He will be driving more and considered best cost and least expense in his choice. they've had it less than a month.
My daughter drove it over today, so her sister could see it before she went home. We were treated to some silliness. There is something called a toy box. You can stand outside the car, and use your phone (or fob, realized I'm not sure) and the car will run through a sound,light and motion show. The lights flashed, the mirrors, windows, trunk and charge port moved to music. You can also program it to make fart noises for either interior or exterior speakers. I am left wondering if I'm listening to elon musk fart?
Anyway, sharing a feature of the tesla which might not be widely discussed

Oh, and I saw somewhere on the intertubes where someone was comparing the tesla logo to a thong in a butt crack. It was quite amusing.

Chances that software works perfectly are zero, and it's merely lives at risk.
A similar auto guru ...
Henry Ford was also a big Nazi sympathizer. Got a medal from the Fuhrer's staff. Yuck.

I try to keep in mind the original engineers who created tesla and not the guy who co-opted the technology and got rich off it. Also bastardized it into a fart machine.

I disagree technically on "camera only" guidance. I'd have lidar AND radar. Cameras are too too easy to fool and blind.
