I voted early, to avoid long lines and this time, I voted FOR Trump. Why? Trump is gathering together the best talent including Elon Musk to be part of his team and to bring America to the next level. Remember when the Dem Party unfairly took Biden fishing? That’s when I woke up, and started digging around to understand what the Dems are doing. As an American citizen, I firmly believe only citizens should vote. If free speech dies in the USA, we are the last outpost and it’s gone. After that, talented people (the MVPs) won’t want to immigrate here anymore. We will become a third world country after 100 years and will be a faint memory of history in 1000 years. I want to leave goodness to the next generations here, I’m proud I voted for Trump. Godspeed.

At the close of the interview, I explain that you (the reader of this blog) are invited to Rocket Ranch, to Starbase in general, and it is a great opportunity to see it in the rare early stages that it is in at present.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on đť•Ź Episode No. 84: FSD 12.5 is the Calm During Rush Hour

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

(Austin) For pod 84 please join me for a drive on surface streets only, on Tesla FSD 12.5 during the most challenging time of day in Austin Texas. Rush-hour.

Screenshot

A lovely drive at sunset, it is rush hour, and it still feels relaxing!

How much does Tesla FSD cost?

Tesla vehicles can have FSD for $99/month so you will not have to manually drive. Over the course of 5 years, you’ll spend less than $6000. This is a superb choice as you’ll probably own your car for around 5 years and if you purchase FSD in whole, it will cost you $8000.

Disclaimer: of course, these prices I am sharing are as of September 2024. Prices change.

$99/month versus $8000 over the course of 5 year ownership of your Tesla

This video also includes ASS, what is that?

At 16.48 seconds into this podcast, you will have the chance to see Tesla “Actual Smart Summon” work at 10X speed. I sped up the video because it is boring to watch. We perform ASS in a parking lot that is busy and has ample space. As time passes, we will see Tesla improve ASS quite a bit, these are excellent baby steps! As a test, in one of the sessions, I had the car summon to me with the sunshades on and it was a surprise to people who noticed it!

Tesla ASS rounding a corner.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on đť•Ź Episode No. 76: Tony Chung talks about Tesla FSD

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

Today we are joined by actor Tony Chung as well as John Stringer and Joseph Jefferson (both presidents of their local Tesla owner clubs) for a great conversation about using Tesla FSD to get to the Los Angeles airport, and how easy it makes the driving experience.

The software is so powerful that it can make the smartest choices in any amount of traffic. No two responses are going to be exactly the same with Tesla AI making on-the-spot choices in how to drive.

We were honored that Tony joined us for this great conversation.

Confidence in the Accuracy of Tesla FSD.

Tony Chung shares a smile and a peace sign, and this embodies how I feel about his warm heart, his friendship, and the great future ahead that I know he has. He’s a part of the Tesla community and has much to offer. I’m also proud of his success in acting. He’s on the series King Fu and check out his bio here.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on đť•Ź Episode No. 68: Louisiana warmly welcomes Tesla FSD

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

Not too long ago I took a road trip using FSD to Louisiana, this would be the first road trip with my new Tesla, which I named Saphire of the Blue Bayou.

When I arrived I was greeted by an alligator statue, and soon after, Tesla FSD took me around Lake Charles (home of many old mansions!).

After seeing Lake Charles, I headed to meet Johnna Crider, “would you like to go hunt gaters in the morning?” Johnna was up to it so the next day we hopped in blue bayou and guess what?

Tesla FSD took us flawlessly to Mcgee’s alligator tours, and of course while we awaited our tour, Johnna and I shared with the other folks waiting about FSD.

You should have seen the looks we got, it was so much fun to explain it to people unfamiliar with it!

Here’s the alligator hunt video, shared by Johnna Crider.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on đť•Ź Episode No. 65: FSD V12 to see Texas’ Painted Churches

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

Can Tesla FSD take you all around the Texas Hill Country to see the painted churches?

With Tesla software V12, the safest way to travel around the Texas Hill Country is to use FSD. The roads are narrow, they have unexpected crossroads, and some stop signs are hard to see. I always let Tesla FSD do the driving for me. Come along on a tour of the famous painted churches, located in and around located in the communities of Dubina, High Hill, Moravia, St. John, and Ammannsville. FSD takes us right to their doors!
