You’re joking right? Do you have kids?

I don't get how that works - quick look online: https://preview.redd.it/team-minivan-who-is-with-me-v0-oxprg...

That's one bike, with only 3 available seats and the front tire taken off. How would you do 4?

You’re avoiding the point of the question. Do you think you hand driving in any other car is safer for your kids than having fsd drive? Yes or no.

If you’re answer is fsd is safer for your kids then fine, you choose to trade off some (maybe marginal safety) in order to not support a company you don’t like. I understand that. If your answer is that hand driving is safer, then I don’t know how to convince you otherwise because having used it and seeing the published data it’s so much obviously safer than me driving. And I’ve been driving for 30+ years

So I take it the answer to my question is no you haven’t used FSD

for your kids safety, would you rather do 30,000 miles in HW4 FSD in a Tesla or hand driven in any other car of your choosing? doing 30K miles in a waymo isn't an option.

And you def need to hang surfboards and bikes out the back in other trucks.

air suspension, heated and air cooled comfortable leather seats, 15 high quality speakers, everything is soft to the touch (minus the window switches), super fast high quality software (that alone is a huge draw for me, most other cars have terrible software)

honestly don't need much more than that - yes it doesn't have a fridge or massaging seats or whatever, but thats usually in cars with a higher price point too

Have you ridden in a cybertruck?

I've owned several luxury SUVs (volvo, mercedes), a porsche 911 and an s class (admittedly a while ago). The cybertruck to me feels in the same league. I know older/cheaper teslas might not be the same but try the Cybertruck - I think you'd be surprised. Its very comfortable.

maybe this is an HN thing, but how would you bring your kids/wife and 4 bikes inside a minivan?

also is comma.ai legit - like would you put your kids in a car driven by it? do they publish safety stats like waymo and fsd

ok so? my point was no other car can drive itself door to door, blue cruise included.
