> Steering assist (automatic lane and speed control) is quite handy. I never felt the need for trying out autopilot.

Steering assist + TACC is what Autopilot is.

You're probably confusing it and Enhanced autopilot (changes lanes, takes exits) or FSD (city streets BS).

That being said, Autopilot is IMO the best of their software, EAP is like a midpoint and FSD "Beta" will actively try to kill you at times (personal experience).

I do agree with your battery points though. If I tap into the Tesla API for my car right now they even have three ranges calculated out (time of sale stated, ideal, and real).
