🇺🇸🇩🇪 TESLA JUST LAUNCHED FSD RIDE-ALONGS ACROSS 10 GERMAN CITIES - WHILE GERMAN AUTOMAKERS PRETEND SOFTWARE ISN'T EATING THEIR LUNCH Germany woke up this December to find Elon carpet-bombing the entire country with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) ride-alongs, turning every major metro into a rolling A/B test for autonomy. Berlin, Munich (twice), Hamburg, Hannover, Stuttgart, Gießen, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf - December 1 to 31, 2025: an entire nation turned into Tesla’s neural-network playground.
