I like driving. voice-verified

So like to me, I don't really like driving Teslas. voice-verified

This makes people very mad, but sorry. voice-verified

That's just how I feel. voice-verified

I don't actually enjoy driving a Tesla. voice-verified

If I'm in a Tesla, I'm going to be self-driving 100% of the time. voice-verified

So that's been an interesting shift for me with driving. voice-verified
