Beyond Driven
Separately, there are three likes that immediately come to mind:
1. TACC being worth the price of the car. While AP1 TACC remains more stable or confidence-boosting than AP2 TACC *so far*, either one combined with AS can provide a safer, more relaxed and therefore more enjoyable driving experience. It allows more ground to be covered, if that's the goal for the day, or for more sanity while schlepping home during the evening commute. I think nowadays my head would explode if I had to drive 25 miles home from a meeting at rush hour (actually there's nothing rush about it, and it can easily be 2 hours, thankyewverymuch) - without TACC.
2. Feeling refreshed after driving all day and then some. It sounds crazy to a non-Tesla owner, but we know how it is. I won't post the longest 4-figure legs I've done due to whatever necessity or curiosity existed at the time, but there's something to be said for the *methodology* that Tesla has enabled via their, imo, greatest competitive advantage for now - that being the global infrastructure/SC network.
3. The absence of clutter in the earlier AP1 RWD models. Having that full-sized frunk and microwave, and custom-fit microwave luggage, and yacht floor... that was really nice - almost unicorn nice. More cargo capacity than my friend's BMW X5 SUV, too. Not that I remind him of this occasionally. Not a fan of the microfrunk, nor of the center console.
I hope to like in the future: massaging seats, an in-car hotspot, 360-degree view with built-in dashcam/cloud functionality including the ability to download specific minutes of video, glass breakage detection, a more secure frunk, and of course...
... an optional *built-in* espresso maker.
We are civilized people, after all.
