You don’t need to “jerk” the wheel.

Yes, you do. One of the reasons I didn't end up buying a Tesla.

You only need to touch it gently.

That's true for any other manufacture but Tesla. Stop lying.

For people not familiar with the wheel-jerk required by Teslas:

This is because level 2 is “hands on” system.

No, it's because it's a Tesla. Other manufacturers, including Mercedes, have sensors in the steering wheel so "You only need to touch it gently.". Again on (all) others, not Teslas.

" only the cabin camera that’s monitoring you."

Some current cars do have (Lidar based?) driver monitoring as this is set to become law. The car checks whether you pay (enough) attention. Test drive a GWM Ora - it's fucking annoying. No worries though, this will never work properly in a Tesla.

No one is making any claims about how fast Mercedes Drive Pilot should go. (...) I’m simply stating that it can’t go over 40mph.

Please re-read this, does it still make sense to you?

I could return the accusation of being disingenuous but that falls short as claiming a Mercedes does 64 on ACC/assited driving is just fucking stupid. 64 is to slow to be on the Autobahn.
