Model S was successful until Model 3/Y blew it out of the water. Waymo’s timeline is not relevant because they lose money on every car and every deployment. Tesla’s the only financially successful developer of self driving. They can scale it up much faster.In fact, instead of making $5k per car produced, cybercab will net them $50k per car per year.
The world doesn't consist of just Waymo and Tesla, and even if it did there's no guarantee either succeeds.

Assuming no mass boycotts, nor targeted vandalism. We've already seen both in the last 12 months.
It’ll be fine. Especially when people compare the price of ownership/uber to robotaxis.
When people actually compare prices, they note that Chinese cars also have autopilot and cost less than half of a Tesla, new.
What's keeping Chinese brands out of the USA, isn't keeping them out of Europe or much of anywhere else.

This is completely false. Audi and Chevrolet both have self driving as good as Tesla.
This would literally only be said by a person who hasn’t tried fsd14 so do yourself a favor and go for a test ride of a Tesla and Audi/Chevrolet and report back. They are not comparable.
They sure as hell do not. SuperCruise only worked in pre mapped areas and bails whenever there's construction or deviation to plan. It's analogous to Tesla AP2 at best.
FSD works EVERYWHERE, almost any time.
