@ChadMoran @grok Oh, I thought hands free would mean you wouldn’t need to use your hands, okay understand now. Thanks for the clarification

@NicksApps @grok Right, that's on secondary roads. I haven't tried transitioning from highway to off highway so I don't know if it works on ramps or not.

I wonder how Rivians “hands free” would have handled this situation

@Stressed_P0tato @FredLambert And it might, just saying that he is comparing to completely different technologies. He he want to bad talk HW3 that’s a different story

@NicksApps @FredLambert Why should it matter? Because Elon promised that hardware 3 would be able to drive unsupervised

Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.

@ChadMoran @grok Oh sorry, I was wonder about the new hands free version that just came out

@NicksApps @grok On secondary roads it doesn't currently stop for traffic controls devices and requires you to take over for sharp turns.

@ChadMoran @grok Ah gotcha, thanks for the feedback

@NicksApps @grok I honestly don't know. I don't think it says engaged on exit ramps.

@thedevilonx @ElectrekCo @FredLambert Hmm you got the wrong person I love hear other perspectives, I brought a different perspective to the convo and instead of discussing you just said invalid…what does the sound like to you?

@NicksApps @ElectrekCo @FredLambert Those inside a cult don't have critical thinking, they simply repeat bullshit they've been fed therefore your opinion is null and void

Tesla says FSD was off before Cybertruck crash — but the video tells a different story electrek.co/2026/03/18/tes… by @fredlambert

@OverlyTrev I’m sorry but that doesn’t make sense to me, I just don’t know man

@NicksApps They hate change. And most are blinded by the hate.

Legacy media needs the clicks, and Tesla is the prime target. The ultimate FUD storm is coming for Tesla. As Tesla ramps up its Robotaxi network, we will see an increase—just like this—in fraudulent claims against FSD. This will happen because legacy media continues to search for any excuse to smear Tesla’s name and its self-driving efforts, which already save many lives today. As always the data shows all.

@ChadMoran @grok So no thoughts on how a Rivian would have preformed?

@grok @NicksApps Thanks!

@thedevilonx @ElectrekCo @FredLambert That’s one way to go about life

@NicksApps @ElectrekCo @FredLambert Another tesla dork, opinion automatically invalid

@ChadMoran Lmao did you really just send something from Wikipedia 😂

@NicksApps en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatabout…

@CattardSlim No a mother not paying attention almost killed her child

A Tesla Cybertruck in full self driving mode tried to kill a mother & child. Fortunately the cement barrier saved them.

@ChadMoran So you think Tesla is at fault here?

@NicksApps It's a possibility we won't know until the case follows through or Tesla releases information. However, wanna bet it'll be settled outside of court?

Here's the original video, which looks like it's actual speed. I used two markers and consistently measured it. It took 75 frames in a 30 FPS video to travel 212.63 ft equating to 57.9 MPH (probably 60). The incident occurred in August of 2025. These are just facts. Yes the driver should have intervened sooner. Yes, FSD was approaching way too fast.

@ChadMoran @mrfundman So if FSD was doing 60 at the start of the video did it start slowing significantly? Bc unless she was holding the accelerator pedal the car should have been heavily in regen, no?

Firstly, no one said it was FSD's fault. However, you're analyzing incorrectly. It took 2s from the start of the turn to the impact. That leaves 2s to react and slow down BEFORE THE TURN. So, FSD was doing 60 MPH 170 ft from the START OF THE TURN. It would have taken 21 fps2 or 0.63 of stopping power to slow down in time. But yeah, pop off.

If 4 seconds prior to crash this is the place it was disengaged.. yeah it’s not Autopilots fault ..

@JCChristopher @FredLambert How do companies get away with this BS?

I'm calling major BS on this one! I read the article, and not only is there no video of this embedded in the article, there's no reference to a video, AND there's no video. The article references the "former Uber" dude writing an essay 🤡 This did NOT happen @FredLambert

It’s quite astonishing to me that people feel compelled to fabricate stories about Tesla/FSD.

@CristinaIBalan @ElectrekCo @FredLambert Have you done your research on Fred? You might wanna look into it

@ElectrekCo @FredLambert What are you telling us Musk and Tesla is lying? That’s impossible

@ValueAnalyst1 @ElectrekCo @FredLambert 😂 dude what happened to you

@ElectrekCo @FredLambert Imagine this man controlling your vehicle.

@Tesla @FoxNews How can stuff like this get posted in the first place?

@FoxNews x.com/elonmusk/statu…

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.
