> Sometimes I wonder if Tesla has done a disservice to electric cars by making them so computerized and throwing in features nobody really asked for, like like self-driving and drive-by-wire controls. Teslas aren't drive-by-wire. The steering column and brakes are 100% conventional controls. Only the accelerator pedal is electronic, but that's true of basically all hybrids too. As far as "too many features"... That's the kind of argument that only works in the abstract. Name any one weird feature that "no one" uses and you'll discover that a bunch of people love it. Tesla's features work. I mean, sure, there are bugs here and there, but it's in general an extremely smooth software experience. It's not Tesla's fault that GM and VW can't ship bug-free equivalents.
