Yeah 0-60 in 2.3 I go through rubbers real quick. Definitely more frequently than the G80. Brakes are pretty much lifetime with regenerative braking, you rarely hit the brakes unless you really need to. As for filters, there's one filter, not multiple - the HEPA one I have is recommended every 3 years.
There are two levels here. The first one is autopilot which is included in all Teslas, which steers, brakes, accelerates and has all the emergency stuff you'd expect. All the vehicles have almost two dozen cameras/sensors in total that analyze your precise driving conditions. This is really something that all manufacturers should be pursuing as standard.
The premium feature is the FSD (Full Self Driving), which is progressively improving to the point of being more and more autonomous. The car can already change lanes automatically, overtake slower cars, and recognize traffic signs. Lots more too. I get over the air updates that constantly improve all of these features. It's mainly intended for highway use now, we will see more city use with this in the future. The reason why Tesla is ahead is all of this data is being analyzed worldwide, and will improve far quicker than any other competitors.
As for Tesla owners looking stupid comment, there is no reason disparage anyone for their preferences. I'm proud that Tesla is made right here in the United States, and I look forward to them continuing to be the trailblazers in vehicle safety, technology and fun.

Regenerative braking does slow the car down...in calm normal situations. However...you will need to apply the brakes in emergency braking or even aggressive situations.
So you go 0-60 so often (thus burning through your rubbers real quick)...this means you need to apply aggressive braking frequently.
When using the brakes...there is friction and wear/tear...so they are NOT "pretty much lifetime". I know you are quoting Musk on this...but all other EV manufacturers that use this same concept admit that brakes need replacing. Just not as often.
So you are wrong here...and misinforming the folks on this board. Just because Musk tweets and brags about stuff does not mean it is true.
The day after Christmas, Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave us an unexpected gift. Brake pads on Teslas would “literally never” need to be replaced, he said, thanks in part to the electric car’s regenerative brakes cutting way down on brake pad use compared to a conventional car. That seemed a little too...

Their HEPA filters are pretty impressive. I can only imagine the cost...i think like $100 for one filter. Guess what...other cars use HEPA filters !!! Wow. Just because Tesla states that they are good for the apocalypse does not make them any different. HEPA is HEPA. Misinformation/exaggeration again.

There are other manufacturers that are doing autonomous driving tech. Tesla has gone a long way...but by no means should anyone follow their standard. Especially when it Teslas constantly fail at it. Someone was even killed (not sure of others). There are tons of stories of them hitting stuff...or just going out of wack. I am sure that there is other tech out there that Tesla does not use that is better.
Here is a list of several cars and the tech they use. There are others not on the list that are inventing new tech.
Top 3 companies in autonomous tech (Tesla not mentioned)...
As autonomous driving continues down the road to reality, these companies are fueling the movement.

Good read...debunks some myths...
Autonomous cars are coming, but a lot of hype around self-driving cars is overblown and exaggerated.

So again...you are making it seem like Tesla is the best at it hands down and everyone should copy them. Wrong.
You think Tesla is the only company that can communicate with their cars to analyze data? Wrong. How can you say they will improve quicker than other competitors? That is utter BS. More fanboy information.
Lastly...Tesla owners DO look stupid when they go to sleep behind the
wheel while their cars are "driving". That is beyond stupidity. It is wreckless...dangerous...and should have their drivers licenses revoked. Has nothing to do with preference of vehicle. It has to do with brain malfunction.
Tesla is made in the USA? Sure. It is also made in China, Germany, etc. And...once again...fanboy information making it seem like all their profits come from USA manufacturing. Trailblazers in vehicle safety? C'mon...do you know how many vehicles have top-notch safety ratings?
All this is from your the last post that set me off. You have have been arguing in previous posts stating similar claims. I just don't feel like arguing each point.
Now...feel free to show 100% proof of your statements...actual facts that support your statements. Not hearsay...Musk tweets...or other fanboy arguments.
Merry belated Xmas and Happy New Year.
**As for G70girl getting all bent out of shape...how about you do some research yourself and realize that there is misinformation. Perhaps you will see the frustration I got from mis-truth being spread. Not being a bully...just calling a spade a spade and making sure folks see all sides of the story.
