    We bought a Tesla 6+ years ago, and my husband (bless him for being brilliant) called exactly this and we didn’t purchase the full self-driving package. Honestly I hate the autopilot anyway and have posted before about a bad experience with it. No way in hell would I allow it to self-drive. Maybe I have control issues but nothing they’ve done recently inspires any confidence.

    My daughter asks me to put on rainbow road, but I can’t because it would force me to use autopilot. No thanks. Sorry kiddo, no rainbows and Blue Oyster Cult. (Well, she can have BOC via Spotify.)

      I’ve driven a Tesla, I don’t own it, but the autopilot stuff kinda scared me. Braked a lot later than I thought and I felt uneasy the entire time.

        Simple things like braking at the right time when a light is coming up are still not fixed. After like 7 years. I don’t expect to ever see FSD from this company.
