Nope. Have had every Tesla model, and a BMW with Pro-Plus. As you've all said: They're hands-free, not attention free. So, my hands will stay on the wheel so that I can respond more quickly to things needing "attention".

[@shaneruljancich6360]

ya, can't see how the Tesla was placed 4th when it did things none of the other could and did better on the highway as well. Pretty arbitrary to say its not hands free because you have to touch the wheel. Would the ranking be different if you call it best Driver Assistance?

[@boricuacubano_2023]

Bro, the car hesitates way too much, even on surface streets it takes too long to make crucial decisions, which would lead to a major accident. Bad enough humans drive like they have brain damage or something but now you got a car that can't even make a simple determination about when it's safe to cross an intersection the tesla itself chose to take. That's a wonky delusional day dream. They are giving tesla an A for effort but it's still got some bugs to work out. The Cadillac GM super cruise, was confident about the decisions it made and didn't need the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel the whole time. Tesla can't always win every fight. Keep in mind Tesla is being kind of a dick for requiring you to keep your hands on the wheel the whole time even though they want you to have complete confidence that there full self driving car will keep you safe. The idea of a self driving car is supposed to bring a smile to ones face because it let's you know that you can sit back and let it handle the stressful driving situations and get you to where you need to go safely and worry free

I currently have FSD Beta that has incorporated Autopilot into one software package. My son lives 50 miles away and the car routinely drives me to and from his house with absolutely no interventions. City streets, highway, interchange transitions, doesn’t matter.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Can you give us other facts about your test case? City state time of day ? This would let us know whether the traffic situations are similar to Los Angeles, as the traffic here is quite intense

[@jgalexander510]

I use the “free” included version of Autopilot with my Y, in LA, on the 405 and city streets. I have to do all the turning and lane changes, but it works well in traffic. Windy roads are a bit of a challenge for the Tesla, but freeways and city streets are pretty solid.

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

@@LafemmebearMusic my son used to live in Costa Mesa. My wife and I would travel down fro the Central Coast, a 4 hour trip one way, and FSD was a godsend in stop and go traffic. We don’t drive in stop and go traffic often so we don’t have the stamina a daily driver in Los Angeles has. But the Tesla takes care of EVERY braking and acceleration needed. I still have to change lanes as necessary because the FSD isn’t dealing with RATIONAL and COMPETENT fellow drivers. However, it’s the most relaxed way to deal with stop and go LA traffic.

[@gman2352]

You missed some features and positives of the Tesla FSD. First it is not limited to any roads or specific geo fenced roads.

[@djand77]

We have a subscription to FSD and it takes a little bit to get used to how it does things. For example, the intersection at 19:38 you can control when it starts across by giving some throttle. FSD takes throttle and turn signal inputs without ending the driving session. Also, you only have to kep one hand on the wheel, and not even constantly. I often just use the volume scroll wheel to let it know that I'm paying attention.

[@zzmkdw]

LOL. if you have to give it inputs to achieve the desired outcome you are driving. It's not FSD.

[@djand77]

@@zzmkdw You would be correct if I HAD to give inputs. But as in the video, the car did navigate across, and it would have crossed earlier during the first traffic gap if he had given some throttle. My point is that you can nudge the car if it is indecisive. I have been driving with FSD and my wife in the passenger seat had no idea until I cancelled it to make an unscheduled stop. The driver can make it a much smoother experience after getting familiar with it and being able to drive on any road is really amazing. Have a great day

Correction. At 7:53 the BMW system is NOT for the entire life of the car. On an X5 for example is $5,300 for 8 years of Highway Assistant. After 8 years from vehicle sale the system is deactivated. It includes: Parking Assistance, Premium Package and Drivers Assistance Professional Package. The Fine Print from BMW USA: Included in this package is the Highway Assistant feature which is provided for the first 8 years after vehicle sale. The feature will disable after that time. HA can be used only on controlled access highways. Not available in Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico or Hawaii. Weather, traffic, road conditions, availability of high definition map data and other factors may affect performance. HA helps drivers with the driving tasks but is not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Drivers must always pay attention to vehicle alerts, warnings, road condition, road objects, other drivers, pedestrians and take corrective action if required. Failure to pay attention and use proper care may result in injury, death or damage to property. Use of HA may not be permissible in certain states. Please refer to your owner’s manual or contact your local BMW center for more information.

