Yea, I agree with you. My wife has a '25 MME GT with BlueCruise. The system has worked well for us with rural interstate driving in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio, though the driver monitoring aspect of the system can be very aggressive; BlueCruise disengaged unexpectedly a few times because of this.   When we were shoppin' for my wife's new vehicle, we test drove Model Y (Juniper) Launch Edition at the Tesla store on the southside of Indianapolis. Our salesman had us test FSD by inputting the address for the Meijer store on Southport Rd., where Tesla has a bank of Superchargers, into the nav system and telling the vehicle to go there using voice command. The Model Y's FSD feature drove the vehicle from the Tesla Store to the Meijer store, and backed itself into an available Supercharger stall with no pedal or steering wheel interaction by whomever was in the driver's seat for the entire trip. The return trip to the Tesla store was also 100% hands off the wheel, foot off the pedals. BlueCruise on our MME can't do that.     Hopefully Ford's CE1 products (Lincolns too?!) will have somethin' more like Tesla FSD for customers who want that kind of stuff in their next vehicle, but without the boring anonymous blob styling of the Model Y and Model 3 or the hideous abominable styling of the Cybertruck.

Definitely a step in the right direction. 

Wait, 280 miles is the long range? 😆

Only to people who don't understand how businesses operate.

I don’t know if these range estimates are comparable to U.S. ratings. Typically, the Euro range ratings have been significantly higher and well above what the vehicles are able to attain. 

We are living in very interesting times. 

These batteries are less expensive than the batteries they replaced.     

Hmmm,    This seems wrong

I was pretty shocked by this news, until I saw this paragraph in a CNBC article:   "Tesla’s far more popular models are the 3 and Y, which accounted for 97% of the company’s 1.59 million deliveries last year. The Model 3 now starts at about $37,000, and the Model Y is around $40,000. Tesla debuted more affordable versions of the vehicles late last year."   https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/28/tesla-ending-model-s-x-production.html   I did not realize that the Model S and Model X accounted for so few sales.
