It's nicer than I thought it would be actually. Like doing a 4 hour drive before, I'd feel tired (driver fatigue), now it just goes super quick and no driver fatigue. That's not to say it's not fun to drive yourself. I tend to just use the self-driving on the freeway where it's long and boring.
I can see that. My son lives several hours away and when we go to visit, there's a long, fairly quiet stretch after we pass Toronto, Ontario where I tend to use Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist a lot. If I had true self driving tech, that's the kind of drive where I would use it.
My wife has a Model 3. I don't like that I need to touch the steering wheel every 30 seconds.
It wasn't like that when autopilot came out. Some idots abused that features and got into fatal crashes so Tesla has to clamp down on it to make sure everyone is paying attention.
You just need to apply sight pressure.
Actually, the Korean electrics are what I have my eye on. The Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro EVs are a good form factor, range, etc. for what I would need in an electric, just driving to work (14km each way) and shopping.
I've driven an electric Nissan Leaf since 2011. I never want to own a gas car again. Driving EV is so nice. Instant acceleration and completely quiet with NO maintenance. Seriously. Only thing I've done in 9 years is replace cabin filter, wipers, and rotate tires.
This is a complete misnomer. I've rarely EVER had to use a charging station. Maybe once a month of that. You leave your house every day with a "full tank of gas" when you charge at home.
Model S owner right from the beginning. Early adopter, helped Tesla to get where it is now. Already driving second one, over 320 000 km combined.
