Where?
"Assists in steering within a clearly marked lane, and uses traffic-aware cruise control"
Where is "highways only" defined? Even their new definitions aren't consistent.
And great... I have to dig through support pages to find it!
Which exactly 0 competitors do. Hyundai, Toyota, Volvo... every company page I look at makes it abundantly clear what comes on the product (on the sale page) without digging through support pages. You know what else they do? Specify the feature without calling it some "fancy" shit. Adaptive cruise control is called out as just that. Not renamed to "Traffic-Aware Cruise Control" and then hidden under "Autopilot" with a vague definition and only presented to you at the sale page under "Full Self-Driving".
Here's a snippet from the user manual of a Model 3 2022... (I've reformatted it a little bit... cause the raw copy-pasta was atrocious)
And another snippet from a model 3 2020 manual...
So is smart summon, Auto Lane change, Navigate on Autopilot, an FSD thing? Or an Autopilot thing? I thought that Autopilot was just super simple? I thought the features WERE NEVER included in autopilot definition... And yet YEARS of manuals for the damn product says you're wrong. And that their current definitions have been modified.
Autopilot according to Tesla's OWN manuals is the feature set that ALL other "smart" driving features fall under. Just like with plane-based autopilots funny enough. But you do you man. There's no changing your mind on this and you've made that clear long ago. I just hope that others see how absurd this all is.
Edit:
Also would like to see where that definition is... Cause you used the term... but it doesn't exist anywhere else.
Edit2: https://tesla-info.com/doc/mx/model_x_owners_manual_north_america_en_2019_0.pdf
For Model X as well (and in NA in case you're going to say "other regions")... Check page 95 in the pdf... Weird that a 2019 Model X has all those features labeled as "Autopilot" too eh?
Edit3: Minor formatting issue.
