>4. No Autopilot. This is a big sell for many EV users

Is it really? I'm looking at an EV for my next car, and not once have I considered Autopilots availability as a musthave feature. Then again, most people who get excited about Autopilot seem to think that driving is a chore that should be removed, while I love driving.



I love driving, but AP is also really useful on the highway and long stretches of road in general. Its a much bigger advantage than I expected, tbh.

Ford has something similar, but it fails more unexpectedly and often. Although, Tesla AP still has major phantom braking issues... sigh.


I like driving, but I don’t like bumper to bumper traffic. That’s where autopilot comes in handy.
