So if I understand this correctly, the autopilot is a software update??
So Model S's that are already on the road can update their software and have autopilot?
Wow

That's my idea of acceleration. When the driver warns to "press your head back against the headrest" before he hits the gas. Wow.
BUT they need to at least add a sound synthesizer so you can make roaring V-8 sounds when you take off.

well if you stop every four hours and bring a long extension cord you should be fine.

The auto pilot was a little creepy. Would take a while to trust that thing.

yeah I also saw 300 mile range. But none of that I will trust until I see the car on "Top Gear"

It certainly has limitations, but it's still an incredible car. Truthfully, you won't be able to drive 200 miles in hot/cold weather... Cold weather in particular will drop the range. If you take long road trips you're probably going to need another car, unless your trip is in California.

So is autopilot mode street legal? Like can they mass produce this for the public?
