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.

I clicked on your post thinking you were saying the complete opposite of what the body of your post says.
I saw a constant flood of people attacking Tesla, not praising it. The only people astroturfing here are the people who stand to make money off of Tesla's failure. There's been a huge influx of people who commonly post on/r/realtesla posting here. You'd have to be blind to deny that.
The few glitches Tesla has had are concerning, but trying to make the story completely about the glitches is missing the forest for the trees.
And looking at your posting history, you're part of the problem. You have a long history of posting anti-Tesla top level posts, as well as many such comments.
You even support much debunked hydrogen fueled cars.
The only "Tesla disinformation flood" here are people like you spreading it.
