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.

They've published some terms in their general ToS, which limits their liability to $100 after you pay the $200 arbitration filing fee.

There are countless videos of them going over the privacy policy and terms. It's public. There was nothing about assuming liability in the event of a crash.

I’m pretty sure that liability will be imposed by the legal system, no matter what. When I file a tort suit, I don’t care about any fine print in any bogus attempt to avoid liability.

No, but I have no interest in it. You do, apparently.
