    Saying there’s no chase car anymore isn’t fraud if there’s no chase car anymore. I just haven’t seen any video proof yet of new rides in the past couple days.

      They’ve said they’ve removed drivers from inside the taxis, then put them in cars trailing the taxis.
      Now they said there’s no chase car anymore, and there isn’t, because they put the drivers back in the taxi again.
      Both statements were technically correct, but purposefully misleading to bump the stock by a few billion right before earnings call.
      And at no point during all this did Tesla taxis drive autonomously.

        I think we gotta give them more than 24h after he says something is now happening to see if it is happening or not?

        It’s going to come out soon enough either way.

        edit: The call was explicit, no chase cars, no driver in the passenger seat, fully autonomous. And it’s not every car, but a small amount, which really could mean just 1.

          So far it seems to be zero, or one of the many Youtubers who’ve been hailing Tesla taxis all day long in order to be the first would have uploaded by now.

            Ya, I would expect a video any day now to confirm this one way or the other. This isn’t a lets wait a month and find out situation.

      Remember the Tesla Semi? They had videos transporting either empty boxes or potato chips, literally the least dense cargo possible.

        I really don’t care about any of that, what you’re doing is called moving the goal post.

        You baselessly claimed they committed fraud on the earnings call by saying something, which we truly don’t know if they did or didn’t yet. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t, we’ll find out soon enough.

        Edit: Sorry it’s not moving the goal post, it’s a whataboutism. What about that other time.
