We truly live in a world where facts are vastly inferior to marketing. Highway cruise control, lane changing, traffic light stop and assisted parking has been around long enough that you can get it in a $5k used car already. I'm surprised that they don't have a speed limit and sign detection, because that, too, has been around for a long time. So in effect, this is a "get feature parity with a cheap used car" upgrade. But nobody cares and the stock price rises anyway.
In a way, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Steve Jobs are quite similar. They perfected the reality distortion field and at least some people absolutely love them for it.

- fxtentacle 5y agoBMW 318 built after 2012, for example. It used to be fancy and expensive car but now 9 years later you can buy them in used for a good price.
- stryker7001 5y agothe people who are buying tesla's don't want a 9 year old car. You took some long farfetched comparison about 'feature parity, (oh except for these 2 big things) and then created a false argument. sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.
