weird, isn't it? Almost like they just say things for the sake of saying them....Wasn't Ashok the one on the earnings call that was on with Elon stating that FSD for other car makers would just be a simple 'flip the switch' for FSD? And Tesla still can't get CT to work
Iāve been incredibly patient thus far, but if September comes and goes without FSD, Iām going to speak to an attorney and see what my options are. Most of the value of Founders Edition was in the FSD capabilities. So, I figure if the usable life of my truck is 10 years with FSD valued at $12k, weāre all down $100/month every month FSD slips. We shouldnāt tolerate this.

Itās hard to find a good lawyer these days⦠In between the four corners of my agreement it states āYou agree to purchase the vehicle (the āVehicleā) described in your Vehicle Configuration from Tesla, Inc.ā and in the Vehicle Configuration addendum it states āFull Self-Driving Capabilityā. Iād argue without the software, I do not have these capability. Now, I remember Tesla had me accept a separate web term related to FSD, post order, obviously because they were worried about exposing themselves to unnecessary liabilities. I might not have a great case, but Iād still like to pressure them to do right by their customers.Well, Iām an attorney. Iām not going to provide you legal advice over the interwebs, but, Iāll tell you what Iām going to do:
Iām going to be āActuallyā Incredibly Patient (AIPā¢ļø). Iām going to remember that I bought this car full well knowing that it wasnāt coming with FSD and several accessories that were part of my purchase price and that I both acknowledged and consented to that state of being at the time that I sent Tesla money.
Iālljust go ahead and remember that no date of delivery was promised to me for these accessories and FSD and then just wait patiently until Tesla hands me my FSD and ASS after they deem itās ready to be distributed to the public rather than wasting a whole bunch of time, energy and money only to have ASS handed to me in court.
Because, Iāll know that when Tesla is doing the calculus as to whether theyāre going to rush a product out so that someone who was given no firm date of delivery at the time of their purchase is investigating whether they should file a pointless lawsuit vs. rushing out potentially dangerous software which will do both financial and reputational harm, that theyāre going to ignore the former and focus on the latter 100% of the time.
Iāll recall that I havenāt lost a single dollar because of this delay I got exactly what I bargained for which was a car today and some other shit at a unspecified later date.
Iāll remember that no matter how earnest or wildly inaccurate any promises or statements Elon made outside of the four corners of my signed agreement that those promises arenāt worth the electrons theyāre printed on since they donāt modify my contract. ??ā
But again, thatās just what Iām going to do. You should do what feels right to you.
This is spot on. I'm a litigation attorney and I agree completely. This case wouldn't even be worth the filing fee.Well, Iām an attorney. Iām not going to provide you legal advice over the interwebs, but, Iāll tell you what Iām going to do:

You/your attorney may argue whatever you like. That doesnāt make them good arguments. Where you would probably want to begin is with a good definition of what having the ācapabilityā to do something actually means. But, again, Iām not going to provide you with free legal advice, Iām just going to tell you what I would do.Itās hard to find a good lawyer these days⦠In between the four corners of my agreement is states āYou agree to purchase the vehicle (the āVehicleā) described in your Vehicle Configuration from Tesla, Inc.ā and in the Vehicle Configuration addendum it states āFull Self-Driving Capabilityā.
