Yes, which is why pilots have extensive training and planes costs millions of dollars. Neither is true of a tesla or tesla owners.
I'm pretty sure Tesla owners still have to take a drivers test. The "extensive training" a pilot goes under is not about weird magical situations that requires more than normal flight training. Just because my car has "autopilot" doesn't mean I need to undergo some new special drivers training that isn't covered by regular driving schools...the autopilot mode doesn't give the car a complex new control set or somehow change the rules of the road.
Also this has nothing to do with why planes are expensive, not to mention that Teslas aren't cheap.
