Yeah, that's what happens sometimes when discussion threads are charged with asphalt and batteries.

Why all the negativity? Got to be positive or sit on the fence as a neutral.

One of our local FRS owners works there =]

Did you happen to see his car out front?

Your description of the autopilot mode freaks me out. I don't think I would ever use it if I had one of these cars.

Nope - mine was the only 86 there. Just the two Model S's and a new Boxster S out front besides my car. One of the specialists did seem pretty keen on the BRZ though.

It is freaky, honestly. Releasing control at that kind of speed goes against every instinct I have, but the car performed flawlessly.

It was only the first batch of a few hundred cars that had issues IIRC
