The production issues are a whole different can of worms but the autonomous driving accidents are what the public sees.
People need to understand that Tesla is not the only company that can deliver self driving hardware nor are they the only manufacturer of EVs. They are currently the maker of the more desired EV but with some of the old school automakers joining the fray they will see their high end model profit vanish.
finally, I am still not convinced they ever plan to actually sell a base model.

What is the rational thought it permitting that on the road.
that is what happened in the recent fatality, tell me how that is even remotely acceptable regardless of disclaimers. I seriously doubt adaptive cruise control would do the same, the majority of them work by following other vehicles.
Cruise control ll control the steering? I thought it just maintain the speed...
Me: Why aren't your hands on the wheel?
Him: They don't need to be. It tells me once in a while when I need to touch the wheel.
Think about that for a minute. This is representative of your average driver. People are so blindly trusting of autopilot that they deliberately don't even touch the wheel at all, opting instead to play with their phone until the car nags them to pay attention for one second.
This is so completely different than cruise control that the two are barely comparable in terms of driver mindset.
