Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

[rinconryder]

You should go to a dealer and try it now. It is really, really good. I have had a Tesla since 2017 and currently have a 23 Model S with HW4 and started using FSD pretty much full time now. I wouldn't have spoken so highly of it a year ago but the development of the robotaxi program has really pushed the FSD software development as an added benefit to Tesla owners. It's not a coincidence that the improvement has been so rapid. That is what makes me hopeful for Rivian and their partnership with Uber to develop driverless technology. I refuse to use Autonomy+ as it stands now but I am on a 3 year lease on my R1T. If they get the FSD on par with current Tesla FSD I will buy it. If not, then I will probably be back in a Tesla.

That’s what the Tesla fanboys say every year, though, for every major release of FSD since v10.

I’ve had this conversation every year for four years.

I’m out.

I have a Waymo app for when I don't want to drive. I've used in zero times. I like to drive.

Never ever buy a product predicated on the promise of future software features.

I haven’t posted here in ages. But as a senior mod over at TMC, a 12+ year multiple Tesla owner, this one cracked me up.

I think you have some valid points, your 19” wheel complaint resonates with me as well, though I’m likely to get a set of 19s with winters mounted and I’ll run the 20s in summer.

But Tesla is built around promise. They met some of them so you’re able to jump into a Y now, but I’m still 100% trading my Y for a R2.

similar experience- Model S for 9 years until delivery of my R1S in '22 and I couldn't be happier about it. For people that want a car to drive itself, by all means stay with a Tesla, but if you like driving and like the outdoors the choice is a no brainer.

FSD is awesome but all I need is highway ADAS and Rivian gen2 delivers what I need. And Autonomy+ should get better.
