F150 Lightning checked all those boxes and also isn’t a complete piece of shit that sheds parts on the road.

As an owner of the f150 lightning, I get a chuckle whenever SpaceX uses them to do something a cybertruck can't.

It was pretty funny driving past the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne and seeing the F150s doing all the real work while the CTs sat to the side for press shots.

cant drive it self

Blue Cruise is far more upfront about its abilities than whatever deadly beta garbage Tesla keeps tossing out there.

alooPotato17d ago

ok so? my point was no other car can drive itself door to door, blue cruise included.

nullocator17d ago

Yes, it can

alooPotato17d ago

no it cant

Bluecruise exists it works, it's generally safe. If you try and kick this back and say it's not Full Self Driving or comparable to Tesla, then I'm going to start posting links to videos of Tesla FSD (All generations, including latest) doing thing like ignoring school buses signs and mowing down children, turning off with no warning at highway speeds, and otherwise dangerously not-working.

You can try and claim Tesla's self-driving features are great and work 100% of the time, I suspect most people here know that is FUD and there is ample evidence that Tesla "FSD" is certainly no better than competitors and is arguably worse.

Blue Cruise on the F150-Lightning is pretty capable, and it also supports a comma.ai, which is better in a practical sense than FSD.

I have a friend with a CyberBeast and a friend with an F150-Lightning. The acceleration on the CyberBeast is absolutely magnificent and FSD is very capable. However as a truck, the frunk on the F150 is way more useful. The F150 is a better truck, but I'd say the Cybertruck is really good big weird car.

also is comma.ai legit - like would you put your kids in a car driven by it? do they publish safety stats like waymo and fsd

It’s wild to me that you trust the vague bullshit safety data that Tesla puts out enough to trust your kids lives to it.

From my perspective, the only self-driving system I trust my kids with is Waymo.
