January 17, 2023 / 5:57 PMA Tesla video purporting to demonstrate the automaker's self-driving capabilities was actually staged, according to claims from a senior engineer at the company reported by Reuters.titled"Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Teslas," that is still available. Before the nearly 4-minute video begins, the screen flashes text reading,"The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.
The video then shows a Tesla pulling out of a driveway, stopping at intersections and red lights, traveling on a highway, delivering a person to an office complex and then parallel-parking itself, set to the sound of the Rolling Stones'"Paint it black." The driver's hands hover just below the steering wheel for the duration of the video.
stevelackmeyer They do know that almost all concepts that auto makers roll out and display are non-functional when they are announced. Right? It’s been that way since the beginnings of the automotive industry. Same thing is done in software development.
Wouldn’t that also have effected stock holders expectations and considered stock manipulation
shaunking It drives now right? Fake it to you make it.. and guess what? They did
I heard they’re hiring George Santos for PR 😜
VoteBlue4Us muskrat put out a fake video? Shocking.
PsychicHealerC Nothing new here, staged is the part of elonmusk life.
This is relevant how ? 😂
So what, car companies use pre-production prototypes & concept cars all the time! Big question is why are you tweeting about it, on his platform? Anything to do with you don't agree with certain accounts being reinstated, angry that those you don't agree with now have a voice 🤔
This is when Tesla introduced FSD back in 2016. The video was an aspirational video. It was always clearly stated, we all knew. Does CBSnews stand for Crazy Bull Shit News now?
When other CEOs do this, they get charged with crimes
gtconway3d Elon is faking things at his company...that can't be right...
kenklippenstein
get in a tesla. go on main roads. it drives itself.
How it's done...
DBongrat Better six years late than never
GrogsGamut Oh dear, the SpaceKaren bros on the replies 😂
Uh-oh...
Sounds like criminal fraud
nikolamotor
gtconway3d Watch any TV commercial for a hamburger and tell me it’s real
gtconway3d
Sounds totally real and not made up at all.
Just one more reason I will never buy a Tesla.
gtconway3d Do not believe that for one moment.
gtconway3d It may well have been staged - but the 8 car accident in San Fran wasnt Luckily nobody was killed Way to go NaziSpaceKaren - if your shit doesnt work perfectly - dont send it out onto public roads where your death traps can kill me or my family
gtconway3d lol this shit show that is Elon Musk is the gift that just keeps getting better...
gtconway3d Uh oh…
gtconway3d Nikola ………. Say what. Lol
That sounds like it might not be legal.
gtconway3d The worldcom of the auto industry.
Reminds me of Theranos.
gtconway3d Goes with the NDA people sign at time of purchase.
gtconway3d 🎶Trouble🎶
'Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!' ~MElon, probably
Didn't a couple of billionaires go to jail recently for committing fraud, Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos, and Trevor Milton of Nikola? What Musk and tesla have done is a hundred times worse.
CBS needs to be investigated.
This story should tank the price enough for Saudis to buy the company. Your mission has been accomplished
Keep trying MSM.. as the harder you try the more you fail Enjoy more layoffs.. as they are coming
shaunking Musk gives off strong Madoff indication…
Great Thunberg staged her arrest today, that's the real story.
SECGov should be getting involved at this point. Clear stock manipulation
Like clock work the mainstream media goes after Elon in lock step the the current corrupt administration. We can't keep bankrupting people just because you don't like them. No rule we have to like each other.
That was six years ago. There’s plenty of video out there now that’s real (impressive). As far as I know full self driving was only released recently, so of course six years ago it was staged to show what was to come, and did.
In other words, like EVERY other car commercial.
More of CBS going after Musk for exposing coruption, bias, and censorship in order to help Democrats in elections. Maybe the tape was 'Russian Disinformation'
Cross the tyrannical left and they'll try to kill you.
