I think what you're actually describing is the largely fan activist/toy (Yes, Tesla Autopilot is a toy) attitude that's common to a certain kind of Tesla owners. This is embarassing and needs to go so that responsible adults can buy EVs too.

Calling Autopilot a toy seems quite exaggerated to me.

I use Autopilot for ~80% of the miles I drive and I love it. I might think the same about Subaru or Cadillac or whatever if I had those, I'm not sure. But none of them are "toys".

They way they market it is the reason it's a toy. This is not a novel argument in any way.

In some circumstances it's a pretty good at L2 self driving. Until it isn't and it kills you if you don't pay attention.
