So besides Trump and Musk being passionate fuck buddies, how is this legal? Surely this is fraud and deceit right?
every non-vandalized cybertruck is an affront to decent society
Lmao they put lane-keeping assist behind a marketing-wank paywall for their already expensive EVs - something manufacturers like Subaru and Hyundai has made standard across their entire line for years now
What a sad joke this company has become, another example of failed leadership valuing yes-men and sycophancy
I rode in a 2019 Subaru Ascent (like a big Outback) a few years ago, the lane keep assist was great even back then, not to mention the blind spot monitoring and all that. and it was all included. wtf is Tesla even doing with all that time and money??
It’s going to Elon Musk bank account.
I love mine. Combined with adaptive cruise, it’s amazing for slowly rolling traffic, longer journeys, and stop-and-go traffic. I’m under no impression the car is ‘driving’ but having a machine take over the mental load is great and frees up that capacity for other driving tasks and/or awareness of the road.
Tesla calling that technology “Auto” anything without it being genuinely 100% autonomous should have landed someone a fat fine or jail time
Hyundai Lanekeep is better than teslas too
It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.
It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.
Oh they know how to do it. They are just desperate to swindle existing owners since their vehicle sales have fallen off a cliff.
I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.
Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.
I have this on my Honda Fit for fuck's sake.
Tesla is the Fyre Festival of automotive manufacturers, except in this case Billy has managed to keep the kite in the air for an astonishingly long time.
Class action goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I’m sure there’s some bullshit fine print about binding arbitration. It’s so cool that corporations can just say “we waive your fundamental rights because we feel like it” and it’s just…legal. Greatest country on earth.
Ass action go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
By no means am I here to kink shame, but that’s super off topic.
Yes, I know & agree :(.
It's just what my brainhole does to micro-entertain itself.
Shame on you if you still believe promises made by Tesla 😂 They are kinda like promises made by Trump 😆
Yes, yes sir, I've found the terrorist, right there! /s
Buy from a con-man, get conned. Whoop-de-doo-de-doo.
Isn't Supervised Full Self-Driving an oxymoron? How can it be both Supervised and Full Self-Driving?
The actual answer: It should be Level 4 autonomy. It is capable of full self driving, but only in certain conditions.

Do note that Tesla autopilot is actually only SAE level 2, so it's just a straight up lie :)
How can it be both Supervised and Full Self-Driving?
It is not all the same.
You are full.
The car is self driving.
Tesla's interns in India are supervising both you and the car.
It finally makes sense
Just like Amazon's walk in walk out stores where Indian people did the actual checkout for them...
But I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday 🥲
You know, some are full of solids, some... fluids, and some... even superfluous :)
It can't be both. It's not self-driving. That's just what they call it to oversell it. I'm assuming they had to add the "Supervised" part for legal reasons.
They should get fined for being ambiguous and be forced to call it what it is.
Its because Elon Musk is an oxy moron
Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.
Parentheses, duh.
'bait-and-switch' They'll really call it anything but fraud huh.
Bait and switch is a specific type type of fraud.
Yes but bait and switch has less negative connotations and implies some cleverness on the part of the fraduster. Nothing even remotely clever was done here, Tesla made a deal and then flat out broke it Trump Style.
Bait and switch is literally promosing something and fhen replacing it with something else, which is what happened here. It doesn't imply any cleverness and has extremely negative connotations.
Cultural difference perhaps? I've always known it to be more specific, still roughly that but usually the replacement item is visually very similar and the victim accepts it after previously being shown a similar but non-shitty version. Like those black friday TVs you get in the US that look just like the brand name ones people expect them to be but are actually shittier electronics shoved into the same casings. The switch is meant to happen before purchase.
Those companies would get in legal trouble in the US if they admitted to doing it intentionally by calling it a bait and switch. They hide behind legal shenanigans like putting 'limited supplies' in fine print.
Everybody hates being on the receiving end of bait and switch. Nobody thinks it is clever except the person committing fraud, and they hate it when someone does it to them.
Tesla commits ‘oopsie-daisy’. Cybertruck makes a ‘big boo-boo’.
They do this to juice the gross margin number and make the auto business appear more profitable.
Autostreer to far right might sound good to some (apparently??) but it's an issue in actual traffic.
I mean concidering Tesla lost the EU market, it's likely this will go unchallenged. but yes shitty but expected from the company.
Cybertruck isn't allowed in the EU anyway so our regulatory agencies and courts have no power over it. Plus they could just enable it in EU and keep disabled in US if there was a verdict in the EU court system that they have to honor their original terms.
interesting, I wasn't aware it wasn't allowed sale.
It is a rolling safety hazard. Have they done any crash tests with pedestrians?
Yes, it obliterated them and passed the test.
The passing requirements seem to differ vastly by region.
🤡
hey look your shitty truck that isn't the truck is going to be shitty
