11:18 when a bad driver tries to correct a better driver. When making a turn, you're supposed to stay in your lane and then merge after 100 feet of signaling over. So many bad drivers are in the far left lane and end up in the far right lane when making their turn... that's wrong.
@everydayjan haha but that's what makes human drivers human drivers. They break laws, speed, run stop signs, follow too close, turn where they shouldn't, including onto lightrail and bus only areas, cross double white and double yellow lanes, pass when it's unsafe to do so, drive in shoulders to pass traffic they shouldn't, do illegal u turns, turn into one way traffic, cut people off and brake check them, drive the same speed in other lanes so people can't get by, tailgate, etc. Human drivers are "far superior" so they get mad when others don't break the laws and speed, tailgate, etc. as well. Lol
Was coming to point this out! She gets upset that the car is doing the right thing and then says "I guess that's okay". Even when FSD does quirky things, it's still better than so many drivers out there. There should be a stringent driving test that if you don't pass, you HAVE to have FSD. The elderly (and the people around them) would benefit from this the most.
I had to look it up. Seems like @everydayjan is right but also it is recommended to be in the closest lane but if there’s only one lane turning left you can be in either lane. www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/navigating-the-roads/
The correct method for left turns is to turn to the inside (left) lane, and then switch lanes after the turn. This allows oncoming traffic turning right to make their turn safely.
Not in all driving jurisdictions - in 1992 the state that I live in made it ok to choose any lane after making a turn (unless road markings are painted otherwise), provided your vehicle positioning follows an efficient arc to intersect with the desired lane.
No, those turning right dont have the right of way, you do. So they need to wait. There's a lot of times a gas station on the right, or a street that you need to turn onto so you need to make your turn accordingly. Those making right turns need to wait their turn.
@@alexmayer8943 only idiots think it's appropriate to turn left into the outside lane, so save your breath on any other bullshit you might have to say because I'm not hearing it.
I'm a conservative/defensive driver like you are. I too will disengage FSD/AP if other cars are getting too close. But one thing James Douma said is that the car can see in all directions at once and it is better at judging distances and reacting than we are. So the car may need less of a safety margin when other cars get close or when there are several lanes to be crossed. I think that over time we can start to learn to trust the car's judgement in some things. Watching videos of other people using FSD can also help build trust. I wish we could select a larger follow distance on highways. I live in rural New Mexico where it is less crowded and I'm able to either change my speed or pass to keep from following another car too closely. I really like the change-lane feature where the car will change lanes for me (if it's safe) when I turn on a blinker. I always look first but I think it's much safer when we are both looking. Again, my situation may be different than yours but I've had good luck with both AP and FSD in stop and go traffic. I've been using AP for almost two years and FSD for a few weeks. I think there is a learning process to get the most out of AP or FSD. I approach them as driver assistance, not driver replacement. I try to work with the car to get the best experience.
Thanks Everyday Jan for this informative video. I agree with your analysis. I have been testing FSD Beta since 10/2021 and have seen significant improvement on my to and from work. Recently, I have experienced zero takeovers (no accelerator inputs) to and from work on city driving only with version V11.4.4. I which never happened before. It's definitely improving but some people reported some regressions with V11.4.2 having better results. My advise is to always have one hand on the steering wheel and hover your right foot over the brake or accelerator pedal in case of emergency. Let the steering wheel spin between your fingers and apply a slight pinching force to prevent the nag. This will enable you to take over quickly. Also when there is a car behind me, I tend to hover my foot over the accelerator so that I can give the car a nudge to move faster when it is too slow and avoid frustration from the other driver. It is also a good practice in case of infrequent phantom braking. By the way, FSD Beta automatically adjusts within the lane away from an adjacent truck. This solves one of your driving issues with using basic Autopilot. One of my complaints is that FSD Beta does not allow you to confirm lane changes anymore like in previous version but instead resorted to automatic lane changes. You can cancel it by using the turn stalk but sometimes it is too late to cancel. Good job. :)
I purchased a Model 3 with FSD paid up front. After a year, I regret paying for it up front for sure! It's not near what you would think full self driving should be at this point. It's also frustrating to not have any kind of real timeline on when it's going to get to actually being FSD.
FSD would be a lot better if it didn't try to be "full" self driving. Just keep the lane, stop at stoplights, follow the lead car, and change lanes when the signal is put on by the driver. Everything FSD does where it tries to be "smart" (like braking for perceived "danger", or attempting to manage which lane it should be in, or trying to negotiate intersections) results in mistakes, especially in FSD being overly cautious, and all those constant mistakes are SUPER annoying to the Telsa driver and nearby drivers.
@@routine8 Definitely! My car on a 4 lane divided highway will decide to change over to the left lane with nobody around me! It just signals and then camps out in the left lane. I'm sick of the hard braking it does when cars cross in front of me but in a very safe distance. They need to add a button to turn off lane change all together.
I got a Long Rang 3 in 2022 with FSD, but I never use it because of the same student driver characteristics you alluded to. I don't regret getting FSD ($10k at the time) because I have not lost all hope that Tesla FSD will live up to its hyped-up promise someday. However, I do think it is unfair of Tesla to not allow me to transfer my investment in FSD to someone else if I decide to sell my 3 someday. I am editing because I forgot to tell you that I enjoyed your video, and I think you do a great job of expressing yourself with no apparent spin. Given the quality of this video, I was surprised to see your subscription number.
Same thing, I was going to buy the 15k fsd hoping to increase my resale value then I found out it’s not transferable which felt like theft. Tesla want you to think of the car like a cellphone after a couple of years it cannot keep up with the new model as far as tech go.
I bought it in 2020 when it was one-time $6000 at purchase. Glad I got in before Tesla became so popular. It's still a long way from perfect, but I'm glad I got it.
@Jon VB Mine has issues, I wouldn't call it completely phantom, but it brakes when somebody on a different lane is slowing down for a turn or something, almost to a full stop. I am not sure if FSD is memorizing specific roads that have high FSD traffic but that would explain why some in major cities have not had the need to intervene for days whereas people who live on less travelled cities like myself have to intervene daily. I will say 11.4.1 did improve over 11.3.6 which was un-useable for me, but intervention is still necessary at this point.
thanks for the honest and fair review. I too have some regrets getting FSD. the phantom braking drives me insane and using it in stop and go traffic….i always get so nauseous and car sick
Fantastic review! I wish full self driving was further along. Also, I'm petty sure when you make a left turn, you have to take the closest lane and then lane change to the lane you want.
Since Tesla got rid of radar, self driving has got worse with an increasing number of accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Consumer Reports now places Tesla's SD as seventh with Ford's BlueCruise as the best.
