1. Tesla is not competitive with Waymo, they're not even in the same class. Waymo is 10 years ahead at least. I understand you can't buy a Waymo, but still.

2. Other car companies are properly valued, Tesla is overinflated.

3. Other cars, even basic Hondas, have the same level of self driving as Teslas.

4. Other car companies don't lie to their customers about their capabilities or what they're buying.

This is not true at all. Don't confuse lane assist with self driving. And yes I'm aware people are upset by the "Autopilot" product name they chose for lane assist.
