Is it FSD, or is it the volatile Nazi at the head of the company?
Genuinely both, but the latter is the #1 reason. Seriously though, it’s like every Tesla accident I hear about is FSD related. I get that people are dumb (in general), but it’s not entirely their fault when Elon keeps/kept talking about how FSD is really “full” self driving.
Anyone who buys the fsd license at this point deserves the disappointment. It’s been “a year or two away” for a decade now. At some point, ignorance isn’t a good excuse. I think that point was before 2020. In 2025, you have to actively avoid or block out the information that musk is a grifting Nazi.
It’s like the people that buy into the idea that ICE is only deporting criminals. You have to either be in deep denial, or a complete idiot.
Look at the robo taxi situation they have going. The same tech that is stopping people off in the middle of the road is what is being used for FSD.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out that the whole thing is a scam and there is some sweat shop full of teenagers remotely driving cars. I feel like the random stops where they shouldn’t stop is exactly how someone who learns how to drive playing GTA would drive.
hey I bet that would change if they fixed it killing people.
Part of what pisses me off is that Tesla doesn’t use LiDAR, it uses cameras. So in sub optional conditions, like the ones where it kills people, LiDAR would resolve those outlier cases.
But he’ll never do that because he likes how his own farts smell.
I like driving fast cars, I don’t need a shitty computer to try to do it for me.
Also I don’t like giving money to nazis.
It’s the Nazi shit. Not the product itself. Just like Canada’s grassroots boycott of american goods. It’s the implied invasion 51st state talk, not the tariffs.
Also lack of trust in a product that requires due diligence, accountability, and transparency to implement properly, something we’ve seen from competitors but with Tesla it’s only Elon’s hand-wavy assurances which tend to be an indicator of what WON’T be delivered rather than what will. So it’s Elon, but not just the fact that he’s a Nazi.
It’s been my experience that people are really resistant to handing over control to the computer - not FSD, but simple active cruise control and lane centring.
Personally I like it, because I can offload some cognitive load while still being actively involved in driving; I don’t trust any of the self driving tech to be unsupervised.
If only they would have given Elmo his 50 billion dollar pay package, they wouldn’t be in this mess…
/s
But they did…
Just 50 more bro, I swear, this will fix it!
