Just has the most wholesome interaction in a carpark by the beach after I had a sauna + sunset ocean swim with a couple mates. Went to show them Halloween mode on my car. A couple mins I noticed a father with a baby girl and little boy watching and staring. The boy wanted to see. Ended up spending the next 20 mins showing the little boy Halloween mode, the Halloween light show and talking through the cars speakers with the app. He was 6 or so but told me he wants one now. Told him it drives himself and his mind was blown. The father said Elon is a fucking legend.

Even though connecting the Aussie shores isn't the best choice financially for Tesla, and would be extremely difficult logistically, I still believe they should do it anyway. Make it a priority even.

Exciting perhaps, but a few headlines have got ahead of the facts, and the savings numbers don't quite add up.

WA isn't the laggard here, it's the preview of what's to come everywhere else.
Aussie power is 27% Cheaper this year on the east coast. So why did WA Just Hit a Record High?

I feel like I've been pretty hard on FSD lately, so here's a chat about the good things as FSD flawlessly cruises through Perth's beautiful Swan Valley

Feeling the FOMO for Grok Bot but $52/month for premium is tough. I don't code, I don't run my own business, just making content here and YouTube. What do you all use it for? Sell it to me.

Super impressive behaviour from FSD here: It stops before the flooded water blocking the way to my destination, then reverses into a suitable parking spot nearby. Really glad & impressed that it chose to stop and park rather than push through. Well done @TeslaSI

Here's the full video from my Mad Max drive yesterday. This drive had a mix of suburban, highways, rural and 110 km/h roads. Overall I'm pretty happy with how Mad Max drives, it drive much like I do. Just gotta watch those overtake attempts!
