Our Full Self Future

In Episode 3 of Our Full Self Future, host Koby Pierce visits the 20,000-square-foot headquarters of DIY Wrap Club in Chattanooga to sit down with its founder, Ji. Formerly known as Tesbros, the company has grown from a bedroom startup into a pillar of the Tesla community, providing DIY vinyl and PPF solutions for owners to protect and personalize their vehicles.The conversation tracks Ji’s journey from teaching video production and journalism at Ole Miss to becoming an early Tesla Model 3 adopter in 2018. Ji discusses the origins of his business—solving the "Model 3 door handle" puzzle with simple labels, pioneering DIY chrome deletes—and how he scaled the company through a deep focus on the community and a "test-it-on-my-wife" approach to product development.Transitioning into the future of autonomy, Ji and Koby discuss the staggering progression of Tesla's autonomous systems, from the early Mobileye Autopilot 1.0 days to the current era of Full Self-Driving. Ji recounts his recent experience using Hardware 4 in the complex, sprawling environment of Los Angeles, noting a massive leap in capability and a widening performance gap between Hardware 3 and Hardware 4 in city driving. The two explore the "safety multiplier" effect of human-supervised autonomy, and how the system acts as a tireless, unblinking co-pilot on long, exhausting drives.Finally, the discussion turns toward the next frontier of customization: the Robotaxi and Tesla Optimus. From the "RoboTaxi" stickers that originally started as a simple customer request to the vision of a "Red Optimus" DIY wrap kit, Ji shares his perspective on how aesthetics, community, and robotics will eventually collide.Follow our Host & Guest:https://x.com/koby_piercehttps://x.com/diywrapclubhttps://diywrapclub.comFilmed inside the DIY Wrap Club warehouse in Chattanooga, TN.

In Episode 1 of Our Full Self Future, the host is joined by David Moss, a professional LiDAR salesman, FSD super-user. The conversation takes place while driving through Lexington, Kentucky at night using Tesla Full Self-Driving on Hardware 3. The episode centers on the irony of a LiDAR professional who has driven nearly 12,000 intervention-free miles using a vision-only autonomous system. David discusses his coast-to-coast drive, his upcoming Cannonball Run attempt, and his goal of driving Full Self-Driving in all 50 U.S. states.Beyond the technical debate of LiDAR versus vision, the conversation explores the human motivation behind autonomy. David shares how his father recently went blind, changing his view of autonomous driving from a technical novelty into a tool for independence and accessibility. Technical topics include SLAM, data density, scalability, Hardware 3 versus Hardware 4 limitations, retrofitting challenges, and Full Self-Driving version 14 behavior. The episode also covers why parking lots may be the final major challenge for consumer autonomy and how new occupancy networks and agent-based systems could help solve it.
