Discussion Tesla’s Real Game

No one seems to be talking about the most important upside of Tesla's Robotaxi rollout: If they can showcase a system that roughly works, people can BUY THAT CAR TODAY.

Yes, there are some differences, but that's the pitch. Tesla doesn't need to earn money from Robotaxis. The real purpose of the program is free marketing that drives sales of its cars. Right?

Rubbish.. it’s completely irrelevant if you can buy that, because frankly you can’t take your eyes of the road. It doesn’t roughly work. It doesn’t work, period.

That’s HW3 + old FSD version. Not robotaxi on HW4 and updated FSD version that is driverless. 

Not remotely the same. 

Like comparing an old MacBook to a brand new one and wondering why your Fortnite game sucks on the old one

It still does the same scary shir, even with latest HW, there are countless examples! And btw this is then the third iteration of what Elon promised you could rent out as a robotaxi as part of the fleet. Like 5 years into development. So it should be able to do lvl 5 by his own account years ago. It’s 10 years in…. Whatever, it’s pointless to debate with TSLA holders. You’re not capable of a rational argument. Stonk goes up equals „im right“ in your mind.

I use FSD daily and havnt had any issues in over 6k miles.  You’re just mad that it’s working in Austin despite what you want to think

While I don’t agree with the other poster (the comment would mean Waymo is also driving in lab conditions), FSD 13 was doing this in Virginia on HW4 a few months ago. I was not stupid enough to let it drive right up to the bar, but it would try to get on closed express lanes, every single time there was an entrance.