Based on Twitter/X and car/solar sales, I recommend waiting to buy FSD. Tesla is in a rough spot right now. I have the Y and 42 panels on my roof (98% off the grid). I predict that Tesla is going to get far more aggressive in the coming months based on yesterday's fed meeting and other geopolitical news. This might seem alarmist or negative but downsides = upsides for smart consumers. We actually need a market correction. Industry always excels in pressure. Thanks for video and humorous honesty of your driving. I will admit my driving is becoming rather dodgy as I get older with small kids! :)
Try changing Autopilot settings to Chill and it’s actually good. Also, you can enable minimal lane changes not sure of it’s available to Enhanced autopilot
When it comes to FSD, I'm too much of a natural driver to allow the car to operate itself... Would definitely give the subscription a try just for kicks, but wouldn't consider going at it until the software is fully certified and proven to work. Driving is an absolute joy to me and as I'm scheming to purchase a Model Y come next July. Parallel parking is a skill that takes an immense amount of practice. Once you get the motions into memory, it becomes a fluid action that you'd feel proud of yourself for achieving! Keep working at that.
if they were prioritizing safety they wouldn't be testing it with every day drivers on roads with real traffic. That's why there have been a number of deaths and too many close calls with the tech. Also why the company is under investigation.
@@coolguysixtynine Guns in the hands of irresponsible owners kill people too. But make a gun that kills people by itself (statistically less than normal) and it will not stay on the market long.
Have you thought about doing some advanced driver training? Here in the UK, we can take an advanced driving test that covers motorway (freeway) driving and evasive driving skills, eg reacting to a skid etc. It would help give you confidence and improve your driving skillset, which is better (in my opinion) than relying on technology to keep you safe on the road.
I don't regret getting FSD, but I feel that it is overpriced and it's not ready for the price it is being charged for. I have to intervene way too many times or getting other drivers upset by the way it drives.
So many cool older vehicles on L.A. freeways (no rust) like that Volvo wagon at 5:00, and the always-slow traffic allows time to notice them. I agree that $15K for FSD which is still in unreleased "beta" after many years seems an IQ Test. I wouldn't pay $6K for Enhanced AP either since I can change lanes myself and exit freeways (entering freeways is much harder and not supported), plus Smart Summon is risky to use. For kids, a sliding door is best, and the VW e-Buzz is coming (they don't call it a minivan). At 11:25, FSD made the left turn correctly and legally. You fussed it should have swept the turn across lanes into the right lane, which is illegal. Many drivers do that, and it causes many accidents. You must turn into the closest lane (or follow lane markings when present). In CA, It isn't actually illegal to change lanes in an intersection when going straight thru, but ill-advised. It also isn't illegal to cross a solid white, unlike most States, except if a gore region. Great that AP and FSD signal all lane changes and turns. Now if we could just educate the 50% of drivers who never do (fines work).

Jan! very well-made video. Great camerawork and you articulated all your opinions and concerns really well. Thanks for helping me make a decision for my own Tesla!
If you want to improve your driving skills the last thing you need are a bunch of driver aids, modern cars do little to keep a driver's skills in tune.
11:19 That was actually the legal maneuver you're supposed to do as a driver, then when the other lane is clear, merge over, like it did. It did exactly what it and you're supposed to do.
I originally was going to get a Tesla with FSD years ago, even did a test drive. Due to a bad experience trying to get FSD to work (someone just bought the car before I did a test drive and they disabled FSD without telling me), I ended up holding off to think about it longer. I remember around this time there was a big Fear of Missing Out push to buy self drive, with lot's of false promises, that the car would pay for itself, that it was investment that could earn money back, 'a full not to buy one'. I stressed for a month due to all that FOMO. Looking back now, I'm happy I didn't get it, as the advertising doesn't align to what was actually sold. I've gone full 360 from my views from then. The whole 'Tesla can release an update, endless upgrades' concept now terrifies. I've seen over my years that live updates, even down to my gaming consoles can 'remove features' with updates and how companies can target individuals such as a reason situation where a person was locked out of there smart home. For those who say 'but Tesla wouldn't do that'. Your fully entitled to your opinion, but for me, the jade color glasses have worn off and I'm far less trusting. There anti right to repair pushes, such as disabling features when getting repairs done by anyone other then there dealership makes me feel contained. The fear of the unknown on how the vehicle will perform in self driving modes when it keeps getting tweaked. I do plan on considering Tesla next time I look at getting a car. I say consider as it is fair to consider it again based on how things have changed over the years. The few people I spoke with who own a Tesla, recommend them.
Nice analysis. I'm glad you added that you probably did not have to intervene. My thought it is a gamble depending on your driving style and desired use. You are spot on regarding the enhanced autopilot and driving long distances and being tired. It is a great help. Thanks for your awesome and objective diligence on this review. It gave me a lot to think about.
My biggest issue as you stated FSD is still in Beta. Thats great if youre testing software programs handling inventory control, building management, video games, something that doesnt pit 1-2 ton masses against other 1-40 ton masses and bipedal animals strewn about. If it was more accurately marketed as Co-pilot for highway, ot wide open roads in less population dense areas I believe there eould be a lot less criticism on the feature. However thats not whats been stated for several years and has lead to many preventable losses had the drivers not trusted a software program to not do the wrong thing at the wrong time. And no Thunderf00t or Common Sense Skeptic sent me to comment on your or antone elses video on tesla especially FSD, you just happened to pop up today iny sunday feed. I too also prefer to be on the exit lane at minimum 1 mile prior, definitely 2 miles if there is traffic. Id also be concerned how quickly it moves from the change to a green light as even in my lesser dense region of NE Ohio, priple blow through the ted light in the other direction, sometimes large trucks and if FSD is proceeding forward quickly because the light changed green there literally no time from the acceleration it can do to miss be T-bined by a distracted or careless driver. I wish you both safe travels.
From a financial perspective purchasing FSD for 15k is not with it as it takes at least 75 months (i.e., 6.25 years) to recoup the money compared to the subscription model of $199 per month and longer if you finance the purchase price (i.e., paying interest on the loan) or if you have the 15k in a high yield savings account (i.e., 8.25 years assuming a 4% interest rate). In addition, FSD and Enhanced Autopilot have little resale value in the used Tesla market.
@@williamrogers1219 what's your point? You're paying 15k now. What you pay now doesn't matter if it costs 100k in the future, but if you go the subscription route, you are not grandfathered into a set price per month. What's $300 now can be $1000 in the future.
Hi. The reason I got my Tesla is exactly the same as yours. The problem is: we feel the pressure from other drivers who believe they are better than everyone else when they are not. I understand you. Don’t blame you. You shouldn’t care if people think you are not a good driver. I doubt you are a bad driver. I believe you are just paying attention to what they think. Parallel parking was always a nightmare to me until I started to care less and less about what others think. But this video actually helped me to understand I AM NOT ALONE. So I hope you feel the same way. Thanx for sharing.
