They said their car drives itself every day. "Drives itself" means that the car does all of the work of driving without requiring human intervention or involvement. And that technology, of course, does not exist in any car at the moment.
Oh, wow. I had completely forgotten that "repeated button pressing to change volume" was a thing. Thank you. Apparently I like the Touch Bar more than I realized.
I work with video most of my waking hours and the 2019 MacBook Pro fully-optioned out has finally allowed me to not be tethered to my desktop for work and has easily paid for itself in time saved.
I don't believe you. I own an AP1 Tesla as well as a nominally "FSD computer equipped" AP2 Tesla.
You would be injured or killed if you tried taking an unmonitored trip of any reasonable length - ON THE HIGHWAY - in either, with autopilot on and with the nag disabled using a weight. If you think you don't have to routinely make manual corrections to save yourself from dying I think you are either lying or delusional.
That's nothing like what they said. They are not telling people what to buy. They are trying to understand the willingness of many Tesla owners to brush off being misled and ignored by the manufacturer of their car, and to do things like you just did.
I own a P100D and the magic wore off for me. Apparently it hasn't for you.
>I was told that the way to go about getting a "loaner" machine is to ship out your broken machine, buy a new one on a credit card, and then bring the new one back once you receive your replacement.
Who told you to do that? (Are we talking, like, a friend? Or an actual Apple employee?)
The only reason I ask is because I thought that was "return fraud."
> "you think it's an urban legend that an insurance company will do what it can to avoid a payout"
First-party claims, absolutely. Insurers want to pay when they are liable, and they don't want to pay when they are not. Your contract defines that, and your contract is written in plain English.
Insurers aren't out to get you, and the insurance industry doesn't rely on shafting people to make money. When you purchase insurance your policy is priced according to the exposure it creates, but a lot of people mistakenly assume that the insurer's profit comes from premium payments. It often doesn't. From what I have read, insurers are generally happy to break even on premiums vs. payouts. Their profit comes from investing the float and earning a return on those investments.
Related, I think that most people don't understand how tightly regulated insurance is, and how much it can suck for an insurer to improperly deny a claim. It creates huge legal and regulatory exposure for the insurer.

What else could "drives itself" possibly mean?
