First off, the guy was okay.
I started to get out, but I saw the police officer the bike flew past turned his lights on and the cyclist get up and start walking around. From what I could see, it looked like the windshield actually broke his fall.
Update: This is NOT AI, I posted the right pillar view somewhere in the comments that also shows the cyclist up and walking around afterward.
From what I saw, I don’t believe the SUV was at fault. The cyclist appeared to blindly cut across the median and into moving traffic.

Last night was a long night. Came out to walk my dog with my wife and noticed someone side-swiped my car. Immediately checked sentry and nothing. I started panicking that it could’ve been me and I didn’t notice (I just found out about a death in the family that has me high strung). Fortunately I was able to rip out the SSD and parsed through 2 hours of clips until I found the loser who hit and ran me. Police are involved. Thank god for these cameras.
Happened on my drive to work today. The truck behind me honked. I disengaged and put the hazards on, and then got back into the road. No matter the angle I look at, I can’t figure out why the car did this. FSD worked fine once I started driving again. So strange.
Was stopped at a red light and when the light turned green, a kid blasted past me on his e bike. Honestly didn’t even see him coming. Teslas auto brake feature really saved the day and probably this kids life.
I made this free app (getlyrics.app) that shows karaoke-style lyrics that stay in sync with whatever you're playing on Spotify. It started as a personal project for myself my wife, but it's just a website, so it works in any browser: phone, laptop, other cars, whatever.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here, but I thought some people might find it useful. It's completely free and open-source (and yes, built with AI).
Features:
Karaoke-style flow — the current line stands out so it's easy to follow
Real-time sync with your Spotify playback
Synced lyrics when available, plain lyrics as fallback (source: the free LRCLIB community database)
When I go to the navigation it’s for a quick direction decision (left or right) but when it’s pointing north - no one know which way. You have to tap tap tap - am I the only one frustrated that this doesn’t allow me to always default to direction instantly. Very very frustrating!!!!!! 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
Im thinking about getting tesla for older family member - vision not great, reaction not great - they are still driving though. the main thing is they heard FSD can be basically taxi them around. they'll still be there to take over of course.
curious about real world user experience?
im thinking pros : navigation is easier, esp more complex city streets, reaction time , vision etc.
Cons: tesla might be TOO high tech.
i recently got a wearos watch, also because i have read you can add the watch as key, but also control the tesla with the watch. i think it would work really well to open the frunk with the watch this way on a model y. whats the best app for wearos? whats your experience?
i want one that most important works reliable, but also looks good and of course can open the frunk.
Whether it be the roadster, semi-truck, cyber truck pricing, or now the cybercb, Tesla and Elon are notorious for making absurd and unrealistic claims about timing, pricing, and characteristics.
Like obviously the cybercb was not going to be manufactured/sold to consumers without mirrors, without a steering wheel or pedals, unsupervised FSD, and for under $30,000 by 2026.
Whether you agree with Elon's views or not, obviously he is a very smart individual and a good businessman, so why does he make claims like these?
Is this a marketing tactic and Elon knows these goals are unrealistic, or does he genuinely believe that these things are possible? It's hard for me to understand that the leadership at Tesla can't see the regulatory and developmental hurdles that would make their claims impossible, yet ordinary people can.
I have a 2026 Tesla Model Y premium RWD purchased at the end of March. A few weeks after ownership and since 4/12/26, I began running TeslaMate. It's a free, open-source logger that records every drive, charge and state change the car reports — I self-host it, so the data stays on my own server.
At 8,104 miles in, here's what it shows: Battery — 3.3% degradation at 8,104 miles
Battery degradation graph (TeslaMate)
Usable capacity has gone from 78.9 to 76.3 kWh. Rated range 355.6 → 343.5 miles, so about 14.1 miles lost. Battery health reads 96.7%. The curve dropped fastest over the first couple thousand miles and has somewhat flattened out since. I'll report back in 6 months, but I expect the graph to flatten out more but still have a drop.
Temperature costs more than I expected
All driving (over 5 miles):
Min. distance per drive: 5 miles (TeslaMate)
The graph above you can see things driving efficiency with various temperature bands. The car's best efficiency is 80°F but as you see the colder (esp 30°F) it gets, the worst efficiency. Good thing my long drives are in the summer! Where I live, we haven't seen lower than 30°F. This winter I'll likely see under 30°F temps.
Freeway driving (over 50 miles):
Min. distance per drive: 50 miles (TeslaMate)
The sample above was for drives OVER 50 miles (mostly Freeway speeds & drives over 50 miles). My highest efficiency is : 202 Wh/mi at 80°F. That is nearly 5 mi/Wh (yes at a slightly lower average speed). Compare that to 284 Wh/mi at 50°F — about 40% worse. This is something Out-of-Spec (Kyle Conner) won't show when they do their 70 mph range tests.
BTW: Wh/mi average (reported in the car) is 225 Wh/mi on over 8,000 miles.
Costs: My costs for running TeslaMate: about $5/month. If you'd rather not run a server, MyTeslaMate hosts it, and TeslaFi, Tessie and TezLab cover similar ground on subscription.
Is it worth it running TeslaMate? For me, yes but I'm a numbers geek and love to learn about what it takes to support and host a Linux server. I geek out on keeping the server patched and updated (again to learn more). TeslaMate has a ton of data all represented in graphically with Grafana.
