I’m so sure that this will happen…
And also, who doesn’t want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.

Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla “Not a dealership for legal reasons”). So a lot closer to hundred than not.
Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I’m fine with it having 1k miles.
huquad@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.
50MYT@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.

Anytime Elon says anything about Tesla with a timeframe, you can guaran damn tee that it will not happen within that time frame.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
If you double it, you might actually be somewhat close to hearing a believable date for the actual time frame.

That’s not going to be enough…the dude claimed “coast to coast” autonomous driving capabilities “by end of the year” back in 2016.

Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I’m sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

He’s always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.
Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?
Infinite is valid all things considered.

DOGE will make sure it won’t be pulled. They’ll shut down any administration that tries.
This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

They won’t. Musk has a hard-on for doing everything with visible cameras for some stupid reason.

Not really. I mean that would require a timeline where humanity is both stupid enough to keep Tesla around and survives indefinitely which is highly unlikely.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It just means it will never be pulled.

primemagnus@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Do most people still believe him about, anything really?
untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I used to about some things, like when he talked about the how the spaceX rockets worked, but then he went insane. And now I’ve heard there’s a pretty good chance that starship isn’t gunna archive much at all, because its too heavy from the stainless steel they used to make it.
primemagnus@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
He just parrots bits and pieces of things other people have explained to him. His entire life is a lie thru and thru. I mean Tesla makes 99.9% of its profits from reselling carbon credits. He built a car company that can’t even make money from its cars.
He as fired from PayPal after 6 months with prejudice. His entire code needed to be gutted and essentially rewritten it was so bad.
He said there would be people living on Mars and built spaceships to get them there and in the 10 years since then, all they do is blow up.
He planned to build tunnels that would only let Teslas drive around lol.
He is poking electrodes in chimps claiming you will get superhuman powers and implanted people with the chips all of which showed the revolutionary skill of eye tracking, something Apple software has been able to do since 2021/22.
His starlinks are used mostly for political espionage and control by the rich oligarchs or oppressors.
He called a diver a pedo letting loose a legion of his sycophants because he criticized his insane idea to build a sub for a cave that could barely fit a person in choke points. In an other country. Where no one had asked him for help.
He faked being really good at a video game for internet points. Then people found out and laughed at him.
He did a Nazi salute.
I don’t know man. I can’t see anywhere at any time a smart person. All I see a little troll that conned the lot of you because most people know nothing about anything so stringing together some jargon seems legit.

… Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won’t be…
How would this even make any sense?
Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, … you have this option?
Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.
Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.
… And I am pretty not all models are made at all those locations.
Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves… to make a long distance journey… that … doesn’t exist, he abandoned all of that.
Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico… through the border checkpoint.
The auto charger network doesn’t exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue… and even if none of that happened… how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?
If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars… congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.
… fucking lunacy.
_stranger_@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).
They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.

LOL my Tesla? Nonono. The possibility of me ordering a Tesla would require so much leadership refactoring at Tesla, I’m confident this is no longer a possibility.
To put it more sussinctly:
Fuck off with this bullshit ad headline. I wouldn’t touch these swasticars if they jerked me off nightly
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
This is such obvious BS. Putting aside that Tesla are always making claims about self driving that they can’t deliver on, let’s just consider the basic logistics of doing this for any customer who lives more than about 300km from a Tesla factory (of which there are two IIRC, and one of those is in Austin and the other is in Fremont)…
How the fuck is the car going to recharge?
It’s not like it’s going to plug itself in, and there are no staff at Tesla supercharger stations as far as I’m aware. With the range on a typical Model S even getting to LA might be tough if it gets stuck in traffic. Fremont to LA is just under 600km if you’re lucky.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
It’s not like it’s going to plug itself in
It could stop at Tesla “dealerships” along the way and have the staff plug them in, or have fancy robotic chargers at just those locations. Surely there are enough “dealerships” that this is feasible for most people.

Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days.”
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Surely it would be Tesla since you don’t actually have possession of it, right? Right??
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Yeah, no.
That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn’t. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He’s just lying again .
untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
It does, and I’ve heard its safer than humans in some cases, but there’s legal issues in the way. Like if a driverless car kills someone, who’s fault is it?
riodoro1@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s not happening.
sorghum@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Dealers: charge bullshit fee
Mftr: “get rid of this bullshit fee by racking up miles right from the factory”
Customer: “this is such a phenomenal deal!”
WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.
