Tesla vehicles are far from reaching a level of autonomy often described by Musk on social media, according to an internal memo obtained by transparency portal Plainsite
Despite tall claims made by Elon Musk over Twitter about the full self-driving technology, electric car-maker Tesla has privately admitted that such claims do not match up with the engineering reality.
Austria-based Raffael Helmhart was one of the Tesla Model 3’s early adopters in his area. Placing his reservation for the all-electric sedan back in April 2016, Helmhart waited over three years before he could get behind the wheel of his Model 3.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised Full Self Driving capabilities by late 2021. But Tesla told regulators its cars won t be autonomous any time soon, but will remain largely unchanged from Level 2.
2021 Tesla Model S facelift – new interior with half-rim steering yoke, onboard gaming computer, 1,020 hp

Tesla has unveiled a comprehensive revision of the Model S, a ground-up luxury sedan design that brought the electric car maker into the mainstream following the original Tesla Roadster. Updates to its exterior may be subtle as the big news is all inside; the interior has been overhauled, its battery pack has been fully redesigned and the top-performing Plaid variant is now a tri-motor setup with 1,020 hp.
Inside, the Model S steering wheel of old has been replaced by an aircraft-style yoke, where a square-shaped ‘wheel’ is cut off at top, above the nine’ and three’ o’clock hand positions. Tesla calls it “the ultimate focus on driving”; no stalks, and no shifting. With a stalkless steering yoke, you can enjoy both the best car to drive, and the best car to be driven in,” it says.
