Tesla Continues to Walk Back Full Self-Driving Claims

I think a lot of people saw it like a very, very, very expensive Kickstarter. They paid $10k to help make it happen. As is often the case with Kickstarters, it didn't match the hype.

It's not purely speculative. Just hopped on their site to check, these are the features they say you get immediately today:

* Navigate on Autopilot

* Auto Lane Change

* Autopark

* Summon

* Full Self-Driving Computer

* Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control

When Cadillac's Super Cruise option is $2,500, $10K is still a huge premium, but it doesn't look like you can get those features independent of the FSD package from Tesla.

That’s a lie. None of these features actually work. It’s all total bullshit, intended to stave off the inevitable FSD lawsuits. They have pulled off one of the most brazen growth hacks ever. As someone who fell for it, I hope some justice is coming eventually, but I’m not holding my breath

Which part is a lie? You can get those features without paying the $10k?

Saying you get these features today is a lie. They’re all utterly unsafe and clearly nowhere near finished.

I don't know how it compares to Super Cruise but Autopilot is a standard feature now, you don't have to pay anything extra for it.

I don’t think that’s directionally wrong. I bought my first Tesla and all subsequent Tesla’s in part to support the global move to electric vehicles.

I buy the FSD to help move us in that direction. I’m actually happy with their progress so far and I recognize they have a loooooong way to go.

They are making great progress as is the industry as a whole both in electrics and driving Capabilities.
