Tesla has been overselling and under-delivering full self driving (FSD) for years since AP 2.0 was introduced. Self parking is pathetic and advanced summon is a joke. The lane keeping and adaptive cruise of autopilot are near perfect on the freeway, and okay off the freeway.
Then we have a comparison of OpenPilot to Tesla FSD and I see them being in the same ball park with either having pros/cons in the comparison. OpenPilot is working with one camera and anemic processing compared to all the sensors Tesla has along with their leading compute architecture. But, OpenPilot is only $1K! That gets me thinking that I have drunk too much Tesla kool-aide if I put down an extra 15% of the car cost on a feature that is snake oil.
Technology tends to get cheaper with time. Tesla has had their autopilot features in perma-beta for 5 years since they first started their snake oil salesmanship of amazing autopilot features on the horizon. I typically only own a car for a couple years and certainly not longer than the factory warranty so am unlikely to ever realize the promise of sleeping in the back seat while my car drives me to work.
Put down the Teslaquila (AKA Tesla kool-aide) and answer honestly.
