I agree 100% with Gibson's observations about the capabilities and behaviors of AP2, especially as it compares to AP1. And I am not angry with Tesla as Oktane is. I, in fact, love the company and am known as an evangelist among my friends. And I have a gain in the stock, which ain't too shabby. Elon's decision to dump MobileEye and write their own software for the 21 sensor cars could have been handled better, especially as it pertained to what their salesmen were told to promise for the new cars. Mine promised better AP because of the sensors and I haven't gotten that yet. I can tell you that auto parallel parking is awesome, incredibly accurate and highly reproducible. I am using auto summon when I want to impress visitors or my neighbors, and that works perfectly. The AP1 demo I got when I bought the AP2 car included auto perpendicular parking, in a parking lot, and the demo was very good...but AP2 has yet to bring us that, and the windshield wipers rain sensing isn't working...I think that's all we're missing now. I fundamentally think AP2 is in beta, but getting better....but I'm leasing the car, and don't think I should be paying for the $5000 package that enabled AP. Heck, they even had another package which I didn't buy that will allow some other aspect to autopilot, I think point to point navigation, which may not be available for years. Selling that - just ain't right.
