Teslas really are not great cars

Pity that you ignored the actual substance of my post, so I’ll repeat it here:

That’s how Teslas have been described – “a computer with wheels”. And this is precisely what I strenuously object to. To be clear, I’d love to have a car where I can just get into it and say “take me to destination ‘x’” and it will do it flawlessly, and then park itself and wait for me.

But that’s not what we have today. We have cars that make half-assed attempts to do things for us that are sometimes badly flawed and downright counterproductive and unsafe, like the dangerous pretense of full self-driving that is anything but.
