The Polestar 3 version of this platform is more to my liking. No need for the additional row of seats. Unfortunately the wife will kill me after buying an R1T this year.

Neither of your options are EVs, so you already are paying a premium on the tech.

The Trolley Problem... that’s my reason for not trusting AI to drive me anywhere. Add in I bought an EV to have a little fun jamming the pedal to the floor and momentarily get pushed back into my seat! FSD isn’t going to voluntarily do that...
