Just wrapped up an epic 12-hour driving weekend up to North Bay to celebrate my grandmother’s 102nd birthday! 🎉🎂
With hotels completely sold out across town, I had to transform the Tesla into a $0 hotel suite for the weekend. Full video showing how Camp Mode handled the stay along with the Snuuzu mattress and Jowua Shades
Drop a "Happy 102nd Birthday!" in the comments for my grandma! 👇❤️

Parallel parking on a busy downtown street is still one of the biggest stress tests for Full Self-Driving. 🚗🅿️
We put Tesla FSD v14.3.5 to the test in tight downtown traffic to see if it could handle tight parallel parking without disengagements.
How confident are you in letting FSD parallel park your Tesla on a tight city street?

🚨 QUICK QUESTION FOR TESLA OWNERS: If your car completely lost 12V power right now, would you know how to pop the frunk and get inside using only physical overrides?
Most owners have no idea that the rear door emergency releases are hidden under the pocket liners, or that you can jump-start the hood latch from the front bumper. I just dropped a complete breakdown of the 7 Essential Manual Overrides that every owner needs to memorize before getting stranded.

Tesla just dropped the brand-new Model Y L Launch Series on the US configurator, and the pricing is causing a massive divide in the community. It’s starting at $61,990, but here is the absolute kicker: unlike past launch editions, that $62k price tag does not include lifetime Full Self-Driving. You are only getting a one-year FSD software trial.
So, you’re looking at a financial premium for the extended chassis, an exclusive cosmetic badge, and a temporary software rental. You do get all upgrade options included but if you weren't planning on those upgrades then is it worth it?
Drop your thoughts in the comments below—are you locking in an order, or is this a hard pass for you? 👇

FSD v14.2.2.5 vs. a Canadian Freak Blizzard. ❄️ One section of this drive was the best I've ever seen the AI handle... and another section ended with a curb strike. Is 'Sentience' enough for zero-visibility snow?

Would you trust FSD in a whiteout?

Is it just me, or is this "new" 45.9.1 update a ghost? 🤨 FSD is still showing v14.2.2.4, but I just found a bizarre "Infinity Loop" glitch at Costco that definitely wasn't there before.

I spent the night in the Model Y at -10°C just to see if the Snuuzu mattress is worth the hype. ❄️ Is it actually hotel quality or is it just marketing? The results surprised me. Video dropping now!

Tesla just dropped FSD v14.2.2.4 and there are some serious undocumented changes. Grok has been in the car for months, but this update makes the AI/Car integration feel way more seamless.
I took it through a 'blind' stress test today—unmarked emergency vehicles, dynamic AI rerouting and responsiveness. The results were not what I expected.

Elon just confirmed it: The Fremont lines for the Model S and X are officially being gutted. 🏗️ They're making room for 1 MILLION Optimus robots a year. Is this a genius pivot to AI, or is Tesla abandoning its legacy?
