Unveil part 2 is "super next-level".

And the "steering controls and system feels like a spaceship"

And Musk tweeted a little while ago about getting a special team of Software Engineers reporting directly to him for self-driving that was "top priority" within the company.

And there are no gauges directly in front of the driver at all, which has been confirmed to be like that for production.

At this point, can it be anything other than full autonomous? (and maybe you'll have to take over sometimes, but I'm thinking 95%+ of the time it will be driving itself)

'The rear-wheel drive cars will be able to go zero to 60 in less than 4 seconds. ' I don't believe that.

It's a typo, it's been clearly stated and reported as less than 6 seconds.

It is also absolutely irrelevant for normal driving. 0 to 100 km / h in 10 seconds or even more is perfectly acceptable, and lower accelerations are actually better for the range.

It’s a known fact that electric cars have superb acceleration mainly because they deliver all power from the beginning, in contrast to internal combustion engines that need to reach certain rpms to achieve the same thing. Even if it’s 6 seconds instead of 4 it still is an impressive number for a car at that price range.

"95%+ of the time it will be driving itself"

That's a shitty metric. Does it mean it will need intervention every 950ms for 50ms?

On American roads? Not likely.

By definition, fully autonomous means that you will never have to take over.
