On Friday morning, a Tesla Model 3 with two passengers plunged 300 feet down after the driver veered off a cliff on Mulholland Highway in Malibu. Both were rescued and airlifted to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Tesla Model 3 saved their lives.

Ferrari said the goal of the Luce EV’s design was to achieve the lowest coefficient of drag. The Luce has a 0.254 Cd. For some comparison: • Model S: 0.208 Cd • Model 3: 0.219 Cd • Model Y: 0.23 Cd • Model X: 024 Cd Just proves that having the lowest possible Cd doesn’t mean you have to design an ugly car.

Elon Musk confirmed via Telemetry Data that the woman driving the Cybertruck in this video disengaged the system four seconds before the crash. She was manually driving throughout this entire video. Don't believe everything you see/hear from Legacy Media about Tesla.

The only problem with not using your Tesla brakes much is that almost everyone has some surface rust build up. It’s incredibly common, especially in colder climates. Tesla made it easy to remove the surface rust by adding a dedicated Brake Burnishing feature in the car’s native Service Mode. You just follow the visual guides for optimal speed and pedal pressure in order to safely remove surface rust. They make it so easy. 👌🏻

With how amazing Tesla FSD has become, I’m at the point now where I actually prefer to drive rather than fly in most cases. FSD allows you to travel cover an incredible amount of distance without any major fatigue since the car handles 100% of the driving, charging, and parking. It also makes the trips so much more fun and rewarding. People always ask, don’t you get bored? My answer is actually no, we get to explore so many new places along the way, take in the scenery more, and it’s just overall a more pleasant experience than manually driving and stressing about which exit to take etc. FSD handles all of that for you. If you have a Tesla, or are planning to get one, I highly suggest taking it on a road trip somewhere. It’ll be the best roadtrip you’ve ever taken.

It is not spoken about enough how comfortable it is to be driven around in a Cybertruck on FSD. It feels like you are floating. There’s so much room up front, it’s very relaxing. No other pickup truck can do this, not even close.

I have chosen to drive my Tesla on FSD multiple times instead of flying. In the past year, I’ve done multiple ~20-hour days driving continuously on FSD, covering over 1,000 miles daily without ever needing to touch the steering wheel. We just took a trip from Toronto to Nashville as well. It was 900 miles one way, which we completed in a single day (18 hours), and it was way more economical (and fun) than flying. Before that, I did Toronto to Austin, TX (3,200 miles round trip) TWICE in July and November — all in my Model 3 Performance. Would I attempt these drives without FSD? No way. I literally push a button on the screen, and the car handles all the charging stops, traffic, navigation, and everything. It’s so easy. If you’re an avid road tripper, there’s no better car to do it in than a Tesla.

The $640,000 Ferrari Luce EV has a unique way of creating sound inside/outside when accelerating. Unlike other systems (Mercedes, Hyundai, Porsche) that just use synthetic audio files, Ferrari took a different approach. On the rear axle next to the inverter, they installed a high-precision accelerometer that captures the actual mechanical vibrations and noises from the electric motors, gears, inverters, and drivetrain components. Those signals are then filtered, equalized, and amplified through the car’s external and internal speakers. Ferrari compares it directly to how an electric guitar operates. You can hear it in the video below when Lewis & Charles are driving. I think this may be the only part of the Luce I find interesting tbh lol.

I love how the Tesla Spring Update brought over the rear display map from Robotaxi. It’s great for your passengers while on a roadtrip. They can interact and see the route/remaining time.

If you haven’t tried Cybertruck’s steer-by-wire and 4-wheel steering system, you must. It has the same turning radius as a Sedan.

San Francisco-based company Humble Robotics unveiled a Fully Autonomous and Cabless Class 8 Electric Semi Truck. • 360° sensor coverage with cameras, LiDAR, and radar. • 200 mile range • 55 mph top speed • Cabless, no interior • Optimized for standard 40’ and 53’ shipping containers. • Designed for short-haul freight in seaports, railyards, warehouses, and intermodal operations. The company is still in its prototype phase, and no price has been released yet. As always, Prototypes are easy, production is hard. There is a company in China developing a similar concept (cabless design).

You can watch movies or YouTube in a Tesla as it drives you around with Unsupervised FSD. One day soon, you’ll be able to do this in your own Tesla. Nobody is going to want to drive anymore.
