Agree. After a few weeks with the new model s, the old autopilot was much more refined. Tesla is not yet at mobileye level, but it is close.
I find opinions on Tesla funny, because many people jump on band wagons, and then their opinion falls in line with those of others. In this thread many people are saying AP1 is still better than AP2+, but the vast majority of opinions and objective analysis shows that AP2 is and has been ahead of AP1 for the best part of a year. The only deficits appear to have been addressed in V9 with the dash iconography.
The same thing happened with with the notion that Tesla interiors are somehow inferior to the equivalent German cars. Having spent considerable time in an E class (previous and current model), the Tesla S has a much nicer interior than the stock E class interior. It has better leather (on the pre vegan leather cars), identical wood, the same switch gear as the W212, a much better sun roof, alcantara roof linings and a pleather appointments on the dash, doors and armrests. To match the Model S interior on an E class, you have to spring for the designo package, which runs close to $20k. That's ignoring the electronics which are vastly superior on the Tesla. But the overwhelming opinion on the internet will tell you that the E class has a better interior. The stock interior on the E class is horrible, and the leather feels like it has rigor mortis.
Panel gaps is another bandwagon that people jumped on. Sure Tesla has panel gaps on some cars. But so do Jags, so do many American made cars. It's better on Mercedes, but its rarely terrible on Teslas anymore.
