The Record · 5 min read
What would happen if every day went on the record?
One report card for each day of one Model Y: the jobs done, the miles driven and how much of it was on FSD (Supervised). The day, the week, the month, the quarter and the year, each with the one before it.
Since August 23, 2026: 58 days on the record, 4,765.5 miles driven in all, 95.3% FSD (Supervised). Delivery work: $1,652 earned over 21 days, and the apps counted 982.9 miles on the 15 days they gave them. All income $1,752, of which $100.00 came from a direct client.

The calendar
driven, darker is more miles · income logged, darker is more · rest day, the car did not move · charge-only day · not on the record, a gap and never a zero. The Legend.

Corrections
- Oct 16, corrected Oct 19. No delivery work became One Uber Eats delivery, $10.06. The app's activity list, read on Oct 19, shows one delivery that day. The earlier word was about the car show work, which stays on the record.
- Oct 8, corrected Oct 9. $56.00 became $56.25. Direct client income was entered from memory; the payment's own screen shows $56.25 and that it was received.
More ways in
How to read a card
- Every day is one of five kinds: driven, rest (the car did not move), charge-only, open (still going) or no car record yet. The Legend says how each is decided and how every figure is made.
- Every card opens on three things: the jobs done, the miles driven, and the share of those miles on FSD (Supervised).
- measured comes from the car or a document: the car’s own record, a charging invoice, the delivery app’s screens.
- modeled is worked out from measured figures.
- stated is the owner’s word, with no document behind it.
- Money is shown by its state: paid, invoiced, pending (the app has credited it, the cash is not yet confirmed in), and booked while it is only agreed. Booked is never added to earned.
- A day the record holds nothing for is a gap, never a zero. A correction is dated and shown on the day it fixes and on every report that counts that day.
- Not shown: where the car goes, when it leaves, a client’s name, an address.
