No, but it won't be an issue in SC. No sales or service here.
There is one person near me that owns two. A model S for his wife, he has an X. He also has a charging station in front of the company he and his wife run. I have talked with him once, but didn't ask if he bought them in Charlotte or Atlanta |
Maybe, I guess? I wouldn't want to be one of the first, but if they perform well over time, I could see myself trying it out.

I'd give that a less than 1% chance of happening. Typical Musk hype. And if it does, it will be something super constrained- like a trial for Tesla employees only that will shuttle them between 2 buildings in Nevada or something.

And maybe it is just because I am getting old, but I don't see driver-less vehicles working at all with our current infrastructure.
I have written a lot of machine programming, and in my mind it is a all or nothing deal. I have written many robot-human interfaces, and no matter how many safety interlocks I have written or worked with someone always manages to try to bypass one or two and someone gets hurt. (or at least, in trouble) I don't know if 5G is the answer, but I feel that if EVERY vehicle was operating as driverless it would work, and it would solve a lot of traffic problems. But I don't want to live (or drive) in a world where there is a percentage of driver and driverless vehicles |
I guess I'm a beta tester for this functionality required by this service.
I've been using Navigate on Autopilot for a few weeks now. Its only avail on freeways (starting on the on ramp, ending as you exit). Overall it works amazingly well. I am required to keep some pressure on the wheel -- its not hands free. But the car is making all decisions about which lane to be in and moves over in time to take an exit. This morning, I was in stop-and-go traffic, and needed to get over one lane to exit -- and that lane was solid cars. It slowed down in my lane (with nobody ahead of me), signaled, and found its way into the first gap it found... |
Next year, um, sure...
