US Top News and Analysis | We tried out xAI's Grok chatbot while driving a Tesla in NYC. Here's what happened. AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. CNBC took Tesla owner and lawyer Mike Nelson on a New York City drive to test xAI’s Grok chatbot, now available in‑vehicle on a beta basis. Nelson, who has used Grok for months, describes it as his primary source of on‑the‑road entertainment, asking the AI everything from gardening tips to historical trivia while the car’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system is engaged. While the voice‑activated assistant can handle navigation and answer a wide range of questions, the ride‑along highlighted serious safety concerns: Nelson admitted he was not paying attention while crossing the busy George Washington Bridge, and experts warn that such AI‑driven conversations add a new layer of distraction to an already risky multitasking environment, especially as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration probes FSD’s safety record. Grok also demonstrated reliability issues—misanswering control commands and even offering an unrestricted “NSFW” mode that sparked worries about minors accessing inappropriate content. Overall, the technology is seen as impressive but potentially dangerous until its impact on driver focus is better understood.

@ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social @Infoseepage@mastodon.social @thatdnaguy@genomic.social You can get #SXM -> #PCIe x16 adaptor boards on eNay & ShitExpress, you know… Similarly, there are (3D-printable) air ducts to shove 40/80/120mm fans onto those #Tesla & #Grid cards.I'm certain that if there's enough of those cards on the market that we'll see even 3rd party #LiquidCooling blocks and mounting Adaptors. I mean, I've seen and done weirder shit, like "fully-passive cooled" Gaming Systems, and those were way harder in the past…

#Tesla’s #Elon #Musk admits that #FSD does not seem possible with the older HW3 hardware and will require camera and computer updates. I’ve been saying this for years and, if I’m honest, I don’t think HW4 can do it either. Not in the sense of full autonomy (which is how FSD was always sold as a vision). https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/22/elon-musk-admits-millions-of-tesla-owners-need-upgrades-for-true-full-self-driving/

First step on getting out of a Model 3 with no 12V power if you are in the rear seat, ie, if you are in an accident and the car is on fire and the door latches aren't working. Per Tesla: "...Remove the bolt that attaches the access panel to the underside of the armrest...." https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-64796E6B-139E-41D5-B019-79A28D205E68.html #tesla

Tesla had solid sales in China in 2025 which helped counter balance shrinking sales on Europe and the US. In the first quarter of 2026 Tesla sold 16% less cars in China than the previous year while US sales dropped 9% the first quarter. Sales in Europe, its 3rd biggest market have rebounded, but won't be enough help Tesla return to growth. Tesla is not only no longer a sales growrh stock, but is now a shrink stock. Karma for Mr. Nazi aka Musk. #Tesla https://electrek.co/2026/04/09/tesla-tsla-china-retail-sales-crash-q1-2026-wholesale-misleading/

The secretive network offers a glimpse into just how central one of the world’s richest men, who has a net worth of more than $650 billion, has made #Texas to his operations & ambitions. More than 50 of his at least 90 companies there are subsidiaries or other entities affiliated with his #business #empire, such as the rocket company #SpaceX & the electric vehicle maker #Tesla, as well as his nonprofit #Musk Foundation. #law #fraud #elite #impunity #money #power

If you're going to sieg heil a #Tesla owner, make sure to flip them off. You don't want them thinking you're a fan. 🖕 😅 If it's a #Cybertruck, pointing and laughing is probably sufficient. #ProTip

Saw a bumper sticker: “Vintage Tesla: Pre-Madness edition”. That inspired me to go check: #Tesla’s stock price is down 20% this year. No crash, just a long, slow decline. When gas prices are shooting up and an EV maker isn’t profiting, it gives me an optimistic feeling.

undefined | Tesla wins Dutch approval to use self-driving features, a first for Europe Tesla owners in the Netherlands have become the first in Europe to be allowed to use Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) feature. The Dutch vehicle‑type approval agency (RDW) announced that, provided the driver remains in the seat and keeps a watchful eye on the system, the driver‑assistance function—covering steering, braking, navigation and parking—can be activated on Dutch roads. The decision mirrors the United States’ rules for the same feature and the agency said the technology has been examined for more than a year and a half on test tracks and public roads, with safety as its top priority. The RDW stressed that the supervised mode is not full autonomy; the driver must stay ready to take control at any moment, and responsibility for the vehicle remains with the human operator. Tesla’s European subsidiary welcomed the approval, announcing that “FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands & will begin rolling out shortly,” and Elon Musk added congratulations on the platform X. The agency’s decision now awaits endorsement from the European Commission so that the national certification can be recognized across the EU. The approval comes as Tesla faces a tougher market in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, where sales have slowed amid concerns over Musk’s political activism and increasing competition from Chinese electric‑vehicle makers. Critics note that while the supervised feature offers a new selling point, it also highlights the regulatory and public‑trust challenges Tesla must navigate to expand its advanced driver‑assistance technologies throughout Europe.

