>Tesla fans have shown a lot of patience and they have always delivered eventually. On everything but FSD. What happened to the battery swaps and tentacle porn

  No idea. I only follow things at a high level. Wife likes her Model 3. Great performance and value for the price. She hasn’t tried autopilot once and we never paid for FSD. I don’t think the market really cares about FSD. Tesla is the first modern and new auto maker in decades to really see any significant cultural and market penetration. I’ll give Elon a pass, or rather Tesla a pass for Elon’s overhyping everything. What they have done and delivered is quite amazing to me.

  The cable was never a product. It was basically R&D project. Battery swap works fine on early Model S but they changed strategy very quickly after showing it off. It was only ever announced as a pilot program. It just doesn't make sense and they rather invested in Superchargers. All cars after Model S were not announced to be able do do swapping. Even on the Model S the added a shield under the car to protect the battery even if you drive big debris at high speed. Seems like these are kind pedantic examples.
