... 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.

Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

As if the far right folks will buy an electric car and Elon burned the bridges for buyers on the left.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Not because of advancements in technology, but because of erosion of regulations.

It’s one of those robots that’s just remote controlled by some guy in a call center.

Why is the narrator always Ron Howard in my head?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm sure Elon musk would hit all of his timelines if it wasn't for the Democrats or Steven Miller

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 hours ago

You will Nazi it coming.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Not if your home is not in USA, your new Tesla will have to pay Tariff and don't know how.

But who's gonna fix your wall?

[–] Sprawl@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It does beg the question who pays the insurance until your get it the first time. I suspect you do though.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Not only that, who will provide the cover.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 15 points 9 hours ago

will it fall apart while en route.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 42 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yet another lie.

The shareholders should sue.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I'm sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

It can drive itself straight to the dump

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

No it won’t.

[–] Bjornir@programming.dev 5 points 7 hours ago

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?

[–] lsibilla@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

Didn’t know that list.

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

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 36 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] raina@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago

But what about my Elon Musk? Sorry, I mean sensitive anus.

You can tell because his mouth is moving.

Later this year: "I was right, but I actually meant to say 'into' instead of 'to' and 'someone's' instead of 'your'"

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago

Do people still care what this turd has to say?

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

hes also still a nazi-pedo associated with epstein too.

[–] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Anytime Elon says anything about Tesla with a timeframe, you can guaran damn tee that it will not happen within that time frame.

Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 62 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

Imagine it gets into an accident lol.

Who gets charged?

If you thought insurance was expensive before....

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.

Yeah, no.

That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn't. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He's just lying again .

Do most people still believe him about, anything really?

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

I used to about some things, like when he talked about the how the spaceX rockets worked, but then he went insane. And now I've heard there's a pretty good chance that starship isn't gunna archive much at all, because its too heavy from the stainless steel they used to make it.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

Is that a threat?

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 12 hours ago

Enough musk spam...

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 72 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

And also, who doesn't want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.
