    Are we underestimating what features Tesla could leverage with the cameras + AI

    Neither the current hardware nor network capability are anywhere near this. The hardware struggles with its own processing, let alone swarms of additional video.

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    As I mentioned the last time Elon shot off about an eminent but non-existent robotaxi service… until we see evidence of him hiring the engineers and staff to support billing, ride hailing, customer support, and emergency operators, this is a big vaporware. People in the industry talk, and if he...

    Waymo

    The best part is that the Waymo is covered in cameras, while the punks only seem interested in hiding their faces from onlookers. They probably have full LiDAR scans of them!

    Tesla promoting self-driving video was staged

    I’m one of those owners. Based on Tesla’s lies, I believed full FSD was imminent in 2016

    Tesla promoting self-driving video was staged

    Exactly! I leased a 2016 Model S with FSD option because this video + statements from Elon misled me into thinking FSD was imminent. Needless to say, it was not delivered before my lease expired.

    Karpathy leaves - what's next for AP/FSD?

    Latter was famously only at Tesla for a few months, compared to the 12 years he spent making his name at Apple. Musk has a knack for burning through talent.

    FSD is a fraud

    Repeat buyer here. Leased a Model S in 2016. Replaced it with purchased 2019 Model S and 2019 model 3. Both have FSD. I’ve evangelized Tesla to all my friends and family since 2016. But not any more. FSD was a cheat. Car workmanship has been shoddy. Musk turned into a d-bag whose actions have...

    Tried a FSD subscription. It's not worth it...

    So basically you use it to do long freeway drives, which are what you show here. That’s always where it has shined, and I’ve been using Autopilot on these same roads since 2016. But FSD on the city streets in San Jose is a wide-awake nightmare.

    Debating adding FSD to existing order at $10K

    I live ten miles from the Fremont factory, where Tesla was HQ’ed before Elon wanted his big tax break. One of Tesla’s head service managers lives across the street. Doesn’t matter. It’s a parlor trick that still tries to run me into pedestrian crosswalk barriers ever time. Try before you buy...

    "There's going to be a dedicated robotaxi, it's going to look quite futuristic"

    Why is this an either / or? He could still dream big and just be honest.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    I can understand that people want to give Musk the benefit of the doubt as “optimistic” or just “ambitious” when he misses his predictions. But he did truly give away that he’s a liar in 2019-2020. Specifically, when he was claiming that there would be a million Tesla robotaxis deployed by the...

    On the Fence- To FSD or Not to FSD

    I was in your shoes a few years ago and chose to buy FSD, both on a 2019 lease S and a 2019 purchased 3. I, too, was very concerned about the price increases if I postponed. Having just gotten the FSD on the lease and seen where it is compared to expectations, I now expect the price is more...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Finally got FSD on my 2019 Model S, 6 months before my lease ends. Yay! Decided to try it out on a one mile drive home from the big mall here in San Jose, CA mostly down a major residential / business street. Pros When pedestrians stepped into the street at the nearby garden, the car handled...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    The day he offers FSD buyers a refund is the day I’ll believe he’s getting better.
