That Telsa owners can use their cars to make money while they are working as robo taxis -let's just say he vastly underestimates effort it takes to make progress - FSD is not there yet.

Vaporware assumes it will never happen. Is that the case you think or is it that he was vastly over optimistic? Very likely the latter.
FSD is currently in the quantum valley of product development: it is both vaporware and a shipping product.
The shipping product is FSD by name only. Actual automomy anywhere near the levels that has been promised to arrive "by the end of this year" for years will surely arrive by the end of this year.
Vaporware makes no assumptions about the future. Everything is vaporware until it isn’t.
They will get there at some acceptable point but not with the tech in current Tesla's - the current compute module will need to be replaced - think they showed off HW 4 in lieu of HW 3.

Sucks to be if you paid the early bird fee for it.

Agreed, feel bad for anyone that did that. Hopefully lessons learned on not making huge purchases based on some revolutionary future tech that isn’t fully baked yet / all problems solved for. Definitely an area I would never want to be an early adopter in.
