A duo of Tesla shareholder-influencers tried to complete Elon Musk’s coast-to-coast self-driving ride that he claimed Tesla would be able to do in 2017 and they crashed before making it about 60 miles.

From the article. I don't think the Bearded Tesla Guy youtube channel was trying to have their tesla fail so quickly and spectacularly. I think they just wanted to rely fully on self driving and got unlucky with something being in the middle of the road.

Maybe. Or they're just trying to make a buck as the ship sinks.
I like my Tesla, but it really has trouble driving by itself in many situations.
