## Quoted post @cb_doge

> Larry is 98 years old, and he bought a Tesla Model Y because of Full Self-Driving.
> 
> His first car was a 1931 Ford Model A. After 80 years behind the wheel, he says driving with Tesla FSD feels more relaxing. He even took his Model Y on a road trip to Colorado and called the drive “a breeze.”
> 
> For older drivers, that extra help can take some of the stress out of a busy drive across town. It can also make it easier to say yes to a weekend with the grandkids.
> 
> I love that Tesla is building technology that can help people stay independent as they get older. Being able to tell your family “I’ll come see you this weekend” and make the trip on your own schedule means a lot. ♥️
