For his part, Max Paul reconstructed the entire story: “Without any intervention, the car deftly made the 13 mile journey (almost 21km) from my house to the emergency room… As an owner of luxury vehicles, including Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Acura and Cadillac, I can unequivocally declare Tesla to be the pinnacle of automotive innovation today. His life-saving abilities at critical moments underline his superiority. The leap from traditional vehicles to Full Self-Driving functionality is like a transition from a basic phone to a smartphone. As a resident of a solar powered home, the cost for the last 7,000 miles has been minimal, I have saved almost $1,000. I extend my gratitude to Elon Musk for his crazy erratic leadership in advancing the technology that is more than just transportation…Thank you, Tesla, and thank you to the team at Charles George Medical Center!“.
