I have one to watch my garage and one that points at my dog’s crate. The most action someone will see is my naked legs walking past the crate. Not really an issue to me either imo.

I have a 2023 Model 3 Performance that I got in February. No build issues, only problem is my wife curbed the rims (lol) which seems to be common as the rims extend past the tires and they are low profile. No comment on her parking abilities.

The speed and power is amazing, the car works well, and the software updates have been good.

Things to remember: -NACS is only available in Teslas at the moment and is becoming the new universal standard in EVs in North America - do you want to choose another vehicle and have to use adapters for supercharging? -Other people work at Tesla, not just Elon. Those people are not Elon and have families to feed. -Tesla mobile service will fix your car in your driveway or at work or wherever (some other companies offer this but not all of them) -If you have a dog, dog mode is the shit

Ok, counter point is this: https://electrek.co/2023/01/17/real-story-behind-tesla-staged-self-driving-video/

“The engineer added: “The intent of the video was not to accurately portray what was available for customers in 2016. It was to portray what was possible to build into the system.” Elluswamy also confirmed that the Autopilot team put the video together as a “demonstration of the system’s capabilities” at the request of Musk.”

I do remember that video and did not take it as an advertisement of what the product would do in 2016.

Can you provide an example? I genuinely haven’t seen that but I live a relatively advertisement-free lifestyle. As a Tesla owner, I’ve never heard that from anyone in real life either.

Autopilot is not FSD. I agree the advertising of FSD is poor, but the FSD you’re thinking of is in beta, opt-in only, and also tries to force you to pay attention.

This is FUD. You must pay attention at all times when using Autopilot, the car begs you to do so. Not paying attention is equivalent to setting cruise control in any other vehicle and closing your eyes.

Do you own a Tesla? Basic autopilot is merely lane keeping combined with automatic cruise control. The car begs you to pay attention when you turn it on. Would you turn on cruise control and then take a nap? It’s the same thing. Users of autopilot need to pay attention at all times.

That wouldn’t work very well on a plane without some sort of active noise cancellation
