After what time has passed would you consider an FSD class action lawsuit?

[mark95476]

Nobody asked.

and just so you know, i’ve already brought and paid for the M3 six times over with my TSLA trades, so at least that‘s worked out.

 

[EVNow]

All the more perplexing that we haven't seen more actually launched. I thought TSLAQ shorts had serious money behind them, but now I'm thinking they're relatively poor, don't own a Tesla, and are relegated to posting FUD anonymously on forums and Twitter.

There are the poor (or probably bankrupt by now) retail TSLAQ - and then the deep money hedge funds etc. The poorer retail ones would have liked to get a class action suit going - but they don't have the needed strength - both legal and actual # of Tesla owners supporting the case. Hedge funds don't have the patience for cases that can drag on for years. They try to get their dirty work done by SEC.

Nitpicking, but end of this year.

The benchmark for me was 3 years of ownership. I took delivery around Dec 15, so I can file around that time. Realistically the first hearings would be in 2022.

 

[Cyberax]

Actually, we don't have to speculate. We have seen exactly what they will deliver. There are hundreds of videos and looks to me - except for well known complicated situations fsd beta drives just fine. Much better than current AP.

So basically useless in actual city situations. You still have to be extra-careful when driving. It's "Smart Summon" all over again.

Do you use AP in the city - at all ?

Hardly useless.

I expect FSD beta to be a LOT more useful.

I'd hope not, given the Tesla Manual tells you this is absolutely prohibited. Safe drivers obey manuals, right?

Hardly useless.

I keep seeing people leave detail free descriptions like this.
Exactly what will be "useful" about FSD beta beyond what AP already does? The "beta" that Tesla is so concerned will crash your car that they are only willing to give it to the "safest" drivers? If it's useful and functional, why is that restriction needed?

We assume it is not a replacement for any kind of attention (we won't know until they release a manual for it). Based on videos, it still makes many mistakes that require very fast intervention that no human would make, so it appears to need more attention than not using it. It appears to increase the complexity put on the driver, not reduce it.

Useful means you can do something you couldn't before that tool existed. How is "FSD" "Beta" useful?

(I agree it will be very entertaining, and may be indicative of a useful product in the future, but at first release? It's just entertainment, or as some people argue, data collection for future improvements)

 

[EVNow]

I'd hope not, given the Tesla Manual tells you this is absolutely prohibited. Safe drivers obey manuals, right?

Thats obsolete, one would guess seeing as how they added city driving features like traffic lights, stop signs etc. They even realized some revenue because of these features.

But, they haven't removed the obsolete text. Who knows whether by design or oversight.

Naah, you've been given specific answers too, you just don't like em.

I mentioned FSD Beta could likely do 100% of my drive to/from work... since it already does 90+% of it via the released code, since about that much of the drive is highway.

What's left is a few miles from house to highway, mostly easy rural roads with light traffic.... and on the other end a couple miles of again light traffic, with controlled intersections, from highway to workplace.

 

[gearchruncher]

It's not "obsolete" if it was left by design. In that case it's just purposefully confusing, and absolutely not the way that you document a safety involved system. Tesla wants it to be very, very clear that AP isn't autonomous in any way. They tell you this in the manual, and use that as a defense of anyone that misuses it? But then they also tell you to not use it on city streets, even though you are supposed to use it on city streets? Not a good look.

Naah, you've been given specific answers too, you just don't like em.

Saying "I hope can drive to work without disengaging AP" tells me what you can do with it, but not why that is useful. What will you do with this newfound capability that you could not before? Tesla is telling you that you must pay MORE attention than before, because this is absolutely not an autonomous system and can only be deployed to the very safest drivers. How is this "useful?".

If it's so useful, why can't it be more widely deployed?

 

[Cyberax]

Do you use AP in the city - at all ?

No (except on grade-separated highways).

Hardly useless.

Hard useless. Or uselessly hard. But definitely useless.

I expect FSD beta to be a LOT more useful.

Sure. As a toy.

