I'm a staunch Elon Musk apologist an while I won't go so far as others do in saying he's a liar or disingenuous, at best it can be said that he is absolutely horrible at estimating how long it will take to accomplish any specific task. And with AP1 he lucked out because the rest of the car got so much better that I think most people decide to upgrade anyhow which left significantly less people to complain about their promised AP1 features and second hand buyers kind of knew what they were getting into with respect to what AP1 could and could not do.
You seem to contradict yourself, here. You say the only issue Elon has is that he can't estimate the time it takes to complete, but he lucked out with AP1. So wait a minute, you think there is actually an amount of time after which AP1 will do what Elon promised it will do? Say "find you anywhere on private property", what is the actual time that you think it will take to get there, 1 year, 10 years, 100 years, a billion years?
If you any confidence whatsoever that Tesla is going to make good on even a fraction of it's full self driving promises for AP2/ 2.5 cars in the next couple of years I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. It isn't happening. The whole thing was a bluff.
I see, so not a liar or disingenuous but a bluffer then? Can you clarify the difference between a bluffer and a liar?
Btw, my personal opinion is that he's not a lier, or a bluffer, or disingenuous. I think he's a very talented guy who got drunk on his own success and has mostly lost touch with reality. He honestly believes the things he promises, even though sometimes a very rudimentary analysis would show any logical person that it can't be done (how long do you think it would have taken to figure out that ultrasonic sensors don't work so well in high wind, like when you drive 75mph on a highway, or that cameras without wipers will get dirty and useless very quickly in bad weather (just watch your rear camera when it rains) so there is no way in hell FSD can rely on them). He's accomplished a lot in his life, but right now his ego has grown so large he's promising the actually impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if Elon announced that he will invent perpetual motion machine to make all Tesla's the greenest cars in the universe, and that they are putting a bunch of rotating magnets and other hardware in the latest cars to make the car capable or perpetual motion and they will enable it as soon as they figure out the small detail of software to control it all. Image that, never have to refuel again, save the Earth from greenhouse emissions and provide human kind with unlimited energy! Praise Elon the hero for saving the planet and human kind! Something tells me he would actually have fans that fall for it and defend it. I bet the description for the perpetual motion would include savings in fuel with a footprint that software needs to complete extensive validation and government approval first, but then you drive it for free for 15 years minimum, so the car is really free after savings.
