Autopilot and Full Self-Driving are terrible names given their capabilities and should have never been approved. No other car company uses such deceptive names for their active cruise control systems. Only smug enthusiasts and slimy lawyers will tell you those names are OK (“Autopilot is an aviation term and everyone…

I drove a 2023 and it needed a software update to enable cruise/“Autopilot”...! I also did not care for the screen position and total lack of basic line-of-sight gauge info like speed, turn signals, range, etc. There were some interesting features but overall I was not a fan of the overall experience.

I believe this is the clip you’re referring to. Senna deftly dancing an NSX around Suzuka in loafers:

The headlights in the fenders are a nice touch. I suppose its on purpose, but the camo makes it hard to see where the hood cut line connects between the fender and the grill.

I always thought it was held back for cost or reliability reasons.

While the U.S. did get the del Sol in Si trim — a droptop two-seater with 160 horsepower weighing just over 2,400 pounds sounds fun as hell — we didn’t get all the good stuff.

It looks like it was designed for GTA.

It’s Tesla’s version of “Trail Rated”.  Except more absurd.

Someone in a hurry would do that.

It is common for some luxury cars to have a Car Wash Mode.

Again, I will paste this straight from the Cybertruck website:

Washing in direct sunlight increases the chance of causing water spots. This is true of any painted body panel from any manufacturer, and probably especially true of the unpainted stainless body of the Cybertruck.

Funny you should mention “planet”. According to the Cybertruck website, it is:

Many dealerships DEPEND on totally incompetent people to walk through the door. I’ll bet you 8/10 people off the street would have been successfully diverted by the scummy salesman at some point in that exchange.

I cannot imagine what it was like buying an original Hyundai Genesis or Equus back in the day, before Genesis was a standalone brand with its own dealerships. It must have been weird signing for a luxury sedan in a showroom that contained a $19,999 Elantra.

I need something that can shove a little bit.

OK...?

I can see why they blacked out the wheels. Woof!

No pen? Open? N’open?  Nope? Make up your mind!
