YouTube videos of FSD make it seem way better than it used to be (if they're real) and it's surprising that no one was paying attention until now.
There was an story a while back where it was discovered that Tesla focuses their efforts on the routes taken by creators (and other influencial people), to intentionally make self driving look better than it is.
I have it and it is legitimately a great driver aid. But you need to understand its limitations to use it safely. It's a really awkward place to live in, because I get an immense amount of value out of it, but I would not just throw my mother in the car and trust her to use it safely.
I'm considering buying one but lately I've been thinking about maybe getting a Mustang because the BlueCruise seems more honest. However, Ford doesn't seem super committed to electric and it's all hard to justify when my Honda just won't die.
Blue Cruise is legit as well though significantly more limited than FSD, and Ford is unlikely to push new updates the way Tesla does.
Absolutely a Mach E over a Tesla.
I suppose the ones where people die are never uploadet.
But other than that, feel free to judge on anecdotal data.