While it looks like a cheaper #tesla is in the cards, again, I don't think I'd buy one given #musk 's antics these past few years (e.g. #doge ) #electricvehicles #evs https://www.theverge.com/transportation/909196/tesla-cheap-affordable-ev-musk-model-2?view_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IlRGb041MnhqUUUiLCJwIjoiL3RyYW5zcG9ydGF0aW9uLzkwOTE5Ni90ZXNsYS1jaGVhcC1hZmZvcmRhYmxlLWV2LW11c2stbW9kZWwtMiIsImV4cCI6MTc3NjIxNDE3MSwiaWF0IjoxNzc1NzgyMTcxfQ.Od8N0ct8Q0Wpc_Ys_SOttVexzmGdZcGKY-uPM4RdvWo&utm_medium=gift-link

undefined | 5 Burning Questions About Elon Musk’s Terafab Chip Partnership with Intel by Lauren Goode, Paresh Dave Intel’s chief executive announced that the chipmaker will “work closely” with Elon Musk on his ambitious Terafab project — a multi‑location, terawatt‑scale chip‑fabrication operation that would serve SpaceX, Tesla and Musk’s broader AI and robotics ambitions. The partnership was highlighted by a photo of Musk and Intel CEO Lip‑Bu Tan shaking hands in front of an Intel sign, but the details remain vague. Intel says its ability to design, fabricate and package ultra‑high‑performance chips at scale will help accelerate a goal of producing one terawatt of computing power a year, while Musk has long spoken of needing an in‑house fab to meet the massive chip demand of his companies. Analysts are questioning what the deal actually entails. No SEC filings have been made, suggesting the agreement may be limited to handshakes for now, and Intel’s public statement offers little specificity. The most likely contribution appears to be Intel’s advanced‑packaging expertise, allowing Tesla to use Intel’s process‑design kits without upsetting existing relationships with TSMC. At the same time, Musk is expected to demand heavy customization—Tesla previously designed its own A16 chip with Samsung’s manufacturing support, and similar licensing or co‑development arrangements are anticipated with Intel. Ownership of the resulting intellectual property is also unclear; Intel would likely retain rights to the manufacturing know‑how while Musk’s teams would create their own “recipe” for chip production. Even if the technical collaboration can be defined, practical hurdles loom. Musk has not disclosed where the Terafab will be built, though construction is underway on a massive chip‑design lab at Tesla’s Austin campus, and Texas faces a shortage of skilled tradespeople needed for semiconductor factories. Labor scarcity, safety concerns from past Gigafactory projects, and the competitive bidding for construction crews could slow progress. Intel’s reputation for safer, more sustainable site practices may help mitigate some of these risks, but analysts remain skeptical about whether a brand‑new, end‑to‑end fab of this scale can be realized in the near term.

HSBC bank, the 7th largest bank in the world by assets, has issued guidance for investors to reduce Tesla stock ownership. Its analyst predicts a possible drop to 130 dollars a share from 355. Tesla is a car company with declining sales with a valuation based on speculative products in AI and Robotics yet to be successfully produced. Of course, if one wants to support a fascist eugenicist this (or Palantir) is the stock for you. #Tesla https://www.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/hsbc-flags-alarming-risk-for-tesla-stock-investors

Agi: Spara 10 colpi contro l'abitazione di Rihanna, fermata una donna AGI - Una donna è stata fermata dalla polizia per aver presumibilmente sparato circa dieci colpi con un fucile AR-15 contro l'abitazione della cantante Rihanna in California. Lo ha riferito il Dipartimento di Polizia di Los Angeles (LAPD) ai media locali. Non sono stati segnalati feriti, nè è noto il movente dell'attacco. La sparatoria è avvenuta intorno alle 13:21 ora locale (19:21 GMT), quando la sospettata si sarebbe avvicinata alla proprietà dell'artista e avrebbe sparato circa 10 colpi. Quattro dei colpi hanno raggiunto l'abitazione e almeno uno ha penetrato i muri, ha riferito una fonte della polizia al Los Angeles Times e alla NBC. La cantante di "Umbrella" e "Diamonds in the Sky" era in casa durante l'attacco, ma non è rimasta ferita e non ha rilasciato dichiarazioni sull'accaduto. La presunta responsabile, una donna di 30 anni, è in custodia cautelare. Le autorità non hanno specificato se anche il suo compagno, il rapper A$AP Rocky, o i suoi tre figli fossero presenti nella villa di Beverly Hills. La sospettata, che guidava una Tesla bianca, ha tentato di fuggire, ma la polizia l'ha raggiunta. Shoot 10 shots at Rihanna’s house, woman arrested A woman was stopped by police for allegedly firing approximately ten shots with an AR-15 rifle at the home of singer Rihanna in California. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) informed local media. No injuries were reported, and the motive for the attack is unknown.

Corriere.it - Homepage: Tesla, la sfida di Musk ai sindacati in Germania: «Cogestione? Restino fuori o ce ne andiamo» Musk, si sa, odia i sindacati: ma la Germania li prevede per legge con la formula della «cogestione». E quindi, l’elezione del nuovo consiglio di fabbrica della Tesla ha assunto dimensioni epiche Tesla’s Musk challenges German unions: “Co-determination? Let them stay out or we leave.” Musk, as you know, hates unions: but Germany legally provides for them with the “co-determination” formula. And therefore, the election of the new factory council for Tesla has taken epic proportions. #Tesla #German #Germany https://www.corriere.it/economia/lavoro/26_marzo_04/tesla-musk-in-germania-sfida-i-sindacati-cogestione-restino-fuori-o-saltano-gli-investimenti-e95fee90-1837-471b-8493-4903700a2xlk.shtml

At this point it would be a news flash if Tesla European sales merely stabilized. Sales in January were down 49.5% from the same month in 2025. US sales in the same period declined 17%. Europeans want a Tesla in their garage about as much as they want a swastika. We in the states need to emulate Europe.
