Lord almighty!The other side of FOMO is the nearly 40% of my equity being TSLA. I try to sell some but I end up buying it back when it dips.

Restrictions? Only on approved highways and not over 40 mph. Where does that condition exist? So totally useless…I was surprised that MB has had fully autonomous driving available in the US although with a lot of restrictions.
Mercedes said:Required operating conditions
Building over a century of trust in drivers across the globe begins and ends with safety. DRIVE PILOT is ready to chauffeur you under conditions that help ensure a secure ride. Conditions include:
- Clear lane markings on approved freeways
- Moderate to heavy traffic with speeds under 40 MPH
- Daytime lighting and clear weather
- Driver visible by camera located above driver's display
- There is no construction zone present.
It would be completely unsafe to drive 40 mph on an interstate - so it’s a feature with zero use. At least GM’s Supercruise and Ford’s BlueCruise and several others are actually useable today on highways. Presumably Mercedes will reach parity with them, but promoting the current edition is tantamount to misinformation.Apparently you can use it on the I 15 to Las Vegas and some other CA freeways but I couldn't find specifics. The 40 mph limit isn't great. I think it is 95 kph in Germany which is still slow since it is limited to highways.
Of course, states approvals has nothing to do with this. Not the point. Tell me when you would EVER use the current MB level 3 feature as it exists today?You know that you can turn it off, right? Supercruise isn't level 3. If you want to complain about the approval or promotion take it up with California, Nevada, and MB.
My understanding is that MB level 3 is only for driving “suitable freeway sections” but it won’t exceed 40mph. Is that correct?Of course. Not the point. Tell me when you would EVER use the current MB level 3 feature as it exists today?

The Model 3 Highland update last year, and the Model Y Juniper update coming very soon, both improved suspension/ride - already well documented WRT the Model 3 Highland. However, I am sure they are not like a Buick, not the design brief. Fortunately there's are many makes/models of cars to choose from. From what I have read, many of the legacy auto EVs do have smoother rides than a Model 3/Y, the Lyriq I am sure.Tesla Model Y is a nice car. But the problem is in suspension. The ride is just too rough for me, after more than a decade long Buick ownership. It seems they have much better ride in Tesla S/X but they're too big and expensive for me. I'm not sure if they improved suspension in Juniper model.
And yes, I don't consider any EV other than Tesla. Charger network is way more advanced than anyone's else.
Yes, but approved freeways only? In other words can’t be used off the approved freeways? I imagine that also excludes exits.
Yes you're right it has been confirmed by multiple sources Model 3 Highlander has much better ride than previous models. However, nothing about Model Y Juniper so far. Sure I understand the difference with Buick. But the Tesla Model 3/Y from previous years were more like old models of Honda Civic i.e. you can feel hard every bump on the road. It is sad that the car with so much technology put in it and superior acceleration would ride like that.The Model 3 Highland update last year, and the Model Y Juniper update coming very soon, both improved suspension/ride - already well documented WRT the Model 3 Highland.

It is a ‘sportier’ suspension. It is a design choice for a more responsive ‘feel’.Yes you're right it has been confirmed by multiple sources Model 3 Highlander has much better ride than previous models.

There’s no such thing as a federal EV mandate.The executive order did not specifically cancel the EV tax credit. This might require action by Congress.
The EO attacked the mandate forcing the switch to EV or hybrid and criticised unfair subsidies which might refer to the tax credit. But it is currently active and if I take delivery in March or April probably still get it.
