He is the modern day pied piper telling his devoted fans to buy his Fools Self Driving (FSD) contraption and gives lots of false promises so that he can keep the scam running and for his customers to keep believing his lies that it will be Level 5 'real soon'™ by these so-called 'updates'.

So far with this Fools Self Driving deception:

    Claim 1: 'Full Level 5 Autonomy by end of 2019' (2019) [0]
    Reality: As of this year 2022, it is still Level 2.

    Claim 2: '1 Million robo-taxis on the road by the end of 2020' (2019) [1] 
    Reality: As of this year 2022, ZERO Tesla robo-taxis on the road.

    Claim 3: 'Tesla's FSD tech will have Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021' (2021) [2]
    Reality: As of this year 2022, it is admittedly Level 2.

    Claim 4: "I would be shocked if Tesla does not achieve FSD that is safer than human drivers this year" (2022) [3]
    Reality: Clearly it still isn't any safer 8 months ago. [4]
So even if we have given them more time since those claims in 2019, nothing has changed.

Not only it was admitted to be Level 2, [5] and still requires the full attention of the driver having their eyes on the road, they have ever continuously raised the prices on a system that clearly doesn't work as advertised in order to get customers to FOMO into purchasing it.

A complete scam of a contraption that can only be perfectly described as a 'Fools Self Driving' system.

Don't forget that Tesla released a doctored video clamining the problem was solved, past tense, all the way back in 2016.

I do not understand how they continue to get away with it.
