re: product. Yea. Known issues with trim, body alignment, etc. Where it really counts tho, drivetrain, range, a computer system that feels a hundred years ahead of any other car tho.

re: auto-pilot. My recent car purchase was almost solely on picking the best autopilot. Current day, short of the Super Cruise nothing compares. I read a lot of "it doesn't actually drive itself" but as of the last few months it literally goes onramp to offramp, handling all the merges and lane changes with zero intervention reliably. It's remarkable. I don't expect anyone is close to complex traffic signals and urban driving regardless of platform.

I own a model S. Yours changes lanes without you telling it to? Yours exits the freeway without you telling it to?

Lane change can be configured to happen automatically with FSD in autopilot, I prefer the stick confirmation though.

Yes. Enters and exits freeway without intervention or confirmation. On a recent road trip there were several times where it exited one freeway, circled around, and merged onto another without any intervention at all.
