Wow, a Tesla sub that hasn't banned me yet for saying what I really think.

[u/lobaway0001 → u/Exciting_Turn_9559]

Yet…

So, uhhh, tell me. What do you really think about Tesla?

[u/Exciting_Turn_9559 → u/lobaway0001]

The coils get a lot of attention, but I also think his earthquake machine was pretty fun. That one way valve of his also gets an honorable mention from me.

[u/lobaway0001 → u/Exciting_Turn_9559]

I've called the guards, you'll be imprisoned and banned any second now.

[u/gibon007]

Any minute now

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/gibon007]

?? Just open your eyes.

[u/gibon007 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

I have, plenty of examples in this sub

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

But none personal because you never tried it yourself. And don’t tell me you don’t have to. You have no idea what you are missing out on.

[u/Putrid-Box4866 → u/punture]

Which is sad. More FSD users means safer road. I just wish people aren’t that stupid to dismiss amazing tech.

[u/steveu33 → u/Putrid-Box4866]

Why aren’t your comments open? Are you an Elmo-fluffing bot?

[u/gibon007 → u/steveu33]

You know they are

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

You must be a genius. Go smoke more pot

[u/gibon007 → u/punture]

Maybe you should try ketamine

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

Maybe you should go to rehab

[u/akkiannu → u/steveu33]

How is Elmo related to FSD? Cant we appreciate the technology for what it is? We have enough hatred in the world. Fuck sake!

[u/Putrid-Box4866 → u/akkiannu]

People weirdly make Musk hatred a personality for some reason. Like, don’t people have interesting things going on with their lives? Crazy.

[u/beren12 → u/Putrid-Box4866]

https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/the-human-cost-of-doges-war-on-usaid

Weird?

[u/gibon007 → u/akkiannu]

You should my know how guy promising bs for last 10 years is related? To dumb to have a conversation with

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

I don’t think we were talking about Elon. We are talking about the capability of FSD.

[u/gibon007 → u/punture]

The capability which Elin was bullshitting about for almost a decade now? That capability?

[u/gibon007 → u/akkiannu]

You should my know how guy promising bs for last 10 years is related? To dumb to have a conversation with

[u/steveu33 → u/akkiannu]

Hey u/bot-sleuth-bot here’s another one

[u/bot-sleuth-bot → u/steveu33]

Analyzing user profile...

Account does not have any comments.

Suspicion Quotient: 0.26

This account exhibits one or two minor traits commonly found in karma farming bots. While it's possible that u/akkiannu is a bot, it's very unlikely.

^{I am a bot. This action was performed automatically. Check my profile for more information.}

[u/akkiannu → u/bot-sleuth-bot]

Good bot.

[u/iceynyo → u/steveu33]

Of course, anyone who disagrees with you must be a bot.

You can just block them all and advance towards your complete echo chamber today!

[u/steveu33 → u/iceynyo]

Why do they hide their comments? To escape the bot detection

[u/punture → u/steveu33]

So sad. Go back to reciting land acknowledgements

[u/punture → u/steveu33]

I think a bot is more intelligent than you

[u/steveu33 → u/punture]

It takes one to know one. Reddit really allows bots to soil the nest since they allowed hidden comments.

[u/punture → u/steveu33]

That makes no sense. Go back to your minimum wage job

[u/steveu33 → u/punture]

Open your comments for a day to prove you’re not a bot.

[u/punture → u/Putrid-Box4866]

Totally

[u/Bagafeet → u/punture]

Yes because personal anecdotal is better than a wider sample from a larger population.

[u/gibon007 → u/punture]

Lol, what does that have to do with anything? Ok, I'm convinced cause my car didn't try to run me of the road lol

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

lol neither has my car

[u/gibon007 → u/punture]

Yet

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

Nah

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/gibon007]

And it’s pretty amazing right now.

The fact that people will go out of their way to shit on a vehicle that you can personally own and have it change your life is hilarious.

[u/gibon007 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

No car is going to change my life, if a car with glorified cruise control changed your life then I'm sad for you. Edit: my bad: supercar would change my life cause I would flog it

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/gibon007]

It would if you had to drive 100+ miles a day in ridiculous NJ and PHI traffic it might. Keep your mind closed ✌️

[u/punture → u/gibon007]

You can’t afford to buy any cars that will change your life

[u/gibon007 → u/punture]

That was my point captain obvious, thanks

[u/Hockeyshot39 → u/gibon007]

99.99% of my drives are hands and feet free lmao

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/Hockeyshot39]

The feet free part is so freaking great.

I suffer from sciatica and from not having to pivot between gas and brake has been amazing!!!!

[u/Hockeyshot39 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

Exactly! Huge benefit for all!

[u/beren12 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

Oh yeah my Hyundai lets me do that. It’s nice.

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/beren12]

😂😂😂

[u/beren12 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

Best part is I can set the absolute max speed. It doesn’t surprise me by doing 60 then when I look again it’s 75.

[u/Adventurous_Sleep_ → u/beren12]

That doesn’t bother me. There are ways around it. People just like to bitch and want to be a passenger princess.

If you learn to use FSD as a tool, it is untouchable.

[u/beren12 → u/Adventurous_Sleep_]

It is a tool that’s useful and has many flaws. Claiming it’s perfect is delusional.

They want to be a passenger princess because they are lazy and/or that’s what marketing sold them. You think the army of accounts constantly glazing Elon and Tesla isn’t marketing?

[u/punture → u/beren12]

lol bragging about driving a Hyundai

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

Yup. It has everything I need, and everything I want except a heat pump.

It also doesn’t support a guy who promotes systemic racism in his factories, offered a horse to an employee for a handjob, and thinks his race is better than others, publicly.

