In less than a year, you will be able to go from east coast to west during your sleep. That was said in 2016 IIRC. 8 years later we’re still waiting for it, and it’s not anywhere close.

You are an enabler of this fraud. Great for you that you love it.

FWIW, I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. Even ignoring needing to get out of the car to plug in, it can't park itself at a charger. It can barely navigate parking lots in general as evidenced by the terrible results of Smart Summon (which I did not try during my FSD trial because fuck that).

I'm an enabler only in the sense that I bought a Tesla. I did not buy FSD.

And if it's worth anything to you, while I do love my Model 3, I would not buy a Tesla today for reasons far beyond lies about FSD capability timelines.

Fair, but I still don’t understand why someone would buy from a car from a company, while knowing they lie about the car capabilities and safety to their customers and shareholders.
