Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 86: Conversation with Zachary Sisson

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

Join us for a great conversation with Zachary Sisson, one of Austin’s most influential people in both advocating for and building mountain bike trails. He shares his insight and encouragement through the voice of sign language interpreter Danny Gong.

You will notice, that, in addition to having an amazing and relaxed conversation, we are also riding in Saphire, my Model Y, running Tesla FSD 12.5.

An interview AND a trip around Austin on FSD.

So, this software allows us to move around the city hands-free. Without this tech, I would not be able to carry on an interview because I would have to be constantly fidgeting with the steering wheel nag (which Tesla has thankfully removed in the 12.5 software releases).

The coming age of abundance.

We’ll discuss mountain biking in Austin, the coming age of abundance, and how advanced engineering is magic! You’ll also love how Saphire took us to Whataburger, and when we did not park and get out, she then navigated right into the drive-through!

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 85: Conversation with Little Humans Big Impact

Gail Alfar1 Comment

Join me for a conversation with the inspiring woman behind the account on X known as Little Humans Big Impact.

We discuss how her account name came about, her experience in Starbase, Texas, and whether we think Elon Musk will spend time in Washington DC if Donald Trump is re-elected president.

Recently, Elon Musk followed and subscribed to her account on the X platform. This is a pretty rare honor, so I ask her about how that felt, and her first reactions.

We also encounter a near-accident in this video and I include the dashcam clip for you.

Our video is also dedicated to a friend of ours who unexpectedly passed away. Julia Love died way to young. Hers is a celebration of life, and we do honor the great value of life,a dn acknowledge how important it is. I’ll leave you with this great quote,

“To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 79: Elevator Metaphor

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

This episode of the podcast makes the accurate comparison of the future of Tesla autonomy to riding on an elevator.

You enter an elevator, you press a button for the floor you have to go to, and the elevator takes you there. It is a driverless system. Many years ago, however, ALL elevators had an “operator.” Now, that seems absurd. Likewise it will one day seem absurd to have a car be “operated” by a human. The video explains more, enjoy.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 77: FSD from Airport –> Gigafactory Texas

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

(Austin, Texas) What is it like if you were to fly into the Austin airport and drive to the Tesla Gigafactory? How long would the drive take? This is where you can find that out, and you can come along with me to experience it in this video.

Three Facts About Gigafactory Texas

ONE Giga Texas is not just a factory; it’s a sprawling 2,500-acre complex that’s larger than the Pentagon! Elon Musk even joked about turning it into an “ecological paradise” with butterflies and birds. Maybe they’ll start offering nature tours.

TWO The factory is so massive that driving alongside it at highway speeds takes almost a minute to go from one end to the other. That’s a lot of Teslas!

THREE Speaking of which, Giga Texas produces the Cybertruck, Tesla’s futuristic, stainless steel-clad pickup truck. It’s like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Enjoy the video (at 9:30 some extraordinary AI art is featured)

In this video, I have used the AI art of a few talented people on X as a filter. This special art presentation starts around 9 minutes, 30 seconds in! See if you can spot the art by Deborah and K10 on X. Their accounts are amazing. Elon Musk shared one AI art, and I am unsure if he created it or if it was a gift to him from an AI artist.

ART FEATURE

Enjoy art created and shared by (in order) Deborah, K10, and Elon Musk.

Giga Texas Computer Data Center

As we watch the video, we’ll closely examine the new construction of the Tesla FSD or Robotaxi Datacenter. It looks like a Gemstone on a super-large scale!

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 73: John Stringer of TOSV

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

(Austin, Texas) There are times when you are exhausted, and it’s easy to procrastinate and put things off. This is not John Stringer. Despite jet lag and exhaustion, he had the energy to take a red-eye flight to Austin, Texas for the Tesla Shareholder Meeting 2024 at Giga Texas. If that was not enough, he also had the extra energy to join my Podcast for episode 73. We met with Joseph Jefferson and Tony Chung (as cameraman for me). Both John and Joseph also volunteer as Presidents of local Tesla Clubs in California. John is the president of Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (Joseph founded Tesla Owners San Joaquin Valley).

In this video, we meet exclusively with John and talk about Elon Musk’s Tesla compensation package. We also tested FSD around the busy Austin Airport area during the conversation and the software is exceptionally smooth, this is what enables me to be so relaxed while conducting a short podcast simultaneously while being responsible for the car. Enjoy Podcast Episode 73.

In upcoming episodes we will meet Tony Chung and Joseph Jefferson.

Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 62: Quick Experience in Cybertruck with The Boring Dad

Gail AlfarLeave a comment

Austin, Texas.

We are joined by The Boring Dad on X and his amazing son for a quick tour of the delightful Cybertruck and also a stunning ride on Tesla FSD (Supervised).

A video of a Video!

In this podcast, we have 2 videographers. Myself and Jay, who is the Boring dad’s son. This made for a really hilarious podcast. Here’s a cut photo from the video. This is the first time I’ve ever shared a video of myself making a video while someone else was making a video of me! This was really fun to edit!

Hope you enjoy!
