I bought one in spite of Musk, simply put the technology of the car and that it brought back memories as a kid of all the cool concept cars that never got built sold me. That is performs so well it just a bonus. I feel like I am driving the future day in and day out.

However I think that only does Musk misrepresent what the technology is capable of and the timeline I think that many quality of life features are missing simply because if he does not want it no one wants it; my bugaboo has been the poor support for bluetooth music from phones. It was only recently that a Tesla owner could select what track within a play list to play; they still cannot select the playlist, artist, and more, which are features common in every day cars and for many years.

I have no plans on giving up my Tesla soon, I am looking forward to the Audi BEV TT so I can put convertible and EV together. That is 2023 at the earliest. At least Tesla is forcing the hands of other automakers

PS: I would go so far as to state I believe the 8k cost they apply to full self driving is to convince people it really does what he claims. As in, it can only be so expensive because it must work. That 8k is also why I won't consider a new Telsa, originally I figured a Y would be nice

PPS: I am sure besides myself many of us have posted here and elsewhere that the name "Autopilot" implied far too much. Glad some court stepped in and said stop it

PPPS: Kind of fun a German court upheld this, considering all the years their own auto industry was committing outright fraud

> I think that only does Musk

I think you dropped a 'not' in there.

People using their childhood dreams as an excuse to be functional sociopaths doesn't cut it.

Are you a psychiatrist?

I'd prefer people are called out for the bad things they do rather than get called by this or that psychiatric diagnostic term.

Being diagnozed a sociopath is not a bad thing. Doing bad things is a bad thing, any psychiatric diagnosis or not.
