I saw that article in Electrk.Some are claiming the driver for not grabbing the wheel to avoid the road debris. But Full Self Driving implies no steering wheel to grab if you are in a so-called Robotaxi. Point is, FSD isn't and neither is the robotaxi. It's performance art by Musk.

 

Well, a couple of Tesla owners appear to have given it a try, with a plan to drive a Model Y from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida, operating under FSD the entire way.
At least, that was their plan. In reality, they crashed into road debris after just 60 miles, breaking the car's suspension.

It gets even better. It appears they did a quick repair (requiring welding, an everyday occurrence) and continued.

Now they're having battery problems, unable to charge reliably at DCFC or L2. Overheating. Etc.

At this point, I expect they want the car to just burst into flames on the next charging attempt. Imagine the views!

 

The video shows the interior and all the contents being thrown into the air when the "self driving" Tesla smacked into the road debris (on what looked like a wide open road). Doesn't surprise me that there may be some other damage.

Another PT Barnum (Musk) claim proves to be wishful thinking at best, a stock-pumping lie at worst

 

Stock's up 5% over the last 5 days. I guess Enron has a new name these days - Tesla.

 

Battery needs to be replaced. Tesla is doing it "under warranty."

One of the perks of being a Tesla influencer is having damage caused thru negligence covered by warranty. Any normal person's car would probably be totaled, and neither the manufacturer or insurance would cover it.

 

While this may look bad, the reality is that both systems have so few crashes (note - no crashes since the first day for Tesla) that these crash rates are noise when compared to human driven vehicle crash rates.
