Imagine unlocking a world where your Tesla's dashboard becomes a shared window to experts or creators from afar—sounds futuristic, right? That's the exciting buzz around Tesla's latest software tweak that's got enthusiasts buzzing.
Let's dive into the details. Renowned Tesla code sleuth, known online as 'green,' recently uncovered something intriguing while picking apart the upcoming Software Update 2025.38. It looks like Tesla is rolling out a screenshare capability right on the center touchscreen of your vehicle. For those new to this, screensharing means mirroring what's on your car's display to another device, like a computer or phone, allowing someone else to see exactly what you're seeing in real-time. The exact ways you'll use it aren't fully spelled out yet, but green spotted code that suggests it'll let you beam the car's screen to a remote location securely.
Picture this: A pop-up alert appears on your Tesla's screen, complete with a simple four-digit PIN to pair it up safely—like a digital handshake to keep things private. Green shared his find on X (formerly Twitter), noting, 'hm, have not noticed at first, but 2025.38 also brings in a “screenshare” service to export the car screen so you can view it remotely (details are unclear yet). When you do it there’s going to be a notification on the screen. Secured by a super-duper static 4-digits pin…' This could open doors for all sorts of practical applications.
One big possibility? Remote technical support. Think about how Apple does this with their devices—support teams hop on your screen to troubleshoot issues without you having to visit a store. Tesla could do the same, making it easier for service pros to guide owners through fixes or diagnostics from miles away. And here's where it ties into something even bigger: the upcoming Robotaxi service. In a driverless cab, if a rider has a question or complaint, screensharing the interface could help remote operators step in quickly, without needing a human driver on board. It's a smart way to scale up autonomous ridesharing.
Good news for older Tesla models too—this isn't just for the flashy new ones with AMD processors. Even vehicles rocking the Intel chips will get in on the action, based on what green dug up in the code. Beyond support, creative folks might love this for sharing Full Self-Driving experiences or the cool Driver Visualization feature, where the car shows what its cameras 'see' on the screen. Imagine streaming that to your followers for epic content—FSD highway maneuvers or urban navigation in vivid detail. As Tesla rolls this out, we'll probably get more official word on the dos and don'ts, but for now, owners are pondering: How will this boost daily driving or turn your Tesla into a content goldmine?
But here's where it gets controversial—does screensharing raise privacy red flags? Sharing your car's view remotely sounds handy, but what if it leads to unintended data leaks? Tesla fans, what do you think—game-changer or too risky? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
Shifting gears to space, hold onto your seats because SpaceX just pulled off a booster landing so flawless, it feels like something out of a sci-fi movie. We're talking about the Starship Super Heavy booster's jaw-dropping hover during its 11th flight test— so precise that folks online are half-joking it's AI-faked.
In a stunning video clip posted by SpaceX, the massive Super Heavy booster—stretching nearly 400 feet tall—descended gracefully back to Earth after its space jaunt. It paused in a perfect hover over the Gulf of Mexico for a heartbeat, showcasing incredible balance, before touching down softly in the water. For beginners, this booster is the powerhouse first stage of the Starship rocket system, designed to lift massive payloads to orbit and return for reuse, slashing the cost of space travel. This near-perfect splashdown wrapped up what was essentially a triumph for the mission, paving the way for Starship's evolution into its V3 version with the next flight.
The stability was unreal; given the booster's enormous size and the challenges of reentering from space (think scorching speeds and fiery plasma), this display screams that SpaceX is laser-focused on maintaining its edge in reusable rocketry. As covered by Space.com, Flight Test 11 nailed all key objectives: deploying fake Starlink satellites, reigniting Raptor engines while in orbit (those are the super-efficient methane-fueled thrusters), and ensuring stable reentries for both the booster and the upper Starship stage. Plus, it was the second reuse of a Super Heavy booster, a huge step toward full reusability—imagine rockets that fly like airplanes, over and over.
