Tesla's Emergency Drive Away lets you flee a Supercharger still plugged in. It damages the car and charger, and one owner got a $539 bill for just pressing it.
Tesla made its Houston Robotaxi map ten times bigger and shaped it like a rocket. Only 34 cars serve it, the Cybercab is missing, and safety is still the brake.
Tesla cancelled the Cybertruck for Australia and New Zealand after almost seven years of deposits, and offers free FSD if you buy another car. For me, that is cynicism.
Tesla is building its own maps for FSD, seven years after Musk called maps a huge mistake. For me, an FSD that can't keep a 30 km/h limit belongs off the road.

Tesla renamed "Full Self-Driving" to Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe after Germany called it misleading. In the US it still sells as FSD for $99 a month. In my opinion, customers who paid for a promise deserve their money back.
A gold Tesla Cybercab lost the entire outer panel of its driver-side door in a low-speed crash in Philadelphia. Tesla fans call it smart design. We call it a weak spot, and the silence around it is the bigger problem.