Been testing out the free trial of FSD on my new model 3. I keep getting warnings about keeping my hands on the wheel. I find just resting my hands on the steering wheel to be uncomfortable. I'm still 50/50 on how i feel about it. But great review of all the auto pilot features. The best I've seen so far.
@@jeffufcfanaticrosenbergit’s actually very good most of the time. But it does make incorrect decisions sometimes or people just don’t know how to use it or that it drives like a slower driver.
I got FSD before the price increased to 15k, and don't have any regrets (mainly for that reason tbh). That said though, experiencing the evolution of beta after every sw release has been pretty fascinating. There's actually nothing else like it - eg. When you disengage FSD, you can send a short voice note to the engineers explaining why. That voice note is then transcribed and the associated cam footage can be included in subsequent ML training models for an upcoming release (11.4.2 to 11.4.3 is a prime example....) Nothing else like it Too bad it's expensive AF tho. Quite telling on how the robotaxi model will fit into society
It seems like you heavily depend on the car to do the driving for you. Even with fsd out it will not work 100% of the time. Especially in the night since the sensors have been replaced with cameras. Instead of using the car as a crutch, you should improve your driving skills. Then use these features in fruition of that, not to depend on them.
Excellent review Jan. I am contemplating purchase of an M3 (as soon as they release the upgrade version) and have been debating about the self driving options. Your experiences are illuminating. Thanks
Today was first day FSD, at stop light it block turning intersection and before entering a merging lane it stopped first instead of entering into merging only lane directly which I think is safe for that situation. It also stopped on the highway instead of passing a bike with no real bike lane, it was really scary..
I'd like to point out that software may improve but hardware limitation is real, so you're not necessarily guaranteed to get the same enhancements simply because your old Tesla simply cannot perform the complicated computation. All this to say, I wouldn't necessarily rely on "you can upgrade software later" .
This is a reasonable review by an anxious driver reviewing the various features, and kudos on a lot of good guidance in there. However, it should be noted that Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) is $6k, but while Full-Self-Driving (FSD) may be $15k, it includes EAP so it's really only $8k more after that. Teslas were a way better value when EAP was a standard feature. I advise anxious drivers to get EAP but hold off on buying FSD because they won't use it. Of course, when it gets better, it can be added later for $8k. Drivers with anxiety are going to have more disengagements with all of these technologies, which does have higher correlation with more accidents than if the technology were left on but will still be safer than not using it at all. Still, it's clear you've built some trust over time with the strengths and weaknesses of Autopilot and EAP, but with FSD, your review was more that of a first time experience. You're not able to demonstrate any of the strengths and weaknesses of that tech, even though it's gotten miles ahead of EAP on freeways. It's totally different technology so it makes even better decisions in that environment and is quite customizable to be conservative to aggressive. Some of the issues you have with EAP may go away on freeways even. I've observed that anxious drivers will never turn FSD on after their first experience with it because it does require a LOT of time allowing it to do it's thing to build trust enough to know what it can handle and what it cannot. Once you know what it's good at and what it's not, I've found my anxiety goes down as my role moves away from having to deal with every element on the road to mostly just copilot watching to make sure this student driver doesn't do anything too dumb. Your mileage may vary. For me, the car drives 99.5% of the time in FSD and I handle the last 0.5%. I am a lot less stressed on the road in that role because I'm less worried as much about what other drivers are doing because I've got a machine watching all 360 degrees around me and if I'm ever in doubt, the visual display shows everything it sees before I could turn my head. Also, if your anxiety is height-related, like driving over bridges, FSD is essential.
Tesla is ignoring older Model S owners. The latest update that MCU1 owners have is from February of last year; 2022.8. Over a year old! Owners of older Teslas haven't had any updates for a looooong time. Even owners who originally paid thousands of dollars for FSD can't access FSDbeta because Tesla is ignoring owners of older cars with MCU1.
Jan, Appreciate your video and your honesty regarding your experience and take on FSD beta. However, I have to point out something important because it's safety related. Using FSD beta when you are monitoring (including necessary interventions) actually makes you safer than driving yourself without FSD beta. This isn't a hunch. The evidence is bearing this out. Tesla started publishing miles driven between accidents and compared FSD beta engaged vs Teslas without FSD beta engaged. We now know that having it engaged is safer in that statistically cars using it drive significantly further between accidents. The reason for this is that when one uses it you have the benefit of redundant driving systems (FSD beta and driver) working together to make the drive safer than either one of the systems working alone. Such redundancy is very powerful. Engineers use redundancy in designing safety critical systems all the time to improve reliability. I think what many people understandably don't realize is that their comfort level (or lack thereof) while using FSD beta does not really correlate to degree of safety during a drive. So while using FSD beta at first feels a bit uncomfortable or even "scary" to some they are very likely safer using it (again as long as you are truly monitoring) than not. Another way of thinking of this is that, when engaged, FSD beta effectively transforms the driving system (hardware) from one brain with two cameras (driver) to a total of 2 brains with 10 cameras (FSD beta plus driver). With respect to comfort in using FSD beta, my wife and I have been using it for about 1.5 years. No question that for the first year it was sketchy from a comfort level for many people and frankly no one but Tesla knew the true safety stats in early days. However, now it has gotten much better overall including comfort and the safety stats are now known to be better when using it. Respectfully suggest you give it a second chance to enhance your safety. To become more comfortable with it just takes practice like over a few months (not days) You basically learn with time when to trust it and when an intervention is needed. You eventually get to the point where you never want to drive without it. The significant increase in safety alone makes FSD beta priceless. So have to disagree with your suggestion to spend that money elsewhere. Thanks again for the video.
The human drivers rescue the about-to-crash Tesla when it is in full safe driving mode! That corrupts your data! When the human is driving, they have no one to rescue them!
I'm pretty sure buying full self drive to "improve" someone's driving ability is a big ol' red flag. Instead, try booking some time with a driving/racing instructor to help you drive better, safer, and more confidently. Thanks for the video and all the best.
At the 11:30 min mark, the Tesla did exactly what it was supposed to do - turn into the leftmost lane. You'd get a ticket in some states if you turn into the right lane like you said it was supposed to do. Just food for thought...other than that, thanks for sharing!
I like your video as it’s very informative. I’m in the market and about to buy my first ev for commuting. Will either get a model 3 or s. This was helpful. If you haven’t already perhaps do more videos of pros and cons of your ownership overall. I’m nervous of making the purchase but I don’t want to continue to put mileage on my new suv in order to preserve it more.
Great info! Cool feature, but FSD will likely always be in beta, so when it fails, you cannot get your money back and you are responsible for what happens.
Had you bought a used Tesla with FSD, you would have gotten it free and potentially acceleration boost to help you with the “drivers that won’t let you in” problem. That’s why I got my Tesla, people don’t let me in, I gap virtually every car on the road and let myself in.
