Hey S3XY 🧤, Reliance is India’s premier energy, oil, retail and telecom giant and is currently in talks with Tesla over potential JV for manufacturing setup in the country.
Since discussions are in initial phases, Tesla might also find very able partner by the name of ‘Tata’, which is yet another Indian or rather say global business house (hard to find a industry they are not present in); is more diverse and comes with hands on automobile experience (owns Tata Motors, Jaguar and Land Rover among others).
Also they had previously secured huge partnership deals on manufacturing front i.e. Apple’s manufacturing partner and is a go to preferred partner for MNCs to their India foray.
Only time will tell how this Indian story unfolds.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:
Generalised AI for robots.
Cruise to comeback.
Mysterious CyberTruck battery pack.
Adam Jonas 8/8 predictions.

Dan O’Dowd of The Dawn Project posted a video of FSD v12.3.3 failure, to which Pro FSD tester ‘Miss Jillybean’ challenged and asked Dan if he would do same test with him behind the wheels and see if he could save the subject.
Surprisingly he is up for it.
To the @Tesla Cultists who said The Dawn Project was scared to recreate our tests with "mind-blowing" FSD v12, we finally got 12.3.3 and ran the tests.
Unsurprisingly, the safety critical defects we found haven't been fixed and FSD will still run down a child crossing the road.

Top 10 reasons for disengagement over FSD v12.3.3.
I LOVE FSD v12.3.3, but I still disengage most drives--and here I give my top 10 reasons for disengagements, along with how challenging I think it'll be for @Tesla_AI to resolve each issue. Numbers 4-10 shouldn't be too bad (IMO) but 1-3 will, I think take more time and effort.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
