I'm curious how Tesla drivers feel about doing the zipper merge when the number of lanes reduces, in heavy traffic:
Do you merge late, choosing whichever lane is clearest until one of the lanes ends?
Or do you merge early and fume about the drivers who continue down the lane that will end, if it is clear?
A related issue concerns turning at an intersection onto a road with two or more lanes, in heavy traffic:
Do you turn left into the leftmost lane, or right into the rightmost lane, and merge to change lanes only later, after completing the turn?
Or do you attempt to change lanes as you are making the turn, cutting off cars turning onto the same road from the other direction?