I have nothing against toys, mind you. I like buying toys for myself. But right now all the Tesla (company) behavior is rubbing me the wrong way.

 

[Knightshade]

Saying "I hope can drive to work without disengaging AP" tells me what you can do with it, but not why that is useful.

It literally is though.

Just like the last several times this was explained to you.

You don't like the answer so you keep pretending you don't understand it.

What will you do with this newfound capability that you could not before?

This doesn't even make sense as a question.

"Sure it can do something it couldn't before- but how does that let you do something you couldn't before?!"

If it's so useful, why can't it be more widely deployed?

Uh.. it IS about to be more widely deployed.

 

[gearchruncher]

"Sure it can do something it couldn't before- but how does that let you do something you couldn't before?!"

Yes, but the only use of that is human entertainment. Not safety, not the ability to read emails as you drive, not any kind of tool. It's exactly the same as the fart noises. Your argument that the the fart noises are "useful" because they didn't exist before. I doubt most people would say that.

Your inability to explain how you will use CSA's hopeful ability to take you from home to work without touching the wheel to do something you couldn't do before means it's pure entertainment. It's not a useful tool, because you actually have to work harder to use it, but it's worth it because it entertains you.

Uh.. it IS about to be more widely deployed.

Yeah, I mean wider than 1,000 more people, which is all Elon is at as of this morning. You'd think if you had a useful, safe tool, you'd want to send it out to more than 0.05% of your customers. But if you have entertainment... Well, lotteries do seem to entertain a lot of people.

 

[Knightshade]

Yes, but the only use of that is human entertainment.

No, the use is it does the physical act of driving for me.

Are you not familiar with how the system works or something? Might wanna see to that before talking about it further.

Your inability to explain how you will use CSA's hopeful ability to take you from home to work without touching the wheel to do something you couldn't do before means it's pure entertainment.

You making up nonsense I never said, while ignoring what I actually did, is certainly pure entertainment

It's not a useful tool, because you actually have to work harder to use it,

I really don't. I'm already having to pay attention to drive a car.

Now I free up brain cycles currently spent on the physical act of steering and pedal control since the car can do those in more places.


People repeated the same nonsense about using AP on the highway for years about how it wasn't useful because you had to pay attention- and it was as wrong then as you are now.

Yeah, I mean wider than 1,000 more people, which is all Elon is at as of this morning. You'd think if you had a useful, safe tool, you'd want to send it out to more than 0.05% of your customers.

While you're still developing and improving the system to handle more cases? No, you really wouldn't.

You'd want to send to those most likely to safely continue to help improve it.

Which is of course what they're doing.

Example:
There was this user, Dan M, on Bogleheads that was convinced Tesla bankwuptcy was imminent, wouldn't produce a single Model Y, and was crowing about all the money me made by shorting TSLA. That was before the stock rocketed +$3000, split, and got added to the S&P500. Dan M disappeared from Bogleheads.

There are the poor (or probably bankrupt by now) retail TSLAQ - and then the deep money hedge funds etc. The poorer retail ones would have liked to get a class action suit going - but they don't have the needed strength - both legal and actual # of Tesla owners supporting the case.

It's 10/11/2021 and FSDBeta 10.2 rolled-out to the 100 Safety Score group.

What's your point? It could be another year before they add a single tester.
Any kind of lawsuit would be about an individual having it on their car, given that's what they paid for, and all except about 1000 people have no idea when that will be.

 

[Cyberax]

I don't believe it. My car still with 93 safety rating (because, you know, I actually USE it on mountain roads) still has none.

So FSD is still a complete scam.

Thats not clear. I’ve had 100 (Sunday) and didn’t get it. And I’m reading that certain cars whom also had 100 (yoke, ..) also didn’t get it.

Something like....

 

[mark95476]

Your lawyer is going to have so much fun! I'm looking forward to your lawsuit, if you actually follow through.

I don't believe it. My car still with 93 safety rating (because, you know, I actually USE it on mountain roads) still has none.

So FSD is still a complete scam.
