Autopilot is Tesla’s name for it’s driver assistance system that helps keep the car in its lane on a highway. It is supposed to allow it to automatically avoid other cars, though it has had significant issues seeing stopped emergency vehicles on the side of the road. Tesla has said the system is designed to respond to moving vehicles, since reacting to non-moving objects could be dangerous. it can also change lanes while avoiding other cars.

pretty sure I could have won him that lawsuit considering he was up against famous lawyer Lin Wood

Imo the self-driving situation is the most likely destruction path of Tesla because a lot of the stock price is based on the Tesla as a technology company and completely whiffing the implementation of a core feature aint great. Besides the self driving, what else makes a Tesla special anyway? The giant Ipad screen? No HUD or gauge cluster??????

it can play cyberpunk 2077, which is something no honda can do

you can't play it while driving and the back seat passengers aren't gonna want to crane their necks to see the big screen and you don't want your front passenger taking away your music controls so you can realistically only play it in your garage but since when were tesla drivers concerned with the details

There's literally nothing at this point without that. Everyone else is offering better EV cars up, and even things that looked very touch and go for a bit, like Rivian and Lordstown, are delivering ahead of Tesla, and instead of being led by Musk, they're partnered with logistics and manufacturing giants respectively. That's before even getting into the regular car companies making vehicles now. Car reviewers are out here calling the GM Bolt EUV a better move than the Model 3 or Model Y barring (the soon to be open to everyone) charging network. At the upper end, everyone comments on how much nicer Cadillac's EV and Genesis' EV are for the price vs. an X or S. It's game over already, and every month of new car releases are only gonna make that worse, and instead of solving that being Musk's job 1, it's well after him chilling with bigots on his dying bird site.

What if you had an electric car but it wasn't built by any of those cringe car companies that have been building largely functional vehicles for decades and decades

The complete lack of fit and finish and artesanal software built on basically commodity hardware not meant to last more than half a decade at best are the killer features. Imagine none of the plastic in your interior lining up right, or your doors kinda shutting funny from day one, or your head unit crashing, because the car is still basically hand-built

I feel like we've heard about Musks' lawyers jumping ship for years and it never seems to matter, but I'm hoping for more LOLs this time.

Spiro didn't jump ship

he was fired

reportedly because Musk was just that mad at Twitter's former deputy counsel that he fired a few days ago

Musk is never going to be lawyerless, but every time he fires a lawyer for not being enough of a sycophantic yes-man, the replacement is going to be a worse lawyer

and more importantly, it doesn't matter how smart your lawyer is or how much you're paying them if you don't listen
