I have been buying Honda Accords for about the past 20 years or so. My first car was a 1960’s Rambler that I could actually work on myself but those days are gone. Curiously enough, my second car was a Pontiac Astre that spontaneously erupted overnight and burned to a slab of molten metal.
This spring I decided that Tesla had essentially solved door to door autonomous driving, which definitely intrigued me so this summer I took the plunge and got a ModelY Tesla. I don’t care about carbon credits, saving more trees or anything else. A car is just a mode for transportation to me. Even without the tax credit you can get a base Model Y for the same price as a top of the line Accord which I think is as a reasonable comparison for look and feel as you can get these days. After 6 months and 2 long distance road trips I am not going back. FSD, Tesla’s essentially hands free driving, is a game changer. I’m not sure when or if it will ever be truly able to let you sleep and drive at the same time, but I could go on and on about just that benefit alone. That does cost me extra but I think it is worth it for door to door coverage. Range and charging stations for out of town trips is a non issue. In fact, I spent more total time gassing up my Accord than I do charging my Tesla.
You shouldn't be on the road then. You're willing to risk others lives for your convenience.
