Silicon Valley 101's latest in-depth video interviewed multiple former Tesla software and hardware engineers, and shared quite a few internal stories that have rarely been made public:
🔹 Musk believed "humans only have two eyes," cut one front-facing camera, and slammed the table and cursed at people during meetings. Later, a blind spot appeared at the front of the car, so it was added back 🔹 The three-chip motherboard was already made, but one or two months before mass production it was changed back to dual-chip because it was "too expensive" 🔹 The real reason for removing radar is said to be that suppliers ran out of stock during the pandemic, not that the technology was already mature 🔹 The end-to-end overhaul reduced 300,000 lines of code to 2,000 lines 🔹 The AI5 chip project was reportedly concealed by its lead for a long time; "two more months" was said for almost a year, after which Musk fired a batch of people 🔹 The cost of the entire HW4 autonomous driving hardware is roughly equivalent to an iPad
📍 At the beginning of the video there is also an on-site test ride of the Cybercab in Austin: two seats, no steering wheel, and no pedals.
💡 The video's conclusion: 13 years later, Tesla and Waymo's two approaches still have not produced a winner. Autonomous driving has entered the second half, where what is compared is safety, cost, and scale; the technical route is no longer the key.
(Note: The internal stories come from the interviewees' personal accounts)

🔴 [Analyst wording] Tesla rolls out 2026.38.3 update, launching Halloween mode
Summary: Not a Tesla App reports that Tesla has rolled out Halloween mode with software update 2026.38.3, including a ghost car avatar, graveyard parking scene, Trick or Treat mode, Halloween light show, and spooky sound effects, confirmed to support AMD infotainment system vehicles.
Content summary:
After teasing last week, Tesla has now officially rolled out Halloween mode with the 2026.38.3 update. In its announcement on X, Tesla said the update turns the vehicle into a "haunted house on wheels."
When enabled, the vehicle avatar becomes a ghost draped in a white sheet; when parked, the full-screen visualization switches to a graveyard scene, including a full moon, haunted house, dead trees, glowing jack-o'-lanterns, and zombie hands reaching out of the ground; when a door opens, the ghost car opens its door in sync, and a skeleton climbs into the vehicle.
While driving, the vehicle keeps its ghost form in the navigation visualization, surrounding vehicles turn green, and pedestrians become walking skeletons; when using FSD (Supervised), the path ahead changes from blue to purple.
Trick or Treat mode is like an enhanced version of Sentry Mode: when someone approaches after you leave the vehicle, it plays spooky sound effects and flashes the lights, while still recording as usual; it also adds a new Halloween light show, new lock sound, Halloween-themed wraps, a Polaroid-style photo booth, and spooky Boombox voice lines.
This mode is confirmed to support AMD infotainment system vehicles; support for Intel vehicles is unconfirmed; due to graphics performance limitations, Intel vehicles will not get the full-screen parking scene and new photo booth stickers, but custom wraps and lock sounds should carry over, while the Halloween driving visuals remain uncertain.
The same version update also brings Emergency Drive Away (immediately disconnecting from a Supercharger and driving away in an emergency) and Powershare Home Backup for the new Model 3 and Model Y.
航拍画面显示,金色Cybercab成排占据停车场大部分区域,红白配色的Model Y robotaxi沿边缘列队。休斯顿是特斯拉提供Robotaxi服务的七个美国市场之一,服务区约25平方英里,位于城市西北部沿290号公路一带,目前运行完全无监督的Model Y载客服务;Cybercab载客目前仅限奥斯汀。
Electrek 报道称特斯拉已为 Model 3 和 Model Y 开启 Powershare Home Backup 功能,此前仅 Cybertruck 支持该功能,但该功能需搭配 Powerwall 3 且仅保障 2026 年 10 月 1 日后下订的车辆。

Summary
Electrek 报道称特斯拉已为 Model 3 和 Model Y 开启 Powershare Home Backup 功能,此前仅 Cybertruck 支持该功能,但该功能需搭配 Powerwall 3 且仅保障 2026 年 10 月 1 日后下订的车辆。
Key points
Tesla Energy 在 X 上宣布,Powershare Home Backup 现已面向配备 Powerwall 3 的新 Model 3 和 Model Y 开放,车辆可将电池电量回充至家庭,在停电时延长备用供电时间。
特斯拉更新的 Powershare 页面显示,该功能目前适用于所有 Cybertruck,以及 2026 年 10 月 1 日及之后下订的所有新 Model 3 和 Model Y;适用地区为美国和波多黎各。
使用条件为:家庭需装有 Powerwall 3 和 Wall Connector 或 Universal Wall Connector,将车辆插电后,电网断电时车辆电池可延长家庭备用供电;特斯拉称 Model 3 或 Model Y 在日用电 30 kWh 的家庭中,从 90% 电量起步可增加超过两天的备用电量,标准版车型为最多两天,Cybertruck 为超过三天;Powerwall 系统最大持续输出为 11.52 kW。
若已拥有 Powerwall 3 和 Wall Connector,特斯拉称无需额外硬件,但需联系特斯拉客服开启该功能;Model 3 和 Model Y 不支持 Powershare Gateway,不支持向电网售电,Model S 和 Model X 不包含在内,加拿大官网仍将 Powershare 列为 Cybertruck 专属功能。
特斯拉脚注称保障仅覆盖 2026 年 10 月 1 日后在美国和波多黎各下订的车辆;此前生产的 Model 3 和 Model Y 中“部分但非全部”具备该能力,取决于是否搭载特斯拉称为 PCS2 Lite 的逆变器,车主可在触摸屏的软件、附加车辆信息中查看 Powershare Support 是否已启用;Powerwall 2 和 Powerwall+ 的支持标注为即将推出。
福特于 2022 年在 F-150 Lightning 上推出家庭备用供电,输出 9.6 kW;通用汽车 2023 年承诺在 2026 车型年将车辆到家庭功能覆盖所有 Ultium 平台电动车,其兼容列表已包括 Equinox EV、Blazer EV、Silverado EV、2027 Bolt、GMC Sierra EV 和 Hummer EV 以及五款凯迪拉克;起亚通过 Wallbox 双向充电器在 EV9 上提供该功能。

On the second day that Tesla Cybercab was open to the public in Austin, blogger Dave Lee took two rides, each over 40 minutes. His verdict: better than expected.
✅ The good parts
Lots of legroom, quiet interior, comfortable seats
22-inch large screen, nothing blocking the front, reclining the seat to watch YouTube is like watching TV at home
No steering wheel, pedals, or dashboard, so there's none of the awkward feeling of "where did the driver go"; he said it actually made him feel safer
⚠️ The shortcomings
The chassis is on the stiff side, close to the ride feel of Model 3, and could be tuned to be more comfortable
The windows can only be opened a small crack
On average you have to wait 40 to 45 minutes to get a car
💡 His judgment: once a city has several thousand Cybercabs and the wait time drops to around 5 minutes, the shape of ride-hailing may be rewritten.
