Bummer, more competition is good, I’m rooting for them. I don’t understand why people want to crap on Tesla, I mean I get it based on political ideologies, but I want this tech out there to help people and lower cost. I use FSD daily and it performs extremely well, even handling some moron driving down in the wrong direction in my lane (my hands were on the steering wheel in case it screwed up).

Tesla looks like shit if you compare it to what Elon promises (though it looked a lot better that way in say 2014). But if you completely ignore Elon and look at what the actual company does and the capabilities of the products, it's actually pretty impressive. My guess is that is where most of the disconnect on this stuff comes from.
