Reporting on Tesla now is so brutal and honest I don’t have to add much to explain the growing mountain of integrity problems.
The Cybertruck’s FSD timeline has been steadily pushed back (much like the launch of the Cybertruck itself). CEO Elon Musk initially expected it to be available in June and then pushed the timeline back to August, Teslarati reports. It’s now expected in September, according to a release roadmap posted…
Delay, delay, delay… the brand is known for promises it never keeps and constant failure to meet deadlines.
What’s even worse?
As many as 30,000 Cybertruck drivers have already paid $12,000 for FSD and have been waiting to receive it since the first deliveries went out in November, according to Autoevolution. In April, Tesla dropped the price to $8,000 without refunding customers the difference.
Damn. That’s straight up abuse of customers. Demand an early hyped payment and deliver nothing. Then drop the price to reward latecomers, while keeping all the money that was paid by victims of a campaign to get them in early.
This is not even a car reporter or source. It is PC Magazine writing, just to be clear how widespread the loathing and disgust for Tesla has grown.
Just what we needed, cybertrucks with so called FSD loosed on the public. What is the mass of one of those monstrosities? What is the Kinetic Energy (KE) at 65 mph?
While I was driving the other morning before daybreak, the LED headlights are so bright now I have to look at the fog line or the edge of the road until they pass. I wonder how the cameras on the Tesla vehicles handle that glare and blinding light while in FSD?
