Having fun on Scotty's farm testing the Cybertruck's Off-Road mode against the Rivian R1T, and also benchmarking against Scotty's Ford Raptor R. There were jumps, 4G compressions, and close-quarters ripping, all while collecting data for science. Certainly worth the watch! #cybertruck #rivian #tesla

Looks like a good time! Agree, in my experience Cybertruck feels super stable even when on loose surface and is very point and shoot with steer by wire. Baja mode slider lets you decide if you want to be nimble or just get mega sideways. Super fun to drive

Thanks Wes! Yes the low CoG was an unexpected awesome surprise compared to the Raptor.

Why would you not put the Rivian in Rally Mode

We tried Rally first - it was just as bad if not worse!

HOLY SHIT! Elon Musk and the team at Tesla have delivered a hardcore smackdown to gas-powered trucks. The Cybertruck beats the Ford Motor Company Raptor R on dirt… While the Raptor is on pavement! The Cybertruck also costs less, tows more, has greater payload, cheaper to maintain, and saves thousands on gas per year.

$RIVN $TSLA Now I know why Tesla influencers are mad. Rivian just put a fork in the road for FSD monopoly. First initial reaction after 30 minutes of testing Rivian Universal Hands Free. In the video below, the car is doing all the work on back roads. FYI, Universal Hands Free is not equivalent to FSD yet, but point to point coming out in 2026 should put Rivian right up there. Here is the fork in the road: 1. Claim: Everyone will license FSD from Tesla. Reality: Rivian will release point to point next year. 2. Claim: Everyone is 10 years behind Tesla in autonomous driving. Reality: Rivian is only about 1.5 years behind. 3. Claim: LiDAR is too expensive. Reality: It costs around $200. 4. Claim: Multiple sensors cause confusion and delayed decision making. Reality: With early sensor fusion, there is no confusion or added complexity. 5. Claim: Tesla is the only software defined company. Reality: Rivian licenses its software to VW for $5 billion beating Tesla to it.

🚨 ELON JUST PUT GROK INSIDE A TESLA CYBERTRUCK - AND THE OWNER SAYS IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL A man casually talks to his Cybertruck like it’s a human - asks for food stops, coffee breaks, timing, and a fun NYC destination - and the truck plans the entire road trip instantly. No phone. No apps. No menus. Just your voice, and the truck does the rest. This isn’t infotainment. This is Grok AI from xAI living inside a Tesla, turning a vehicle into a thinking co-pilot. While other automakers are still flexing touchscreens and ambient lighting, Elon Musk quietly merged AI and transportation. How many cars on the road right now can even come close to this?

Tesla engineers on the thickness of the Cybertruck's steel exterior: "We have two thicknesses. Our doors are 1.8 millimeters thick and all the other parts like the sails, hood, etc, are 1.4 millimeters thick. We worked hard to get the strength up on the stainless because the original we were about 2.53mm. We actually increased the strength of the HFS over time. While doing that with the ductility for forming, we're able to get that strength and bulletproof toughness with having a thinner material." via Munro Live:

Good to see Mumbai Traffic Police finally taking action against illegally parked cars outside the Maruti showroom on New Link Road, Malad West. However, the same strict action must also be taken against the TVS showroom, where multiple two-wheelers are deliberately parked on the footpath and public road space. Footpaths are meant for pedestrians, not for vehicle display or customer parking.

Imagine tricking a gay man into meeting up with you for sex without at all disclosing that you’re in fact a female, and then having the nerve to get on the internet and make out as though YOU were the one that was discriminated against, instead of actually respecting the sexual orientation of another person. Fuck off.

