Pretty hard to argue against
Pretty hard to argue against any of your points. In my active career, I was involved with several automotive safety systems, and I remember how it sometimes took an incident to get a management team focused on the need for improvements. There in nothing evil going on; it is just where things come on the list of priorities. Thus, I feel certain that Tesla - as of an hour ago - has accelerated their efforts to add a some or all of the features you highlighted. After all, they seem to have done many, many things very well in their design.
We have an S on order, and I am hopeful that some of these improvements will make it into our car before delivery.
Thanks for being so vocal.
