. Oh to be 40 years younger
So one of the main reasons I wanted one was because it removed a lot of the anxiety of an MOT and service. I hate taking the car in and not knowing whether it would cost £200/£300/£400/£500. No one has mentioned the servicing costs - so are they reduced for Tesla's or are the about the same?
Some people will see the quirks and quibbles as disasters (eg @Glan gluaisne _really_ doesn't get on with the auto pilot for some reason and has consistently abysmal results)
Ah, fair, sorry for the misrepresentation! I did have some problems on narrow roads, but turned as many of the 'safety' features as I could down or off and it seemed to get better. Weirdly it is worse on narrow but marked roads than it is on actual single track I found. (Eg omg, you are going to die, dooooom, I'll take over steering for you:Not at all true. I don't use AP (or TACC) most of the time, because it's just not safe or sensible to try and use either of these features on very narrow and winding roads. Tesla make it clear that AP should not be used on roads like this, and TBH I've never once tried to do so.
I have tried AP a few times on dual carriageways and motorways. It seemed to work OK, no real issues, apart from one incident of phantom braking, but that was when passing a curtainsider, a known issue, I believe, that some seem to think relates to the movement of the truck sides or ties.
My issues of random braking and swerving aren't related to either AP or TACC, they just seem to be connected to driving down narrow lanes, with as much as can be turned off, turned off.

And I guess these inexplicable variations between experiences is part of what can be frustrating if you are on the wrong end of it :-(.
