Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1.1 fail to leave a parking spot and give up, twice!

Elon Musk this doesn't seem "sentient", just yet another example of how far away from unsupervised robotaxis Tesla is.

Elon claimed that Tesla FSD v13 would be 5-10x better than v12. It wasn't.

Ashok Elluswamy claimed that FSD v13 would be feature complete. It wasn't.

Elon Musk claims FSD v14 will be sentient. It won't.

Watch Dirty Tesla’s Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1 park in a handicap parking spot and mistake a shopping cart as a traffic light.

Elon Musk your defective software can’t even park properly!

The fanboy denial doesn't align with reality.

"FSD makes it so much safer!"

Given most drivers are the same and the only difference is the car (with a chunk having their Ai babysitter) one would expect this number to be significantly better.

Yet #Tesla kills ppl.

Dirty Tesla on X: "FSD 14.1 School Zone Test FSD does lower its speed to the indicated speed when the light is blinking (ignores when light is not blinking) Unfortunately it then raises its speed back to the original speed limit a few seconds later.

Watch Dirty Tesla's Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1 fail to obey a school zone speed limit.

Elon Musk, how can you call this version "sentient", when it is yet another instance of your defective software making our roads unsafe.

Tesla drivers are so willing to cheer for the robot that they are literally entrusting their lives to a "self driving" system that the manufacturer won't take legal liability for and dying, or being charged with vehicular manslaughter when the inevitable bad thing happens

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that it would investigate how Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving software handles railroad crossings as part of a wide-ranging investigation of incidents where the agency said Tesla vehicles have violated traffic safety laws.

NBC News reported last month that Tesla vehicles using Full Self-Driving software sometimes fail to stop for train tracks.

Elon Musk claims that Tesla has robotaxis and that all Tesla’s will be able to drive themselves without human supervision within the next three months.

Is FSD 14 the robotaxi version?

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1 repeatedly slam on the brakes in the middle of a busy road for no reason.

Road users did not sign up to be test subjects for Elon Musk’s dangerous and defective software.

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1 slam the brakes when attempting a left turn and then activate the windshield wipers on a sunny day.

Elon Musk this software isn’t "sentient" and it has no place on our public roads.

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1 attempt to drive into a parking lot through the exit lane, and then randomly park in the lane, forcing the driver to take over.

Elon Musk, is this really the version which feels "sentient"?

NHTSA should ban it now.

The latest techno-oxymoron: Tesla "FSD Supervised".

FSD = Full Self Driving
It means a vehicle that drives itself from A to B without human input, interference or erm... supervision.

To trot out the GREAT NEW FSD Supervised v14-something and expect people to fall over in awe is just special.

More than four years between these two tweets from Master Scammer Musk.

FSD was "almost there" in 2021. It's amazing that people are still falling for this.

In those five years there have been over 10 million rider-only robotaxi rides in the US, none of which were done by Tesla.

Little has changed. Today, FSD is nowhere close to autonomy and remains riddled with safety defects that require a human ready to take over at a moment's notice to stop it from crashing or breaking the law.

5 years ago Tesla FSD was a defective engineering prototype riddled with safety defects. The driver had to be ready to take over at a moment's notice.
