Tesla’s Viral ‘Autonomous’ Car Delivery Video Is Splitting the Internet

Elon Kasturi likes a ceremony. Tesla’s marketing machine was successful at the sightseeing and 2 June, the company provided a more bold display: a 30 -minute video to show the first autonomous distribution of the Tesla vehicle, to show any driver, any remote control.

“The first complete autonomous distribution of Tesla Model Wai from a customer home from the factory across the city with the highway ended the day before Shidiul !!” The musk posted at X

In the follow -up Billionaire CEO extended the hype further: “There was no man in the car and no remote operator was under control at any time. Full autonomous!” He added: “As the best of our knowledge, this is the first completely autonomous drive that is not driving on a person or a public highway in a car.”

Together, the tweets and the videos he had with him collected about 15 million views. Tesla first posted a three -minute timelaps teaser, then followed the entire 5 -minute video on June 25th. A model Y is seen navigating the city’s roads, highway interchange and intersection from Tesla Gigafactory to the new owner’s house in Austin.

The car stops at symptoms, yields red light and driven through true traffic, all without any human. Delivery ends visually agitated with the new owner because the model Y itself is roll -up on its driveway.

However online, the response was not a unanimous surprise.

‘Great marketing,’ or wrong direction?

Although Tesla fans have praised the Historic Tihasik of the video, many users of X, the platform’s musk also pushed its owner tightly. In connection with the Google-owned self-driving company’s January post, a user wrote, “Wemo has previously claimed a complete autonomous drive on the highways.” Wemo quietly has provided full autonomous highway services to employees in selected cities since the beginning of this year.

Others ridiculed the presentation as PR stunt.

“Stunning! So they simply illustrate what Robotaxi would do across the United States in 2026. Great marketing, Tesla team!” A user quietly said that Tesla’s Robotaxi pilot launched only a dozen vehicles and a human “supervisor” a few days ago in the front seat. On the contrary, WiMo and Cruise have provided a public ride without taking any people in the driver’s seat for months.

Some users even asked Grock, X’s built -in chatbot to analyze the car’s autonomy level. “@Grock at which level autonomous driving is out of how much level it is?” The art-standard SAE scale has asked a user, which has self-driving capabilities from Level 0 (no automation) to level 5 (all situations are completely autonomous, no human input needed).

Others still capture polarization that defines Tesla Discourse online.

“This is for true fans! And for the most viewed haters!

Take us

Tesla’s position as one of the world’s most polarized technology companies appears here. The enthusiasts praised the video as the beginning of a new chapter of transportation. Detectors pointed to the long history of the mask of broken promises around autonomy, which includes failed targets for robotaxi rollouts like 2019.

Obviously, Tesla has made real progress with its full self-driving (FSD) software, a system that uses cameras, sensors and neural networks to train her vehicles to respond to her vehicles as a human driver. However, the system is still classified as level 2 autonomy, which means it is needed to monitor the driver and is not recognized as legally completely autonomous.

And that is the rub: the latest claim of musk is best exaggerated. Wemo, Cruise and several Chinese companies have operated similar demo. Some, like Weemo, are already operating a driverless vehicle in a complex environment like San Francisco in the suburbs.

What Tesla is pulling here is impressive. However, it is still seen whether it presents a breakthrough or carefully engineering stunt.

The real question now: can Tesla do it again tomorrow? And the next day? Rush Hour? In the rain? Does the same pre-examined route not restarted?

Until this question is answered, skepticism will only increase.
