Actual self driving is a ways away but all the creature comforts like adaptive cruise control and lane centering assist are huge benefits for driving long distances. At first I thought they were just gimmicks, but once I got used to them I realized that they make long highway drives far more relaxing.
Very often, Elon is overly optimistic about his time estimate to bring the product to market. But they all eventually do.
I've been driving with FSD V12 lately almost exclusively, as in I set it in as soon as I get out of the gate. And it has been working extremely well. So human-like that it often surprises me. And it's that good that I no longer care to drive unless I feel like it.
The other day, it was getting to a traffic light, it turned yellow, it started applying a bit of brake, and when it realized it'd have to hard-brake to come to a stop, it started accelerating to beat the yellow light. I was in shock. As it's a behavior I often see on humans and something I'd do myself, but I didn't expect it from a machine. I'm guessing that the machine learning from all the data that Tesla collected, it told FSD, this would be the most logical maneuver.

I wonder if Tesla will be able to replicate the human behaviour of seeing a car wanting to make a left turn at the yellow and anticipating the risk and stopping.

It says, 'good battery health' ... I mean even for an uber vehicle ... run it to the ground? How much life is left in this thing?
If it's got the old unlimited supercharging, you might be able to make the money back assuming you can have some Tesla mechanic or 3rd party pros to make sure the drive train is still good. The old unlimited SCing was truly unlimited and fully transferable. You can use it commercially if so desired. Nothing like a soft limit or "fair usage" they implemented to later version.
An acquaintance in TO did just that. He hunted down 3 Tesla (2 MX, 1 MS) and hired 4 other people to drive with him almost 24/7. He was doing Uber until he got a contract to transport staff between Toronto and Montreal regularly. He made a killing as the companies were paying him rates based on gas cars. And he was paying nothing other than driver's wage.

You can choose between chill/average/assertive modes for fsd, assertive being the most aggressive.
I sent that video above to my friend who just bought a Model X Plaid... he was so upset, told me he thumbs downed the video hahaha
Then he said that it's true, the tires are cambered heavily and wear super fast even on the X. Also that he's likely to lose $40k+ on his purchase in the first year.
Asked him if the thumbs down was actually for himself... left on read lolol
So how do Hehe and other Tesla fanboys respond to that video?
Only Plaids have to change tires every 7500 kms? Do plain old regular Model 3's have that burning through tires problem? The way guy described it, it easily makes up for the difference in gas savings if you have to buy a set of tires every 6-9 months!

Factory alignment is really bad across diff models. Inner rear tire wear issue is common on the X and 3.
Factory tires... Hankook Kinergy GT, Procontact RX, Eagle Touring, Eagle F1 Asymmetric all kinda ass tbh.
Performance models get Sport Cup 2 (M3P) and Pilot Sport 4S (S Plaid).
This is interesting… he’s using all the wrong terminology which doesn’t help with the confusion around what happened to his vehicle... but having studs (he said bolts) loose and back in to the hub (disc in his words) is fucked up. The bottom right one looks like it's about to fall into the hub too lol
Gosh the guy in that video sounds like an annoying cry-baby, esp about the part on "depreciation". Any sensible adult with some real world experience should have known what an early adopter tax is, and the "depreciation" he speaks of is exactly that. You want to play with the latest and greatest tech toys? Well guess what? You gotta pay to play.
The camber / excessive tire wear issue is a sign of how sloppy Tesla's mechanical / automotive engineering is on their cars, and that doesn't surprise me. Still, for any respectable car guy, they should have know how and where to look for a fix to address the excessive camber, and the guy finally did about a month ago -- after owning the car for a few years.
Also, for all the talk of excessive camber, I am really disappointed that no actual measured amount has been mentioned. Did the car come with over -3º of camber from the factory? -2º? -1º? Without knowing what the factory specification (range) was, and without knowing how much camber the car was actually running on, it doesn't seem to useful to to gauge how serious the problem is.

Erh, I have over 10k on the plaid already and tires are.... fine?
I just did a Lincoln penny test and it's still almost about nose level.
Unless I was doing 0-100 all the time, I don't think it's that bad. Yes, I do floor it from time to time, but it usually last half a second if that.
