I’m not doubting individual complaints, but I’ve noticed for basically every product that the people who are heard in public forums tend to be people who have a complaint while people who are content are often relatively under-represented in such places. And so, if your views of something are formed by reading reviews, you almost always form a more negative review of the thing than you would have if you experience it yourself. Add in various partisan attitudes about Teslas, and I’ve consistently found that the impression I got from reading about Tesla, Autopilot and FSD was significantly worse than the experience of using them.
