I’m just traveling from the Czech Rep. to Scotland in my Model 3 LR Highland and the missing TACC speed resume is pi$$ing me off. Just like the scary breaking for no reason 🤦🏻‍♂️ I really miss the ACC reliability from VW cars I used to have

[@Lascarnn]

The review was also done in bright light. In rain / night, Tesla Autopilot will be even worse, because it relies only on cameras.

[@Reksal]

That's the problem with Tesla. Without FSD, Tesla cannot hold its own against other cars. Sigh ..

[@babnu]

Tesla autopilot in Europe is not the real thing. It’s sucks like it used to be in US several years ago. Good news is that hopefully Europe will experience the real FSD soon if regulators allowed.

[@George_Shonia]

autopilot is old, but what's new & ultra modern is FSD, VW can't even dream about things like FSD is

[@achaz_]

There's some slightly untrue informations about autopilot but it's very minor. This is exactly the video we needed !

[@codemancerdev]

Great comparison! I had a Tesla Model S for 4 years and your review of Autopilot is spot on. I was constantly annoyed by it and think it is over hyped by the fan boys. Travel Assist seems much better!

[@nakfan]

Great idea for a video 👍 This channel just get better and better... Chris is upping the game 😎

[@vhol93]

Distance 1 was only available for cars with sensors/radar. Since Tesla removed them, using only cameras for ACC, minimum distance is now 2

[@peezet2742]

I have a Volvo, an Audi, a BMW, a Mercedes and 3 Tesla’s, but I am still not happy.

[@DEEPNNN]

Excellent review. Matches the result of another similar review I've seen by an American who demonstrated the same features.

[@MightyCalves]

I have the exact same experience. I used to have a 2021 Passat GTE with full tracel assistant and it was great. I now have a Model Y and i have the same issues as you mention. Also, the passat handled roundabouts well, which we have lots of in Norway. The Tesla has no idea amwhat to do with roundabouts and just goes full speed into it if there are no cars in front.

[@thetechnoshed]

Thank you for this explanation and demonstration of the two systems. I've been interested in finding out how well the VW travel assist works in comparison to the Stellantis offering I'm used to and this has covered my questions.

[@andrasivacson7910]

Thanks this is an informative video

[@hrpzwift945]

Love your videos and often agree with your opinions. Regarding steering in Tesla, in mine I just rest one hand at the button of the steering wheel and then it very rarely ask my steer to acknowledge that I am there.

[@larsvaneynde4281]

Very informative video, would love the same test for other brands! My Volvo XC40 i.e. has a resume button for ACC which I love, but it brakes at 200m distance for a truck driving 90km/h on the highway which is super annoying. And this is on the closest distance setting for ACC.

[@De4dCert]

This is the same experience I have with my NiroEV. No phantom breaking and the auto drive just works and can be split if you want it to steer or keep lane or both. It even learns driving habbits and tunes the distance and acceleration settings.

[@jobdoe2051]

ID series traffic assist is really good. I hardly ever drive without it. I recognize the situation where the car in front of me leaves via offramp and it tries to follow. The workaround is simple, push the pedal a bit until the car in front is gone.

[@Jramskovk]

How are they doing in bad weather, like heavy rain or a lot of sidewinds?

[@teetubbie7697]

100% agree with your comments on the Tesla autopilot, coming from previous car (Vauxhall Insignia) and my spare vehicle (Seat Leon) one with travel assist and the other with PACC, I found I trust them much more. I have experienced the exact same situation in my Tesla with phantom braking and when the road lines do something funky the car reacts weird trying to decide which line to follow, this can be quite scary if your traveling quite quickly.
