💡 Inside Track & Deep Insight
In a brief but pointed reply, Elon Musk challenged the initial framing of a recent Tesla crash, arguing that the FSD system is designed for low-speed neighborhood driving, not high-speed scenarios. The comment underscores an ongoing tension between Tesla's marketing of FSD as a nearly autonomous system and real-world accident data.
By isolating the speed and road type, Musk aims to redirect scrutiny away from FSD's core performance and toward driver behavior or external factors. This rhetorical move is crucial as Tesla faces regulatory investigations and public skepticism over safety claims.

Yes, this makes no sense. FSD drives slowly through neighborhood streets and this was a high speed crash!
