Worth reading the actual tweet, not just the article's truncation of it

> Soooooo my @Tesla @cybertruck crashed into a curb and then a light post on v13.2.4.

> Thank you @Tesla for engineering the best passive safety in the world. I walked away without a scratch.

> It failed to merge out of a lane that was ending (there was no one on my left) and made no attempt to slow down or turn until it had already hit the curb.

> Big fail on my part, obviously. Don't make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen. I follow Tesla and FSD pretty closely and haven't heard of any accident on V13 at all before this happened. It is easy to get complacent now - don't.

> @Tesla_AI how do I make sure you have the data you need from this incident? Service center etc has been less than responsive on this.

> I do have the dashcam footage. I want to get it out there as a PSA that it can happen, even on v13, but I'm hesitant because I don't want the attention and I don't want to give the bears/haters any material.

> Spread my message and help save others from the same fate or far worse.

how is this not a cult? if a toyota or mercedes car veered off into a light pole would they write the same tweets?

unless this is sarcasm that can, at best in the current times, be construed as serious.

Most FSD users are in it because they see how great things could be if self-driving existed, and are willing to put in the risk to get the algorithms trained.

[barbazoo]

The risk is mostly on the people outside without any say on the matter.

[scottyah]

How does that risk differ from human drivers? Other than the fact that the training would affect many vehicles vs just one driver, and the fact that humans are only supervised with possible intervention for 6hrs total.

The problem is that it's not just them putting in the risk: it's everyone else around them.

As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/

"Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

[baggachipz]

I used to be. Now I just want my damn money back.

[boringg]

Right the whole point was not to make an article attention about all the negative news. Which is funny because this thread is immediately full of complaints.

"Big fail on my part, obviously" WTF??? Big fail to buy Tesla and even bigger to use FSD. With my almost 20 year old car I don't have to worry about none of this BS.
