My 80-Year-Old Wife Fell Down & We Had to Drive Our Tesla Cybertruck to the Hospital; However, We Couldn’t Rely on The Driver Assist Software Because Tesla Has Put Us on FSD Jail

Clearly he should not be driving at all! And he should have called an ambulance instead of driving her to the hospital.

Are these other Cybertruck WANKS who attacked the elderly man for real??? Are they really just that brainwashed by Tesla and it CRAPPY SHITTY WORTHLESS FSD?

I am 100% against autonomous driving tech (made by ANY manufacturer, not just Tesla) being operated on any public roadways...however, I have a 98 year old parent who voluntarily stopped driving 6 yrs ago who loves the idea of auto driving in order to preserve independence. Sounds like that was what this man was looking for as well....sadly, he chose to go for it with a Cybertruck (God knows why)...but he should get to use what he paid for. INSANITY from Tesla...and no respect to their customers.

IF YOU PAY FOR A SERVICE THERE SHOULD BE NO PENALTYS OR SUSPENSIONS OR WHATEVER. THESE CYBERTRUCKS ARE NOTHING BUT A METAL TIN CAN. EF YOU ELON MUSK

Personally, I don't want to be on the road with an 80 y.o. driver who "needs" FSD to drive his 3+ ton cubertruck. Sounds like Tesla's policy is working and maybe this guy should sell his cubertruck and use ride sharing services instead.

Get a get gas vehicle pay less and then you don't have to deal with all of this nonsense that you pay thousands and thousands of dollars extra for that can be shut off in a click of a switch.

I follow this guy on Instagram. He's actually a retired ford worker. The story on their Instagram is about a family member renting a cyber truck to show him what it is. Unless something happened that they haven't posted on Instagram, this is a very different representation of this man. @patriotickenny is his Instagram

Smh he rely on the self driving? Smh if you can't drive your truck without the help of full self drive you shouldn't be driving. This moron needs his license taken away. Sounds like the 1 week no self driving is working just fine for people like this. Scary to think that there are people like this driving these 1000 hp 3 ton pieces of steel around. At 80 your license needs to be taken away end of story.

It takes 5 strikes to earn a suspension. Maybe he shouldn't use FSD if he managed 5 strikes in 3 months.

Furthermore the driver does not make it sound like an emergency "While FSD was in jail this week, my 80-year-old wife fell, and I had to take her to the Hospital for X-ray/CT scans to be evaluated for injury."

This may sound harsh, but maybe he is just at the age that he should turn in his license if he requires FSD to drive to a hospital.

I'm not 100% familiar with cyber trucks or the fds technology, but I am thrilled that at Ed's age he had the foresight and intelligence to buy a piece of equipment to aid him in life and remaining independent, it sounds like Ed went out of his way to be minimal burden on his family and friends and bought technology, mind you I said bought, to aid him and not killing people at his age and diminished driving ability. Good for you Ed for not being so self-deluded into thinking that you don't need a little extra help. That being said I can barely believe the replies in comments of the self-righteous complete and utter jackasses. That's like saying Ed has a pacemaker and he somehow used it incorrectly so he deserves to have his pacemaker shut off for a week. I hope all you imbeciles who are writing these ridiculous and truly moronic replies remember that time stands still for no One and when you all get to be Ed's age I hope the younger generation comments about you the way you're currently commenting about Ed. For Ed to face his own mortality and limitations and spend his hard-earned money on something to aid him in life and to have it taken away from him, even though he paid for it, is truly one of the most arbitrarily idiotic things I've heard in my lifetime. I am sure the fds software was not cheap and if Ed is using it incorrectly and Tesla can see that he's using it incorrectly in some way but then they should try to educate Ed so that he can correctly use the software or give the man a refund. This is just another example of how some people are so educated that they've lost the ability to use common sense. Tick tock goes the clock for us all, and when karma comes knocking to bite you fools in the ass just remember Ed trying to get his wife to the hospital, or just trying to live his life without being a burden and know that you get exactly what you deserve. Signed utterly disgusted with my fellow man.

The piece of trash program should be removed permanently along with the maker.

Confused why FSD, a paid feature, is a privilege. Perhaps commenters are not aware of what FSD stands for because I am pretty sure it stands for Full Self Driving. But of course everyone knows that Tesla has greatly oversold this feature which has failed to live up to what was promised.

Not a Tesla driver, but if Ed is to be believed, does not sound like anything he was doing warranted being locked out. Didn't sound like he was sleeping at the wheel or anything. And as far as Ed being too old to be driving, I would think that would make him a perfect customer for a vehicle that can come to you and that offers "FSD". Again, not his fault that Tesla has blatantly oversold FSD capabilities and he happened to believe the hype. False advertising maybe?

And damn... It's a privilege... Gotta be a real fanboy to say that with a straight face.

Clearly, Tesla has its users as brainwashed as Apple users are. It's like they've joined a cult and have decided a piece of poorly written software is their god. AI not recognizing that a user is trying to follow the instructions but is overapplying pressure shows how limited the tech actually is. And the fact that anyone refers to using something bought and paid for as a "privilege" is nuts.

If you rely on FSD to drive then don't drive.... Hang those keys up and why even by a "big truck" if you need software to help you drive it... Smh Tesla owners are something else.

When are the common people on this Planet going to get sick of and revolt against these billionaire taking over the world with their money.

Yeah, this is a screen grab from when this man was experiencing his kids cyber truck. He's a retired Ford employee. He doesn't own one, and this is some BS koolaide you're all doing naval shots with. Y'all need a hobby.

I drive a Silverado and during work, an extended van. I don't have self driving features, nor do I own a Tesla, however, if a person feels a "need" to have this feature all the time, then this person possibly ought not to be driving at all. Maybe an ambulance would have been more appropriate.

Get rid of the deathtrap!!!!!!

Too bad about his wife, but if you are dumb enough to buy a cyber truck, then don't complain when President Musk lies to you. Afterall, he learned from the best (Trump).

Uh. Shouldn't he just be happy that the bucket of bolts didn't turn into a brick as he was driving to the hospital?
