Elon admits the human disengaged Autopilot 4 seconds before the crash. Well yeah…if you’re about to crash due to Autopilot making a critical mistake, you’re going to naturally slam on the brakes which disengages Autopilot\Full Self-Driving.
When Tesla is willing to accept 100% liability for crashes involving Full Self-Driving, that’s when we’ll know true autonomy has arrived.
Until then, it’s mostly marketing and smoke and mirrors. 🚗💨
This tweet will soon be 10 years old
There are currently 3 (three) Tesla Superchargers in the world with ≥350 kW stalls
There are currently 0 (zero) Tesla Superchargers in Europe with ≥350 kW stalls
My next tweet will be about BYD's new 1500 kW chargers
after this, I will shut up. just please:
put yourself in the shoes of a customer that:
- bought Model S/X in 2022/2023 (~$140k for a Plaid), or even 3/Y at ~$60-75k
- paid an additional $15k for FSD (12 ½ years worth of subscription at current pricing)
- doesn't have access to latest FSD versions because HW3 (missed cutoff point by a few months)
- can't justify upgrading to HW4 because they’re deeply underwater on their current car
- see $15k FSD purchase option drop by nearly half, even though Tesla said it was only going to get more expensive
- see a great deal on a Cybertruck with "Free FSD Transfer for loyal customers!" advertised right below the Order button. press "Order."
- aren’t chronically online, so miss Tesla quietly changing the terms retroactively
- show up (or are about to show up) for delivery in June only to be told “sorry, we’re not honoring that”
- then went online to figure out what happened… and got hit with “stop wanting things for free!”
these customers exist, and will never buy another Tesla again.
@SawyerMerritt disgusting.. the most loyal customers who paid for FSD on older hw3 vehicles got screwed like big time. Seriously disgusting and unethical.
