"Just finished a long AI5 design review with the Tesla California and Texas chip engineers. It’s going to be great. And AI6 and AI7 will follow in fast succession. AI8 will be out of this world."
At this point, we can assume he's just trolling, but looking at the stock price some doubts would be warranted.
In any case, they know perfectly well that real FSD is impossible on their current (V4) hardware, and already admitted that the version they sold millions of (V3) will never be capable to run even their current models. So much for 'every Tesla produced from now on have all the hardware needed for FSD' - since 2016. A quick reminder from almost 10 YEARS AGO:
v14-mini models has been promised for hw3 and most likely there will be upgrade retrofit to ai5.
but in reality - wait for few more years and hw3 vehicles are going to be ageing out of their prime time anyway. they already are replaced by newer models anyway.
IMO most drivers don't care about full-robotaxi mode anyway, all we want is upgrade from autopilot.
I think the word you’re looking for is “lying”, or “fraudulent”. Trolling is done to elicit an emotional reaction, but Musk has been deliberately deceiving customers and scamming them out of their money for years.
