The idea that Tesla is alone in the race to develop end-to-end vision system for self-driving and delivering into consumer vehicles is officially dead. Like dead, dead. I tested Xpeng's VLA 2.0 in the streets of Beijing, and it is comparable to my experience of daily driving Tesla FSD v14. Xpeng is not charging $100 a month to drive this. It is inlcuded in its higher-trim vehicles and it already caught the attention of Volkswagen, which is going to integrate into its own vehicles - something Tesla hasn't been able to do despite trying.

Insane Tesla story coming out of Norway today. You probably forgot about this weird Tesla crash from 2023 where a Model Y taxi had two bizarre 'sudden acceleration' crashes in just a few seconds. The driver claimed the car accelerated on its own and he was pressing the brake pedal. Tesla claimed its data shows he was pressing the accelerator. The driver was charged, but the charges were later dropped for lack of evidence, and there are indeed some serious problems with the evidence. While Tesla did share some telemetry data, the automaker claimed that the last 6 seconds were somehow missing. It turned out that someone went inside the vehicle, opened up the onboard computer, and removed the network card, which an expert believes would hold critical evidence. Everyone involved claims not to know where the card is.

A Threads user named Laushi Liu posted dashcam footage from his Tesla Model 3 on Sunday, March 8, showing the vehicle on “Full Self-Driving” mode at 23 mph near West Covina, California. In the video, the car approaches a railroad crossing where barriers have just come down — and drives straight through them. The timing is almost poetic: this video drops the day Tesla is supposed to finally hand NHTSA the data from its FSD violation investigation, after two deadline extensions. We’ll be watching to see whether Tesla actually delivers, and what that data reveals about just how common these railroad crossing failures really are.

Look, I don't know why ΛI DRIVR insists on destroying his credibility with rational people just for some brownie points with the $TSLA cult, but he is straight-up lying, and he knows it. I just went on a quick drive to prove him wrong. You need 2-3x the amount of torque to disengage than what Mark applied there.

I investigated the Donut Lab miracle 100-year battery with record energy density and interviewed CEO Marko Lehtimäki. More to come soon. This is going to be an ongoing story in the coming weeks as they either deliver world-changing tech or fall into the vaporware ether within months.