What she said 4:30 Rear Ended makes no sense at all.... How come she needs to pay for car in front? It all depends how FAST the car REAR END the person.
The FSD price is out-of-this-world expensive, but Elon probably hopes that people will buy it out of the fear that the price will increase even more. However, the price is already three times beyond the price of buying another cheap used car on top of already buying a Tesla, which makes me wonder if he has lost touch with ordinary people’s economic capabilities.
I think the biggest problem of FSD developers are, I guess, they are not good drivers. They do not know what is good driving. They implemented swerving out before making a turn. This is typical bad driving habit.
Hi Jan, thank you for the video. I'm stressed because Tesla let me test drive a Model X last weekend, I LOVED it and want to order one, But the falcon door on the drivers side would never close all the way until I tried again the second time and there was a squeaking noise in the back over every bump. I keep seeing RUclips videos about the same issues not being fixed. I want to try everything including the driving software, but I'm afraid of making this purchase and the service department not being able to fix these issues. Again, I LOVED the model X, but I would be so disappointed if simple items like closing a door or noises in the cabin would persist. Not sure what to do??
Thank you Jan! I was on the fence about FSD. I love your videos because you are always so clear and concise. Looking forward to your next videos. Aloha
Tesla's auto pilot is 3 lanes over from the right exit lane one mile away from the exit ramp and that makes you nervous!!! Here is a pro tip - drive in the right lane 100% of the time and you won't have to make any of those stressful decisions!!! Better yet, stay off of the freeways completely and you won't have to deal with high speed traffic and high speed decisions!!!
You need more time to get used to and trust fsd. Apparently you are not there yet.11:31 fsd is creeping forward for visibility and a good human driver would do so.
First off… I think you can be a so much better driver than you think. It’s all practice and repetition and making everything about driving as close to natural / muscle memory as possible but of course combined with hand eye foot/feet coordination. You stated some basic safety things about driving that make me think you are a good driver. Tesla (and other companies) should really change the name from auto pilot or self drive to something else. Buyers should of course do their own research before spending that money which should be a given. Phantom braking issues should definitely be addressed. Eventually.. this technology will be perfected but as of now… It’s a hard pass for me just because of cost, the different issues and the fact that I really enjoy driving even though it’s my main job Monday to Monday lol. Love this video btw.
The most recent FSD beta update , v11.4 got worse 😢. I would have recommended v11.3 because it was just good enough to trust it 95% of the time … but now the update got worse . It’s now back to driving in the middle of unmarked roads and dirt roads , possible pushing oncoming traffic off the road. It also hesitates way too much on any turn. And it got worse at lane selection. v11.3 had way less issues. Current version of FSD beta is not worth it. Previous versions was 😂.
OK, I have a comment: there are a lot of drivers, each with their own driving style. This FSD is not your style of driving, this is like a taxi driver with a new car... "too slow" is typically a driver-style comment, not FSD's wrong style... The same type of comments has the old drivers over the other which are not "like them" Sincerely, I hate fast curves and fast/short accelerations/brakes... I bet also your driving style energy consumption is greater than the under FSD energy consumption...by the way...
While I'm very polite to turn signals sounds in the car... Those used in your car already annoyed the hell out of me while I watched your quick test drive summary. It's ridiculous... And it goes from someone who can tolerate sounds of emergency signals for 10's of minutes. Easily. Without a stress.
11:18 when a bad driver tries to correct a better driver. When making a turn, you're supposed to stay in your lane and then merge after 100 feet of signaling over. So many bad drivers are in the far left lane and end up in the far right lane when making their turn... that's wrong.
Sheeesh you're right.
@@dreverydayjan haha
@everydayjan haha but that's what makes human drivers human drivers. They break laws, speed, run stop signs, follow too close, turn where they shouldn't, including onto lightrail and bus only areas, cross double white and double yellow lanes, pass when it's unsafe to do so, drive in shoulders to pass traffic they shouldn't, do illegal u turns, turn into one way traffic, cut people off and brake check them, drive the same speed in other lanes so people can't get by, tailgate, etc. Human drivers are "far superior" so they get mad when others don't break the laws and speed, tailgate, etc. as well. Lol
Was coming to point this out! She gets upset that the car is doing the right thing and then says "I guess that's okay". Even when FSD does quirky things, it's still better than so many drivers out there. There should be a stringent driving test that if you don't pass, you HAVE to have FSD. The elderly (and the people around them) would benefit from this the most.
I had to look it up. Seems like @everydayjan is right but also it is recommended to be in the closest lane but if there’s only one lane turning left you can be in either lane. www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/navigating-the-roads/
The correct method for left turns is to turn to the inside (left) lane, and then switch lanes after the turn. This allows oncoming traffic turning right to make their turn safely.
Not in all driving jurisdictions - in 1992 the state that I live in made it ok to choose any lane after making a turn (unless road markings are painted otherwise), provided your vehicle positioning follows an efficient arc to intersect with the desired lane.
No, those turning right dont have the right of way, you do. So they need to wait. There's a lot of times a gas station on the right, or a street that you need to turn onto so you need to make your turn accordingly. Those making right turns need to wait their turn.
@@alexmayer8943 only idiots think it's appropriate to turn left into the outside lane, so save your breath on any other bullshit you might have to say because I'm not hearing it.
@@jaypressley ok funny guy, drive however you wish.
This video has convinced me that I'd feel safer driving next to a bunch of self driving teslas than a bad driver like this lady.
I'm a conservative/defensive driver like you are. I too will disengage FSD/AP if other cars are getting too close. But one thing James Douma said is that the car can see in all directions at once and it is better at judging distances and reacting than we are. So the car may need less of a safety margin when other cars get close or when there are several lanes to be crossed. I think that over time we can start to learn to trust the car's judgement in some things. Watching videos of other people using FSD can also help build trust.
I wish we could select a larger follow distance on highways. I live in rural New Mexico where it is less crowded and I'm able to either change my speed or pass to keep from following another car too closely.
I really like the change-lane feature where the car will change lanes for me (if it's safe) when I turn on a blinker. I always look first but I think it's much safer when we are both looking.
Again, my situation may be different than yours but I've had good luck with both AP and FSD in stop and go traffic. I've been using AP for almost two years and FSD for a few weeks. I think there is a learning process to get the most out of AP or FSD. I approach them as driver assistance, not driver replacement. I try to work with the car to get the best experience.
Setting FSD Beta profile to Chill increases following distance.
@@tommornini2470 I wish we could select a larger follow distance than is provided in the Chill FSD setting.
