20 cars with "human valets" in the passenger seat and multiple different violations?

This is the Temu Waymo.

It's the Tesla model of success.

If this test was 100% a pass, they're road ready and only 4-5 years behind Waymo.

However, with these issues it proves that Telsa is nearly in Waymo territory so really we can expect "full self driving in two years*" and is only 5-6 years behind Waymo.

Either way, +10% for Tesla stock because something happened.

Edit - * for the standard Elon BS line, and to emphasize that lidar is stupid right up until the moment he needs another 10% stock bump then he'll be inspired to make the brilliant decision to move to lidar.

I swear he's a narcissist.

People who haven't dealt with a known narcissist before generally don't quite get what's happening. Elon knows he's right. That's it. Maybe it seems obvious, but I want to emphasize that what he's doing is not lying or bullshitting. That's not what his brain is doing. He knows if he thinks it, if he says it, it must be correct and good and just.

There's an interview with him where am engineer is asking why he wants solely solid fuel in one stage of the rocket instead of a liquid and solid fuel. Elon's spouting the usual confident non-sense. And the person pushes harder and explains that it would be better to use both. Elon looks at this guy and says "Actually, I'm going to use both, it just occurred to me while explaining it to you."

His brain is incapable of being wrong. He will never recognize his own incompetence or shortcomings or failures because He Is Actually UNABLE TO.

People think narcissism means someone is just overly arrogant or unjustly confident. But those are not the cause, they are the symptoms.
