    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    That's true, but I've been that route. It's literally a one dimensional phobia. Fly across the globe. No problem I will sleep. Ski lifts, gondolas, check... 60mph on a Jet Ski, no problem. It's just those damn freeways.

    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    I developed my anxiety later in life. In my 20's I ran in a really fast crowd, the whole Socal street racing scene and all. Lost a few friends in crashes and was in a minor crash myself. I drove a full framed 8 second Mustang pro-street back then and had a fully worked SVO Mustang for street...

    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    My phobia is pressure filled situations. My #1 problem is when freeways merge onto the LEFT Lane of another freeway with everyone going 80. Other than that, anxiety at 70+ and high speed congestion. Fwiw, bumper to bumper traffic at a snails pace doesn't bug me at all.

    I wonder if current Model 3 hardware supports Full Autonomous... Future-proof to get one now?

    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    Darn... I watched the Tesla video from May where a model 3 self navigated/drove... It was a really "sped-up" video released by Tesla. I wonder how close they are...

    Is my wait finally over? Tesla for people with highway phobia?

    I know 99.9% of you love to drive and the feeling of flying 85 down the freeway is fantastic. But some of us struggle to drive on highways, it's a fairly common phobia. For decades I've dreamed of the time when a car could whisk me down the 405 from LA to Orange County without me being the...
