And the first owners are noticing what didn't make it."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Full Self-Driving? On a 2020 Model X? I thought those older Intel cars were left behind."},{"host":"Chris","text":"They weren't left behind—they got the new lightweight version. But not all of it."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"What's missing?"},{"host":"Chris","text":"A Tesla owner named Badran Mosleh posted his first drive."},{"host":"Chris","text":"He shifts into drive, hits the button to engage. It still won't start from park like his Model Y."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"So the new software still needs a manual tap to go? That's not seamless."},{"host":"Chris","text":"It's a 2020 vehicle with Intel hardware. The fact it got the update at all is surprising."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Timely, yes. Generous? I'm not sure."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Tesla hasn't said if parking, reversing, or Smart Summon will ever come."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Owners say it's a huge improvement over the last version. Smooth speed control, less nagging."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"But the dashboard has a streak counter? Like a video game score for not touching the wheel?"},{"host":"Chris","text":"That's the part I like. Gamifying driver attention."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"It's a supervised system. Stop touching the wheel and the streak ends. That's the point."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Right. And the feature gap is the real story."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Older Model S and X owners paid for Full Self-Driving, but they're not getting the same features as a Model Y."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"That's exactly my problem! Tesla sold full self-driving capability for years on those cars."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Now the software arrives with a smaller menu, and no promise of the missing stuff."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Oh, come on. The Intel chip is older and slower. You want features the hardware can't run?"},{"host":"Matilda","text":"They didn't tell buyers that when they paid for the package. That's a consumer issue."},{"host":"Chris","text":"They also didn't know what the software would become. It's not fraud—it's hardware limits."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"I didn't say fraud. I said a missing promise. And a streak counter doesn't make up for no Smart Summon."},{"host":"Chris","text":"I'd rather have a safe, improved version than a buggy full feature set."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"You might. But if my Model S can't park itself while a Model 3 can, I'd be annoyed."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Teslanewswire reports the same update carries a newer build for latest hardware plus automatic collision evasion."},{"host":"Chris","text":"None of that runs on Intel computers."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"So they quietly segmented the fleet. New cars get more; old cars get a lite version."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Every car company does this with hardware generations. Your phone from five years ago misses features too."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Phones don't promise Full Self-Driving as a paid option."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Tesla calls it Supervised now! They've walked back the name because of cases like this."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"So now the name is honest. The feature gap? Still not explained."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Teslascope called it a vast improvement over the old version. I'll take that as a win for older cars."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"A win with an asterisk. And owners are still waiting for Tesla to say what's coming."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Fine. If I owned a 2020 Model X, I'd want a clearer roadmap. But I'd still install it."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Of course you'd install it. That doesn't mean we can't call out the gaps."},{"host":"Chris","text":"Different world entirely: Ford has restarted manufacturing in India, and the Endeavour rumors are back."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"That SUV has a cult following. People still argue about Endeavour versus Fortuner."},{"host":"Chris","text":"A post from Kabir Mehrotra asks if you'd choose the Endeavour over the Toyota Fortuner if Ford brought it back."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Here's the correction: Ford hasn't confirmed a domestic car launch timeline. No Endeavour comeback announcement."},{"host":"Chris","text":"I know. But the manufacturing revival is real. That's the first step."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"It's a step. It's also an old playbook—restart a plant, stir comeback rumors, don't confirm a car."},{"host":"Chris","text":"The Endeavour was the one genuinely good Ford for Indian roads. If they build it there again, it's a real rival."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Unless they price it like a luxury import and lose to Toyota again. Ford left for a reason."},{"host":"Chris","text":"They left because they stopped making money. Building locally could fix exactly that."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Could. But until Ford confirms it, we're arguing about a rumor on X."},{"host":"Chris","text":"That's the joy of car rumors."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"If it comes back, I want the diesel. You can keep the electric version."},{"host":"Chris","text":"You say that now. An Endeavour EV would outsell the diesel in three years."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Oh, here we go—"},{"host":"Chris","text":"No, really. India's electric SUV market is waking up. Ford would be late, but not too late."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"Except there is no Endeavour EV. There is no Endeavour at all. This is a tweet with question marks."},{"host":"Chris","text":"And yet we argued for fifteen lines. That's car culture for you."},{"host":"Matilda","text":"If Ford announces it, we'll do a real segment. Until then, it's a rumor with a factory attached."}]}
