Tesla Model ≡ Thread

[rumatt]

A coworker got a model-3 (non performance) and wrote this as part of his review on an internal forum.

I didn't know driving them through walls was a problem.

The car really is many different cars. I can change it so that it goes into "chill" mode. I recommend someone when they first starts driving use that. It kills the instant acceleration that I mentioned is so exciting. But every time I get in and out of a parking space, I'm afraid I'm going to press the pedal just a bit too hard and suddenly ram into something. I haven't yet. Maybe sometime I'll get more confident that I won't slip up. But there are stories of people hitting their garage etc. and blaming the auto-pilot when they were to blame. Blaming the auto-pilot is wrong, but I can understand why with this car people might hit buildings more so than others. "Chill" mode makes sense. But I suspect getting used to chill and not-chill mode is hard.
