If you're using FSD without your hands, you're not doing what you're explicitly supposed to be doing.
So basically you're saying that so many of the naysayers haven't used FSD the wrong (and dangerous) way.
I'm using drive assist without my feet, I can keep my pinky on the wheel and give it the slightest pressure every few minutes when prompted. This is a God send in stop and go city traffic. I used to have super high stress in traffic every day, now I let the Tesla do all the stop and go braking/keeping distance/keeping center and it's way less stressful. I know other manufacturers have drive assist but I've driven my siblings BMWs Mercedes Maseratis Jaguars Land Rovers and (unless you've got a 2024 Mercedes) none of them are as easy to use as Tesla.
I fucking hate Elon musk by the way, and I'm not a Tesla fanboy, they do a lot of anti consumer bullshit I dislike. I just think to over correct and say the cars have nothing better to offer vs competitors is disingenuous
Again, that's not how you're supposed to use it.
Again, that still differentiates this company vs any other car. The entire argument we're having is that they don't do anything different than anyone else.
