I think it's about setting proper expectations and I don't think Tesla has done a good job of doing so when it comes to this software. I realize it is a work in progress but many people expect the car to "full self drive" or at least be trustworthy and usable enough where buyers feel they are getting some value out of the package when spending this kind of money. Technically, a feature like Auto Park may be delivered but as you mentioned yourself it is slow and unreliable for perpendicular parking. So, if that is the case then you will typically not use the feature. If you can't trust the system to park how can you trust it to full self drive on a busy street?How people keep falsely claiming they're selling something that doesn't exist is mind boggling to me.
Especially when this factually untrue claim has been explicitly debunked repeatedly in this very thread.
6 of the 7 promised features of the current FSD package are in wide release, and have been for years.
The 7th exists, but is still in narrow-release beta testing. No shortage of videos out there showing owners testing it, so that it exists is self evident.
For me, FSD and all of the associated features need to work as good or better than I can do it myself or it just winds up being annoying and frustrating to use. If or when AI reliably works as good or better than I can do it myself then I will pay but nowhere near $12k since I enjoy driving. Until then I would happily beta test for free or even pay a $1000 and I would treat it as a hobby. But it would be just that, a hobby since I don't really care if the car can full self drive or not.
