wrt taped road signs: Vandalizing road signs is a violation of state and federal laws. In my state, the upper limit on punishment is two years in prison. Thought you'd like to know. ;)

Thanks for pointing out the difference between the old and new Autopilot systems on a Tesla. Just to clarify further, the old system that was ‘tricked’ was introduced in 2014 and used a solution provided by Mobile Eye. So this report is testing 6 year old technology. They’ve come a long way. Sad thing is other manufacturers can barely do today what a Tesla did 6 years ago. Tesla has since parted ways with Mobile Eye and now uses a proprietary system in all cars. The new system can’t be tricked like this. Even if it was, Tesla would send a software update to all cars to remedy the issues. The Autopilot software is ‘learning’ at an amazing rate and Autopilot only gets better every month. It’s awesome! Also in regards to gas prices, EV drivetrain is superior to gas cars in every way. Tesla solves the range anxiety and charging times with their super chargers and it works. It’s only getting better. There are 0 reasons to get a comparably priced and classed gas car over a Tesla today. 0. Even if gas and electricity cost the same, EV drivetrain is way better. Just last week, I drove down from the mountains. I started with 125 remaining and after driving 33 miles down the mountain I had 140 miles remaining. Regen. Try that with ICE!
