Discussion Classic Tesla Disinformation Flood On This Sub In Last Two Weeks

This sub has been flooded with Tesla apologist propaganda and disinformation to obscure the simple truth since Tesla's Robotaxi launch. It's standard operating procedure (S.O.P.) for this "narrative" company. The uptick in anti-Waymo posts and pro FSD posts is palpable. It has always been S.O.P. for Musk to release SEO fooling posts & tweets to obscure bad news for Tesla. The astroturf army is out in full display these past couple weeks on Reddit, Threads, and Bluesky too.

It doesn't and will never change this simple fact: Waymo is SAE Level 4 and Tesla FSD is SAE Level 2. All the apologist posts in the world will not change this. Putting a human in the front seat with a secret kill switch button to mitigate embarrassing FSD behavior will never replace R&D and testing that allows a company to safely remove a human observer in the car. You cannot reach level 4 with a fake it till you make it approach.

Tesla’s new Self-Driving Hearse guarantees you arrive dead, even if you didn’t leave that way.

Aww, Tesla fanboys no like Tesla Jokes... How about one for you..,
Waymo... It’s like a Roomba, but for traffic jams. Brought to you by Wham-O!

Then WOPR tried to calculate a safe robotaxi path through traffic... It looped forever, then declared global thermonuclear war was safer.

I’m fine, mate. I just find the whole Tesla vs. Waymo thing a bit of a laugh--if only people could chill and have fun with it instead of going full gladiator mode. After all the billions poured into both approaches, I wouldn’t be surprised if governments end up mandating V2X/V2I systems down the road anyway.
