"To reach those massive numbers, a person must assume that an FSD-enabled Tesla replaces every single vehicle on United States roads".....which is exactly what tesla stated. Nothing absurd about it. Stop with these tesla hit pieces. Recently BYD published similar figures no one made noise then

Well, we don't know which kind of analysis have made those 4 countries give their approval.

But, at least Tesla has every reason to be worried. The younger and older car manufacturers of China have self driving features in use in their cars every day in every day traffic. Certainly, there is a difference between full self driving and self driving under supervision of the driver. Still, the needed intervention is minimal if needed at all. Plus the fully self driving taxis in many chinese cities.

The real flaw is that Elon Musk can buy many votes and so-called (self called) experts to accept his figures.
