2024, I didn't ask the dealership guy what hardware powered it (because I don't care), I reviewed it here actually: https://fuelarc.com/cars/review-2024-tesla-model-3-long-range-rwd/

I don't see how it could have gotten much better with a vision-based solution, but who knows? Personally, it wasn't in the same ballpark as acceptable quality for my use-case. I don't expect incremental software patches will fix that to my satisfaction.

Again, I'm weird, never been in an accident and I drive a ton, I'm particular about my car not crashing because I used to be on an ambulance crew and treating car-crash victims really takes the shine off your apple.

Poor anticipation of turns and poor trailing distance. Didn't spot many other vehicles on the road, too, that's ultimately what made me pull the plug.

Naw that's pretty standard today, too! I'm in a 2021 Toyota Tacoma, that thing is bomb proof, I could spray a firehose in the main cabin and the worse damage I would do is, IDK, maybe shorting out the cabin light?

Love ya, thanks for letting us know

Interestingly, it appears to drift in the videos - unclear if while it is powered on if it exceeds the depth rating. I lean towards no? I can't find any extended section of the video where it is either foundering or floating while in motion.

It 100% exceeds the depth rating later (like in your screencap), but it's floating or sliding into deeper water after being bricked.

Pressurizes battery compartment, lifts the suspension to maximum height, and triggers a few off-road adjacent drive train features IIRC

Well, that's what the manual says, but this Cybertruck's battery pack was about as pressurized as a submarine with screen doors, so your mileage will DEFINITELY vary

😂 Some of the time, the jokes are hard to shoehorn into the articles. This time? The jokes practically wrote themselves

That's the Full Self Wading mode, it'll be out in 6 months, but purchase it with a monthly fee today!

This got me thinking, you're right, how can it be a boat if it can't float?

Turns out, everything is bigger in Texas, including the legal definition of what constitutes a boat.

Is it motorized, above 14 feet in length, and afloat, docked, or stored on Texas waters? Then it's a boat that needs to be registered, fam.

 

Pretty sure that's an F on the Wade Mode test.

 

Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

(saw that, I agree, I bet it will be Tokyo next)

 

TL;DR: Between May 2025 and May 2026, Waymo’s recall-scope count of autonomous cabs rose from 1,212 vehicles to 3,791 vehicles.

That is more than a 3x increase in the Waymo fleet size in roughly one year, a major acceleration that dwarfs Tesla's faltering Robotaxi rollout.

Another day, another Cybertruck being towed from somewhere nobody really ought to need a tow from. Take a look, Toyota Sienna to the rescue.

 

TLDR: Since Tesla’s June 2025 robotaxi launch, Tesla has built a 39-vehicle unsupervised fleet, while Waymo has a newly disclosed 3,791-vehicle U.S. fleet. So Tesla appears to be on pace to catch up with Waymo’s autonomous fleet size by the year 2111.

LOL!

TLDR: Tesla will have as many robotaxis as Waymo in the year 2111, if the current growth rate holds (and if Waymo doesn't add a single additional vehicle). So... I'm guessing the Tesla stock price will skyrocket.

Automobile dashboards now join Nokia phones, blood pressure cuffs, and battery packs made from potatoes: they can all run DOOM!

 

Doom runs on potato batteries, blood pressure cuffs, and now, your car dash!

 

If you can't safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

 

Amazon says “objects” struck a data center in the UAE, throwing sparks and starting a fire. Almost certainly due to the ongoing war.

Separately, another data center is offline due to a "localized power issue."
