LOL who are these idiots buying their crappy cars? You only have yourselves to blame. Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.

I have Autopilot on mine (2020). I've asked them at the shop to remove it and reinstall basic cruise control and they refused, and I'm jealous. Autopilot suuuucks. I went on a 1200 mile road trip through North Texas. The whole time the car thought the speed limit was 55 when it was actually 75, and it refused to go any faster, so I had to drive for hours with no cruise control. It sucked.
