I'll accept $99/month to test his product. To emphasize my sincerity, I will add two deliverables: 1) I am going to find all the bugs; and 2) this will be binding on my heirs.
I’m happy to pay $99/month for this product. Been driving it last 2 weeks and don’t want to go back to AP. It makes mistakes, sure, but it is predictable. I can chill out in the car with 2.5 hr commute 3 days/week
This is not a legally approved FSD. Elon never bothered to get it certified in some safety lab. There are currently 200-300 court cases where a Tesla has caused injury or damage to property:
That's an old video from 2 years ago. FSD changed a lot in the mean time. I would agree with you then, and I had the car for 4 years now, and I am only planning to subscribe because it seems dependable enough. I am aware it is not scientific and I won't let of the steering wheel until it is. Nevertheless I can be half present in most of the circumstances. Unless it is a busy, tight street it won't matter to me, because all I am doing is commute on the interstate with lane switching for the most part.
Musk has (repeatedly) make claims about the product he is selling will, within months, have much greater capabilities as soon as they push out the software release. Seven or more years later it isn't FSD. I'm amazed that Musk hasn't suffered the consequences of such "misleading" claims about the product.
If Intel said our new chip is already fantastic, and in a few months we will have a microcode patch that will make it 100% faster and will be the most performant CPU in the world, then failed to delivery, how many lawsuits would there be? The people who bought the product on the false promise, and the people who invested based on the unambiguous claims from the CEO that turned out to be a lie. The SEC would probably sue as well.
I think it depends how you say it. Nothing you say on stage is binding. If the fine print on the contract you signed said it, it would be a different story.
I have heard that Tesla does not use the capacitive touch/sense technology that other automakers use and so relies on detecting the current increase or something from the driver wiggling the wheel or slightly moving it.
Musk may be often full of hot air, but it's comforting to see that Tesla, a public company unlike SpaceX or Twitter, still has to make normal business decisions like slashing prices at the end of the quarter or adding a markup on the Cybertruck, in order to meet its sales targets.
