There is no such thing as evolution, only a list of species Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

@elonmusk @Tesla I’d love to. I paid for it on four two cars in australia, starting almost a decade ago. When are you planning to enable it for me?

Herre is the written summary of the podcast released last week about the merits of the Cheaper Home Battery scheme having a battery system 'interoperability' requirement ... https://t.co/eiCmrLxLaQ

A podcast about the home battery issue nobody warned you about when you bought one … https://t.co/Xy5IIjwdzG

@DunkenKBliths @SawyerMerritt @Jason @Tesla What you said. And the decision to halt new sales of up front licenses just underscores that a refund, preferably with interest, would be a rational solution.

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@Timmojames Sure… ‘prepare for disappointment’

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@elonmusk Cool, can I please have my money back for my four fully paid , useless, FSD licenses on vehicles on which it does not currently work ?

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@Timmojames @TeslaAUNZ @cybertruck Some of us are waiting for FSD as well :)

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@Tesla V14 drives you door to door - but not having it drives AU HW3 owners … mad :)

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@Lynestel @thejuicemedia @slsandpet Actually not correct, as video accessible without a login is - obviously - not subject to access control.

And it’s quite breezy up here today

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

A very fine day in the office :)

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@colster6000 @RichardSndor The fundamental issue right now is lack of communication about these issues, to long term customers. Plenty of funds going to advertisements and lining up happy influencers to spruik new car sales. No resource directed to respecting and communicating to existing customer base.

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

“Thank you for your loyalty”? Gah. After 8+ years on multiple cars, how about just delivering me the outcome I pre-paid for, on the cars I paid for it to be on…and at least tell me *when* you’ll be doing the HW4 hardware update to make it happen, because FSD clearly needs it…

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@colster6000 @RichardSndor We just need @TeslaAUNZ to make a statement to paying customers, vs our collective guesswork and imagination about what they *might* be thinking/doing. Meantime the only public comms is national airport advertising for FSD(S) being here now. Except for where it isn’t …

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@colster6000 @RichardSndor I drove a HW3 vehicle with FSD-Supervised in the USA last year.

The commitment we paid for was for Full Self Driving (not ‘supervised’). The commitment for that included any necessary hardware updates.

Right now the air is full of the smell of burning bridges. No communication.

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@colster6000 @RichardSndor All of which may be technically interesting, but the reality is that there is a broken commitment that needs fixing. I don’t mind how they fix it, but they need to fix it. Upgrading vehicle hardware is the obvious way.

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@tbtechy @Tesla Yeah, I don’t know.

[Simon Hackett @simonhackett]

@tbtechy I don’t know whether it’s vehicle specific. We bought FSD on an S, and X, and a 3 and a Y. I paid thousands more each on the S and X to bring them up to HW3 , to avoid losing cell coverage when 3G ended. I strongly believe it’s on @Tesla to take it to HW4 if that’s what’s needed.
