I'm like 99% sure this comment is satirical, but that 1% uncertainty is bothering me.

It's satirical but also true. I have a tesla model y. I only use the autopilot feature to quickly take over when I'm going into the U/I to do something complicated... like adjusting the window wipers (buttons are too small for me to hit accurately at speed).

“complicated”

You have a physical wiper button on the stalk that brings up the UI without fail. One physical press.

And you can learn to adjust the UI for wipers with muscle memory since they always are in the same position by the closest corner after you just push the physical button once.

You can grasp the corner and press a remembered spot on the UI. The buttons don’t jump around. Maybe you won’t do this on day 1, granted, but you can do it.

It's pretty amazing how many Tesla drivers don't know this is a thing. There's even an icon on the stalk for it.

That said, Tesla is getting rid of stalks, so that's going away.

It’s probably moving to a button on the steering wheel. Or they’ll add more sensors for auto mode in cars without stalks, or both.

In Los Angeles, it's easy to tell when a Tesla is using AP or FSD: is the car driving erratically, like a drunk teenager on a learner's permit? If so, AP/FSD is engaged and one must avoid being within 100 yards of the vehicle, especially if you're driving a big rig, since Tesla's vision is still unable to identify big rigs.

Literally not true.

The hate brigade is still on Reddit.

Literally true, the number of Teslas getting into accidents in the LA area is legion; by automaker it's probably the single most represented car manufacturer in the Los Angeles area.