[@ninzaa12]

Wow, there really are 2 ways to look at this, as a driver assistance package and hands free driving. Agreed model y doesnt have full hands free unlike the others but isnt it superior tech as you mentioned in every driving circumstances on the highway? Would you ding the system because you gotta keep a hand on it ?? (You dont beed 2 hands at 9 and 3, just one hand at 6 works too) Also Autopilot is free with all Teslas that you fail to mention whereas in all the others you have to pay for an assistence package. Autopilot does lane and maintenance the lane like the others. Which by default mkaes the tesla a better bang for the buck.

[@mobleyMobley]

Yup

[@SanePerson1]

I have full FSD beta for my LR AWD Model 3 (purchased late 2019 for $6K). A couple of things you should have noted: while your current Ford system was not bad, you said that your older Lightening system is awful. There's no excuse for that - any modern computer-controlled system should be fixed with an over-the-air update. I felt that your commentary on FSD was mostly fair (with the admission that your surface street anxiety my well be your problem, not FSD's problem). Your having given the most advanced system the lowest rating because it isn't technically "hands-free" was, frankly, stupid. Every FSD user knows that they can be hands-free for several seconds without getting anywhere near "Tesla Jail" - and IMHO, none of these systems should have drivers being hands-free for longer than that anyway. So you downgraded it on the basis of a stupid technicality. That DOESN'T mean that FSD doesn't sometimes do scary things. Phantom braking is still a thing - on a road trip of several hundred miles, it'll probably happen once or twice - and I always wonder, "What if someone had been behind me?" When I'm driving with full navigation on an uncrowded semi-rural highway, FSD can suddenly decide to take an exit not on my route for no discernable reason and I have to jerk the car back onto the main lane. The anxiety you experienced on taking a left across right-bound traffic on a busy street - that's real too - and, conversely, I sometimes have to goose the car to properly take it's turn at 4-way stops. Honestly, I find complicated surface street FSD use too anxiety-inducing to use routinely - and there's no way I'm going to let it navigate an area under construction.

[@1flash3571]

Don't even bother with them. They are BIASED against Tesla since they don't advertise with them. They basically don't make money off of Tesla.

[@DrKnowsMore]

Given how easy it is to implement the hands-free solution it is pretty unforgivable with the most advanced system doesn't have that. Let's get real.

[@SanePerson1]

@@DrKnowsMore There is nothing further to do to implement "hands-free" driving if all FSD did was lane keeping. It does that fine and even just Autopilot has been there for couple of years. The reason FSD beta isn't "hands free" is, IMO, ONLY about Tesla thinking they can avoid legal liability for accidents by forcing drivers to tug on the steering wheel every few seconds to prove that they're paying attention. By hyping the system in stupidly calling it "Full Self Driving", they're doing legal butt-covering; I think that's all.

[@Zripas]

@@DrKnowsMore Not having hands free is legally required by law. And you don't need to keep your hands on wheel all the time while using Tesla FSD system, it will only ask you to confirm that you are still paying attention from time to time.

Just so there's no confusion about the cost of Tesla's software: Autopilot for highways is included in the price of the car. Enhanced Autopilot is $6k. FSD is $12K. You can also use Autopilot on city streets if you like, but it will not be nearly as good as FSD. Nor as "comfortable". Normal Autopilot will also not do turns; etc.

However in practice I never keep my hands on the wheel (especially on freeways). I just flick the volume switch on the wheel when it nags. Surface streets are waaaay more challenging than freeways which is why no other system even attempts to do surface streets.

I have a Tesla FSD and it's by far the best self-driving system out there right now. I just wish other companies licensed Tesla's self driving so I could get a nicer car.

[@chillout1109]

Because in this video, they were testing hands-free systems. Although it can drive well on and off the highway, the Tesla FSD is not really a hands free system. You need to have your hands on the steering wheel at all times unlike in the other cars where you can actually sit back, take your hands off the steering for ages, and just relax. That's where the Model Y lost most of its points.

[@kestrelglassingsystems6704]

Based on the terrible hand offs, the others probably shouldn’t be hands free. And making that a condition of winning the test is idiotic as a premise. Creating a loophole where your best performer can’t win is cooking the books. The outcome was pre-determined.

