Stop it. Please. Again, there are no Tesla drivers who have been misled about the capabilities of the system. The people who have been mislead are folks like you who read arguments on the internet and don't drive these cars. Go try one and see how the system works. It doesn't permit the kind of confusion that everyone constantly assumes. It just doesn't.


There are many instances of people defeating the lockout system. Social media is full of these types of demonstrations. Plenty have the attitude that it is okay to do this. Some have died while showing it off.


"Defeating the lockout system" wasn't the discussion at hand. The contention upthread is that Tesla drivers did not know that they needed drive the car.


The widespread defeat demonstrations are evidence of the pop-culture misunderstanding of the situation and owners’ willingness to:

1. concede to peer pressure and/or

2. doubt of the validity or seriousness of those warnings/lockouts
