That's for sure the case. TC in an EV doesn't have to deal with engines, transmissions, differentials etc. Just precision controlled electric motors connected to the wheels. Power can be pulled or moved to individual wheels as needed in micro seconds. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure if I turned off TC (which I can) my wheels would spin out of control with all that instant torque

I finally used my first Tesla supercharger last weekend and after I backed in I realized how short the charging cable was when I tried to plug in so I had to get back in and back up a foot or so more. It could have been the way the charging station I used was set up but there wasn't much more room to back up.

The current Tesla roll-out to non Tesla vehicles is still in trial so everyone else is, rather obviously, going to have to use charging stations and cables that were specifically designed for Tesla vehicles... The superchargers which will be open to others will be fitted/retro-fitted with longer CCS cables over time. For now, complaints about Tesla cables not working with other EVs are like complaints that you can't run Windows software on your iPhone.

So much about an accident on a busy freeway and media made a big deal because it's a Tesla. Lol. Ultimately the driver has some responsibility when things like this happen. It amazes me that NHTSA let something like this on the street. Sure the driver signs the documents to consent. But what about the public? Imagine what would happen if a Japanese or Korean car were to blame? Since we're on auto pilot, how does it react when it enters a round about?

There is no FSD on a 2014 Model S, period. Hardware on the S was only "capable" of FSD sometime in 2017

Well there you go @111GS FSD (self driving) wouldn't even be involved in this case. Auto pilot is not self driving, it's basically advanced cruise control, or "smart cruise control"
