Are they rapidly improving though?

Sure, other companies are making an effort to catch up with Tesla on autonomous driving, but range/speed/price are largely stagnant.

Mostly, it looks like every company (in the US/EU)is in shambles releasing half baked EVs hoping no one will notice that their hardware company is terrible at software.

Absolute, resolute "no" to "autonomous driving". Not unless it is 100% reliable, and it will never be with current technology.

The development of autonomous driving has hit diminishing returns, and while "mostly reliable" is OK for a Taxi fleet with expensive experts on call 24/7, I do not want the deadly half-arsed crap from Tesla.

The combination of range, (charging) speed, and price have all greatly improved since 2020. The next five years look promising too, with solid state batteries and smaller/lighter motors set to hit the market.

Yes, but not at 90’-20’s laptop improvements cycles.
