Tesla doesn’t care what you (the individual) want. They care about increasing the size of their addressable market (elderly folks who can’t drive don’t buy cars - but they might if the cars could drive themselves). They care about driving up the average transaction price (not everyone spends every penny they can on their car - but they might if they could sleep in it while commuting/roadtripping). They care about creating recurring revenue sources. Once you buy a traditional car that’s that. But if your car gets rented out as a robotaxi on Tesla’s network, then Tesla gets a cut. I agree though. At the moment I’d rather just have a solid car with good adaptive cruise control.