[@tkbuz]

“You can’t win a hands free driving contest if you don’t have hands free driving”. Pre-determination at its best. Note to reviewer: you don’t need to white knuckle the wheel with both hands while using FSD. Just rest your left hand at about 7 o’clock, and enjoy the magic.

Wow! After the first minute of the guy incorrectly describing how Tesla’s FSD operates I immediately distrusted the info given on ALL the other cars! Though I’m not a Tesla owner, I have rented 3 on Turo, with another rental coming up in December. All trips have been over 5 day long rentals, with my next one being a 7 day rental. I can categorically state that his description about having to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times while FSD is engaged is absolutely incorrect! Now the question is, why was his info incorrect? Was it due to incompetence on his part or done on purpose? Either way, what I thought, or hoped to be an informative comparison of various auto manufacturer’s self driving systems, I’ve ended up questioning the accuracy of their critiques on ALL on the cars in this video! Right after this video, a video by Marques Brownlee came on, featuring Tesla Self driving. He’s in a Tesla Model S, with a camera mounted to the inside of the windshield pointed so you can see him and most of the steering wheel, and another camera I’m guessing hanging from the inside of the glass roof just behind his right shoulder so you can see the steering wheel, the screens, and the foot pedals. I’m at the 3:12 mark, with MAYBE 15 seconds at the beginning, maybe less, where he activates FSD and takes off in the city. His hand are sometimes close to the steering wheel as he’s not sure what the car will do, so he wants to be prepared to take over, but he never actually touches the steering wheel. MOST of the time though, his hand are on his thighs. The car is making left and right hand turns and automatically turning on its blinkers. It’s not until the 3:04 mark that the car, as I too have experienced, notified him that it requires him to TOUCH the steering wheel so that it can confirm that he is paying attention. Just as I’ve experienced, this is TOTALLY different from what the Edmonds test driver stated about you HAVE to keep your hands on the steering Wheel when using Tesla’s FSD. It’s sad when a big company like Edmonds can’t be trusted to get their facts right! Even worse when they take those incorrect facts and disseminate them to the public! I hope someone from Edmonds reads this comment! Again, Marques has both his hands on his thighs or even holding his phone to film a closeup of the dash screen!

Tesla needs a test with basic Autopilot and its Enhanced versions

[@cgamiga]

Exactly, since except for auto-lane-changes, FREE Tesla standard autopilot already meets or beats all the other hands-free systems (except, of course, for not being fully "hands-free", which to me is ok as I WANT to be hands-on just in case an oopsie moment happens.) It would be more fair to compare the $6k Enhanced AutoPilot vs the other systems, as it also does auto lane changes as explained, and matches the other systems exactly. FSD is a completely different beast as it NAVIGATES you COMPLETELY even on city streets, turns, stop signs/lights, etc... all the other hands-free systems are just highway assistants. They do NOT navigate (take turns/exist) at ALL. It is SELF DRIVING (almost), not a driver assist.

[@Areku06]

I love my autopilot on the Tesla. This test probably paid by GM.

[@Soh90]

I have a Tesla Model Y. The FSD on the highway is superb. I definitely don't use a steering wheel weight to defeat the hands-on nature of the system. Definitely don't... In the city however, FSD is about as good as letting your 12 year old kid drive. It'll get you there for sure... but it also might not lol. Overall I agree with the ranking, 4th for the Tesla because you can't be "Full self driving" if you don't technically drive yourself. 3rd for the Ford, 2nd for the Bimmer and 1st for the Cadillac.

[@Hugo-py2ce]

I don't agree, I believe Tesla is #1. The other systems are way worse. They're the leader, they don't have mapped highways or geofencing where you can only do it in certain areas. The other systems are a joke honestly.

[@Soh90]

@@Hugo-py2ce But the Tesla’s system isn’t hands off so it’s a loss in my book. Blame the early adopters who un-alived themselves due to their own negligence. Now Tesla treats us like babies. The system constantly yells at me. 99.9% of the time I’m holding the wheel, and the system STILL yells at me to “add slight force”. It’s f**king irritating. That’s why I use a steering wheel weight to defeat it. But I shouldn’t have to do that. If I paid for FSD whether it was the $10,000 up charge or the $200/month subscription, I should GET FULL SELF DRIVING. Anything less is a last place finish in my book. Again, I own a Tesla. And I think it’s a loss until Tesla allows their drivers to be adults.

