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.

    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

    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.

    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.
