What will it take to make you seriously consider an EV?

Safety monitors were an expected and necessary starting point in Austin. When they are removed, everything changes. Unlike Waymo, Tesla can infinitely scale robotaxis almost instantaneously. The general public does not realize this, nor do they understand the ramifications.

I doubt very much this happens before the end of the year, but I’ll reassess when FSD 14 comes out in a few weeks.

For the record, I’ll repeat that I was a long time, hard core FSD skeptic. But the release and then shockingly rapid improvement of FSD 12 last year was such a huge leap I began to change my mind. FSD 13 was another big step.

The expectations of v.14 are sky high, but I’ve been down that road the last 7 years of lies and exaggerations. However, the past 12 months should open anyone’s mind to what might happen even if you have an extremely low opinion of Musk‘s character.

 

Sure thing Elon

 

Wasn't this always a complete boondoggle bunch of govt cheese bullshit? We knew this from the beginning, right?

 

"Autonomous taxis and cars are fine..."

"Safety monitors were an expected and necessary starting point in Austin"

Uh huh.