Thanks Everyday Jan for this informative video. I agree with your analysis. I have been testing FSD Beta since 10/2021 and have seen significant improvement on my to and from work. Recently, I have experienced zero takeovers (no accelerator inputs) to and from work on city driving only with version V11.4.4. I which never happened before. It's definitely improving but some people reported some regressions with V11.4.2 having better results. My advise is to always have one hand on the steering wheel and hover your right foot over the brake or accelerator pedal in case of emergency. Let the steering wheel spin between your fingers and apply a slight pinching force to prevent the nag. This will enable you to take over quickly. Also when there is a car behind me, I tend to hover my foot over the accelerator so that I can give the car a nudge to move faster when it is too slow and avoid frustration from the other driver. It is also a good practice in case of infrequent phantom braking. By the way, FSD Beta automatically adjusts within the lane away from an adjacent truck. This solves one of your driving issues with using basic Autopilot. One of my complaints is that FSD Beta does not allow you to confirm lane changes anymore like in previous version but instead resorted to automatic lane changes. You can cancel it by using the turn stalk but sometimes it is too late to cancel. Good job. :)
I purchased a Model 3 with FSD paid up front. After a year, I regret paying for it up front for sure! It's not near what you would think full self driving should be at this point. It's also frustrating to not have any kind of real timeline on when it's going to get to actually being FSD.
Agreed. I think it's worth $6,000 max at this time. It's definitely nowhere near worth $15,000
I wish Tesla would just say ‘Full self driving has never been achieved before. We have no idea when we or someone else will achieve it’
Completely agree. I asked for a refund and they said no. Absolutely ridiculous.
FSD would be a lot better if it didn't try to be "full" self driving. Just keep the lane, stop at stoplights, follow the lead car, and change lanes when the signal is put on by the driver. Everything FSD does where it tries to be "smart" (like braking for perceived "danger", or attempting to manage which lane it should be in, or trying to negotiate intersections) results in mistakes, especially in FSD being overly cautious, and all those constant mistakes are SUPER annoying to the Telsa driver and nearby drivers.
@@routine8 Definitely! My car on a 4 lane divided highway will decide to change over to the left lane with nobody around me! It just signals and then camps out in the left lane. I'm sick of the hard braking it does when cars cross in front of me but in a very safe distance. They need to add a button to turn off lane change all together.
I got a Long Rang 3 in 2022 with FSD, but I never use it because of the same student driver characteristics you alluded to. I don't regret getting FSD ($10k at the time) because I have not lost all hope that Tesla FSD will live up to its hyped-up promise someday. However, I do think it is unfair of Tesla to not allow me to transfer my investment in FSD to someone else if I decide to sell my 3 someday. I am editing because I forgot to tell you that I enjoyed your video, and I think you do a great job of expressing yourself with no apparent spin. Given the quality of this video, I was surprised to see your subscription number.
Same thing, I was going to buy the 15k fsd hoping to increase my resale value then I found out it’s not transferable which felt like theft. Tesla want you to think of the car like a cellphone after a couple of years it cannot keep up with the new model as far as tech go.
wait i thought if you sold the car with fsd, it gets transferred to the new owner?
I bought it in 2020 when it was one-time $6000 at purchase. Glad I got in before Tesla became so popular. It's still a long way from perfect, but I'm glad I got it.
FSD is misleading marketing. It’s never coming from Tesla until Tesla installs LiDAR since normal cameras are not enough.
FSD beta certainly is getting better, but I still feel like I should probably put one of those student driver stickers on the back of the car 😂
Haha yes, we need an FSD sticker!
11:20 well the car did the right thing to turn into the left-most lane.
Tesla needs to find a fix for the phantom braking
yeah agree on that one
I haven't experienced it in months
@Jon VB Mine has issues, I wouldn't call it completely phantom, but it brakes when somebody on a different lane is slowing down for a turn or something, almost to a full stop. I am not sure if FSD is memorizing specific roads that have high FSD traffic but that would explain why some in major cities have not had the need to intervene for days whereas people who live on less travelled cities like myself have to intervene daily. I will say 11.4.1 did improve over 11.3.6 which was un-useable for me, but intervention is still necessary at this point.
Maybe record the screen and find out why it's braking
@@superscooper18 It happped to me the other day on freeway with AP (I don't have FSD). It did phantom break when a car on next lane slowed down.
thanks for the honest and fair review. I too have some regrets getting FSD. the phantom braking drives me insane and using it in stop and go traffic….i always get so nauseous and car sick
yeah same here! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic review! I wish full self driving was further along.
Also, I'm petty sure when you make a left turn, you have to take the closest lane and then lane change to the lane you want.
Since Tesla got rid of radar, self driving has got worse with an increasing number of accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Consumer Reports now places Tesla's SD as seventh with Ford's BlueCruise as the best.
You can change lanes in the intersection and also when you turn left you must turn into the lane on the left so Tesla nailed both situations.
There are a few states which it is legal to turn left into any available lanes so long as it is safe to do so.
11:20 NOL nearest open lane is how you should always turn. Saying “it should be in this lane” so fast means you are driving poorly regularly
Based on Twitter/X and car/solar sales, I recommend waiting to buy FSD. Tesla is in a rough spot right now. I have the Y and 42 panels on my roof (98% off the grid). I predict that Tesla is going to get far more aggressive in the coming months based on yesterday's fed meeting and other geopolitical news. This might seem alarmist or negative but downsides = upsides for smart consumers. We actually need a market correction. Industry always excels in pressure. Thanks for video and humorous honesty of your driving. I will admit my driving is becoming rather dodgy as I get older with small kids! :)
Try changing Autopilot settings to Chill and it’s actually good. Also, you can enable minimal lane changes not sure of it’s available to Enhanced autopilot
Yes those are my settings, it helps some!!
When it comes to FSD, I'm too much of a natural driver to allow the car to operate itself... Would definitely give the subscription a try just for kicks, but wouldn't consider going at it until the software is fully certified and proven to work. Driving is an absolute joy to me and as I'm scheming to purchase a Model Y come next July. Parallel parking is a skill that takes an immense amount of practice. Once you get the motions into memory, it becomes a fluid action that you'd feel proud of yourself for achieving! Keep working at that.
Fair review. Important to keep in mind, FSD is beta and they are also prioritizing safety over comfort / smoothness.
if they were prioritizing safety they wouldn't be testing it with every day drivers on roads with real traffic. That's why there have been a number of deaths and too many close calls with the tech. Also why the company is under investigation.
@@MurderTwoOne nobody has died with fsd beta, it’s not the same thing as autopilot. Autopilot deaths are also statistically less than normal driving.
@@coolguysixtynine Guns in the hands of irresponsible owners kill people too. But make a gun that kills people by itself (statistically less than normal) and it will not stay on the market long.
@@Timmymao163 not going to argue that but the fact remains that FSD has not killed anyone.
