The Tesla drivers in this post are actually correct on the first count. My wife felt something similar in 2021 and 2022 after driving only rarely during the pandemic.

The feeling of danger is accurate. Driving is by far the most dangerous thing a typical person will do every day. By far!!

tesla owners admitting without shame they don’t know how to drive anymore
Oli @CARNØN X.com The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS. No location. No navigation. Which also meant no FSD. I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance. And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car. Then it hit me. This feeling - the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error - this is how most drivers feel every single day. No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup. We've normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears. Chris Robovan @chrisrobovan • 1d So true. I couldn't imagine trying to figure things out myself anymore I feel it every time I have to take over to take a separate entrance or find an area different from the exact pin at a destination. 12.6.4 does 98% of my driving but that last 2% is tough I couldn't imagine also being without GPS 55 L7 14 118 ıhıl 96K 贝 Oli g @CARNØN• 1d It was a very tough situation • 21 4 • .. ill 74K 冂 山
