>The innovation and risk taking mainly seems to consist of cutting corners at the expense of the customer experience. To give a few examples of this: * Wheel stalks are steadily being replaced by touch screen controls, which is less usable and safe. * For gear changes, the choice seems to be between touch screen buttons and manual buttons located on the ceiling, in an unit that appears to be attached literally by duct tape. > The 48V architecture is going to lead to a much more reliable and efficient wiring loom Whatever it may be "going to lead" to, right now, the electrical system in Cybertrucks is massively LESS reliable than the competition, with countless anecdotes of red screens popping up practically before the truck is off the dealer lot. > that cost goes back to the customer in the form of savings or that money can be spent elsewhere such as a better interior. Or, as seems to be the case with Tesla, it stays with the manufacturer, as Cybertrucks are both massively more expensive than initially announced, and equipped with a rather spartan, not to say shabby, interior. > Have you tried these systems? I have a fairly new car, equipped with adaptive cruise control and blind spot warnings. With these, I can easily and confidently do my own lane changes, especially on highways. > in regards to auto driving, the autopilot on the Tesla is miles ahead of the competition That's not what other testers have found: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/28/how-tesla-bmw-ford-gm-and-mercedes-driver-assist-systems-compare/ https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/28/how-tesla-bmw-ford-gm-and-... > Tesla's crime is that sometimes they try too hard. I would argue that they oversell the abilities of their system (they used to claim that “The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”), to entice users into using it outside the conditions at which it is reliable. And they assume absolutely no liability for use under any conditions.
