🚀 FSD's Supersonic Evolution
Plus: New Tesla patent, Baidu's robotaxi, another Tesla lawsuit and more
Hey S3XY 🧤, OpenAI's latest release has sparked widespread speculation about the trajectory of progress in the world of artificial intelligence, leaving many pondering the rapid evolution of the field. Elon added some of his tidbits in that context.
Musk revealed that FSD version 12.4 is due to beta release next week with ‘5X to 10X improvement in miles per intervention compared to latest running v12.3‘. Please reread that.
What’s even more interesting is that FSD v12.5; expect another multifold improvements, would drop by June end which is just about a month away.
Now for the naysayers, these advancements are occurring at a pace unheard of in the industry, with new and improved versions rolling out every few months rather than years. With such rapid progress month over month, those who doubted the readiness of FSD for Robotaxi deployment after the 8/8 release should reconsider their stance.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:
European EV incentives.
FSD coming to CyberTruck.
Elon debunking fake whispers.
BYD launches ‘Shark‘.
Let’s take a dive..👇🏻

POV on why FSD take rate would be low for now.
But with current rate of progress, things would change in a matter of few months.

5 years since Elon predicted what future holds.
“If you buy a car that does not have the hardware necessary for full self driving, it’s like buying a horse. And the only car that has the hardware necessary for full self driving is a Tesla. People should really think about their purchase of any other vehicle. It’s basically… x.com/i/web/status/1…

The Mythbuster Elon.
I don’t comment on everything, as sometimes I don’t see it and commenting on everything makes it easy to fish for information.
The take rate is much higher than 2%. Please.
