this was a wall and plowed through it. He said that this is because Tesla uses cameras and not LIDAR.

Mark Rober is getting slaughtered on the socials for his dishonest Tesla video

Mar 17, 8:07pm

Rightfully so

this after he admitted some of his glitter bomb videos were staged too.

Their stock went up over 25% when he posted the video

He’s had other bad ones too.

His one with Bill Gates was another one of his inaccurate videos.

No. Talking out of his rear end? Absolutely.

What a bum. That’s lame of him

So where was the dishonesty? Just curious.

Yukon

Don’t know. This thread is the first I’m hearing of the dishonesty.

KingDave

He said he had FSD activated but it disengages right before he hit the wall

whoneedscorners?

Mar 17, 8:25pm

Did he say FSD mode? I just watched it again and he's saying Autopilot which to my understanding is Tesla's..

greatbam

Mar 17, 8:37pm

It’s a well known problem that autopilot will disengage right before an accident

Yiowa

Mar 17, 8:38pm

A few issues, but the main problem was he said it was on Full Self Driving

The video was obviously sponsored by Luminar and bashing on Tesla.

Adwight

Mar 17, 8:31pm

Yikes. Maybe he should do a video on conflict of interest and bias in scientific research.

KingDave

Mar 17, 8:36pm

He was using an outdated program + disengaged the system he said he was testing

He tested his car, not the latest Tesla or system and people are upset. He’s a

People thinking Disney would be mad at him is funny. He showed he researched

he was using very old Autopilot technology in the Tesla, not the newest stuff.

I enjoyed the video

archie

Mar 17, 8:19pm

I did too. But now that it looks as if it was a paid infomercial for Luminar

jrifkin48

Mar 17, 8:38pm

when they're driving into the spray, the driver is wearing a Luminar t-shirt

BYUFBDAD

Mar 17, 9:05pm

95% of the people who watch his videos are not going to even think about Luminar

robin

Mar 17, 9:06pm

I watched it thinking Tesla technology stinks and buy a car with LIDAR

jrifkin48

Mar 17, 9:16pm

i agree it was a comparison of the technology between lidar and cameras, but

robin

Mar 17, 10:12pm

Luminar stock jumped when the video was released

Skeptical Optimist

Mar 17, 9:18pm

As he should. He sold out.

Adwight

Mar 17, 8:19pm

He was either duped by Luminar or paid and knew what he was doing

jrifkin48

Mar 17, 8:34pm

Seems like a paid and knew what he was doing. Seems to me there's other videos where he's done this before.

Did anyone else catch the random ef bomb he drops in the vid?

Ten_Hour_Drives

Mar 17, 8:25pm

He said fudge.

It sounded very much like ef word on yt to me

Ten_Hour_Drives

Mar 17, 8:55pm

In the clip he posted on X he said fudge

Skeptical Optimist

Mar 17, 8:41pm

Also on his official video they make it look like he said the “s” word

Yukon

Mar 17, 8:56pm

Does it really matter that he dropped the F-word?

You guys are nuts.
