Elon Musk Suddenly Realizes That Teslas With "Self-Driving" Computers May Never Be Able to Actually Self-Drive (futurism.com)

"Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true."

Another way to say that, is Tesla scammed all of their customers, since you know, everyone saw this coming...

Yup this is his copout so he doesn't have to produce an entry level vehicle all while cozying up to Trump so he doesn't have to compete with the rest of the world on EVs

I thought he said they would replace the modules to support FSD?

He did. Right in this article it says that they will upgrade the older models for free. This whole post is a circle jerk for Elon haters. I mean, I despise the guy as well but I don’t find distortions to be a useful outlet for that.

What we have is one generation of Tesla cars that might need a free hardware upgrade to fully deliver on the promises that were made.

What the post and most of the comments heard is “no Tesla can ever self drive and Elon scammed everyone and laughed to the bank.”

It’s just embarrassing. At this point I filter Elon content not only because I don’t want to hear what the jerk has done today, but because he whips people up into such a stupor so efficiently.

I feel like this is a recurring theme for the silicon valley billionaires and we reached "Peak Bullshit" at NFTs and ever since then one thing after another has hit wall after wall

Just recently saw a video of an experimental self driving vehicle from Bosch - from the 90's!

You could imagine we'd be much further now, considering how far computing power, computer vision and AI have come.

No, there won't be endless series of recalls and free upgrades for everyone until they finally achieve it as promised, somewhere between 2050 and 3050...

You have to live with it as it is.

Forever? No. Only for as long as you live.

The self refers to the person driving the car
