855-STOP-FSD

[flstcgranucci]

Anyone else see the smear campaign bashing Tesla’s FSD on TV?
Of course they weeded out the worse YouTube videos they could find but someone has a real hard on to pay a tv station (KCBS in SoCal) to run this commercial.

This ad gets my blood pressure up.

 

[flstcgranucci]

I’m actually thinking of calling that number to see what their problem is

 

[jabloomf1230]

The number is wrong. It should be

800-583-3483

 

[flstcgranucci]

Well I just went by what the commercial was showing

 

[pitabun]

I bet r/realtesla is bouncing off the walls with this nonsense.

 

[flstcgranucci]

Tried calling the number on the screen and it just hangs up

Some information about the person behind this here:

He wants to destroy Elon Musk. He could end up endangering the Dems’ Senate plans.

Dan O’Dowd is running for office squarely as a means of bludgeoning the Tesla CEO. Could he screw up things for the incumbent?

What a pill

 

[Usain]

What a pill

I was thinking of a different "p"-word.

 

[SDRick]

What a jerk, I hope this campaign backfires on him!

 

[SO16]

Those in CA that do support FSD should perhaps call the number to voice your support for it.

I called the number and the rep, reading from a script, went on to thank me for reaching out to my representatvie to stop dangerous FSD. I stopped her at that point to let her know, I'm a Tesla owner and its the safest car I've ever driven. Then I asked her if shes seen the way people drive? I explained to her the only problem with Tesla FSD are irresponsible owners, not the vehicle. She admitted she had rented a Tesla and loved it! I suspect the dark money driving this BS campaign is the oil & gas industry!

I believe the campaign wants to ban all self driving this point, but Tesla is the easy and intended target.
I don't see a direct connection to the oil and gas industry, but there could be. I'm sure some dedicated reporter could dig up some evidence if it was true.

 

[flstcgranucci]

Funny that the person who is running this crap is a software developer who, I think I read, develops self driving software.

Yes, that's the motivation. It's not any more complicated than that. The fossil fuel industry isn't behind this one.

It's not dark money. It's the shiтbag "billionaire" CEO from Green Hills Software who's funding this.

He's pretend running for office too, so that way he gets the lowest possible advertising rate on TV.

If his so called FSD is not being used in any EV's then he will not catch up. He knows this and is just crying out like a baby

It's from David O'Dowd, CEO of Greenhill Sofrware. They make FSD software for OEMs They just lost their BMW contract He is running for Senator from California Go figure
