Well the problem is Dan O’Dowd has history of faking issues with FSD but when it happened for real ofcourse people are ready to discredit. It is a real issue hope Tesla addresses this soon.

There is no such history. The only claim with any backing was Fred Lambert of electrek reporting on the first ad claiming that FSD was not enabled during the testing as FSD was not enabled on some footage in the ad. https://electrek.co/2022/08/10/tesla-self-driving-smear-campaign-releases-test-fails-fsd-never-engaged/ https://electrek.co/2022/08/10/tesla-self-driving-smear-camp... However, Fred made this claim before reviewing the raw footage which can be seen here: https://dawnproject.com/the-dawn-projects-new-advertising-campaign-highlighting-the-dangers-of-teslas-full-self-driving/ https://dawnproject.com/the-dawn-projects-new-advertising-ca... After seeing the raw footage he added a teeny update at the bottom of the first link acknowledging that FSD was actually enabled during the safety tests in the report as originally claimed. Some footage in the ad most likely just came from dry runs where FSD was not enabled. Since then, the same group of people including individuals such as WholeMarsBlog and TeslaBoomerMama have continuously made false accusations of impropriety citing as evidence that the first ad was falsified even though it was actually the claims of falsification that were discredited. They are deliberately promulgating disinformation to support their stock portfolios. Since then the proponents have claimed that the accelerator was pressed, so the critics increased the camera angle to include the accelerator. Then the proponents claimed the steering wheel was turned to force collision, so the critics hovered their hands over the wheel. Then the proponents claimed a small device was added behind the accelerator to depress it secretly, so the critics added a flashlight to the wheel well. Then the proponent claimed the software was hacked to hide warnings and activate the accelerator remotely, so the critics planned the livestream with Ross Gerber who got to use his own, unmodified Tesla. TeslaBoomerMama tried to get ahead of the test by claiming that hidden lights would be placed on the route to blind the Tesla and mannequins would be specially painted with magic paint that looks normal to humans, but would make them invisible to Tesla cameras. Then when the test happened the the proponents claimed Ross sabotaged the tests, and that is where we are now. Does anybody else see a pattern here? At literally every step of the way the claims of the proponents were met with increased transparency and proven to be unjustified. Yet the proponents use every increase of transparency as tachyonic evidence of wrongdoing. If they show the accelerator now, then they must have been hiding it on purpose in the past thus proving that they were pressing the accelerator in the past. They only show it now because they figured out a new diabolical trick that allows them to show more while still getting the same results. It shows how clever they are at falsifying which is even more evidence they were lying in the past as they are so skillful now that they can still hide with all of these transparency measures. Here we are now, no way to claim falsification (though they tried to blame Ross), so they had no choice but attempt to duplicate the tests. And lo and behold, the tests done were in fact true, credible, and trustworthy. This shatters the entire thesis that everything is faked as, when the chips are down, the tests are legit. The actual people who should be discredited are the people continuing to spread known false information that has been retracted by the original author and the people using that as a basis for their attempts to discredit.
