No, at least not for me: My plan is buying the Model 3 and then engaging the autopilot in such a case - and just travel behind whoever is driving with 130 km/h in front of me.

So for me - a reliable autopilot for the Autobahn is much more important than the top speed.

My reply has been downvoted to oblivion. Let me try again.

1. Tesla autopilot has a disengage rate of 182 in 550 miles. This cannot be safe in anyway for any kind of driving http://blog.caranddriver.com/in-the-self-driving-race-waymo-...

2. Apart from the fatalities there have been many other accidents with Tesla https://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-tes...

4. Check YouTube for any number of autopilot crashes

Do you want to die?! Do not use the Tesla autopilot unless you are in a medical emergency and cant operate the vehicle.
