    i hadn’t ever thought about how the headlights having space between themselves on cars really helped judge how far a vehicle was and how fast it is moving toward me.

    that is nigh impossible to judge with the teslas with the unibrow lights when moving in the dark.

    I work as a valet driver and the Tesla - unlike any other car including the newer EVs from other brands - seems like it was designed by people who have never driven a car. Ever.

    Call me crazy but having nearly all the controls in a stupid idiotic touch screen where you have to scroll through multiple menus for basic car settings is a terrible idea. And so is braking by letting off the gas.

    And the people who buy them tend to be a certain kind of person… not the brightest

    But all they did was market their pretty good lane-assist and automated braking as a magic butler that lets you nap in the driver’s seat.

    How could this happen??

        It shouldn’t be called “full self driving” unless the company is going to cover the collision part of my insurance.
