I’m so sure that this will happen…

    … Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won’t be…

    How would this even make any sense?

    Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, … you have this option?

    Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.

    Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.

    … And I am pretty surr not all models are made at all those locations.

    Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves… to make a long distance journey… that … doesn’t exist, he abandoned all of that.

    Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico… through the border checkpoint.

    The auto charger network doesn’t exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue… and even if none of that happened… how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?

    If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars… congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.

    … fucking lunacy.

      He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).

      They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.

    He’s always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

      That guy is a) a relentless liar and b) absolutely insane Why would you say those things? Why contradict yourself at 20 days interval publicly?

      Didn’t know that list.

      Though, for all I hate the guy, there are a lot of misleading assertions in that list.

    LOL my Tesla? Nonono. The possibility of me ordering a Tesla would require so much leadership refactoring at Tesla, I’m confident this is no longer a possibility.

    To put it more sussinctly:

    Fuck off with this bullshit ad headline. I wouldn’t touch these swasticars if they jerked me off nightly

    MY new Tesla? Doubt it. Considering I’m unemployed due to this clown administration and I don’t tend to upgrade much of anything, let alone a vehicle, unless/until the old one no longer functions.
