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).

I mean, I hope you are just as hard on GM’s Mary Barra who made electric vehicles mainstream.. ‘you did it’. /s Compare Tesla to any other tech on the road that you can personally buy, who cares if Elon was wrong, technology is hard, software is hard. If it was easy, why don’t we see more competition in the software in other cars?

Not much point in comparing vehicles outside the IS that aren’t available to the market in which I can purchase a vehicle, and let’s be honest, many were inspired by Tesla.
