Overall the experience is smooth, comfortable and powerful. Without delving into special features the car runs very stable, smooth and fast. I need cruise control so I don’t get going too fast.
I do have a few critiques. I paid a lot for the self-driving. Frankly, it’s like a 16-year-old who’s nervous and uncertain. I drive mostly in country roads, generally with excellent lane marker lines. It hesitates at a turn, jerking the wheel back and forth. Someone in front of me turned on his right-turn signal and turned off into a normal side stopping place. The car slowed down suddenly, really for no reason. The person behind me almost hit me. At a complex stop light intersection, the car had no concept of not blocking the intersection. A 16-wheeler turned right towards me. The car behind me backed up. Self-driving had no concept of this. As long as you’re cruising along straight with little traffic it’s fine. Anything complicated and it’s confused and dangerous. For this I paid $12,000?
And the navigation is a joke. My Garmin is much better, telling me which lane to be in and giving me an image of the intersection. When I do travel to the city I’ll have to bring my Garmin. Inexcusable in a $62,000 car.
I got good support setting up my wall controller. I needed it as the instructions were impossibly minimal. Many other things I’ve struggled to understand, watching YouTube, etc. Can’t they provide full explanation and support?
Love my car but they have a long way to go to satisfy their claims. I think 20 years.
