Tesla Full Self Driving Supervised: Incredibly Good Except When It Isn’t
A lot of us clean energy proponents are so disappointed with Elon Musk lately that we would like to sell our Teslas to make a statement. However, as a retired person, I don’t have the money to do that. My 2019 Tesla Model 3 has nearly 150,000 miles on it … [continued]
