Tesla’s value plunged nearly $200 billion since mid-July – and the EV maker faces a bumpy road ahead::Tesla shares closed Tuesday at just over $233, well down on their 2023 peak of $291.

Who else has hands free driving on local roads?

Mercedes for example - and it works better than Tesla’s on shitty roads.

Mercedes for example has two cars that just launched FSD this year. Vs Tesla who has 4 cars that can do autopilot for 3 years or more. Again I’m not trying to say Tesla is the best car, I’m trying to say they have differntiated features that few, if not any companies have had over the years, and yea that does not excuse their CEO from being a total douche.

Exactly. So many of the naysayers haven’t used fsd first hand, so they don’t know how close they are to solving a huge problem. And no one else is really even trying anymore. Ask a graduating senior in IT or robotics where they dream of working and it’s Tesla.

If you’re using FSD without your hands, you’re not doing what you’re explicitly supposed to be doing.

So basically you’re saying that so many of the naysayers haven’t used FSD the wrong (and dangerous) way.

I’m using drive assist without my feet, I can keep my pinky on the wheel and give it the slightest pressure every few minutes when prompted. This is a God send in stop and go city traffic. I used to have super high stress in traffic every day, now I let the Tesla do all the stop and go braking/keeping distance/keeping center and it’s way less stressful. I know other manufacturers have drive assist but I’ve driven my siblings BMWs Mercedes Maseratis Jaguars Land Rovers and (unless you’ve got a 2024 Mercedes) none of them are as easy to use as Tesla.

I fucking hate Elon musk by the way, and I’m not a Tesla fanboy, I they do a lot of anti consumer bullshit. I just think to over correct and say the cars have nothing better to offer vs competitors is disingenuous

Again, that’s not how you’re supposed to use it.

Again, that still differentiates this company vs any other car. The entire argument we’re having is that they don’t do anything different than anyone else.
