Man its doing pretty good with lane prediction etc prolly better than the majority of drivers and now that FSD 13 is coming robotaxis are closer than ever !

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Thanks for your comment, The smoothness improvments has translated well into these conditions the steering wheel used to jerky alot last year but this year when it doesn't see much lanes it does not jerk, it adjusts slightly and smoothly to maneuver which increases confidence from my perspective

We are all expecting Full Autonomy, which is what Elon promised 8 years ago. FSD is still very far away from Level 5 operation.

[@joshgoodman6534]

@@DerekDavis213 who would have guessed it, writing software to make a car drive itself is not trivial. But I guess the world did stop at the first 2.5lb mobile phone and not improve it because the first prototypes were not perfect.

[@DerekDavis213]

@@joshgoodman6534 Very bad analogy. Elon made some big promises about FSD, and that was 8 years ago. Elon continues to hype FSD, even though its been degraded to Supervised Driving. 5 years of beta testing, 1000's of engineering man hours, and FSD cannot even drive for one hour in a busy big city without human intervention. To say that is a let down would be a huge understatement. And lets not forget that Cyber Taxi is years late and still non-operational. Missing in action, it is pure vapor ware. Waymo is the real deal.

@ it’s still being delivered - but you surely got a follow brother! Soon I’ll eventually truly be part of the community!

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Appreciate it 🔥

[@MH-Tesla]

Wow. After this first five minutes I'm impressed. My car never went even 100 feet in this much snow last winter in Michigan. I could not use FSD at all if there was any snow or ice on the roads. I've been very much looking forward to testing it out this winter. Still waiting for our first snow though.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

It does surprisingly good specially with lead vehicles and trafficy situations

[@DonatoCalamita]

They should have a snow mould where the acceleration is less strong on turns and the breaking is earlier

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

That would be amazing

[@graysonwagner1855]

Should be part of traction control

[@DuckOfDuckness]

Very subjective, but if I was in the driver seat during these conditions, I would definitely lower the max speed manually so FSD doesn't go too fast in the snow.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

The lowest is 100%

[@DuckOfDuckness]

@@TeslaColdEnvy In the settings, yeah. I meant with the scroll wheel while driving. I'm pretty sure you can still scroll the speed down below the speed limit if needed for conditions like this.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Will give it a shot. But I think that doesn't go lower than 100% with the new speed profiles

[@matthieucesarjacquesribier3265]

Great test! Could you experiment self parking's reaction to snow and slipping? Maybe you could draw a fake parking spot in the snow see if it will detect it, stuff like that

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Sounds cool will try out auto park indeed. There is a part in this current video where it takes off on an icy lane and steering wheel self corrects to slipping that occurs. It's really impressive! 21:20

[@slprescott]

Yes, please post a video of FSD Highway. This is my first winter with a Tesla (MYAWD) and I’ll be driving on the highway from Albany NY to Boston MA. During warm conditions, FSD works perfectly on that 3-hour drive.

In some weather conditions, you can expect ice to be there in the shadows... This has A LOT to learn about winter driving. It will eventually but that must have been scary.

I'm hoping tesla taps into my drives for data to improve winter fsd. I really think it's essential.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

@@TeslaColdEnvy So no worries my friend! They are, because If they're going to launch the Robo taxi next year, they had to have been testing it already in winter conditions, so we'll see what happens, but remember you're still driving, FSD supervised, so keep that in mind, as you're still responsible for what your car is doing on public streets/highways. Comphenda. Cheers 🥂

[@flyshacker]

Thank you for making this FSD test video in snow! You helped me to decide about FSD where I live in north Idaho. I just ordered a Cybertruck, and I already decided against buying FSD because the CT comes with 3 months of free FSD. I think for now FSD in snowy weather is not good enough, so I will opt for the $100/month FSD by subscription in non-snowy months and pass during snowy months. Maybe in a few years FSD will be very good in snowy conditions. But not now!

Yes, you are brave thanks for posting FSD in snowy roads

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Thanks guys appreciate the comments I'm glad you folks like my videos! ❤️

[@maplelodge2]

I used FSD in chill mode in Calgary as well after it snowed. It takes on/off ramp too fast as if it’s summer. It does not slow down early enough to account extra stopping distance for winter driving. I had to disengage as the computer is not smart enough to identify potential black ice. I don’t know if the car is smart enough to correct itself, but I rather not risk a spin out.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Indeed it's very hard to get the car to spin though. Even when you drive manually. I haven't driven a rear wheel drive though. Yes the quick take off and late braking is terrible. I wish they enhance it. Did you change your wheel setting to winters? That could help.

[@accumapmodels]

Great snow test!! I would be terrified to do this test. With new Cortex training, FSD should do way better with this test in Feb or Mar. 2025

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Thanks for the comment glad you like the video. In excited for v13!

