“says that unsupervised FSD will come to current Tesla owners in California next year”

You know what would be that kind of a car in today’s market? Chinese EVs...

I don’t think a slight whiff of hypocrisy is a problem for them if it means even more money.

Does he put an ottoman in a car seat for long road trips?

No, but they like money and oil so that helps.

I was gonna say. Since when is $2B a “whole lot” of money to the U.S. government? Don’t we pay something like 10x that amount in fossil fuels subsidies?
