I’m so sure that this will happen…

      Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla “Not a dealership for legal reasons”). So a lot closer to hundred than not.

      Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

        Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I’m fine with it having 1k miles.

        This is all hypothetical though. There’s no way this timeframe is happening.

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

    Anytime Elon says anything about Tesla with a timeframe, you can guaran damn tee that it will not happen within that time frame.

    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

    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.

      DOGE will make sure it won’t be pulled. They’ll shut down any administration that tries.

      This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

          Because he’s cheap and didn’t wanna spend the money. It’s why the interior is so plain for the amount of money you spend.

      Not really. I mean that would require a timeline where humanity is both stupid enough to keep Tesla around and survives indefinitely which is highly unlikely.

          Okay, in that case I guess it is possible that we are stupid enough to keep them around and stupid enough to wipe ourselves out so soon that they will be around until the end of humanity.

      Didn’t know that list.

      Though, for all I hate the guy, there are a lot of misleading assertions in that list.

    MY new Tesla? Doubt it. Considering I’m unemployed due to this clown administration and I don’t tend to upgrade much of anything, let alone a vehicle, unless/until the old one no longer functions.

    … 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.
