I am a blind guy on a simple quest to partner with Tesla on bringing transportation independence, and freedom to those without.

This is exciting. With Robotaxi now available in Fort Worth, how many months until we combine the Dallas and Fort Worth Geo fences into one big service area?
With today’s launch of @Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Fort Worth, Texas, its unsupervised Robotaxi geofences now cover a combined ~1% of the entire U.S. population.

Science fiction becoming science fact.
NEWS: Neuralink’s Blindsight could take brain-computer interfaces beyond motor control and into artificial vision.
- Elon Musk says Blindsight is Neuralink’s second product and is **engineering-ready**, pending regulatory approval.
- The system is designed to use a camera to send visual information directly to the brain’s visual cortex, bypassing damaged eyes or optic nerves.
- Musk says it could eventually help people who are completely blind, including those who have never seen before.
- Neuralink received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Blindsight in 2024, but the technology remains investigational and has not yet demonstrated restored vision in humans.
If successful, Blindsight could mark a major expansion of Neuralink’s mission — from controlling devices with the brain to restoring sensory perception.

Elderly people will definitely benefit greatly by this new technology! My grandmother drove way past her time bc she didn't have access to this technology! It would have been incredible for her to have the fteedom and security the Robotaxi will provide to other seniors!

This is the market people underrate. Over 7 million Americans have a visual disability. For them a robotaxi isn't a convenience, it's getting to work, the doctor, friends, on their own.
Totally blind, first ride in Robotaxi, the app was totally accessible, the ride accessible, the drop-off accessible, it felt unusually normal! @TeslaSI
First time in a Robotaxi, in fact, I’m completely blind and it’s the first time I have seamlessly been able to go somewhere on my own. The app was accessible, pick up was accessible. Ride was accessible and drop off was accessible. Tesla did not miss a beat with this! @elonmusk

🚨 According to NBC Bay Area, the truck's driver said that the Semi "simply caught fire," but he did not have an explanation as to why.
There is still no determined cause outlined by either Tesla or the California Highway Patrol.
We've reached out to CHP for comment.
Sometimes I don’t understand Lyft! The app shows priority pick up in 12 minutes, I click request, it says finding your driver for seven minutes, then your driver will arrive in 15 minutes. That math is 22 minutes, not 12? @AskLyft

In case my sister needs a ride…
There has never been an excuse to drink and drive. With @Tesla expanding their Cybercab/Robotaxi services area across #Houston, there are more ways than ever to get home safely after a night out.
Plan ahead, make the smart choice, and never get behind the wheel impaired. #DontDrinkAndDrive

Damn. They added a total of 110 Cybercabs today

Houston PD!! I love these guys and gals so much!
Stay safe out there and take a Robotaxi home from now on. Houston's finest approve and say so!!! ❤️

Can we get a 162 mi. Geo fence in Northwest Arkansas? Please?
Updated @Tesla Robotaxi geofence sizes (in square miles):
• Austin: 272
• Houston: 254 (916% increase today)
• Dallas: 81
• Miami: 31
• Orlando: 26
• Tampa: 24
All these areas are fully autonomous/unsupervised robotaxis only.
Oh heck, yeah! If the timeline holds, does that mean Miami, Orlando, or Tampa could see expansion within days or a couple of weeks?
My Lyft right this morning was in a 2026 Tesla model Y, and went from my driveway to the front door of my work with zero interventions! Remind me again, why we don’t have Robotaxi in Northwest Arkansas? @TeslaSI @AskLyft @wholemars @robotaxi

A guy bought a Tesla Model 3 last year.
$42,990. Drove it home. Plugged it in. Thought he had figured out the future.
His neighbor, a former Tesla service technician who had worked on over 800 Tesla vehicles, walked over to look at it in the driveway.
He sat in the passenger seat.
Looked at the 15.4 inch touchscreen.
Opened the settings menu.
Scrolled for 45 seconds.
Then turned to him.
“You have 11 features on this car turned off or set wrong. Your regenerative braking is running at half capacity so you are losing free range every time you slow down. Your charging schedule is costing you money every single night. Your Autopilot is not calibrated for your driving style. You have never activated the feature that tells you exactly when to charge to save the most money based on your local electricity rates. And Tesla pushed a software update 3 months ago that added 4 new features to this exact car that you have never turned on because the notification appeared at 2am and you dismissed it.”
He stared at him.
“I thought I just drove it.”
“You do just drive it. But this car has more software in it than most laptops. Tesla ships it with conservative defaults because they cannot predict how every driver will use it. The settings that make this car significantly better are all in the touchscreen. Most Tesla owners never find them because nobody tells them where to look.”
He spent 18 minutes in the settings menu.
The car he drove the next morning felt like a different vehicle.
Here are every Tesla setting and feature most owners never find: 🧵

The Model YL space for 6 is great.
Gotta keep emphasizing it. 🙏🏼
It’s sad that there are only seven or eight vehicles operating in Orlando. I love the explosion of vehicles currently in Austin and Dallas, but you would think with the support of @RonDeSantis @GovRonDeSantis Tesla would deploy a lot more vehicles in Florida.
