Doubt it. Police are in fact trained to drive the cars they drive because they are often required to drive them at the edge of the envelope of what the car can do. This is especially true in California where they seem to like high speed chases a lot if the TV is anything to go byWord on the street is the trainers are certified Tesla trainers that used to work at Hertz
.Two cars on FSD and my experiences are similar to yours. I do think that the new approach of v12 shows some real promise to improve far beyond v11 and earlier releases. I understand greed and keeping in Elon’s good graces leads to ridiculous YouTube videos but if one reads this website I think you get a pretty good idea of what’s really happening. You can also get some good intel on this website to avoid calamities like getting your wheels curbed courtesy of v12.Not sure why but I’m starting to think that some people must have completely different experiences with FSD than I do. Not only would my car start yelling at me if I did anyone of those things (use my phone, text, email, etc) while driving, but I would also miss all of the times I need to disengage FSD. Just on my way home from my kids practice last night (4 miles) I had to disengage 4 times. Two potholes that it would have plowed through, kept it from moving into the right most lane and jumping on the highway when my turn was beyond the on ramp, and when it made a right turn it went into the shoulder thinking it was a lane.
I feel like I need to be more alert when using FSD which seems to be the opposite of some people here. At least around town (suburbs and city streets). Highway less so unless there is road construction.
Maybe this is the reason why people are way more bullish than I am on FSD and going all in on RTs.

Okay, you need to understand this is what YOU think. It may also be what some others whose comments you’ve read think.
In case anyone wants to see the average selling prices you are referring to on the back half of 2023....
The very roundness of the number. Round numbers are irresistible.
I suspect Tesla is planning to produce the RoboForm platform as a model 2 with steer/brake/accelerate -by wire. That yields the flexibility to quickly revert production to/from model 2 or robotics with minimal impact on production/cost
Who could have guessed... With a 39% decrease in share price this year, I think it is safe to say that your sentiment differs from that of the overall market. But at some point the market will turn from fear to greed.
How about we wait till earnings call to understand what will be happening when? While I agree with the general gist of what you are saying, some of us know that Elon can also make mistakes ( he can be awfully factually wrong about some of the things he posts on X for example.). Lets hope we are all happy after the call and beyond. I know too many people who will no longer consider buying a tesla because of Elon. For someone like myself who believes in the mission of TESLA and alternative energy in general, its beyond sad that he has contributed to this division of opinions around his behavior which i am certain has caused UNECESSARY damage to the brand.Okay, you need to understand this is what YOU think.

I do not think this in anyway, shape, or form, and I factually know there are others not thinking it.
Classic focus on your pocketbook, swept up in the noise that’s meant to make you fearful, uncertain and doubtful. Your like PacMan running into the ghost at every intersection.
More importantly it also shows you don’t understand the company (or the man) you’re invested in, even a little bit.
You arrived several years late to the party and missed all of what made Tesla. You even missed all of what made SpaceX, which was inexorably intertwined with Tesla.
I understand none of what I’ve said now or in the past few days will resonate with you or give you a lightbulb moment. You can’t know what you haven’t lived.
Do you even know the story of the fourth ever attempt by SpaceX to get a rocket to orbit and what led up to that ‘final’ try?
Do you know the stories of Model S late 2012 and then early 2013?
Not the superficial fluff, but the stories by the people who lived it? Have you felt what those people felt?
Here’s your phone a friend clue: Elon never gives up. Elon won’t ever give up. Elon always has another plan working in his head that nobody knows - that’s where the whole 3D chess crap came from. People make a joke of it now, but it came from multiples of factual evidence that Elon is always thinking way ahead. He’s always got another possible solution.
What’s happening right now is classic Elon. It’s Elon at his very best. It’s the guy you want leading the charge. It’s the guy people have followed into the unknown for more than a decade.
Instead of fretting and wringing your hands and searching for all the ways this can’t work, you should be sitting back, sipping your favorite beverage, waiting for the fireworks show.
*This*, that’s about to happen, that’s happening, is a pivotal moment akin to Model S’s unanimous (never before, not since) MotorTrend’s 2013 Car of the Year. Not just in Tesla’s history, but will be viewed in the future as a pivotal moment in human history. It’s that pivotal fourth and final rocket attempt by SpaceX.
Simply. I’m manically laughing. Hardly anyone knows what’s about to happen. Most everyone is going to be wrong.
It's an important distinction. Any ole schmuck can master 3D chess, but 4D chess ...most can't even IMAGINE it, let alone attempt it. And THAT is EXACTLY the point.
Friend was a career Oakland cop. He said they love a good high speed chase. He also said after they catch the perp, they will tell them it was a good chase. Objective being to build rapport so they are more willing to talk.Doubt it.

But that is not what Elon's recent tweets are implying ?