This is where I have to share my raw feelings about Rivian software currently on R1. The software experience they have created is good. It’s their own, with their software stack that they control. With that said, we have to stop making excuses for longstanding bugs. Like Quinn Nelson had posted about long ago, having to do multiple Resets, logins and out to get core functionality to work is not the experience we should be having. I know Rivian and Wassym do not want this. I also know they are working on R2 stuff as well. As a person who has spent real money on 4 Rivian’s with 3 R2 reservation between me and hubby, we are huge fans. Have helped many become Rivian owners as well. But the long outstanding bugs are starting to boil over. It’s dragging the software reliability down. Apple Music has been in Rivian vehicles for just about 2 years now. We are past the stage of it being “new”. Spatial Audio is a key music feature, and for me, and plenty of others, you have to turn that off sometimes just to get music to play. I shouldn’t have to do that. Plus, you can’t change that feature while the vehicle is in drive. So then you have to pull over and fiddle with it just to get it work and sometimes it doesn’t. Rivian assistant can’t do it either. Among other issues, like HVAC preconditioning, unstable cabin temps, GPS locking issues, profile switching not getting right or switching profile after the driver has gotten in, mobile app live activities not functioning properly, and more. The live activities is important, because we don’t have a notification for charging start stop/complete except for charging complete on DCFC, so on a level 2 charger, I don’t know if there is an issue with charging if the live activities don’t appear. Same for HVAC if it’s not showing up I have to keep opening the app to check to see what the temperature is. If you aren’t going to push me a notification that the cabin is at the temp I selected in favor of the live activities, then the live activities has to work. I could go on, but I really love my Rivian. I love the brand, I love what they want to do. And I think R2 is going to change the market for most things, but I want their focus to be on software and stability. Focus on polish, focus on features that many people want, don’t over complicate those things. Example, valet mode should be here by now that locks down speed acceleration and access to certain parts of the vehicle. Basic Pin to drive, not the multi factors drive one that depends on your phone and vehicle having an internet connection. Speedy, clean, stable software is always a win. I know Wassym Bensaid and plenty of others at Rivian can do this. We have seen it before and seen what they can do. The YouTube app is by far the best app they have added. I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s responsive, and works. Everything needs to work like that across the board. Please guy let me help in anyway I can, I just want the best for you and the community and customers. Let’s focus on that. I know some will see this as a complete complaining post but it’s not. It’s a plead to make the experience better for everyone and making the Rivian software the best software it can be.

We went to Vegas for our 10 year anniversary and paid an arm and a leg to see all 4 Phish shows at the Sphere. Worth it. No regrets. But no, we were not also ordering $100 pretzel bites or a $370 ribeye while we were there. We spent the money on the actual reason we went. Here’s a clip of First Tube on night 4, which still feels completely insane to watch back.

Alex Smith on his favorite moment while playing with the 49ers: “When we hosted the playoff game against the Saints in the Divisional Round. It was Drew Brees, Sean Payton who had Super Bowls. They were the best offense in football. We certainly weren’t any match for them and to go into that game, we went back and forth in the 4th quarter. There were like 4 lead changes in the final 4 minutes, but to beat them with the walkoff winner essentially. I will never forget the Stick in that moment. It was insane.” 🎥: GOAT Farm Network | Real Ones

Fantasies come true in Las Vegas. Had to get the flap underneath my Tesla Model 3 fixed. It finally failed on the drive to Vegas yesterday (my car is lowered so give that more abuse than usual). Service made me a deal. They would give me a Cybertruck while they fixed it. So we took it on a pretty road in Nevada. After a long drive to get to Valley of Fire State Park where I drove manually up. FSD down. Pretended we were on Mars in a robot. I have been interviewing Cybertruck owners and they all love theirs. I see why now. Smooths out all of life’s difficulties. It is the first all software driven vehicle. In it human is not linked to the wheels. This makes a long road trip or a U-turn way easier. And nicer. Thank you Tesla for making my fantasies come true. SCOTTeVEST Scott Jordan took me in his Ferrari on this road. The Ferrari is more fun to drive. But harder. And it can’t drive you so you can enjoy the very wild scenery. And on the ride up the Cybertruck is superior. What a fun day! Tomorrow going to hang out with healthcare/medical nerds.

🇺🇸 Tesla has published new safety data for FSD Supervised, and the methodology is worth a look as much as the numbers. FSD has now covered over 12.6 billion miles, with nearly 4.9 billion of those driven in cities, where the hazards are densest. With FSD engaged, Tesla reports 7 times fewer major collisions, 7 times fewer minor collisions, and 5 times fewer off-highway collisions. What makes that interesting is how strictly the company counts against itself. If FSD was active at any point in the 5 seconds before a crash, it goes down as an FSD collision. That includes cases where the driver grabbed the wheel back or the system handed control over right before impact. Tesla also assigns no fault at all. If another car runs a red light and hits a Tesla on FSD, it still counts against FSD. Collisions are defined by federal standard rather than company preference, using airbag deployment for major crashes and a velocity change of 8 km/h within 150 milliseconds for minor ones. The data pipeline behind it is enormous. In one quarter alone, Tesla pulled 2.5 billion telemetry packages from the fleet. Most safety claims in this industry rest on a company's word. This one rests on a fleet that reports on itself, including when it fails. Source: Tesla / Writer: Julie
