I drive a Tesla. I live in Connecticut, speed limits are set very low and are ignored by just about everybody Including police, as long as you're not driving recklessly.
The problem with the latest FSD versions is they take precise speed control out of the driver's hands. In previous versions, you could manually set a maximum speed. Now you cannot, you only pick one of these driving profiles.
So for example if I'm driving on a 55 mph highway, and all the other cars are doing 75 mph, I have to pick the 'Hurry' profile which also hangs out in the left lane and makes a lot of lane changes and faster acceleration/braking. I would much rather drive standard style but with higher speed, but that isn't an option.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm not saying this as an insult, I am simply stating a fact that you are completely and totally mistaken.
You are driving a nazi car.
Do you live in an alternate reality where Tesla employees didn’t get caught sharing camera footage from inside peoples garages and stuff just because they thought it was funny?
That was a very early version of their system, once that happened they put strong controls in place for the storage of video and it's now very easy to control what if any video and audio the car reports back to Tesla.
And when, ever in its history, has Tesla given you a reason to believe they aren’t just outright lying?
Every time my car gets an update and FSD gets better. Every time I get in my car and hit the FSD button.
Serious question- have you ever driven a Tesla? And if so for how long?
Yea it was fine but the driver assist wasn’t any better than my Honda and the turn signals were awful. I drove it for a few hours.
Curious when this was? And did it have FSD?
No, I drove it. Are there teslas that can drive without human supervision? This was about a year ago.
