Location: Norway. I haven't tried FSD, but I've used autopilot and cruise control. They don't inspire confidence, so I definitely wouldn't trust FSD, at least not currently.
When using autopilot on a single-lane road with a 60 km/h speed limit, it performed a phantom emergency brake because there was an oncoming car (which was driving normally in its own lane) on a curve. Maybe I shouldn't have used autopilot in that situation?
But what's even worse is the cruise control. It's a basic feature, yet Tesla's cruise control suddenly changed the speed limit to 30 km/h when passing through a tunnel with no signals and performed an emergency brake in an 80 km/h zone. This is incomprehensible.
Not to mention the issues with noisy brakes, distorted sound effects.
However, I don't want to switch to another car. I've driven Polestar 2, Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Nio ET5T, and none surpass Tesla. The only cars that make me consider switching are Lucid and Taycan, but they are in a different price range.
With Norway soon stopping the sale of all gasoline cars, Tesla is almost the only choice. I just hope they can improve on these basic issues.
- jahnu 2y agoWhat do the other manufacturers need to improve to match the Tesla for your needs?
- chaosprint 2y agoGood chassis, directional control, self-developed motor and battery life management. app experience and charging experience.
- jahnu 2y agoInteresting, thanks!
- jjtheblunt 2y agoYou didn't mention BMW.
- chaosprint 2y agoThe platform is mainly influenced by the gas era, lacks first-principle design, and the poor car-engine system makes me less interested.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoWhat? Nope. i3 famously and its successor iX are clean sheet expressly EV designs. i4 is also available as M430 ICE. i5 and i7 also are dual platforms but they follow original 2013 i3 clean sheet by about a decade.

Maybe I shouldn't have used autopilot in that situation? I would never use Autopilot with oncoming cars. FSD is fine with oncoming cars, though.
- MrZander 2y agoI drove a Polestar when I was in Norway and thought it was really nice, but I've never drove a Tesla before. What makes it better?
