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.
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.
FSD = Fulla Shit Driving
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.
Or the lie that it’s full self driving in general.
I only recently found out that FSD treats you like a poorly behaved toddler, with its stupid strike system. For those who are unaware, if the car doesn’t think you’re holding on to the steering wheel and paying attention to the road, it gives you a strike. Once you have one strike, you can’t use FSD for the duration of that drive. Once you get three strikes, it’s disabled for an indeterminate time period, typically a week, but you can find reports of drivers being locked out for a year or longer. Keep in mind, this is a feature you have to pay extra money for, on a subscription basis
My Subaru doesn’t give a shit if I accidentally let go of the steering wheel on a drive with its its lane keep assist system enabled, it just beeps at me with increasing urgency, while still doing its job
I’m sure it hands out strikes if you’re driving in a straight line for long periods.
More than once I’ve been warned to keep my hands on the wheel because the highway is long and straight.
Imagine paying $50,000 to be bossed around by shitty AI.
With Supervised FSD, there’s no need to touch the steering wheel. Only with Autosteer Beta do you need to keep a hand on the steering wheel, and that’s free.
It’s also either lifetime or a monthly fee which you can cancel anytime. For my Model S it’s $11K Canadian for lifetime or $100CAD/mo for monthly which means it’d take me over 8 years to break even between the two.
I like Supervised FSD but I wouldn’t pay for lifetime and I only really use it when I’m doing long road trips. It’s awesome for that but I don’t rely on it for daily driving. I do think it drives better than 95% of drivers out there which is impressive.
$100 a month? That’s fucked
Its worth is highly subjective. I used it for 2 months as I had 2 long road trips and it was definitely worth it for me as it makes the long drive so much easier. With FSD, it’s still much cheaper than driving an ICE and there are way more benefits. To each his own though. Not everyone can afford a Model S.
EVs being better than ICE is no defense of Tesla’s bullshit.
Honestly sounds like you have buyers remorse. Most modern cars in tha last 8 years or so come with some level of assisted driving but it’s not really part of the marketing, it’s just expected to be included.
I would also regret buying a new car that locked away built-in technology behind a pay wall.
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!
This month Musk got another $29 billion worth of Tesla shares.
