Ah, ok! Sorry, but I didn't read your post that way.
I do agree that Tesla should have done a MUCH better job communicating the qualifications for getting accepted into the beta - not just to yoke wheelers, but to everyone. All of the info should have been on the
INITIAL button press screen including:
- which models and years were eligible;
- whether there was a minimum mileage per day requirement;
- whether there was a minimum safety score needed to be in the first wave;
- the end date and time Tesla would use to determine who qualified for the beta; and
- the manner in which those who qualified would find out about their acceptance.
(There also should have been some info as to what would happen next in the process for those who didn't qualify.)
I completely get that IT and cutting edge technology can be unpredictable, riddled with unexpected delays, etc. But the stuff I outlined is really just basic customer service 101. It's the bare minimum one would expect - especially when it comes to dealing with paying customers who are essentially volunteering to test the software without any compensation.
