“Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true.”

Another way to say that, is Tesla scammed all of their customers, since you know, everyone saw this coming…

      He did. Right in this article it says that they will upgrade the older models for free. This whole post is a circle jerk for Elon haters. I mean, I despise the guy as well but I don’t find distortions to be a useful outlet for that.

      What we have is one generation of Tesla cars that might need a free hardware upgrade to fully deliver on the promises that were made.

      What the post and most of the comments heard is “no Tesla can ever self drive and Elon scammed everyone and laughed to the bank.”

      It’s just embarrassing. At this point I filter Elon content not only because I don’t want to hear what the jerk has done today, but because he whips people up into such a stupor so efficiently.

        It really is embarrassing. It’s a common theme on Lemmy, Reddit too but not the extremes in large casual subs.

        Left and right both bullshit and exaggerate so many of these stories and it makes them both look like clowns.

        But hey, I’m fully prepared for a bunch of downvotes because this place has the self reflection of a fucking mop.

        P.s. May Biden become supreme overlord and drink the blood of all those who run on a ballot against him.

          Elon hate != leftism.

          Leftist falsehoods != right wing falsehoods (not even close man)

          And this thread != some kind of teaching moment for leftists.

          I think that’s all probably where your downvotes are coming from.
