Grr, I almost didn’t post my comment because I knew I’d get a few replies like this.
Yeah, I know, I know. But I bought a Tesla because I like the brand and liked Musk, so figured even if he was wrong it wouldn’t be far off. So victim blame away, but I still think the overwhelming brunt of the blame is on the liar, not the naive sucker who believed them.
Sorry if this reply comes across as mean - not a criticism of you or anything, just personally dislike that way of viewing things.
- camjohnson26 4y agoYeah it’s a callous point of view because it assumes everyone has the same point of view and level of information. You used a heuristic that works sometimes and fails sometimes and the real blame should fall on the person committing fraud and the agencies that failed to stop the fraud. Even if you could have avoided the situation other people would have still been victims.
- buildbot 4y agoRight, but the info was available for anyone who wanted to look into it. And people tried to help others by suggesting against pre-paying for FSD…
- buildbot 4y agoNah I was mean too, it is warranted. Different ways of viewing things for sure. The part that I feel is on everyone who bought into FSD is that literally every expert in self driving (A field I was in directly at the time) was pretty sure Tesla was never going to get there with there hardware. Tesla supporters were quite rude denying this.
