Tesla FSD Safety Stats Misleading

[whitex]

This is with their robotaxi fleet in Austin, Houston and Dallas.
Why haven't they released it for all Tesla ? Probably will in time once they get more data as the miles accumulate. As Austin Texas is their first city with their robotaxi fleet, I'm sure they are being extra cautious. Can't predict everything that can go wrong and it would be much easier to correct it before it goes wide release.

Robotaxis are strictly geofenced, only allowed to drive where Tesla has extensively mapped the area and trained the cars. No different with Waymo by the way, they always start a new area with cars driven by humans.

As far as Tesla taking responsibilities for FSD at at service centers. Their cars drive off from the assembly plant in Texas, drive off by themselves across public highway, and self park in the delivery parking lot. I'm assuming if it got into a collision along the way, then Tesla would take responsibility.

Yes, they trust it in an extremely well controlled and mapped out environment. Apparently the effort to do the same for Service Centers is not worth the effort. Superchargers would be an even more useful scenario, use the supercharger snake (which Elon announced over a decade ago) and valet cars through superchargers to eliminate manual queuing, parking while idle, etc. Again, the system is not capable of this yet.

Because it's really expensive. At one point it was 15k. When you can get a Tesla for 35k-45k, paying and additional 15k is a no go. That's a 30-40% increase in price. Honestly I'm surprise that the uptake was 20%. I thought it would be 5% or less.

Yes, I’m aware.

My point was that despite the hype and everyone asking whether my Teslas have had FSD, the vast majority of Teslas don’t have it.

It will be interesting to see whether the subscription-only FSD offering that’s now in effect will move that needle…

This quote did not mention Musk, but others have and some of those had nothing to do Tesla, but rather his politics. That's why it's mention.

Again, there's a lot that Tesla can improve upon in their cars such as more buttons, better door handles, fancier interior. Etc. But a lot of arguments I hear from people that dislike Tesla are talking points, and has no correlation with reality. Most of these people have no first hand experience with Tesla or FSD.

It’s still a distraction and complete fallacy.

Other people don’t like Musk therefore this particular persons argument against FSD has no merit?

That’s completely illogical and NOT worth mentioning.

Same with the argument you keep making about first hand experience with FSD. I do have first hand experience, but that doesn’t matter. You don’t have to try something in order to be able to form an opinion on it.

Drugs are bad, I haven’t tried them. The Yankees suck, I don’t play baseball.

Learning through observation and other people’s experiences is quite a useful skill.
