I find it amazing how Tesla has been able to sell - for thousands of dollars - something that doesn’t exist. Really, it’s extraordinary - sell a FSD package (before there’s any proof it’s even technically possible in the operating life of the vehicle) and then roll out random features and claim they meet the original commitment.
And, even better, their customers love them for it.
I could never do this - I would see it as an act of breathtaking dishonesty. Guess that’s one reason why I’m not going to found a billion dollar company.
- mikelyons 6y agoI don't mean to insult or claim you're not thinking thoroughly or clearly, but this appears to me to be gross oversimplification of several deep topics wrt developing new technologies, the mission to advance the advent of sustainable energy and transport, and founding billion-dollar companies. Also I think it's intellectually dishonest to claim you would be incapable of your perceived level of dishonesty, because you yourself are selling the idea that it's dishonest based on these gross oversimplifications.

- jfoster 6y agoIf customers understand that it's not yet in existence, what is the dishonest part?
- goshx 6y agoThey never made those claims. Are you being honest about it?
