Oh but EVs catch on fire, and what will you do if you get in a wreck and can't open the door or roll down the window? LOLOLOL

Yes, Bloomberg reprinted Tesla's own self-reported data which bundled together autopilot (driver supervised) and FSD. Love you James, but you do tend to gloss over details in the interest of creating cleaner, less complex narratives. Wish you would stop doing that because most of your Patreon members take everything you say as gospel.

Yeah I think James is a brilliant investor but I think he has some blind spots he doesn’t fully admit to himself sometimes. Everyone has their own biases. If you look at the data in this report there are several issues with it, not just including the autopilot numbers but other fundamental flaws. Autopilot hours are driven primarily on the highway while Waymo is primarily in crowded/unpredictable urban environments. Also, waymo is including everything reported to police, not just airbag deployments. The average US number is including minor fender benders and pedestrian accidents. There are some serious apple to orange comparisons going on here. I dont doubt that FSD has amazing potential, I just wish Elon was more committed to accurate data!

This is BS comparison since Tesla is supervised. & Waymo isn’t. How many times people intervene to avoid accidents no one knows. Cmon James papi. 😃