Have you thought about doing some advanced driver training? Here in the UK, we can take an advanced driving test that covers motorway (freeway) driving and evasive driving skills, eg reacting to a skid etc. It would help give you confidence and improve your driving skillset, which is better (in my opinion) than relying on technology to keep you safe on the road.
Thank you for your clear and concise video. I appreciate how you anticipated questions and had thoughtful answers.
I don't regret getting FSD, but I feel that it is overpriced and it's not ready for the price it is being charged for. I have to intervene way too many times or getting other drivers upset by the way it drives.
The price is really an option play on a bet that Tesla will solve FSD in the near future (ChatGPT moment).
So many cool older vehicles on L.A. freeways (no rust) like that Volvo wagon at 5:00, and the always-slow traffic allows time to notice them. I agree that $15K for FSD which is still in unreleased "beta" after many years seems an IQ Test. I wouldn't pay $6K for Enhanced AP either since I can change lanes myself and exit freeways (entering freeways is much harder and not supported), plus Smart Summon is risky to use. For kids, a sliding door is best, and the VW e-Buzz is coming (they don't call it a minivan). At 11:25, FSD made the left turn correctly and legally. You fussed it should have swept the turn across lanes into the right lane, which is illegal. Many drivers do that, and it causes many accidents. You must turn into the closest lane (or follow lane markings when present). In CA, It isn't actually illegal to change lanes in an intersection when going straight thru, but ill-advised. It also isn't illegal to cross a solid white, unlike most States, except if a gore region. Great that AP and FSD signal all lane changes and turns. Now if we could just educate the 50% of drivers who never do (fines work).
Fantastic comparison video! Which iPhone mount do youu use?
Using Jowua's Invisible foldaway magsafe compatible.
@everydaychris made a video comparing Tesla phone mounts! - ruclips.net/video/KjjV72D-yws/видео.html&pp=ygUgZXZlcnlkYXkgY2hyaXMgdGVzbGEgcGhvbmUgbW91bnQ%3D
Yeah the center lane steering no matter what is not a good feeling. I like Waze better than Tesla Navigate.
Jan! very well-made video. Great camerawork and you articulated all your opinions and concerns really well. Thanks for helping me make a decision for my own Tesla!
If you want to improve your driving skills the last thing you need are a bunch of driver aids, modern cars do little to keep a driver's skills in tune.
11:19 That was actually the legal maneuver you're supposed to do as a driver, then when the other lane is clear, merge over, like it did. It did exactly what it and you're supposed to do.
I originally was going to get a Tesla with FSD years ago, even did a test drive. Due to a bad experience trying to get FSD to work (someone just bought the car before I did a test drive and they disabled FSD without telling me), I ended up holding off to think about it longer. I remember around this time there was a big Fear of Missing Out push to buy self drive, with lot's of false promises, that the car would pay for itself, that it was investment that could earn money back, 'a full not to buy one'. I stressed for a month due to all that FOMO. Looking back now, I'm happy I didn't get it, as the advertising doesn't align to what was actually sold.
I've gone full 360 from my views from then. The whole 'Tesla can release an update, endless upgrades' concept now terrifies. I've seen over my years that live updates, even down to my gaming consoles can 'remove features' with updates and how companies can target individuals such as a reason situation where a person was locked out of there smart home.
For those who say 'but Tesla wouldn't do that'. Your fully entitled to your opinion, but for me, the jade color glasses have worn off and I'm far less trusting. There anti right to repair pushes, such as disabling features when getting repairs done by anyone other then there dealership makes me feel contained. The fear of the unknown on how the vehicle will perform in self driving modes when it keeps getting tweaked.
I do plan on considering Tesla next time I look at getting a car. I say consider as it is fair to consider it again based on how things have changed over the years. The few people I spoke with who own a Tesla, recommend them.
Nice analysis. I'm glad you added that you probably did not have to intervene. My thought it is a gamble depending on your driving style and desired use. You are spot on regarding the enhanced autopilot and driving long distances and being tired. It is a great help. Thanks for your awesome and objective diligence on this review. It gave me a lot to think about.
Just drive your car yourself!Whats the big deal?Are all now babys?We have to clean your ass to?Silly!
@2:24 The car is already in the left side of your lane specifically because of the truck. You disengaged and moved closer to the truck.
My biggest issue as you stated FSD is still in Beta. Thats great if youre testing software programs handling inventory control, building management, video games, something that doesnt pit 1-2 ton masses against other 1-40 ton masses and bipedal animals strewn about. If it was more accurately marketed as Co-pilot for highway, ot wide open roads in less population dense areas I believe there eould be a lot less criticism on the feature. However thats not whats been stated for several years and has lead to many preventable losses had the drivers not trusted a software program to not do the wrong thing at the wrong time. And no Thunderf00t or Common Sense Skeptic sent me to comment on your or antone elses video on tesla especially FSD, you just happened to pop up today iny sunday feed. I too also prefer to be on the exit lane at minimum 1 mile prior, definitely 2 miles if there is traffic. Id also be concerned how quickly it moves from the change to a green light as even in my lesser dense region of NE Ohio, priple blow through the ted light in the other direction, sometimes large trucks and if FSD is proceeding forward quickly because the light changed green there literally no time from the acceleration it can do to miss be T-bined by a distracted or careless driver. I wish you both safe travels.
From a financial perspective purchasing FSD for 15k is not with it as it takes at least 75 months (i.e., 6.25 years) to recoup the money compared to the subscription model of $199 per month and longer if you finance the purchase price (i.e., paying interest on the loan) or if you have the 15k in a high yield savings account (i.e., 8.25 years assuming a 4% interest rate). In addition, FSD and Enhanced Autopilot have little resale value in the used Tesla market.
That's assuming tesla won't change the subscription price at all...
@@ItsBinhRepaired If they do, the cost of FSD will rise above $15 k too.
Does your financial perspective include the future subscription fee increases as the product evolves?
@@williamrogers1219Not for
those who paid in advance.
@@williamrogers1219 what's your point? You're paying 15k now. What you pay now doesn't matter if it costs 100k in the future, but if you go the subscription route, you are not grandfathered into a set price per month. What's $300 now can be $1000 in the future.
Hi. The reason I got my Tesla is exactly the same as yours. The problem is: we feel the pressure from other drivers who believe they are better than everyone else when they are not. I understand you. Don’t blame you. You shouldn’t care if people think you are not a good driver. I doubt you are a bad driver. I believe you are just paying attention to what they think. Parallel parking was always a nightmare to me until I started to care less and less about what others think. But this video actually helped me to understand I AM NOT ALONE. So I hope you feel the same way. Thanx for sharing.
Yes! Definitely not alone, thanks for watching!
I would regret any Tesla product.
Been testing out the free trial of FSD on my new model 3. I keep getting warnings about keeping my hands on the wheel. I find just resting my hands on the steering wheel to be uncomfortable. I'm still 50/50 on how i feel about it.