[@GoatDirt]

For the systems that only work on some highways, that is much worse than Teslas system that works literally everywhere (but requires touching the wheel every minute or so). Teslas system is unmatched in it's feature set

No, you have to keep your hands on the wheel at ALL times, and where it does do city driving it’s pretty darn sketchy. Sounds like a system I’d rather not bother with. If I have to pay attention AND have my hands on the wheel, I might as well just drive.

@@Shaqshaq_pov I like Elon and I like Tesla, but the way they’ve strung people along, misrepresented their technology, and beta-tested their software and sensor suite on the public while charging extortionate amounts of money for it and still reserving the “right” to not unlock the feature until the owner passes a Tesla-defined “driving test” based on vague criteria… you’d better bet I’ll bash on it!!! Me and MANY others. Yes I get the tech is in its infancy, and yes I understand it’s getting better all the time, which is PRECISELY why Tesla deserves criticism. I loathe people who are so self-important that they expect the world to conform to and compensate for their shortcomings, and nowhere is this more obvious than observing how people drive. Now we’re seeing cars attempting to drive themselves and doing a poor job of it, while others are on the road having to deal with it. Tesla started this whole “self driving” autonomous vehicle nonsense way before it was ready for public consumption. They’re firmly in the crosshairs when it comes to any of the deserved criticism these systems get. I have friends who own Teslas, one of whom just bought a MY Performance. Coming from a 2015 BMW 3-Series, he’s extremely disappointed in how oversold Tesla’s “tech” is. He likes the car overall and doesn’t regret his purchase, but he calls a spade a spade. Again, I like Tesla and I hope they continue to do well, but that certainly doesn’t mean that every move they make deserves unscrutinized praise. Give me a break!

And how did you verify that exactly? Have you tested every single brand's ADAS system?

[@nimasahabi9421]

⁠@@yissibiiyteI honesty haven’t tried all of them out. I tested a few of them out and they are good drivers assistant features but none of them are full self driving. I don’t compare them to each other, I compare them to how I or other humans drive. Tesla’s FSD V13 is almost as good as me and other human drivers. It still struggles in some situations but it can perform unprotected lefts better than I can. It’s also incredibly smooth. It’s predicted that Tesla FSD will become unsupervised in California and Texas in 2025 and from what I see, it’s definitely a possibility.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@nimasahabi9421 fair enough, I'm just saying you shouldn't make such sweeping statements without the experience to verify them. From my experience Nio's system is more advanced and reliable.

Meanwhile my 15-year old Honda's radar has never once failed to detect an obstruction.

[@nimasahabi9421]

@@yissibiiyte there are lots of videos of teslas doing wrong and dangerous stuff but those are with the old hardware and old software. The new FSD suite includes much better cameras and a superior computer for image and data processing. Right now there are videos comparing FSD V13 to Waymo ( The only level 4 system in the US) and many times FSD comes out on top. I don’t know about Nio’s system since they are not sold in the US. But even in this video, they admitted that Tesla has the best system. It just wasn’t hands free. In my opinion ( I could be wrong though I hope not), the issue wasn’t lack of radar that prevented Tesla from seeing obstructionsbut rather the lower quality cameras. The new HW4 cameras see obstructions very well and at nights sometimes better than me. I live in LA so we don’t have much rain here. I don’t know how they will solve for autonomy without radar in rainy or snowy environments.

Summary of video : Best self-driving on highway - Edmunds said it was the 3-year old Tesla Model Y with FSD Beta package. Best self-driving on city streets - Edmunds said it was the 3-year old Tesla Model Y with FSD Beta package. But Tesla asks you to keep hands on the wheel, and Tesla enforces that one hand is pulling on the wheel every 30 seconds or so. Would have been better to test a 2023 Tesla with the new wider-view cameras and upgraded processing that comes free and standard on S/X/Y. Should do one test with completely free and included autopilot package, and then another test with $199 per month FSD Beta package. You should have also tested night driving and longer 30-minute drives because most of America does not drive on freeways like the 405.

