🚀 Tesla's Euro troubles
Plus: Ford's pushback, New Tesla patent, VFACTS boycott and more
Hey S3XY 🧤, Tesla’s Business Development head Rohan Patel confirmed that despite recent DCAS regulation updates, FSD’s system initiated maneuvers wouldn’t be allowed to any extent which practically kills the core of using FSD in first place.
The way updated regulation works is that the driver would need to approve of almost every significant maneuver or set of maneuvers.
Broader conclusion is, whole ecosystem and regulators would need to update the regulations so as to make use of true autonomy and Tesla seems to be working alongside regulators to break the FUD but it looks like a long journey for now.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:
Brett Adcock’s latest interview.
Free FSD transfers.
Model Y for India.
Lithium free batteries.
Let’s take a dive..👇🏻

Freebie: Tesla is allowing free FSD Transfers on new Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X deliveries for now.
Lighting delights: Korean light show on April 6 with 1000+ Teslas.
Autonomy: Even with the recent DCAS regulation updates in Europe, Tesla FSD couldn’t be used in it’s best optimal form, confirms Rohan Patel.

India entry: Tesla starts production of right hand drive cars for export to India at Giga Berlin.
FSD dreams: Are you having hard time grasping FSD’s upcoming monopolistic run, take some time out and read this for some clarity.
