> He failed at Full Self Driving

His time plan might have failed, but that doesn’t mean that full self driving has failed. That’s like if I said: “I’m going to make 10 million dollars by the end of next week”, and then people would call me a failure for only making 5 million in a week.

Or do you mean that full self driving actually has failed, not taking into account any time plans? I think the full self driving capabilities of Teslas are downright incredible. Not fully ready for robotaxi territory, but extremely impressing.

That's not really a comparable analogy. More like "Here is this cool feature I'm going to make by the end of the year, pay me $5,000 for it now." and you never actually get it. It's fraud.

I think it's closer to saying you'll build a bridge in a week but you build a bridge where the roadway ends part of the way across. You can still get to the other side using the steel girders but it's really not useful. FSD sort of works but fails in unexpected ways and at random times so you have to pay just as much attention as if you were driving.
