Having watched the Jay Leno video with the two Tesla guys I can see that the new model has a lot to offer.
I still think that the launch version has too many built in items that I don't want. But I will seriously consider getting one once the regular configuration is available.
I drive the Acura a lot when the roads are dirty and I don't want my beloved Tesla to get dirty. Plus parked outside if I don't drive it every two days the battery will die.
With the latest updates, even with only HW3, it drives itself with no activity by me. The only complaint is that taking a left turn with an oncoming car passing it calculates the minimum distance to miss the car and it is a little scary.
My old self would have just driven the Acura to 300,000 miles. I only upgraded in the past if there was a critical improvement. In 2003 it was passenger airbag. Backup camera probably qualified but I did not bite.
Self driving is orders of magnitude bigger than either of those. No way I would give up FSD.
