It's curious how many people are unhappy that someone choses to pay for an early-access product that's in beta.

  Most people are probably just amused. I'm more on the unhappy side because a vehicle can actually kill people when it crashes and Musk seems like more of a "move fast and break things" personality, which is not a great combination for safety.

  Maybe because it's unsafe and misleading? The US Department of Justice has already started a criminal investigation [1]: > Oct 25 - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) is under criminal investigation in the United States over claims that the company's electric vehicles can drive themselves, three people familiar with the matter said. > The U.S. Department of Justice launched the previously undisclosed probe last year following more than a dozen crashes, some of them fatal, involving Tesla’s driver assistance system Autopilot, which was activated during the accidents, the people said.

  I'm unhappy about it because I have to share the road with Tesla's cars, and I'm also tired of people buying wholesale into hype. I personally stay away from Tesla's on the road for fear that they have the "self-driving" software engaged.

  He promised I would be able to earn income on my car driving around town all on its own while I was asleep at home by the end of 2016. Instead I have to pay him to have a computer drive full throttle into stationary objects - something that I am more than capable of doing on my own.
