My P85DL is a great car that I would still have bought if no autopilot was offered. With that said, requiring that hands be always on the wheel would cut my use of AP to situations where I briefly wanted to do something distracting like check a map or place a call. I would keep one hand on the wheel and use the other to perform the task. After that I would turn AP back off. I've been a user of AP since it was introduced, and for me at least, using it for an extended stretch with hands on the wheel is worse than pointless. I say "worse" because I steer a little differently than it does, so that when I've tried it with hands on the wheel I end up fighting it. The result is that it ends up disengaging after a fairly short time. I believe that for safety's sake a car should only have one source of steering inputs at any given time, and when my hands are on the wheel (except for the brief exception mentioned above) I want it to be me.

Would this be a deal breaker?
Don't your arms get tired....hovering over the steering wheel at 5 and 7?Hands always on the steering wheel here. Keep it at 5 & 7 o'clock to rest the arms and shoulders (and natural weight of my arms on the wheel at that position probably prevents nags, never gotten one). I move it to 3 & 9 when things start looking dicey. I'm still the one driving.

There is absolutely no way Tesla is going to go backwards concerning cowbells and technology.Many of us bought our MS with no autopilot or TACC enabled. Now that I've had it for a while, it would be very hard to go back. I hope the bed wetters and hand wringers don't prevail and that science and facts overrule emotion and ignorance.