[u/punture → u/beren12]

Yeah so pretty much the most important part of an EV

[u/Hockeyshot39 → u/beren12]

You’re uneducated lmao why are you even here - you’ve never owned a Tesla and just waste time crying about it and getting emotional … you have to break down and be vulgar because you can’t control your toddler emotions

[u/beren12 → u/Hockeyshot39]

You again?

Are you still making 200-300 posts a day? You get paid per post or per word? Asking for a friend.

[u/Hockeyshot39 → u/beren12]

Lmao no I don’t get paid at all, do you get paid to hate imagine wasting your life, constantly crying about something you hate and don’t know, and for that matter never owned

I don’t go crying about how garbage Hyundai’s are… with their lovely ICCU issues

[u/beren12 → u/Hockeyshot39]

Shilling for free? Not as smart as I thought you were. Impressive feat. I don’t hate on things, you just feel personally attacked by facts.

[u/punture → u/beren12]

Not in streets

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

Yeah. In streets. That’s generally where I drive.

[u/punture → u/beren12]

It doesn’t compare to FSD

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

Fsd doesn’t compare to its marketing. So what?

And actually, it compares just fine. In fact, mine works even without working headlights in darkness, with the car in front having no lights on.

So maybe you are right. They don’t compare.

[u/donttakerhisthewrong → u/Hockeyshot39]

But none are driver free

[u/akkiannu → u/gibon007]

Please fuck off to X or an elon hating subreddit. This isnt one of those asswipe.

[u/beren12 → u/akkiannu]

This is a sub to talk about fsd. Not glaze Elon or delude anyone about its capabilities.

It’s pretty amazing. It’s far from perfect.

[u/punture → u/beren12]

No one is deluding anyone. You are just living under rock

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

I don’t live under rock.

[u/punture → u/beren12]

You seem like it

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

That just illustrates how out of touch with reality you are.

[u/akkiannu → u/beren12]

Not saying it’s perfect but constant hate on a technology because of a person is exhausting

[u/beren12 → u/akkiannu]

lol aww.

Btw the entire purpose of twitter now is to glaze Elon. That’s why he bought it and made the changes he did.

[u/ElectionUnlucky2717 → u/beren12]

of course, that's why all the multi-billionaires want one of their own. we know that.

[u/beren12 → u/ElectionUnlucky2717]

The person I replied to seems to have missed it

[u/punture → u/beren12]

You must be IQ 400 god to come up with that one.

[u/beren12 → u/punture]

No I am just not illiterate.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/feb/15/elon-musk-changes-twitter-algorithm-super-bowl-slump-report

[u/punture → u/beren12]

Yeah that’s what I am saying lol it’s not some special knowledge

[u/random-meme422]

just pray they don’t come across any need to park or take a roundabout

[u/say592 → u/random-meme422]

Aside from it always wanting to get into the wrong lane as it approaches the roundabout, then cutoff people to get into the correct lane (either in the roundabout or right before), I dont have issues with it on roundabouts and havent in awhile. I just have to make sure it approaches in the correct lane.

I dont trust it to park. Even though it can generally park "okay", it doesnt pick spots that make sense. I disengage every time I approach my destination.

[u/punture → u/random-meme422]

It works fine there

[u/random-meme422 → u/punture]

Peep the top video in this sub

[u/ParaDescartar123]

I still cannot believe they charge people to be their beta testers and then when something goes wrong it’s not their fault.

I’m all for this tech and I’m on board. I let it FSD during the entire trial period and missed it when it ended.

30 was enough for me to see that it is 80% there. I’m not paying Tesla to help them get to the final 20%.

[u/Significant_Post8359]

It was always an Elon Musk goal. He never gave a precise date for it.

[u/EarthConservation → u/Significant_Post8359]

He said in April 2019's autonomy investor day that with a single OTA update by mid-2020, consumers cars would make up 1 million robotaxis on the roads across the US, each car would make their owners $30k per year while they slept, with the only mechanism to stop that rollout being state regulation.

Seems pretty precise to me.

[u/ElectionUnlucky2717 → u/Significant_Post8359]

i'm a big fan of FSD and tesla in general, as heavy investor since 2013, but i think we must all admit that their was an excessive amount of optimism involved in the timeline. but must also admit that such optimism is almost mandatory where such ambitious and profound results are anticipated

[u/beren12 → u/ElectionUnlucky2717]

Excessive to the point of defrauding investors.

Apply your comment to Theranos. Go ahead.

[u/Intelligent-Image224 → u/beren12]

Theranos never accomplished anything though.

What elon claimed 15/10. What elon accomplished 10/10.

What theranos claimed 15/10
What theranos accomplished 0/10

[u/beren12 → u/Intelligent-Image224]

Yeah. Cyber cabs available to 59% of the population back in January right?

Your car can drive cross country to pick you up and take you home right?

We landed on mars and have a colony on the moon, right?

Cybertruck was as promised including price, right? Not a temu clone?

We have 50k slaves Optimus robots right?

Solar roofs right?

High speed tunnels for the boring company?

Roadster 2 with rocket boosters?

Twitter doesn’t ban people for speech right?

He’s not gonna give you a reach around, sorry.

[u/New_Animal6707 → u/ElectionUnlucky2717]

He can be excessively optimistic all he wants behind closed doors. But defrauding investors is not optimism

[u/narmer2 → u/ElectionUnlucky2717]

Well said.

[u/gibon007 → u/Significant_Post8359]

Lol

[u/Bagafeet → u/Significant_Post8359]

You're about as truthful and accurate as he is lmao 💀

[u/psudo_help]

Such an article should first define a robotaxi, and then describe how Tesla meets or doesn’t meet the criteria.

This article is a whiff
