# Ross Gerber Demands $10K Refund If Tesla's New FSD Doesn't Work 'Unsupervised'—Says Google Has 'Solved' Autonomy With Waymo
Investor Ross Gerber, co-founder of the wealth management firm Gerber Kawasaki, has recently taken to social media to voice his strong discontent with Tesla's latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. In a candid post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Gerber stated that if Tesla’s newest FSD update, version 14.3, fails to operate as promised without supervision, he believes customers should be entitled to a $10,000 refund. Gerber's comments come amid growing scrutiny of Tesla’s autonomous driving technology and highlight a broader conversation surrounding the competitive landscape of self-driving capabilities, particularly in relation to Google’s Waymo.
Background Context
Tesla has positioned its FSD software as one of the most advanced autonomous driving systems available, with the company charging customers approximately $10,000 for the feature. However, the technology has faced its fair share of skepticism and criticism. Gerber's call for refunds is based on the premise that consumers have been patient enough and have invested significant sums into what has been marketed as cutting-edge technology.
In his post, Gerber stated, “If Tesla FSD 14.3 doesn’t work unsupervised… we should all get our $10k back… we’ve waited long enough.” This statement underscores the growing impatience among consumers and investors alike regarding the milestones Tesla has set for its autonomous driving features. The introduction of FSD v14.3, which is anticipated to enhance the vehicle's self-driving capabilities, has been closely monitored, especially after previous updates that promised significant improvements.
