Millin Bear and Gail Alfar interview in Austin, Texas.
(Austin, Texas)
This is the 33rd Gail’s Tesla Podcast episode. We are having a conversation with Millin Bear, and then going on a drive on FSD beta 11.4.7.2 in the lovely Westside of Austin, Texas to Pease Park, home of Eeyore’s Birthday Party.
It is interesting to note that Tesla’s beautiful Cybertruck has not only inspired Millin Bear to create a business (CyberTruckRentalsUSA.com) , it has served as a catalyst for many other businesses. All said, if there is a shortage of trucks produced by Ford, Inc. in Kentucky or elsewhere due to the strikes mandated by the UAW, Cybertruck will play an even bigger role in filling the demand for reliable utility vehicles.
Join us for a fun and relaxing podcast!

Tesla FSD Beta version 11.4.7.2 takes you through canyon roads, around hairpin turns and up to Mount Bonnell in Austin.
This is my 32nd Podcast, and it is dedicated to my dog Latte RIP 2013-2023. Latte loved going to Mount Bonnell with its pretty views, the interesting people, and the many other dogs there. I wanted to do this podcast in his memory.

This was a hard day for our family, we lost our beloved dog, Latte, today. He was a wonderful and loyal little guy, thankfully, he had a good run in his life. I wanted to do a podcast in his honor, so I did one to a place that he once loved, Mount Bonnell on the West side of Austin, Texas. I also went to a BBQ spot where he (of course) loved getting rib bones from when they were available.
Come with me on this drive that includes a series of hairpin turns on very narrow and often unpainted roads.

Apologies for getting the podcast numbers a little mixed up, this was the 32nd Podcast, though I labeled it the 31st one!
This drive is on Tesla FSD beat version 11.4.7.2
Users on X sent me condolences
When I shared on X that my dog passed away, I was comforted by over 175 people posting condolences and sharing their own thoughts and prayers. This was unexpected.
Send a little thought today – just lost my sweet dog – he was a good & loving creature that our whole family will miss 👋🏻 bye bye Latte 💔 miss you

Come along for a flawless drive on FSD beta 11.4.7 to check out some different electric bikes in Austin, Texas. These bikes are easy to operate and are very fast. I tested out a few bikes and really enjoyed the hospitality of the folks at the Bike Farm at 5440 Burnet Road in Austin.
Come join me for our 28th podcast with info on FSDbeta 11.4.7 and buying eBikes ⚡️🔋 pic.twitter.com/oPJ5Z6j7a6

When you use Autopilot in your Tesla, be sure to always supervise the vehicle.

For this episode, we are joined by a journalist who exclusively reports on building construction with 3D printing. We will visit a 3D-printed home in Austin, Texas. In a brief interview, Jarett explains how these homes are made.
FSD Beta
As with almost every podcast I do, we will drive through narrow and very challenging streets in Austin. In this case, FSD beta slows for safety as it encounters a construction site.
Enjoy the podcast.
This was a really fun podcast to record, I hope you’ll enjoy it too. FSD beta + 3D printed homes in Austin with @JarettGross XXV 🏠 pic.twitter.com/65HDGvf1si

Join me for a drive in the infamous Austin heat. It is hot and windy out and we are heading to a rather dry Lake Travis. The hairpin turns would scare anybody who is driving manually. But we are not driving manually. The vehicle is running on Tesla’s amazing FSD beta software.
While safety is number 1 for Tesla, having fun is a close second! This drive is short ( only 3:37 minutes long) and very fun!
welcome to my 24th podcast where, despite 105° heat, FSD beta works perfectly on hairpin turns on one of the most difficult roads near Austin pic.twitter.com/i7LFw6oNYJ

This podcast is very different from all my other episodes. I received several “strikes” on my FSD beta software from Tesla, and so I temporarily lost the use of FSD beta. This podcast details how difficult it is to drive exclusively on what I call, “human pilot.”
Human pilot is where I am using only my two eyes and my own human neural net to drive the car.
It is a bit hard to explain why this is important, but the main point has to do with lack of safety. Driving on human pilot is significantly less safe than driving using Tesla Autopilot or Tesla FSD beta. Enjoy the podcast.
welcome to my podcast, no. 23, what happens when you can’t use FSDbeta? (suspension) let’s analyze the human neural net in downtown atx together 🙂 we’ll also talk about Waymo and Cruise, from an earlier X Space today pic.twitter.com/HmJdqM9gsQ
In this episode, we’ll also cross paths with other autonomous cars (driverless) in Austin, Texas, such as “Cruise” vehicles.

Join me for a zero disengagement drive on Tesla FSD beta in Austin traffic, near Austin construction, all during sunset. We will visit famous Rainey Street and also see several autonomous “Cruise” vehicles.
In this podcast, I also explain how revenue from my subscribers on the X App is used to help me rent a small office space downtown so that I can dedicate time to documenting Tesla FSD beta.
Tesla FSD Beta as a Historical Event
I feel fortunate to be documenting Tesla’s autonomy and its progress in my videos and on this blog. I know that Tesla is making history. I am certain that Elon Musk is deploying everything he can to bring us to a future with Robotaxi cars. Each one of my podcast episodes is a documentation of how fast Tesla is advancing in artificial intelligence.
correction: my post on X says this is podcast 20, this is an error, it is podcast 21.
Hey guys, I recorded this last night. It’s Tesla FSD beta working great in Austin, Texas. This is my 20th Podcast episode. Enjoy 🏄🏼☀️✨
