Tesla changes meaning of 'Full Self-Driving', gives up on promise of autonomy

I was about to say this. Elon would go on stage and say something like “and this is something we can do today”, or “coming next year” in 2018. The crowd goes wild, the stock price shoots up.

The first time could be an honest mistake, but after a certain point we have to assume that it’s just a lie to boost the stock price.

The stock price hasn't dropped though, the opposite rather.

I know. That’s my point; he just goes on stage and lies, the stock price goes up and it doesn’t appear to correct itself despite the boost being based on a lie.

I don’t care about the stock price, but I guess I wouldn’t mind a refund for the FSD I purchased in 2018 that wasn’t actually delivered. The high stock price just means the company should have more capital available to issue those refunds?
