179 Comments Elon Musk went on an all-day Tesla self-driving propaganda spree ahead of the company’s earnings, which are expected to be rough. It’s well known these days that Musk doesn’t often comment on Tesla as he is busy with his government work, buying elections, and running several private companies. Some Tesla shareholders argue that the CEO is neglecting the public company, which saw its stock tumble this year. That wasn’t the case today. Advertisement - scroll for more content Musk went on a tweeting spree about Tesla, specifically about Tesla’s self-driving effort. Here are some of the highlights: Tesla posted that “one day” its vehicles will drive themselves from the factory to new customers and Musk couldn’t stop himself and had to say that it will happen “this year”: Like most of Musk’s self-driving comments, this one is hard to take seriously since he said the exact same thing in 2018 and claimed it would happen in 2019. The tweet he was responding to has been deleted by the author, but it asked when Tesla vehicles would drive themselves to customers: Spoiler alert: regulators are not the bottleneck here. Musk then claimed that “Tesla self-driving will be far safer than human driving”: The problem here is that Musk has claimed on many occasions that Tesla’s FSD is already safer than humans, like in 2023: “Supervised FSD is vastly safer than human driving.” There’s no data that supports that. Tesla refuses to share any data regarding its self-driving program and instead, the company shares a very misleading quarterly “safety report.” Considering Tesla’s FSD requires supervision from a driver at all times, the driver’s supervision and attention help reduce accidents that the self-driving system wouldn’t necessarily prevent. Musk also shared positive experiences of a few Tesla owners, including a Tesla engineer and Joe Rogan: As we often highlight, Tesla’s FSD can be impressive to use, but the problem is when you compare it to its promise, which is in the name: full self-driving. Under its current form, FSD is still a level 2 advanced driver assist system, and not self-driving, but Musk said that it would become truly “unsupervised” self-driving every year for the last 8 years.
