The autonomous, $25,000 Tesla will have no steering wheel or pedals, per Elon. He's now forcing managers out who don't want to follow his orders. Had that been the case before, the Model 3 wouldn't have had a steering wheel. Of course, that might have increased the urgency to finish FSD or bankrupted the company.

He has also said many times that he can be wrong. So basically he's saying immediately act on a decision whether it's to do the ask or explain why it's wrong. It doesn't seem unreasonable to keep things moving instead of dragging out something that will likely cause delays elsewhere.

As usual - the media hides the actual story going for sensational / click-bait headline. Did you fall for the click-bait or did you not read ?
His second email detailed the three steps managers should take when they're sent directions. Musk told them to reply and explain why what he said was incorrect since he could occasionally be "plain wrong," to ask for clarification, or to execute the directions because "if none of the above are done, that manager will be asked to resign immediately."
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the email. Every CEO would say the same thing. Managers should not just ignore CEOs directions, like some would like to do to escape doing the hard thing.protip : Use better sources than "business insider".

Like I said this is all kind of obvious, so you have to wonder what precipitated such an email at this time.
A manager did ignore Musk's instructions when designing the Model 3.

Do you / have you worked in large companies. Mid-level managers try to avoid hard work / unpleasantness by just ignoring directions and hoping nobody will notice. I don't know how many times ex-CEO of Microsoft told people to get moving or be fired - and yet they would just ignore him.
I have not worked for a large company, but I am a CEO, and it would never occur to me, out of the blue, to issue a blanket email like this. If I had an issue with someone, I would deal with them directly. This makes it sound like there is a pervasive problem, or he's giving a heads up.
Maurer makes it sound like Elon was going to fire managers if they didn't let people listen to music. Sounds excessive.

I got the message yesterday after a weird red wheel and takeover issue about 1 strike of 3 based on driving metrics. 2 more and I'm out I guess...which if fine. After this update, I'm cancelling FSD and obviously won't have access to Beta. Sub and FSD aren't worth $10/month nonetheless $213.99/mo...pays my CDD fees for my home for that amount of money, and what do I get in return? Hassles, bad FSD Beta/driving behaviors etc...no enjoyment driving the car anymore. Others can be Elon's guinea pig from now on. Self driving is a pipe dream.

Clearly paying $213.99 a month to Alpha test SW for a company who expects them to file their reports into the ether is not for them.
They're probably so unthankful that they want to be paid to do that.
The gull of them.

Approved testers should get $213.99 credit monthly if sub is paid for or comped FSD sub while they test.Clearly paying $213.99 a month to Alpha test SW for a company who expects them to file their reports into the ether is not for them.

I was really excited to get the beta but the safety score is so unpredictable no matter how well I drive. Proved it to myself with several resets so I could clear my history and see what behaviors it's reacting to.
But even if I had made it into the beta, reading your posts make me realize that driving for the safety score isn't the end of the torture, freaking out at every front end collision warning alone on an empty highway knowing what its doing to your score. Or potentially that it's gonna get you removed from the beta.
I purchased FSD not so much for myself but to be an example to say with my dollars that I support Tesla bringing Full Self Driving to their cars. It would have been cool to say I had the software now, to show it off to friends, but I am happier to go back to enjoying my car, driving it the way I was before the FSD button came into my life.

Well, as long as there are 20k testers and thousands waiting - they have no reason to change their plans!Clearly paying $213.99 a month to Alpha test SW for a company who expects them to file their reports into the ether is not for them.
