, but eventually people catch on and look for fresh perspectives and real competition. Tesla is Nike in the 90s. Back then, people obsessed over Jordans purely for the cultural clout. Did they make you jump higher? No, it was a status symbol. Elon tapped into that exact psychology, but as the market matures, the rest of the industry is catching up fast.
Let the build quality and performance speak for itself. When you engineer a genuinely superior product, you don't need a circus. Yet the moment a real competitor emerges, the playbook shifts to hostility and trying to crush them. That's their version of "capitalism."
Some of the best automotive content comes from smaller creators driven by real passion, not vanity metrics. Not everyone wants to be the MrBeast of tech, chasing algorithms at any ethical cost.
Tesla doesn't want critics; they want yes men. They want people who blindly trust the executive of a publicly traded company who views them purely as retail capital. Selling beta software for a decade inflated a stock price to enrich a tiny circle. If you got rich off the run, good for you, but it came at the cost of normalizing the vaporware peddling tech CEO.
A retweet from Elon has become a lifetime achievement for people begging for scraps beneath the king’s table.
Money, power, and clout are fleeting human impulses that vanish the moment you're gone. Build a reputation on honesty. Never compromise your integrity just to win approval from people and corporations that will never care about you.
Like Tyler Durden said, “…The people I meet on each flight? They're single serving friends. Between takeoff and landing we have our time together, but that's all we get.”
Don't spend your whole life being a single serving asset to a brand.
I want to scream this from the rooftop, because I’m tired of seeing this. I’ve been in this community since 2021. Let me explain that the reason why you’re not getting an invite to something is because you haven’t put the work in for it. Simply because you post on X, or are talking in Spaces doesn’t mean a freaking thing.
The people that you see being invited to events, are selling cars with their videos, finding information to share, YouTube channels showing the technology, also engaging with people and answering their questions. They get invited to events because they are testing the vehicle on new updates, they are posting about their experience, they are answering 50 million questions from people, they are editing videos of drives and spending their time doing multiple drives to show the product.
I don’t want to hear why other people aren’t getting invited, because other people aren’t doing shit. After I hosted the Pikes Peak Lightshow, Tesla gave me an early invite to try Robotaxi in Austin. So if you want to be invited to stuff, I’m not saying get 500 people on top of a 14,000ft mountain.. but do something that benefits the company.
They aren’t sending invites to fans, they are sending invites to people who are using their time and money to invest in their company and bringing in more buyers to their product. They are inviting people who will post all about it where millions of people will see.. that will bring more buyers to their company.
Added another exemplary EV to our fleet. IYKYK
@brandenflasch Lets see how this one fits in the Gravity