They don't need super specific conditions at all? Supercruise and Bluecruise work flawlessly regardless of weather or external conditions, because they are pre-mapped. Tesla's are way more finicky and require much better conditions. Their camera-only system is awful in misty or rainy weather, because they literally cannot see. That's the entire point of radar and/or lidar, visibility isn't an issue.

[@theclutch19]

@@yissibiiyte you said, "Supercruise and Bluecruise work flawlessly regardless of weather or external conditions"??? Pre-mapping of the roads has nothing to do with the system's intelligence. It would appear that you don't have any or have very limited experience with these. While I will agree that the camera-only Tesla is limited in rainy weather, there is NO WAY in hell that I would put my life on the line with the Super/Bluecruise under the same conditions. At least the Tesla knows when it's limited, tells you as such and can "think outside the box" of pre-mapped conditions. The Tesla is a much smarter system than the Super/Bluecruise such that GM CEO Marra just admitted last month that Tesla has the right strategy. So go figure...

[@yissibiiyte]

@theclutch19 are you trying to make it sound like the Tesla being limited is a good thing? It also sounds like you have no idea what radar even is or how it works. Radar uses soundwaves, unlike a camera which uses vision. Cameras can be blinded by bad weather, they have no depth perception, and are bad at processing object permanence. All of which doesn't apply to radar. Bad weather conditions are irrelevant to a radar system because it doesn't depend on visibility. Radar can detect objects with 100% accuracy at all times, unlike a Tesla. There are countless videos of Tesla's driving into walls, and suddenly stopping on the highway because they imagined something that didn't exist. Meanwhile my 15-year old Honda's radar has never once failed to detect an obstruction, and has never suddenly stopped driving for no reason. You yourself just highlighted how backwards Tesla's camera-only system is.

[@theclutch19]

@@yissibiiyte I have a PE certification so I know quite a bit about radar going back 40 years. Unfortunately, you're assumption is wrong...radar doesn't use soundwaves in cars. They use radio and light waves (technically not radar, but used in a similar capacity). I didn't mean to make it sound like using Tesla vision-only as the best solution. I think it should be a combination vision+radar. But if I were to choose between GM/Ford's tech vs Tesla's vision-only tech today, there's no contest that I'd pick Tesla's. Also, with your two eyes, you certainly have depth perception. :) Tesla has 8 to 9 eyes (cameras) compared to our two... Does it do depth perception as good as radar/lidar? Hell no. Also, the radar that you're quoting that can detect objects 100% accurate all the time is NOT the same radar that's in the cars; unless you want the avg cars to cost $500k. Lastly, I have logged about 12k miles on FSD with the Tesla and about 5k Supercruise miles. So I actually have firsthand experience between the two. Hope that helps.

Full Self Driving software is in BETA. being in the beta program means you are subjected to bugs and issues as you provide feedback and training for Tesla to use to make the system safer. It's not flawless at all, but anybody driving it for a few months can see obvious progress improvements. I have been using FSD Beta since October 2021, so about 2 years now and it is CRAZY how much it has improved in 2 years. It's very clear to see that in the relatively near future, it will reach a point where it can drive at least AS SAFE as a human in any environment. From that point on, it will continue to improve until it drives at a level that is MUCH safer than a human. as technology gets better, higher resolution camers get cheaper, and Tesla is able to obtain more video data to train the systems on, FSD software will eventually become much much much safer than a human. At this point, it will be considered more dangerous to have a human driving than a computer. I can't wait until that happens because it will save thousands of lives a year.

[@eastwoodisme]

Tesla DOES NOT require you to keep your hands on the wheel IF you pay attention to the road. I watched this video before buying my Tesla. I think you all should redo this competition or post an update. As long as you’re attentive, Tesla does not ask you to touch the steering wheel at all.

FSD isn’t 2x the cost of standard autopilot. It’s 2x the cost of Advanced Autopilot. Standard Autopilot is free with any Tesla. Also, giving Tesla 4th place is absurd given it outperformed all others on the highway, and has features the others don’t. If you don’t like the way FSD drives on the street, then don’t use it that way. Tesla making you keep your hands on the wheel seems safer than relying on the user to come back to attention in a fraction of a second like the other machines. They aren’t more capable, just more permissive. Making truly hands free a condition of scoring over last place was cooking the books. You guys could have filmed the end scene first.

