On broad FSD release, prepare for this mentally as mistakes will be made, then amplified. Unless Tesla does something amazing with V11, there could be a sizable change in the types of driving mistakes made as they shift from humans to machine (or to both as a combination of actions). However, I don't know their plan or additional safeguards they put in place, so it's just a hunch at best.
My hope is that all the people who bought FSD actually understand the capability and weaknesses. That they all quickly learn to engage or disengage at appropriate times (at first anyway), and they are intensely aware of the road surroundings at all the right times. It does seem as thought Tesla is watching/alerting more quickly at higher risk situations which is ideal - the car seems to know when it's higher risk and alerts drivers in a timely fashion.
As reluctant as this all sounds, if I were to pick a quarter to release FSD then I'd still pick this one while earnings are strong. There's no good time to release FSD, just a better time. Continued delay of the release pushes out the usability date for existing battery supply (Machine Utilization or MU applies to the Mission directly). The transition will happen and a lot of people will never accept it, even if it costs more money to have the human present or to drive themselves. So folks will likely have a choice with different pricing.
It's another Pioneers vs Settlers moment. Pioneers thrive in a state of change - it's what we do and thoroughly enjoy. Bring it on, but brace yourselves.
) swan events lately that giving the haters and FUD spinners this gift seems like bad timing. Maybe the thought is that the stock is so low already....how much worse could it get??? Is this capitulation?
