FSD is a life changing product. I use it 80% of the time and trust it - don't have 13 yet. This changes driving stress ... yes lets go where ever you want FSD will take us fast and safe. Why would anyone buy a car without FSD? Insurance rates should come down with reduced accidents using FSD.

[@ZupE891]

When FSD becomes unsupervised, most people will continue to buy cars without FSD.. why you may ask? are they just dumb? no, its because most people cant afford a new car and a $100 subscription price (probably higher subscription price with unsupervised) Most people buy used cars at a sub $20k price that has no subscription cost on top of it. And you wont be able to buy a used tesla because all the fleet operators will scoop all those up.

[@mike23277]

@@ZupE891 not entirely true once tesla releases there lower priced car's that argument would be much less relevant . I would also add as lower priced tesla's hit the used car market more and more people would be able to afford a monthly subscription for fsd, also if tesla has any type of demand issue's it can always lower the price to gain mass fsd adoption then slowly raise the price marketing 101 corner the market then raise the price down the road. In the long run if fsd is widely adopted by tesla owners it will be a cash cow for tesla.

[@williamgrunzweig571]

To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be clean and free of obstructions. Remove any build-up of dirt or debris by spraying water onto the camera lens and drying it with a microfiber cloth. Clean the camera lens every week during wet weather (snow, rain, sleet) and every month during dry weather. For your dirt road, you will want to clean more frequently.

[@teslamac5348]

I observed a really clear example of slow reaction time. Red light ahead, fsd starts to slow about 2 seconds later than I would. Very normal delay from my experience. Before it gets to the light it turns green. No traffic ahead. 2 seconds later, braking stops and the car continues. It was clearly the same amount of delay before stopping and deciding. I hadn’t seen such a clear example of processing time from event to reaction. This was on an AI4 M3 running fsd v12.5.4.2 which as I understand is an AI3 emulation build. V13.2 frees FSD to native mode and response time. This is going to be so incredible

[@teslamac5348]

This also makes me question if an AI3 car can ever get close to good enough. Sounds like an AI4 upgrade is going to be needed for most cars on the road.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

@@teslamac5348 Elon said it will be a free upgrade if AI3 can't run it. AI3 cars paid a lot of money for FSD so the hardware transplant is already paid for. There is a considerable amount of money on the line that depends on whether AI4 will be the minimum requirement, so they definitely will try their best and I have little doubt they can do it.

[@gsmith2520]

5.4.2 sucked for me on hw3. Panic braking. Unknown reason slow downs.

Why would they bother upgrading to AI4? AI5 will be out before the end of 2025. It will be able to have distributed compute. This will enable Tesla to actually make money in using your car when it’s parked. Reducing/eliminating the cost of the upgrades.

Forget about Robotaxi. (the fleet management issues, the cleaning, the charging etc.) Robotaxi will come in time, but before that, when FSD is unsupervised, Tesla is selling a car that you can send to go pickup your kids. Wherever you are or wherever someone in your family is, the car can be summoned. The initial value is to your personal network. When this is available, why would you purchase a car that cannot do this.

[@royschering1140]

I've driven my CT in snowy upstate NY conditions recently. When the FSD software warned me that it was degraded because of dirty cameras, I would switch to manual mode. It was usually spray from wet, salted roads that caused the problem. I cleaned the cameras at the next charging stop. Since the system knows which cameras are degraded, it would be a great upgrade for Tesla to install the plumbing to route wiper cleaning solution to small electrically controlled spray jets at each exposed camera so the system could automatically clean any camera that is degraded. The dirty camera problems seem to be worst on the front bumper camera and the tailgate camera on my CT.

[@FinalGlideAus]

I’m almost sad I haven’t been able to partake in the beta testing here in Australia. That said I won’t complain if my first experience with FSD in my car is V13 experience. So damn excited for this. Good thing for me at least is that I was able to buy $10k more worth of shares instead of buying FSD early.

[@malcolmrickarby2313]

They should be training for all countries that cars are in now. Must recognise kangaroos 🦘 and livestock in Oz and elephants in India.😊

[@phxazcraig]

I think most safety enhancements being required by law originated with insurance industry lobbyists. What's going to happen to insurance rates if FSD cars cost less to insure? What will happen when insurance companies realize they make more profit with fsd-enabled vehicles than without? Insurance companies forced (in my opinion) the following on the public: seatbelts, 85mph speedometers (grrrr!), crash standards, tail light size, number and position, antilock brakes (?), rearview cameras, motorcycle helmets, turn signals, safety glass, slower speed limits, etc, etc.

