My brother in law works as an engineer for Tesla Palo Alto: according to him these features are all driven from the very top. Always at the expense of fixing bugs, or getting even basic things working reliably in ways that would make driving safer and more enjoyable. Make your own conclusions about buying one. I would steer clear, literally, knowing some of the bugs in there.

This tracks with everything we’re seeing at Twitter now. A passion for high level feature ideas and an apparent disinterest in confounding issues or technical complications.

As a robotics engineer for a long time I thought they were ahead of the curve. But I am beginning to see that their big bet isn’t paying off, and I’ve taken more of an interest in going back and listening to those people who said it wasn’t going to work.
