You are mistaken.
Yes the eyesight disengages if you're stopped for more than about 2 seconds (will acknowledge it's annoying), but you can restart it at the touch of a button even from a stand still. This might be a recent change.
That car and driver review doesn't fully explain the features.
I'm sure the Tesla is a bit nicer and more autopilotey, but it will cost you 70-80k MORE out the door which is the point. Eyesight gets you 80-90% there. The tech is otherwise similar features wise.
If anything what you could argue is that the Tesla can get you on the freeway on its own which is pretty cool. Can it do that?
- vvanders 10y agoHow many times are you pressing that button in 40 minutes of rush hour traffic? That to me is where Tesla's AP really shines, 70mph AP is nifty but not nearly as useful. I was just commenting since we've owned both systems, if you haven't had a chance to give Tesla's a spin they are happy to do free test-drives, on paper they look similar but in execution I found Tesla's to be miles ahead(and constantly improving). That extra 60k also gets you some really acceptable 0-60 times :).
- temp246810 10y agoIt's more than 60k all in when I looked into getting. You'd be surprised, during most drives home I only have to hit it 2-3 times. Listen, I'm not trying to argue that my Forester is nicer than your Tesla. By no means is that the case. My comment was more to point out that the tech is a lot more common than people think.