But great review of all the auto pilot features. The best I've seen so far.
its TRASH not even L3
@@jeffufcfanaticrosenbergit’s actually very good most of the time. But it does make incorrect decisions sometimes or people just don’t know how to use it or that it drives like a slower driver.
I got FSD before the price increased to 15k, and don't have any regrets (mainly for that reason tbh).
That said though, experiencing the evolution of beta after every sw release has been pretty fascinating. There's actually nothing else like it - eg. When you disengage FSD, you can send a short voice note to the engineers explaining why. That voice note is then transcribed and the associated cam footage can be included in subsequent ML training models for an upcoming release (11.4.2 to 11.4.3 is a prime example....)
Nothing else like it
Too bad it's expensive AF tho. Quite telling on how the robotaxi model will fit into society
come back in 5 years, I bet it will still be in beta version, in Any city
Shut up jan.
If you want FSD without paying for it just but a used Tesla. I just got a 2018 P100D with FSD already installed for just $42,600 with 55,320 miles.
Thank you for posting very informative and I'm looking to buy a Model X this year so this helps me very much.
Glad it was helpful!
It seems like you heavily depend on the car to do the driving for you. Even with fsd out it will not work 100% of the time. Especially in the night since the sensors have been replaced with cameras. Instead of using the car as a crutch, you should improve your driving skills. Then use these features in fruition of that, not to depend on them.
Hang in there, have hope.
Despite its downfalls I love my FSD 😅
Your fsd is better than 99% of drivers. For 15k it probably saves your life and the life of others. What a bargain. Great choice
Excellent review Jan. I am contemplating purchase of an M3 (as soon as they release the upgrade version) and have been debating about the self driving options. Your experiences are illuminating. Thanks
Thanks! Check out Everyday Chris's channel (if you havent already) for a LOT more information about Teslas!
I thought you meant a BMW M3 here at first!
The BMW M3 hold its value way better!
Today was first day FSD, at stop light it block turning intersection and before entering a merging lane it stopped first instead of entering into merging only lane directly which I think is safe for that situation. It also stopped on the highway instead of passing a bike with no real bike lane, it was really scary..
Tiger momming the Telsa auto-pilot... 😂☠
It's cheaper to learn how to drive properly like everyone else....
I'd like to point out that software may improve but hardware limitation is real, so you're not necessarily guaranteed to get the same enhancements simply because your old Tesla simply cannot perform the complicated computation. All this to say, I wouldn't necessarily rely on "you can upgrade software later" .
Exactly
Fantastic, thank you.
This is a reasonable review by an anxious driver reviewing the various features, and kudos on a lot of good guidance in there. However, it should be noted that Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) is $6k, but while Full-Self-Driving (FSD) may be $15k, it includes EAP so it's really only $8k more after that. Teslas were a way better value when EAP was a standard feature. I advise anxious drivers to get EAP but hold off on buying FSD because they won't use it. Of course, when it gets better, it can be added later for $8k.
Drivers with anxiety are going to have more disengagements with all of these technologies, which does have higher correlation with more accidents than if the technology were left on but will still be safer than not using it at all. Still, it's clear you've built some trust over time with the strengths and weaknesses of Autopilot and EAP, but with FSD, your review was more that of a first time experience. You're not able to demonstrate any of the strengths and weaknesses of that tech, even though it's gotten miles ahead of EAP on freeways. It's totally different technology so it makes even better decisions in that environment and is quite customizable to be conservative to aggressive. Some of the issues you have with EAP may go away on freeways even.
I've observed that anxious drivers will never turn FSD on after their first experience with it because it does require a LOT of time allowing it to do it's thing to build trust enough to know what it can handle and what it cannot. Once you know what it's good at and what it's not, I've found my anxiety goes down as my role moves away from having to deal with every element on the road to mostly just copilot watching to make sure this student driver doesn't do anything too dumb. Your mileage may vary. For me, the car drives 99.5% of the time in FSD and I handle the last 0.5%. I am a lot less stressed on the road in that role because I'm less worried as much about what other drivers are doing because I've got a machine watching all 360 degrees around me and if I'm ever in doubt, the visual display shows everything it sees before I could turn my head. Also, if your anxiety is height-related, like driving over bridges, FSD is essential.
so stressful using it..
great feed back. thank you!
Tesla is ignoring older Model S owners. The latest update that MCU1 owners have is from February of last year; 2022.8. Over a year old! Owners of older Teslas haven't had any updates for a looooong time. Even owners who originally paid thousands of dollars for FSD can't access FSDbeta because Tesla is ignoring owners of older cars with MCU1.
FSD in Europe is 7500 euro,that's if they ever get it passed in the EU.
IMO FSD has gotten worse, especially after it switched to camera vision. I can never activate it any more.
Thanks for the video. I’m skipping FSD.
Yes you are a very conservative, nervous, and anxious driver, but I think you know that Tesla will get you to your destination safely.
Auto pilot definitely work on more than just freeways.
Thank you. I am learning a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Jan, Appreciate your video and your honesty regarding your experience and take on FSD beta. However, I have to point out something important because it's safety related. Using FSD beta when you are monitoring (including necessary interventions) actually makes you safer than driving yourself without FSD beta. This isn't a hunch. The evidence is bearing this out. Tesla started publishing miles driven between accidents and compared FSD beta engaged vs Teslas without FSD beta engaged. We now know that having it engaged is safer in that statistically cars using it drive significantly further between accidents. The reason for this is that when one uses it you have the benefit of redundant driving systems (FSD beta and driver) working together to make the drive safer than either one of the systems working alone. Such redundancy is very powerful. Engineers use redundancy in designing safety critical systems all the time to improve reliability. I think what many people understandably don't realize is that their comfort level (or lack thereof) while using FSD beta does not really correlate to degree of safety during a drive. So while using FSD beta at first feels a bit uncomfortable or even "scary" to some they are very likely safer using it (again as long as you are truly monitoring) than not. Another way of thinking of this is that, when engaged, FSD beta effectively transforms the driving system (hardware) from one brain with two cameras (driver) to a total of 2 brains with 10 cameras (FSD beta plus driver). With respect to comfort in using FSD beta, my wife and I have been using it for about 1.5 years. No question that for the first year it was sketchy from a comfort level for many people and frankly no one but Tesla knew the true safety stats in early days. However, now it has gotten much better overall including comfort and the safety stats are now known to be better when using it. Respectfully suggest you give it a second chance to enhance your safety. To become more comfortable with it just takes practice like over a few months (not days) You basically learn with time when to trust it and when an intervention is needed. You eventually get to the point where you never want to drive without it. The significant increase in safety alone makes FSD beta priceless. So have to disagree with your suggestion to spend that money elsewhere. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for the tips!