Tesla is laser focused on safety, which is why they require that you keep your hands on the wheel. It is a safety system set up to ensure that you are paying attention to the road. Your tests showed that it was the most stable and most reliable on the highway, which begs the question... why do the other systems allow you to drive without your hands on the wheel? That should be a negative for them, not a positive!! I have been driving FSD for years. It drives me anywhere I need to go and I rarely need to intervene. It navigates on highways, changes lanes, exits, merges, navigates construction zones, works in heavy traffic, in light traffic, at night, during the day, in bad weather. It is absolutely incredible. It is not geofenced. It works on all kinds of streets. It deals with detours. It has the best safety and warning systems. Your own tests demonstrated this! Yes, you have to keep your hands on the wheel because it is still in beta and is not ready to be used unsupervised. But NONE of these systems are ready for unsupervised driving. The fact that Tesla sends you to Tesla Jail if you don't pay attention IS A GOOD THING. And, just to be clear... Tesla Jail is not permanent. You get the system back after a few weeks. It is just a reminder that Tesla takes safety much more seriously than the other systems. You really had to bend over backwards to rate FSD 4th. It performed best in your tests and is the only system that works everywhere, including city streets. It literally drives you from point A to point B safely, with few if any interventions required. It won in every category, so, of course... 4th of 4. Might you have another agenda?

Why does the Lightening have a different version of BlueCruise than the Mach-E. Doesn't Ford update all the vehicles with the latest version of BlueCruise? If the BMW system requires the driver to signal to change lanes it is not automatic lane changes. Tesla drivers would call that an intervention and not an automatic lane change.

As for the BMW and Mercedes systems which are similar in that it has to tell you when the service is available, I would argue that that design is really poor and unsafe because someone's constantly looking at the dashboard waiting for the notification when they should be paying attention.

@@johntyson I thought I just saw the car fully driving itself to its destination with no disengagements or driver input.... I must be seeing things...🤔

[@WilliamEnwerem-o5z]

I think it'd be cool all through the medical field if we had self-driving cars for all the clients

[@teammuncy]

Self-driving cars discourage or decrease the frequency of driving experience. Imagine how much less practice drivers of the future will have when it comes to basic skills like lane changes, merging, and following in traffic.

Tesla's FSD just destroys every other autonomous driving system, it's not even close. My 2022 Model 3 drove me home from the gym tonight, and it was perfect. I did intervene to change lanes once, but that was my preference. The car would have done it later on its own.

The first guy got so excited over nothing. He shouldn’t be driving if little things make his heart race.

[@RuTube981]

Wait so the Tesla drove you in LA traffic all the way to your destination and you gave it 4th place because it’s asking you to put your hands on the steering wheel the whole time (which is safer)?? That’s unbelievable. The other cars you NEED to have your hands on the wheel because they just give up during a simple lane change. Absolutely horrible verdict.

Throwing shade at Tesla even tho it performed the best. LOL. But I guess if “hands free” is the name if the game…… 🙄 Please do another video about what cars can drive in the city. LOL. Oh, Tesla FTW. Cheers 🍻

[@robt8869]

Tesla has the right philosophy. Design a system to drive anywhere. The rest dont scale.

[@AdamJakowenko]

It will never be able to do this with cameras alone. Unless they add radar and LiDAR it will quickly get leapfrogged by others (such as Mercedes, which has already beaten Tesla to Level 3 driving in the US because it uses more sensors)

[@Teddy_M85]

@@AdamJakowenko Let us know when MB can Level 3 over 40mph with their fancy radars....🤦‍♂

[@robt8869]

@AdamJakowenko not sure how you have an opinion. What do you know about self driving? I believe there are professionals who would disagree with you.

[@Hugo-py2ce]

There's no dought Tesla is the best, they are so much more advanced than the other manufacturers. Tesla is the leader in efficiency and technology. I've made up my mind.

[@dave_5785]

what version of FSDBeta was used? Thanks for the honest review.

[@Viper3dc]

So conclusion.. the Tesla did it all the best but was placed 4th place because its not hands only? correct? I would not wage the hands off/on part that high as its almost the same. It doesnt change the fact that you need to be the "driver" all the time and you have to watch the traffic all the time. And why did you not tell the FSD Version you used for the test? Was it already a 12.x Version or stil an older 11.x version? The difference is huge
