i suspect that's the real goal here. get as many people as possible subscribed to it and then stonewall them when they realize and try to cancel. that's definitely how elon thinks

I think he knows the upcoming quarterly earnings report is going to be real bad and wants something he can point to an say "look at all the new signups to our high-margin product!" This is the best idea he could come up with at 2:15 AM.

having a feature that you're calling "full self drivingbeta" and may in fact kill you if you don't monitor it and installing it on every vehicle with no notice sounds like a really good idea and totally won't create loads of accidents, he really is a genius

I really wonder what part of his weird drug brain can associate "I'm a free speech absolutist" with "I'm suing some people for saying bad things about my company"

it's super cool that government resources are going into this

elon was made accountable for his words exactly one time in his life, and we continue to suffer for his purchase of twitter. people who aren't accountable for their words say whatever the gently caress they want

Yeah, he does it every quarter. I think last quarter was the announcement that Tesla is becoming an AI company.

but that was just pumping the share price directly.

this thing he's doing now is a sales directive that will take some time to filter through to reality.
he can say 'going forward,' implying he wants it right away, but it takes a few days before it's reality, and by then it's Q2

two more examples of musk being lovely

https://theintercept.com/2024/03/25/elon-musk-x-dataminr-surveillance-privacy/
Elon Musk Fought Government Surveillance — While Profiting Off Government Surveillance
Musk made hay of his legal battle against secret surveillance but continued selling X user data to a company that facilitates government monitoring.

and more damningly from NBC https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/elon-musk-x-bans-revealing-names-anonymous-users-cartoon-rcna144486
Elon Musk's X bans revealing the names of anonymous users after scrutiny of an antisemitic cartoonist
Some X users said the move was another example of Musk going out of his way to defend neo-Nazis, antisemites and white supremacists.

both good at highlighting what we all know is obvious, but the more people associate him with being a bootlicking nazi gently caress the better imo

I bet they want the owner to be behind the wheel "supervising" for liability purposes too, which mean the owner is basically being forced to test drive their own car and drive the tesla nerd around.

you have to love the idea of forcing every new tesla owner to risk a traffic incident in their brand new vehicle before they're allowed to drive it home.

if they actually do this on 100% of delivered vehicles it's going to juice the collision stats

They're going to manicure the route to be as FSD friendly as possible.

And yet I agree, it will still slam the stats lol

Imo it's a terrible idea for tesla to expose 100% of its users to how awful FSD is. They did the right thing by hiding it behind several obstacles (including sunk cost) to make sure only the most devoted bazinga tries it.

i looked it up before posting, it sounds like there was a local pilot anyway. plus there was some evidence of a power failure prior to the crash.

but yeah i figured the answer was everyone just replying "dei 🤣👅"