The human drivers rescue the about-to-crash Tesla when it is in full safe driving mode! That corrupts your data! When the human is driving, they have no one to rescue them!
I'm pretty sure buying full self drive to "improve" someone's driving ability is a big ol' red flag. Instead, try booking some time with a driving/racing instructor to help you drive better, safer, and more confidently. Thanks for the video and all the best.
Fsd improved so much last month
It is amazing I will say
I see the progress that will rich 100% very soon
I hope so!
You want FSD?Take the Bus!
At the 11:30 min mark, the Tesla did exactly what it was supposed to do - turn into the leftmost lane. You'd get a ticket in some states if you turn into the right lane like you said it was supposed to do. Just food for thought...other than that, thanks for sharing!
There looks to be only one left turn lane so it probably doesn't matter then
Exactly
6G's for a freeway feature not worth it and 15G's for full self drive is ridiculous. Also 199 a month for a subscription is still too high.
I like your video as it’s very informative. I’m in the market and about to buy my first ev for commuting. Will either get a model 3 or s. This was helpful. If you haven’t already perhaps do more videos of pros and cons of your ownership overall. I’m nervous of making the purchase but I don’t want to continue to put mileage on my new suv in order to preserve it more.
Great info! Cool feature, but FSD will likely always be in beta, so when it fails, you cannot get your money back and you are responsible for what happens.
what is the clean wood bar in the car it looks so clean an miniamal is that a diy or is it a option
its @everydaychris wood stick on! He has a video on it and a promo code! We love it!
Had you bought a used Tesla with FSD, you would have gotten it free and potentially acceleration boost to help you with the “drivers that won’t let you in” problem. That’s why I got my Tesla, people don’t let me in, I gap virtually every car on the road and let myself in.
11:46 “Go” lol the Robot overloads might spare ya
you should do an updated review of the FSD soon.
What she said 4:30 Rear Ended makes no sense at all.... How come she needs to pay for car in front? It all depends how FAST the car REAR END the person.
Lmao it's so funny watching her scold Tesla during the FSD test 🤣🤣🤣
The FSD price is out-of-this-world expensive, but Elon probably hopes that people will buy it out of the fear that the price will increase even more. However, the price is already three times beyond the price of buying another cheap used car on top of already buying a Tesla, which makes me wonder if he has lost touch with ordinary people’s economic capabilities.
Thanks for the honest thoughts and video everyday jan!
I think the biggest problem of FSD developers are, I guess, they are not good drivers. They do not know what is good driving. They implemented swerving out before making a turn. This is typical bad driving habit.
Hi Jan, thank you for the video. I'm stressed because Tesla let me test drive a Model X last weekend, I LOVED it and want to order one, But the falcon door on the drivers side would never close all the way until I tried again the second time and there was a squeaking noise in the back over every bump. I keep seeing RUclips videos about the same issues not being fixed. I want to try everything including the driving software, but I'm afraid of making this purchase and the service department not being able to fix these issues. Again, I LOVED the model X, but I would be so disappointed if simple items like closing a door or noises in the cabin would persist. Not sure what to do??
Still driving RM7000 Saga LMST tht I bought 7 years ago.
Maybe soon , a Tesla in future.
Thank you Jan! I was on the fence about FSD. I love your videos because you are always so clear and concise. Looking forward to your next videos. Aloha
You convinced me! Thanks! Oh and $15k, that is a crazy number...no thanks.
Tesla's auto pilot is 3 lanes over from the right exit lane one mile away from the exit ramp and that makes you nervous!!! Here is a pro tip - drive in the right lane 100% of the time and you won't have to make any of those stressful decisions!!! Better yet, stay off of the freeways completely and you won't have to deal with high speed traffic and high speed decisions!!!
Ive driven FSD over 30k miles through over 25 different states. Does it have issue? Yep. But I will gladly pay for it again on my next Tesla.
Can you not transfer it to another tesla?
@@rav8149nope
FSD is worth a try as it iis quite perfect now !
You are too nervous , just chill out a bit . ^^
Thanks for the awesome review! Very informative and thorough!
Thanks for watching!
I see your steering wheel weight.. smart girl! It makes the nags mostly go away which is key to using AP/FSDb
All all Teslas built with enhanced auto pilot? When you pay upfront your unlocking EAP for life versus a subscription model?
I like your authenticity 👍 Thank you for your insight
Very helpful,and clear explanation of driving systems. Thanks.
You need more time to get used to and trust fsd. Apparently you are not there yet.11:31 fsd is creeping forward for visibility and a good human driver would do so.
well done on the video.!
i am also a conservative driver… don’t knock ur skills - as safe is better than sorry
First off… I think you can be a so much better driver than you think. It’s all practice and repetition and making everything about driving as close to natural / muscle memory as possible but of course combined with hand eye foot/feet coordination.
You stated some basic safety things about driving that make me think you are a good driver.
Tesla (and other companies) should really change the name from auto pilot or self drive to something else.
Buyers should of course do their own research before spending that money which should be a given.
Phantom braking issues should definitely be addressed. Eventually.. this technology will be perfected but as of now… It’s a hard pass for me just because of cost, the different issues and the fact that I really enjoy driving even though it’s my main job Monday to Monday lol.
Love this video btw.
Is autosteer on city streets available to everyone yet?
Not yet!
You’re seated waaaay too close to the wheel. Move you’re chair back and you’ll wildly improve your driving skills
Incorrect. Standard autopilot works on or off of interstates
Love this, couple’s reviews regarding Tesla. Thank you for all that you both do.
The most recent FSD beta update , v11.4 got worse 😢. I would have recommended v11.3 because it was just good enough to trust it 95% of the time … but now the update got worse . It’s now back to driving in the middle of unmarked roads and dirt roads , possible pushing oncoming traffic off the road. It also hesitates way too much on any turn. And it got worse at lane selection. v11.3 had way less issues. Current version of FSD beta is not worth it. Previous versions was 😂.
damn.. I am on 11.3 LOL! I thought 11.4 would be better.. thanks for info
Perhaps the cost of self driving is to cover liability insurance for Tesla.
What’s that phone mount that you have attached to the screen ?
Great vid, thanks for sharing
OK, I have a comment: there are a lot of drivers, each with their own driving style. This FSD is not your style of driving, this is like a taxi driver with a new car... "too slow" is typically a driver-style comment, not FSD's wrong style... The same type of comments has the old drivers over the other which are not "like them" Sincerely, I hate fast curves and fast/short accelerations/brakes... I bet also your driving style energy consumption is greater than the under FSD energy consumption...by the way...
While I'm very polite to turn signals sounds in the car... Those used in your car already annoyed the hell out of me while I watched your quick test drive summary. It's ridiculous...
And it goes from someone who can tolerate sounds of emergency signals for 10's of minutes. Easily. Without a stress.
