Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent out a tweet over the weekend imploring Tesla drivers to try the company’s new Navigate on Autopilot system.
“If you have a Tesla built in past 2 years, definitely try Navigate on Autopilot. It will blow your mind. Automatically passes slow cars & takes highway interchanges & off-ramps,” he tweeted on Sunday.
That led us to wonder how many Tesla drivers who have access to Navigate on Autopilot use it.
