Upset that @ElonMusk delayed the Robotaxi Unveil?
Get your fix of fake Tesla demos by taking a trip down memory lane and reading about @Tesla's past demos that turned out to be fake $TSLA stock pumps.

I saw a streamer today who said she'd order FSD for her Tesla for a long distance trip next week so she doesn't have to drive and is free to use her phone. People who think musk hasn't deceived a huge number of people into believing that Teslas are truly autonomous are delusional

In 2015 I decided on a whim to check out Tesla's battery swap station that was earning the company 9 figures in California ZEV credits, and found it wasn't real. Instead Tesla was using diesel generators to charge cars. Here's how this changed my life 🧵

Nobody can replicate @wholemars's zero-intervention Tesla Full Self-Driving drives. So we decided to investigate. It turns out Omar Qazi, the pathological liar, is lying to the public again, publishing cherry-picked propaganda videos, when he knows FSD will try to kill you.
Omar Qazi (@wholemars), the leader of Elon Musk’s Full Self-Driving propaganda operation, constantly publishes tweets claiming that Full Self-Driving (FSD) is “really fucking good” and “arguably flawless”. Omar often makes announcements like “FSD BETA IS READY FOR ROBOTAXI!!!!!!!”, while publishing propaganda videos showing zero-intervention drives, where he never touches the steering wheel or pedals as FSD drives him from place to place without any issues.
@wholemars was identified by The Wall Street Journal as the Twitter account @elonmusk most often replies to. Omar always seems to be aware of internal @Tesla FSD news before the general public. He is among the first to get new releases. And somehow, like Elon Musk, FSD does not require him to ever touch the steering wheel, even though it appears he doesn’t use a wheel weight. Some, including NHTSA, have speculated he has access to the recently discovered “Elon Mode”.
What we want to know is how Omar achieves the long flawless drives in San Francisco that he frequently publishes, such as this video published September 25, 2023. Most commentators on his X posts note that when they try similar drives where they live they are unable to achieve zero-intervention drives.
Many people have speculated that since there are far more Teslas in California than anywhere else, FSD may be better trained to California roads and weather than elsewhere. But where we are located, in Santa Barbara, California, we get the same terrible results as everywhere else. So, FSD certainly isn’t optimized for all of California.
Maybe FSD is only optimized for Omar’s (and FSD’s) hometown, San Francisco. But we tried FSD in San Francisco and found that it performed just as poorly in San Francisco as it did in Santa Barbara. So San Francisco isn’t the answer.
Maybe Omar cherry-picked routes that he found FSD was particularly good at. So we decided to replicate Omar’s routes exactly like he did them. Same starting point, same destination, same route, same version of FSD (11.4.7). And it was awful. It tried to run a red light, it put pedestrians at risk before stopping in the middle of an intersection, and then, just after we finished Omar’s route and took the same road back, it ran a stop sign.
Never once did we manage to replicate one of Omar’s hallowed zero-intervention drives.
Once you have eliminated all that is impossible then whatever remains must be the truth.
The only conclusion we can come to is that Omar tries many runs of his cherry-picked routes until the traffic and weather conditions are just right, and he gets lucky, resulting in a zero-intervention drive. He then publishes this cherry-picked video of a zero-intervention drive, presenting it as proof that FSD is ready for full autonomy, when the truth is FSD is a pile of trash that Omar says “will at some point randomly try to kill you”. FSD makes driving much more stressful, even Omar complains about it. FSD drives like a drunk teenager, or as Omar describes it, FSD “is like having a moron with three brain cells drive your car”. And all the while, Omar publishes promotional videos claiming FSD is amazing.
We have repeatedly invited Omar and other FSD promoters to come to Santa Barbara to verify the results of our tests that show that FSD is terrible. Instead, they claim our tests are faked, then they refuse our invitation, because they know if they accepted, it would validate our claims.
We have offered to come to San Francisco and have Omar drive his car on his routes with multiple cameras recording. He has refused because he knows that his deception will be uncovered.
No one should believe anything that Omar, the pathological liar, says.

How S&P inclusion bursts the Tesla bubble:
Ever since June (at $200/share), Tesla stock has been driven by a perpetual motion machine of hype and call option flows -- nothing more. And everyone knows it.
Here's what not everyone knows:

"About 20% higher than it should be" 🤣🤣🤣
'US economic uncertainty remains at near-record levels, and the stock market is at an all-time high. If history is any guide, something’s got to give. In fact, based on this historical pattern, the S&P 500 appears to be about 20% higher than it should be.' wsj.com/articles/stocks-laug…

@Tesla best $65k ever spent. @TeslaModelY @TeslaModelYFan I went to return the vehicle after only three days and I was told I couldn’t because I had “already received the state incentive.” SMH - not the only issue.

No new whales
No real ESG funds
More first page selling than buying. That's correct, more sellers than buyers just from the first page (which is all that matters)
