Chris Walker/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty ImagesAll Tesla models are equipped with the Autopilot feature, which enables a car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within its lane. Earlier this year, Model S owner Tim Heckman told Insider the driver assist features were a "lifesaver" on his 6,392-mile road trip. Long trips can take a mental toll," Heckman said at the time, noting that he'sd used Autopilot on previous road trips and discovered he could drive further without getting tired. Zuga told Insider Autopilot is one of several features that he feels make road trips less stressful and safer in a Tesla.

☆ A Tesla driver took a 6,392-mile road trip using Autopilot and Full Self-Driving software — there were some hiccups

Tesla driver Tim Heckman drove 6,392 miles primarily using Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. He said Autopilot has gotten "worse" over the years and FSD was "exceptionally poor outside of California." But, the Tesla driver said the software has been a "lifesaver" when it comes to long road trips. In December, Tim Heckman drove a Model S Plaid from Los Angeles to Pennsylvania and back, using the autonomous software for 99% of the journey, an experience he documented on Twitter. "It's kind of like driving with a 15 or 16-year-old driver sometimes," Heckman said of using FSD in city streets outside of California.
