New from UP: the Range Booster Package for the 2024+ Model 3. 18" UP-RW Forged aero wheels, carbon High Efficiency Rear Spoiler, Rear Diffuser Trim Extension, Moderate Lowering Springs.

The Tesla Model YL is SOOO efficient. I'm 37.6Wh/mi UNDER the rated consumption over the past 200 miles.. at 70% battery my projected range is 272 miles which works out to 388 miles at 100% charge 😱. Phenomenal job to the engineers!

First few drives with FSD v14.3 lite: - Smooth driving, parking seems good at home. - Pretty confident navigating around the neighborhood, maybe a tad slower than v14.2 lite. - Way smoother when approaching yellow lights, it’s less sensitive and brake happy. - Noticed it’s more sensitive around some pedestrians and cars cutting across, not brake tapping but some hesitation - Zero instances of false positives pulling over for emergency vehicles, so hoping that’s a good sign. Overall, need more time with it, super bummed out I had to cancel the drive last second to Austin, but hopping on a flight.

If you follow FSD release notes on X, you've probably read @DBurkland's breakdowns.

i just automated our release and QA process! using Grok Bot i made two Team Bots: sandcastle, my release manager, and poteto, my engineer bot. i added them to Slack and made a new channel for managing releases. first i tell sandcastle that i want to do a cut. it'll DM all the contributors with links to their PRs so they know what goes in the next release and can DM the bot back if they have any blockers or objections. sandcastle then kicks off the build, watches it automatically, and starts up an automated fuzz swarm. usually this is 10+ agents running on Grok 4.7 xhigh to run the build, click around and use it like a real user (using our verification skills and feature map), some are directed while a few are "chaos monkey" clicking things randomly to see what breaks. whenever it finds an issue, i tell it to @ mention my engineer bot poteto, to spin up a Cursor Project to own triaging and fixing all the high pri issues. depending on the severity i may ask it to cherry pick the fix into our release branch and cut a patch release, or if it's a pre-existing issue i still fix it but include in the next release instead that's one more tedious task that Grok Bot now handles for our team

Well this is a bummer, the Henryetta, OK v3.5 Supercharger (at Quik Trip) is site limited to only ~28kW per stall. Even to get to 50% this would have taken me over an hour and a half. Thankfully there is a 4-stall v3.5 Francis Energy Supercharger a few miles up the road that came in handy. Any ideas what the issue is @TeslaCharging? I reported the issue via the app for what it’s worth.

Tesla FSD v14.3.9: The v14 Build We've Been Waiting For? 600 miles on FSD v14.3.9 and v14.3.8. 0 interventions, 0 disengagements. This is the v14 build we've been waiting for. Tesla has a lot going on in FSD right now: Robotaxi (likely running an early v15), v14 Lite for HW3 vehicles, and v14 for consumer AI4 vehicles. Since v14.3.3 a new dot release has landed every 19.2 days on average. I documented some real regressions in v14.3.5, v14.3.6, and v14.3.7, but v14.3.8 and v14.3.9 are a night and day improvement. v14.3.9 is the best v14 release I've driven with and it's not even close. Are you on v14.3.9 yet?
