Oh, and he didn’t stop there:

None of us has a real clue what this proposed vehicle will look like, but we did go and try to render the CyberSUV based on the small clay model images that we saw teased back in the Master Plan 4 video last September:

Just when we thought we were done with guys like this… this is in from tonight in Australia:

Tesla showroom and three Teslas in Parramatta, Australia were burned down. Tesla confirms it was not vehicle-related, likely arson.

Three Teslas were burned down and at least two more sustained damages in the apparent attack, though no injuries were reported. Tesla Australia spokesperson confirmed:

There’s no info around the motives so far, but it doesn’t take much to guess…

The interesting part is, that Tesla is actually looked mostly favorably in Australia and the sales has been on a rise.

Is this the highest FSD usage recorded in the world? Keith Wisner has driven 52,176 out of 52,356 miles on FSD, since V14.2 came out.

Jesse posted news on the unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin: “Tesla Unsupervised Geofence expanded! It’s across the river now and taking me downtown.”

Tesla has lowered their Robotaxi minimum rider age to 8 years old (from 13 years old). "Riders aged 8-17 must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized adult for the duration of the ride."

Here’s a good drone view to compare the real size of the Cybercab to the Model Y, by Joe Tegtmeyer:

Elon on Tesla FSD simulation training:

Although to be fair, I can specifically remember a video that had this exact situation in real life, with Tesla performing exactly like that. I should go look it up…

FSD video, although maybe a little exaggerated in caption: "Tesla FSD saves a school bus full of children! My Model Y Performance braked so hard that everything on my seats ended up on the floor."

FSD video: "This Cybertruck on Tesla FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 reversed by itself at an intersection to create space after a semi truck took a very wide turn."

Tesla has released a new video on their blog showcasing David Moss and his recent cross-country trip on FSD (Supervised) with zero disengagements. The funny part is David is actually a LiDAR salesman... although for construction purposes.

A new Tesla Optimus video teases upgraded hands, engineers share manufacturing insights. The caption starts with “Optimus will be the biggest product ever made.”

Also, a new Optimus team picture from around Christmas time shows, I think, for the first time an Optimus without the chest panel, showing where its "brain" is:

Tesla was supposed to show Optimus Gen 3 in Q1, which ends… today. Elon shared that “Optimus 3 is walking around, but needs some finishing touches before it’s ready to be shown”

… Superchargers.

Tesla has introduced its Folding Unit Superchargers, a new pre-assembled charging solution designed to reduce costs by 20% or more and significantly accelerate deployment, seemingly by 2x. Here’s a video of it in action.

China: Tesla launches Supercharger Highway project, deployed 55 highway service area V4 Supercharger stations in Chongqing, China. The initial rollout covers 55 service areas with 212 charging stalls across 10 major highways.

I wish Tesla would do such great graphics work also in the North American side:
