特斯拉「外卖式」交车:APP下单全无人驾驶到家门,雷军:I服了You
Beep beep~ Your Tesla “takeaway” has arrived home!
Elon Musk released a 30 - minute video of Tesla's FSD fully autonomous driving to deliver a car to a user's home, which shocked netizens.
For the first time in history, buying a car is as simple as ordering takeaway: place an order on the APP, and the car will be automatically delivered to your doorstep.
Musk's grand vision has taken a step further. Even Lei Jun is impressed and says he wants to learn from it.
Elon Musk has outdone himself again
First, Musk solemnly posted a tweet claiming that Tesla had completed the “first in history” fully autonomous vehicle delivery.
A customer's newly - bought Model Y drove more than 40 kilometers from a Texas factory to the customer's home without anyone in the car and without any external remote control, relying on FSD:
But he didn't release any video evidence. As expected, he was met with a barrage of doubts and sarcasm. For example, some netizens posted “receiving the goods” photos:
Some people sarcastically said, “Musk is so rich, why would he lie? There's no need to provide you with any evidence.”
Some people were indignant about Tesla's hasty behavior, saying that if an accident occurred and someone, even a child, was killed, Musk should commit suicide to atone for his sins:
Some people also questioned the whole process:
There was no video evidence at all, not even a single photo. It was highly suspicious!
First, Musk let these doubts and criticisms simmer for about a day, and then — Kapow!!:
He directly released a complete 30 - minute video without any editing. The scenes included highways, urban areas, and parking:
There were some impressive performances, such as automatically driving out of the factory warehouse gate:
Automatically entering and exiting highway ramps:
Avoiding pedestrians at intersections and making a right - turn autonomously according to traffic lights:
The whole journey wasn't particularly difficult. There were no complex situations such as mixed traffic of people and vehicles, traffic jams, or unfriendly lane - changing and cutting in... The difficulty was far less than the scenario when users tested FSD in San Francisco's Chinatown before.
It was just an ordinary highway in the sparsely - populated western United States with good traffic conditions.
But this was the first fully autonomous new - car delivery in history, and Musk staged a drama where he was first questioned and then suddenly cleared the doubts by releasing evidence.
No wonder Tesla doesn't have a public marketing and public - relations department. Musk himself is full of drama.
The public response was unprecedentedly positive. 99.99% of the comments and reposts under Musk and Tesla's official X accounts were like “Amazing!”, “Milestone!”, “Making history!”:
Even Lei Jun, the boss of Xiaomi on the other side of the ocean, showed his respect.
Whether netizens believe it or not, Lei Jun is convinced
There are doubts, but they are rare on the X platform controlled by Musk.
On other media and forums, the doubts mainly focus on issues such as legality and compliance, and whether there was cheating.
For example, some netizens revealed an inside story, saying that after the owner got the car, the system was immediately downgraded to the most common FSD:
Some people questioned the legality of doing this with mass - produced non - Robotaxi cars, considering that Musk has always been in the gray area of legality:
There are more doubts about the technical route. It's not hard to imagine that people suspect that Tesla used high - precision maps or pre - trained the model on this route...
But whether netizens believe it or not, Lei Jun believes it.
Mr. Lei reposted Tesla's official post on Weibo and said, “Tesla is amazing. Xiaomi still has a lot to learn.”:
The most common interaction under this Weibo post was still urging for car delivery.
Most fans selectively ignore the gap between Xiaomi's intelligent technology and that of top players. Even if they mention it themselves, they turn a blind eye. They just can't wait to pay and pick up the car... Even Musk himself doesn't have this kind of treatment.
It's difficult to quantitatively evaluate technological advancement, but in terms of personal charisma, Lei Jun has surpassed Musk. It is also recommended that Mr. Lei dismiss Xiaomi's marketing department.
Let's get back to Tesla's fully autonomous car delivery. There are two perspectives for you to consider.
First of all, this 30 - minute video is undoubtedly a public - relations and marketing move. The shooting quality, camera arrangement, and film soundtrack are all the work of a professional team.
However, the car - buying behavior of the owner itself should not be fake. He was a lucky one selected by Musk and cooperated with Tesla's shooting requirements throughout the process.
What's in doubt is the technical solution itself. Of course, it's possible that Musk “staged a show”, considering he has a “criminal record”: The 2019 FSD “fully autonomous driving” video was later proven by a former employee to be carefully staged and edited, and it was an order personally given by Musk.
If, as Musk said, there was no remote cloud - assisted driving, no pre - installed local programs, and the whole journey was completed by the AI driver and the car was delivered to the user without the system reverting to the previous version, the impact would be significant.
According to North American regulations, L2 assisted driving was previously classified as ADAS, and L4 and above were called autonomous driving ADS, which requires no one in the car and no remote assistance at the back - end.
Tesla has actually broken through the limitations of assisted driving and met the North American definition of “autonomous driving” in mass - produced cars.
Tesla's mass - produced cars are actually equivalent to Robotaxis, further proving the upgrade from L2.
At the same time, it completely eliminates the necessity of L3.
Finally, Tesla has completely subverted the traditional automobile retail model. There's no need for direct - sales stores. Just place an order on the APP, and the car will be directly delivered from the factory to your home. The whole - process experience is no different from ordering takeaway.
You may ask, don't you still have to go to the store for test - drives and maintenance? Come on, can't the test - drive car also be directly delivered from the factory to your doorstep? And if FSD can drive the car from the factory to your home, it can also drive the car from your home to the factory for repair and maintenance.
