Jayme and Andy’s Tesla Adventures

Cybercab doesn’t sound like a good idea anymore. There’s a bigger picture, and it feels a bit cynical.

Oh yeah, Tesla will probably be canceling the Model Y and 3 out of nowhere. It’ll just be a Cybercab (you won’t own), and a Roadster (most can’t own). Can’t ever have anything nice to own anymore. Would hate to see the day if Tesla decides to no longer provide services for Tesla owners personal vehicles.

We got the impression Cybercab was not only *supplemental* to the consumer auto product line, but that individual proprietors would be able to purchase Cybercabs for entrepreneurial use. Now it looks like both of these perceptions are wrong, and that consumers are slowly being shut-out entirely (or nearly so) and Tesla is attempting to become some kind of inane Uber 2.0. No thanks. And Optimus too, btw - wtf? Now those will only be for "rent?" Man it's been a bad week to be a Tesla fan.

This is so wrong. Cybercab isn't going to be available everywhere, almost surely. No one wants to live in a society where they are dependent on company service vehicles. Also, I'm tired seeing these big Tesla influencers attempting to make this all sound like a great idea. What is Tesla doing?! Not good.

A little concerned that a few years from now, Tesla is going to stop updating HW4+ Tesla owners’ FSD consumer cars. And then we’ll all have a lite version. Hopefully the good updates won’t just be reserved for Cybercab and Tesla’s owned vehicles. 🫤 It’s not nonsense either. They’ve done it with Robotaxi where some have been reported to have V15, and the others don’t. @elonmusk @aelluswamy @TeslaSI

When are you and Tesla planning on canceling the best selling Model Y?

I guess when Elon said you’ll be able to own Cybercab and Optimus means you won’t own them. @elonmusk

“Put the lysine cellular contingency into effect, sir?” “Yes. We must limit Tezzla owner freedom. The Tezzlas require some cellular data every week. Without it, they will become comatose and brick. It must be supplied by us. No real trick to it. Just stop running the program…”

It feels like Tesla used Tesla FSD users to crowdsource billions of miles for FSD you’ll never own again, and for their autonomous only future you’ll never own either. @elonmusk

We can’t own FSD, we can’t own a Model X, we can’t own an S, we now won’t be able to own a Cybertruck. But we’ll be able to *rent* a Cybercab for 30 minutes or so We are sleepwalking ourselves right into surfdom. Feudalism 2.0 Hayek would be puzzled by how we got here

They’re not building an “autonomous” future. It looks more like a “we don’t need you, and you’re not involved in what we do” future. The robots and autonomy are just the method. You’ll own nothing and be happy. They’ve already said it. Elon looks to be following suit. Sad.

Well, that sucks to hear. Getting rid of personally owned vehicles, now this. We wanted to buy Optimus, not rent. We won’t be supporting that. Sad to see these odd decisions Tesla is making. @elonmusk

I’m happy to see the Tesla community agreeing that this is a disappointing move. Tesla owners love Tesla because of the technology and features our vehicles have. This whole “you’ll own nothing” movement is shit. Tesla has to stop going down that path before it’s too late.
