We were on our way from Saint Julian en Genevoise SCs to the Chalon Sur SC and it was around 120 miles. On the map most of the roads looked straight and also most of them were three lanes for around 80miles. Thought it is good to try AP for my own sake and see how it performs in France compared to UK. I am sure AP haters / Elon haters on this forum may not agree but it was amazing to drive on those roads with very minimal driver input. It was so relaxed. The AP alert came up twice in those 80 miles. Other than that I could have even worked on my iPad (I didn’t) it was so smooth on those amazing roads.
I understand UK roads will never reach that kind of perfection both in terms of surface and traffic, so if people hate AP and never going to do long road trips in France or other parts of Europe with such good roads then better to switch to other cars than just blaming Tesla and their implementation of AP. AP works but may never work in UK with the level of traffic and uneven roads with so many bends.
Tesla suits very well for its target market unfortunately UK is not one of those countries. Just like absence of stalks - it works very well in their target markets even without it but not in UK.
But an amazing car to do such long trips and still feeling fresh after 8hrs driving.
