Shouldn't be a big deal: Why would anyone still buy a Tesla at this point? If someone is going to buy a car they probably don't want something with garbage build quality and shitty support.

Those Volvos are looking kinda good though...

Sorry, I know this is controversial and I'll probably get down voted to hell, but I love my model Y Tesla and I think the full self driving is amazing (I didn't pay for it, there's a free trial this month). Musk is an idiot and an asshole but there's a lot more people working at Tesla that made some amazing vehicles.

That thing you have a free trial for just comes as standard in other cars at that price...

[–] Dr_Nik@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm not aware, what car comes standard with that?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

BMW

Lexus

Toyota

Cadillac

Genesis

Land Rover

Some of them are options, but none of them are subscription.

Those are brands, not specific cars, and to my knowledge BMW is the only car that offers a level 3 option. Tesla has level 2 as standard (known as autopilot).

I'm not going to spend hours researching a Lemmy post. These are the brands that offer level 2 driving features that Tesla offers.

Sooo I don't get your point. They do the same thing as Tesla does standard too?

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You are misinformed. Tesla AP (highway ADAS) is standard. OP is talking about the recent FSD trial which is beyond what any other manufacturer offers as standard.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm really not, I looked it all up. Unless Tesla made the jump to level 3.
