Can you still dismiss Tesla's progress?

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ If you're still echoing outdated claims about Tesla's FSD without firsthand experience, you’re no different from academic parrots relying on headlines. Watch actual comparisons of "Tesla FSD v13 vs $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Waymo" on YouTube—countless tests show real results. Can you still dismiss Tesla's progress after seeing this? Evaluate companies based on real-world data, not assumptions.

Now, when choosing between a budget $BYD COMPANY(01211)$ $BYD Co., Ltd.(BYDDF)$ and a slightly pricier Tesla, which would you prefer? These are not cars in the same league. And have you heard of Tesla's affordable model launching next year? Ignoring this fact while forecasting sales raises questions about bias toward BYD's dominance.
