First time Tesla owner and recently had opportunity to experience their full self drive feature. My findings:
1. When it works it’s just great. From maintaining lanes, speed limit, distance to other cars, auto park and summon are delightful.
2. Auto park in home garage is a bit too slow to use. But parallel parking is cool.
3. Even without a radar it worked on most roads and different lighting conditions.
4. Random speeding/ slowing is definitely present. Not like jamming into the vehicle in front of you but sudden acceleration can surprise. More dangerous was random slowing down at traffic signal, even when green and at traffic circles.
5. Overall it’s definitely good enough to show promise of self driving. They are not there yet but I would place them as one of the most advanced considering the range of functionality.
6. Still the $15k is simply way too much. You are better off with occasional $200 per month like when going on a long trip.

I still haven’t been able to digest how Tesla can have beta testers pay them vast amounts of dollars for improving their product, without the ability to even opt out of omnipresent and opaque data collection… For a safety critical product that the company rejects liability for. The old trope “you’re the product” is not enough to do justice to this bizarre situation. It’s like the peak Apple fanboyism a la 2010, but on meth.
