I am so bitter about my FSD purchase in 2019. At the time, there were some enhanced autopilot features and the rest was promised by the end of the year. I occasionally try it out and it's so bad. It feels completely unsafe. FSD has left such a bad taste that I almost never use even basic autopilot. I feel like I was conned out of $6000. I will never buy another Tesla as long as fraudster Elon is at the helm.

I got mine for only $2000 and I feel conned. Nonstop empty promises, suddenly removed from the site as the date comes and goes. e.g., "Your car will be able to drop you off, park, and come get you by the end of the year. Really." That was two years ago at least.

  Remember that bullshit demo video where it drops the guy off in front of the office and parks itself? I don't understand how Elon isn't behind bars by now. How many staged demo videos have we seen? How many promises? These silly investor presentations where he makes wild claims? Robotaxis? The Cybertruck being built for Mars? It's one lie after another. The amounts by which he's inflated the company's value and his own net worth with his lies and scams dwarfs Bernie Madoff. He's lied to squeeze short sellers who are onto his bullshit. He ran that Dogecoin pump and dump. The scale and audacity of his schemes are truly epic.

    It really helped me as an investor, which I am no longer. :) But yeah, I dumped it during the robotaxi """news""" knowing it's another pump. It's really a meme stock and personal piggy bank for Elon at this point. And I don't want to fund facism any longer. And you're right, how hasn't there an Elizabeth Holmes-like arrest?

    That's why Musk supports Trump. Two conmen cut from the same cloth.

      It's the only logical explanation. Otherwise, Musk's hard-right turn just makes zero sense. People on the right generally don't want EVs, while the people on the left do. He alienated his largest potential customer base for what reason? FFS, Trump even said he'd ban EVs (Though we all know it won't actually happen) and Musk still supports him! I'm convinced Musk just doesn't care about Tesla anymore. Cybertruck release has been an utter disaster and he has no desire to make it right.
