What's not intuitive to Tesla owners is that owners of other cars can do every one of those things via voice too, with the possible exception of wipers (but I'm more than happy with the stalk and actual, functioning rain sensors that you yourself admit they're only just beginning to get right after ten years since they started mass-producing cars).
When iPhone came out in mass production, its battery life sucked compared to the cheapest phone out there at the time (and still fires in comparison), it had connection drop outs all the time, didn’t allow the flexibility of most smartphones at the time and that’s just from top of my head. What it did have was a platform that had a huge potential for evolving well past the rest. If you don’t agree, go read the news articles and forums around that time (with posts just like yours).
Thus your point about rain sensors is moot - they run vision software to detect rain. It can improve essentially forever and at no expense to the customer.
Your ICE car may have a better rain sensor or auto headlight whatever now, but for a car that may be the most expensive investment, you will be stuck with whatever capability it came with, much like the feature phones of the 2000s.
"It can improve forever". Or as long as Tesla cares.
Tesla owner attitude to a safety feature: "it doesn't matter that yours works great out of the box, and this one doesn't work, is one of the most complained about features and has been for years, what _really_ matters is that it _can_ be improved!"
If another manufacturers rain sensor was so faulty (because that's what it is) as Tesla's, it'd be repaired and replaced and no expense to the customer either. What's more is that it's a simpler system, that has worked reliably for 20+ years, and is a "solved problem", unless Tesla thinks there's some new rain situation that we're yet to encounter. Inventing a needlessly complex system that fails to do what a simpler, cheaper system does reliably and saying "oh well, you just don't get it, it can at least get better!" is cognitive dissonance.
No they don’t. If you insist, tell me which car does all those and does it like Tesla (recognizing all accents, works snappy, doesn’t require training, etc)
