I guess what I'm saying is that as a Tesla owner I don't find this video representative of normal use - in general FSD is very good. The other video on the other hand is much better than my experience of everyday use. Best case o

If it were safe to fly the Max in the US, and the problem were the pilots, it would be in the air now. It isn't, as the problem is clearly with the plane. It was likely just a matter of time before another Max fell out of the sky somew
