RE: Tesla's Full Self-Driving is Finally Out of Beta! My First Impressions...
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I feel like we have different Teslas where I am. I've ridden them a couple of times as uber-type service, and they just feel super tacky inside compared to pretty much every other regular car i've taxi'd in. It feels somehow badly put together just as the immediate impression sitting down, which is weird cause I was super excited to get in the first time, though i'd be traveling into the future but... wasn't.
That being said, I think self driving is only US right? Europe certainly has legislated against it. Without that, its just a cheaply put together electric car, of which half the roads where I am is littered way far superior cars you've never heard of XD. I'm talking better feel inside and style, but also significantly superior touch panel thingy with representative models of the traffic and surrounding people
Really? They say the ones made in Giga Shanghai are usually better quality than the Teslas made elsewhere. That said, I've heard that some people just get poorly made cars. I've been lucky with mine, two years in there are no rattles and I've had zero issues whatsoever. The interiors are extremely minimalistic, especially the 3 and Y. That was hard for me to get used to, even coming from a 2016 Toyota Prius (which I loved). From what I understand the newly designed (Highland) Model 3 has a much higher build quality that's more on par with a luxury car.
Yes, FSD is only available in North America at the moment. I think China will get it before Europe though. The EU is putting up some pretty major roadblocks to its release there.
I imagine China will allow it for Chinese brands first. Teslas are all over the place here but there's still a sense of skepticism and nationalism that is probably gonna hold it back.
Yeah the minimalism is a big part of it I think. As soon as I got in I'm like... where's all the gadgets and luxury? In hindsight it looks like the vast majority are indeed model 3's.
Well, I'm closer to 40 than 30 and I never did learn to drive. Maybe I will just miss that boat entirely and just have the car do it for me if I can hold out a few more years... lessons in England are like $100+ a pop!
I can see how it will probably play out that way. I think FSD is nearing rollout in China (maybe in the next year?). I read an article today about how Tesla has begun mapping out Chinese cities with cars fitted with Lidar. This is how it initially "trains" the FSD for the first wave of use.
Yeah, sparse is a good way to describe the Model 3/Y interiors. The S and X models have more luxury.
That would actually be awesome not to have the expense and complications of a car. If you would ever want to learn you'd probably pick it up quickly.
