Well the scary for a newbie part I can agree with! So that one slight criticism didn’t lead to that essay.
It’s was the other stuff: “very specific sequence detailed in the manual” which got me, because the wording is so amped up and over dramatized. I mean I almost mentioned “JFC” myself before you did, but explained it instead. You can’t please everyone though.
I think it’s interesting how Tesla has addressed all the different UX challenges of the car. Fascinating really. I know UX people and they have my utmost respect because they often solve problems like this one in such effective ways.
This issue can come up on you while you're in the middle of the highway.
If you don't have experience with it before it's extremely scary.
You don't know if your blinkers are working (they are), but you have no idea.
You don't know if your braking lights are working. You don't know what speed you're going.
One slight criticism and you send me an essay about spreading FUD.
