            It’s also miles ahead of most cars that have nothing more than lane keep assist that doesn’t work half the time.

              It’s okay, having used it myself I can say it is not worth the $15,000 a year they are asking for, you can buy a whole other car with that money, and that stays around after the year ends. There are several other car companies with generally functional autopilot software already on the road, including Waymo, and typical car companies like:

              GM – (Select GMC and Cadillac vehicles, Chevy Bolt, etc.)

              Audi (A6, A8, and more)

              BMW (X5, 3 Series and more)

              Ford / Lincoln (Mustang Mach-E, Ford F-150)

              Kia / Hyundai (Telluride, Palisade, Sonata)

              Mercedes Benz (S-Class, E-Class, and more). Level 3 in 2024

              Volvo (XC90, XC60, XC40)

              Nissan (Rogue, Leaf, etc.)

              Infiniti (QX50)

              Note that these are typically less expensive than Tesla, with some like GM offering up to 85% cheaper pricing for the same technology.

              Why do you want to pay a yearly fee for something that does a shit job driving for you, anyway? You can be a shit driver for free anytime you want.
