We are talking about the group of people who system16 criticized for being "happy with having paid for FSD." Other peoples' needs and wants differ, and characterizing those needs and wants as if they are plain wrong is arrogant.
In the end, who knows? Who cares? If a customer says they are happy with the purchase, why should someone else tell them they are plain wrong? I can disagree, of course, but I should not tell them they're just wrong for being happy.
I don't tell people they're wrong for paying extra for a special paint color.
That's really my problem. You get used with it and start trusting it until it unexpectedly goes straight into that white van.
The trouble is, nobody can afford to employ a hundred thousand professional test drivers.

I think it's true that some people feel that way, and that's fine. But I agree with OP that the others "who honestly believe 'real FSD is only a year away'" are being taken advantage of if not outright defrauded.