[@DerekDavis213]

Tesla has been promising 'way better' results for many months now. FSD continues to make miss takes on any complex route. Thats why it has been degraded to Supervised Driving.

[@Haffy1952]

Now that it is on the neural net it will learn faster in winter driving. And passing it on to the other cars with the same driving experiences for winter.

[@sphygo]

Heading into winter is such a good time to get a Tesla. I can't wait to play around with FSD on winter roads and drifting around freshly covered parking lots... I mean learning to control my vehicle in difficult conditions. For safety of course

Long time since I've seen Calgary in winter; less icy than I remember. FSD not slowing early for a light when on snow or ice or downslope, is an issue here in Colorado too.

[@JustAThought01]

Suggestion: use right scroll wheel to reduce maximum speed when driving on snow as well as chill mode and reduced maximum speed setting. Great video, thanks for recording.

[@TheswedishDane]

interesting video thank you

[@pumpkinpaste6094]

Very informative and very interesting to watch. First impression is that FSD is really not there yet, in the same time, I also agree with ColdEnvy, FSD is finding its own way and make it work. This is more advantageous than Waymo. Let's see after this winter, how FSD can improve. I am cautiously optimistic about FSD in the next couple of years.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed watching my video will be posting a highway video this weekend stay tuned!

[@DonatoCalamita]

Is this rwd or awd ?

[@kennyg1358]

He said performance version so it's AWD.

[@richardgaudreault7095]

I never use fsd when there is snow on the road. When you drive on snow or ice you dont just have to see the road, you have to feel it. I only trust my self in those conditions.

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

I totally get were you are coming from. But you start getting those sense of feeling when fsd drives for you as well and your confidence grows in a similar approach. But yes it's not as much as getting the confidence from yourself driving.

[@charlesrirwin]

Did you record this yesterday?

[@TeslaColdEnvy]

I pull up the snow warning with the date at the start of the video. I recorded this video on the 18th.

[@weich1q2w]

Tldr: It still can't learn on the fly and use much reasoning so be careful af in the conditions anything other than sunshine. it's not modulating the speed/acceleration enough to manage the traction correctly. It should be smart to figure out based off weather conditions relative to the tire combination, how to drive

[@dathyr1]

I think the FSD with the vehicle is driving speeds are just fine. Its snowy and it is driving the speeds I would do. Didn't seem too slow to me. I have a model Y but I am not going to buy FSD. Don't need it. And yes, I did try the 30 day free trials. Still this feature does not interest me.

They did well still slips abit with icy condition but for Calgary it's good enough. We get chinook winds here so the snow does not stick for a long time.

@ thank for your reply! When I first read you had proper winter tires and Michelins I was surprised at the amount of skip. But I’m sure it’s colder and more slick where you are at. I’m in Utah, so we get snow and ice as well. This is also why I love awd cars. I’ve been considering at Model 3 or Model Y. I currently have a Honda Pilot with AWD and I’ve sad Audi’s, VW’s and BMW’s with AWD. I need a more economical auto for commuting 100+ miles a day. And want AWD because of our weather. Also want all the driver safety. I’ve driven a few Tesla’s but never tried AutoPilot Self Driving. Makes me nervous and I never even thought about how the systems behaves and performs in snow storms and inclement weather.

[@jonathanmelhuish4530]

@@TeslaColdEnvy To be fair, it does become a bit difficult to guess when the road is completely covered in snow, and in case of any doubt it's probably safer not to try to drive as close to the edge as possible. I think FSD did acceptably well, considering the conditions! Softer acceleration would make sense though I believe the traction control would limit acceleration when it senses wheel slip? FSD should still decelerate earlier though, for sure.

Not labeling has nothing to do with labeling. They just need more training data incorporated in the AI model for snow driven situations by humans to model off of... Then it correctly adjust the inputs to correlate with proper turn radii for the various snow situations that it encounters. My bet is that the training data set for snow driven situations for ai4 is lower than they had gathered for ai3 and it's very likely that the model hasn't been updated to include that training data Corpus. One of the advantages of now having cortex at giga Texas is the rate at which that they can incorporate Real world gathered training video data from snow driven scenarios into the model training sessions and thus rapidly provide the capability to the new model. It also helps that because more and more cars are being sold and across many different geographies that the total number of scenarios for snow driven situations is increasing exponentially. Thus providing an extremely rich Corpus of training data that can then be used to update the model. My guess is they don't need to gather more data. Rather there's a backlog in training The models with the gathered data which the Cortex coming online a few months back is going to greatly alleviate.... This is also likely why Elon and Tesla is so confident that they will be able to go to a fully unsupervised version within the next 6 months or so. I agree with that assessment.
