Another Tesla story: The husband of Mrs John's friend bought a Tesla because his neighbor has one. Went all-in for the top dollar model but was afraid to drive it for months. Instead, he drove his wife's car and she had to use the Tesla, she didn't want to, until she figured it out enough to gradually teach him how to use it. I think he uses it unassisted now. He's about 74, I think.
I kind of expect that when I reach bumper cars age, I'll get something cheap to bang around. If they have self-drivers by then, I will likely sign up for one. I expect though that I'll still be a capable driver in my 70s and hopefully in my 80s.
I get the nerves about driving an expensive car. I was really nervous driving the Taycan for a while since it's the first car that I've paid over $100k for. Probably my last as well.