Now, the V2 Starship era is bowing out for the beefed-up V3, which promises quicker prep times between launches and room for heavier cargo. Elon Musk has teased on X that SpaceX might attempt catching the upper stage mid-air with the launch tower as soon as spring 2026—talk about ambitious! And this is the part most people miss: While reusability sounds straightforward, pulling it off at this scale could revolutionize everything from satellite launches to Mars missions. But skeptics wonder if the rapid pace risks oversights—do you buy into SpaceX's breakneck innovation, or should they slow down for safety? Let's debate it in the comments.
Elon Musk's empire keeps expanding in unexpected ways— even as he shifts Tesla and SpaceX to Texas, he's doubling down on the Bay Area with Neuralink and xAI. It's like he's got one foot in Austin and the other firmly planted in Silicon Valley's innovation soil.
Fresh reports reveal that Neuralink, Musk's brain-interface venture, has snapped up a whopping five-story, 144,000-square-foot building in South San Francisco at 499 Forbes Boulevard. This spot, originally developed by Aralon Properties and briefly used by biotech firm InterVenn Biosciences (which bailed in 2023), had been empty until now. Meanwhile, xAI—Musk's AI powerhouse—is hunting for an even bigger office in the region, potentially grabbing up to 400,000 square feet combined. For those unfamiliar, this move signals a resurgence of Musk's cutting-edge projects in the heart of tech, despite his companies' Texas relocations for things like lower taxes and more space.
Neuralink, started back in 2016, is all about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)—tiny implants that let your thoughts control gadgets. It's aimed at helping folks with paralysis, like controlling cursors or devices just by thinking. They got FDA greenlight for human trials in 2023, and their first patient, Noland Arbaugh—a quadriplegic—has been blowing minds. Post-implant, he's web-surfing, gaming (think zipping through Mario Kart), diving into neuroscience studies, and even running his smart home—all without moving a muscle. It's restored a slice of independence that's truly inspiring.
But Neuralink's just warming up. Musk posted on X that they're gearing up for Blindsight, their next big thing, with human trials on the horizon. The goal? Give partial vision back to the totally blind by next year— an insanely bold timeline for a device that could redefine accessibility. And here's a controversial angle: While this tech promises miracles, critics worry about ethical pitfalls, like who controls the data from your brain or if it widens inequality. Musk's aggressive targets thrill some and terrify others—do you see Neuralink as humanity's next leap or a Pandora's box? Share your take below.
Finally, Tesla's autonomous future is revving up with Cybercab tests heating up again at key factories. Elon Musk envisions churning out 2 million of these sleek, two-seater robotaxis per year— a volume that could transform urban mobility.
Recent drone videos from the Fremont Factory and Gigafactory Texas show Cybercabs back on the move, sparking fresh excitement. Spotted by veteran drone pilot Joe Tegtmeyer on X, one was cruising South River Road at Giga Texas toward the west side— the first road test he'd seen there in ages. Over at Fremont, another was navigating the test track, appearing to be manually steered, which has Tesla observers buzzing. Why manual? It suggests these prototypes have temporary steering wheels and pedals for safety during development, unlike the final version that's pure autonomy—no wheel, no pedals, just ride.
Tegtmeyer shared footage, captioning: 'Stopped by Giga Texas this afternoon and there was a Cybercab test vehicle driving on the S River Road and to the W side. This is the 1st one I’ve seen driving here in a while. Much more I’ll share soon!' These sightings align with reports of Tesla prepping production gear at Giga Texas, including stockpiled castings (those are the large, single-piece body parts made via gigacasting tech for efficiency). It hints at test runs kicking off soon, building toward full-scale manufacturing.
The Cybercab is set to be Tesla's bestseller, thanks to its 'Unboxed' process—think assembling like a high-tech gadget line rather than a traditional car factory, speeding things up and cutting costs. Musk's 2-million-a-year goal underscores how this could flood cities with affordable, electric autonomous taxis, easing traffic and emissions. But and this is the part most people miss: Manual controls in tests might delay the 'hands-free' promise, fueling debates on readiness. Is Tesla rushing Cybercab to market, or is this the smart way to iron out kinks? What excites (or worries) you most about robotaxis taking over? Let's hear it in the comments!
