I admit it, I was WRONG... Today was the day MIDDY 1.0 was given a new lease on life by Tesla's amazing AI team. Thanks team! You really can experience some V14 goodness on potato cameras! Also, we talk about the future of FSD and some of the trends that tell us what's coming!
Our first experience with MIDDY 2.0 driving us from our house in Saint Peters, MO to Nashville, TN via Jasper IN was so boring and yet so amazing. Not one intervention or disengagement. We tell the tale as well as share our most recent trip to Indy for the 2026 Final Four!
In the first of a three part series, we talk about how we got to this point in our personal multi-year journey as an FSD beta tester And sure enough, Elon announced last night that 14.3 is in the hands of employees... Told Ya!
I wasn't expecting to hear much about HW3 on the conference call with Optimus, Robotaxi, and Semi being the stars of the show, well, and Energy too. But what wasn't said spoke volumes on the future of HW3 cars. See if you agree with me...

After nearly five years, it's time for MIDDY 2.0! We'll share the experience of ordering our third Tesla vehicle purchase with you!
We took advantage of our adventure in watching Blue Origin's first launch of New Glenn to try out FSD 12.6.1. We share our first impressions after getting a 2nd Wave Version Lottery Win and explain how one version of Tesla software and two versions of FSD can be downloaded to HW3 and HW4 cars at the same time...
This is a LONG episode because there is SO MUCH different between MIDDY 1.0, our 2020 Tesla Model Y and the upcoming "Juniper" refresh of the 2025 Model Y. Just be glad I didn't include all the software changes, we would have been here for DAYS! And yes, Grok did the rendering...
