TIL.
Turning it into a marketing name instead of a marketing spin probably explains how they got away with that preorder nonsense too. I’ll still say the licensed driver in the seat is responsible, but if someone wanted to ream Tesla in court over this, I wouldn’t be opposed.
- yunwal 4y agoAlso early on Elon Musk would frequently tweet people doing stupid illegal things in their Teslas (e.g. fooling the sensors, jumping into the backseat from the drivers seat and pretending they’re in a taxi) and then say “obviously you shouldn’t do this but isn’t it cool that you can!” He’d also make misleading claims about “FSD” being safer than human drivers (it isn’t, but FSD gets disabled in tricky situations, so he could lie with statistics).
