    Grandpa can turn cruise control on in any 20 year old car and take a nap, but everyone’s fine with that. Meanwhile Tesla issues a software update to marginally improve their camera and torque based driver monitoring system that can literally tell if you’re not looking at the road, and everyone loses their minds.

    JD power is paid for those ‘reports’ by the auto companies.

    Toyota blatantly disregarded complaints about unintended acceleration but they’re still considered great cars. https://www.autosafety.org/major-recalls-toyota-sudden-acceleration/

    I get the Musk hate, but honestly his attachment to the company is probably the worst part of Tesla.

      And the doors not closing because of poor build quality? Or the doors needing power to unlock (unless you reach under the seat? Or the touchscreen needed to reverse?

      Literally no other cars have these problems. Are you going to try to explain away each one? You’ll be here all day.
