Proper test target? Let me make sure that anything I'm about to hit falls into that category. Tesla's active safety features simply do not work as well as most cars.

All the other cars would have failed in the same way for the same test target. You are still wrong. There are limitations in the system, but they are the same for all cars.

I'm kind of the same way with AP1, actually. Nice to have when I want it though (which is still a lot).

You missed the point. Did you even look at the videos? Only the Tesla video linked in the quoted post used a cardboard box as a test target. All of the other cars would "fail" in that test too.
The systems are designed to avoid/reduce damage from hitting cars and pedestrians, not cardboard boxes.
And the whole basis of the scientific method is repeatable tests so that different systems can be consistently compared. The post quoted completely misses that.

Pole located here Will you buy Enhanced Autopilot on your 3 at purchase?I'd maybe buy it for $1k. $5k? Forget about it. Iceland is a terrible environment for EAP. That particular combination of "situations that make things hard for EAP" and "mistakes will kill you". And I'm not sure how much I'd trust it even in good conditions anyway.
BTW, if you really wanted to assess interest, you should have posted a poll

I'm fairly confident the $5K price tag won't stick, it's an early adopter price. Already Nissan has the Pro Pilot option on the new Leaf for only $2500 (and that's part of a bundle with some other items).

Hmmm....now AEB does not work.... Tesla Turns off Automatic Emergency Braking in Some Newer Models
Tesla Turns Off AEB In New Cars
On the bright side...they can fix w/o a recall and trip to the dealership...but...seems like they sold vehicles before SW is fully completed.

OK fine, so repeat the test with a human. 123 not it.

I won't be getting it at this time, an extra $5k for a feature that I won't be taking advantage of at all times is more than I can afford to add. Maybe some time down the road I'll pay the extra $1k to unlock it, especially if additional features continue to get added to it.
I'd rather get the standard with PUP than standard with EAP, for example.

I am not going to get EAP when I pick up my 3. Financially I don't have the budget, and I don't want to add extra $5k into my loan. Secondly, I enjoy driving and esp. it's a Tesla =). Yet, I don't rule out that one day I might add the EAP and FSD back into my 3 when I am tired of driving or not able to drive as much.
Doesn't matter how good a car drives when you're in stop and go traffic for 10 miles each way. EAP is going to save lives in all new ways if it can keep me from murdering someone.
It's been done:
And yes, they're idiots for trying that.
Wow that's crazy, I can't believe someone would actually try that. At least they didn't keep increasing the speed until the system failed.
