I’m so sure that this will happen…

      The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.

        Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.

    He’s always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

    … Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won’t be…

    How would this even make any sense?

    Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, … you have this option?

    Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.

    Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.

    … And I am pretty surr not all models are made at all those locations.

    Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves… to make a long distance journey… that … doesn’t exist, he abandoned all of that.

    Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico… through the border checkpoint.

    The auto charger network doesn’t exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue… and even if none of that happened… how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?

    If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars… congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.

    … fucking lunacy.

      He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).

      They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.

    Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

    Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

    Infinite is valid all things considered.

    I don’t want to be caught dead driving one of those fucking nazimobiles. I would not take one even if it were free.