Insurance companies, based on actuaries of FSD vs manual driving and the safety stats, will force this issue much sooner than federal mandates. “You wanna drive your car manually? Sure. No problem.

AGREE with automatic emergency braking as a necessity... Surround cameras too. Distracted driving happens in the blink of an eye. SAFETY is a major adopter feature if it's pushed or mandated.

[@tHebUm18]

15:10 For me, I simply don't drive enough to justify $100/mo which is a good chunk of change. 100% remote job, mostly short/simple drives when I do go places. If I took a 1000+ mile road trip, I'd snag a month though. That said, having a HW3 vehicle (v12) and living in the midwest--I have been deeply disappointed in my trial experience with FSD compared to what I've seen with HW4/v13 in more data rich places, especially with rural roads where it constantly wants to drive 25 in 55 MPHs. Short of my car becoming a robotaxi that has a healthy enough ROI to offset not wanting strangers in my car, I don't have plans to adopt it--not now, not when unsupervised, not unless my driving habits change or Tesla adds a use-based pricing model that makes sense for limited driving.

[@mrmeach1967]

26:03 Glad to hear this example. No issue whatsoever with the community gate (esp at night). V 12.5 still charges the gate as if it doesn’t see it, stops abruptly when it does, and then jerks back and forth like it’s about to bust a nut until it’s clear.

[@erikmoore7402]

It works great if there's lane lines for it to see. But up here in alaska in the winter when it can't see lane lines it's pretty much useless on anything but very simple streets. The only reason I can drive is cuz i remember where the lines are. I'm talking four lanes of traffic at stoplights with no lane lines. If you know, you know. I don't doubt that they will figure it out, but it's almost like it needs memory, otherwise, it will never know what's under the snow.

Is version 13 running on hardware 3?

[@clintatk]

I just received FSD 13 this morning. Surprisingly it handled an uncontrolled 4 lane divided street dangerously poorly. FSD 12 had no issues with the same intersection. FSD 13 became confused by a turning car and simply stopped in the middle of the street with cars honking and slamming on brakes. Yikes! My confidence unfortunately immediately took a big hit. 😢

Does left hand driving such as in UK, Japan, Australia require a complete new set of FSD learning? Seems like it might 🙈.

[@hugh7840]

Is Comma driving device good for long range hauling trucks?

[@dbradley65]

I had a free trial from October to November. There were still some bumps. harsh turns entering an offramp. Complete stop on the street approaching driveways for no apparent reason. That stopping was something completely new from the version that was out early this year. But overall it's been pretty impressive. But as Musk pointed out a few months ago the neural net has been kind of like playing whack-o-mole. And when they tweak things unexpected things happen in other areas. That's the issue with Neural Nets it's very difficult to know exactly the impact changes have. It requires a huge amount of testing. So throwing out the C++ code may have given them a jump, but they may find they're still going to spend a lot of time adjusting the neural network. We'll probably will never know if it really accelerated the process. I'm really interested to see the improvements of 13. Ultimately, FSD is of little value to me until it's unsupervised.

[@the_new_project]

Very exciting. Cool stuff.

[@stoner27th]

I still wonder if they could flip a switch and make FSD to be right-hand drive instantly, or it needs to train all over again?

You need to discuss how unsupervised could be implemented and how might insurance work? Nobody is talking about this and going forward this will be a significant topic. The paradigm has happened and the early testers have all said they believe a human will be in the driver's seat to start. That is L3 so how will Tesla deploy L3 or will Tesla try to get to L4/L5 and ignore L3? I've driven 50K miles on FSD so have a good sense of what is going on. This insurance discussion needs traction.

[@bluetoad2668]

FSD 13 is the great leap forward. It makes a robotaxi like experience to rival Waymo totally possible in 2025. But competing with Waymo is just the first milestone which ordinary people will notice - it's going to be so much better than Waymo, it's the end of Waymo in fact.

There's no way that a self-driving car reacts 1000 times faster. Human reaction time is somewhere 0.7-1.5 seconds. Modern iPhones have latency of displaying what the camera sees on the screen of something 0.06-0.12 seconds. The process that the car goes through is likely more complex and latency producing than what an iPhone does when it displays video on the screen. Maybe you get 10-20 times faster but not 1000 times faster.
