This obsession with supercharging is a bubble that's going to burst bigtime. EVs aren't gas cars. They don't need a supercharging station on every square inch of the planet, just on highways and maybe some key points within cities.

Hi Lars, first of all I'm All-In Tesla, driving a MY, not a fan of Mercedes, but we have to be fair to mention that the system Omar tested was NOT the Level 3 system (he mentions it at the beginning of the drive and it can be recognized at the steering wheel, Lvl 3 solution has a special wheel), this was the Level 2 system. Level 3 only works on specific highways in California, not on "normal" roads as they are not mapped and you need a car ahead of you. Anyway this Mercedes Level 2 system is much worse than the normal Autopilot of Tesla - which I am usually driving with as FSD V12 doesn't exist here in Europe, as you know.

Thanks for the clarification! It doesn’t make Merc’s L3 system sound much better, but good to know the intervention rate should be significantly lower …if you’re on a Merc-mapped highway AND are following another car… ;-)

I believe you forgot to mention that the "4-day shutdown" basically just gave Tesla employees a long weekend off, as Thursday was a public holiday, and starting the factory up for a single day on Friday is probably not very cost-effective anyway. At least here in Norway many, if they have the opportunity, will take that Friday off and have a 4-day "mini vacation" - I expect many of the employees at Grünheide appreciate this too.

@@bluetoad2668 "Most people think it through but more than 50% of new vehicles are bought by companies and then there's not so much thinking going on." Incorrect. If a company were to buy an electric vehicle they would be dumb to not buy a Tesla. "A lot buy hybrids." That's not surprising considering the fact that many countries have offered incentives for buying a car they can drive as a fossil car. For many companies you need a well developed charging infrastructure as well in order to make the transition.

@@bluetoad2668We have a fleet of only 12 EV but starting with the first in 2008 for promotion we also had hybrids - expensive shit for dummies - and even worse PHEV which after Diesel are the next SCAM. The other is on the way to impress idiots with e-Fuels and H2 which will never ever be serious to spend energy for a 12% energy efficiency where even horses where better! Including inflation and amortization of chargers and PV the fleet costs more than 30% less and had quite no downtimes as servicing takes far less time. But 65% of all car owners do not know their TCO and fleet owner buy the cheapest offer of automotive. They do not care of dependency on insecure oil producers not sharing our values but stealing our money with their partially owned ICE companies. So they told that engines are „greener“ and consume less but build insane SUV boxes most people do not need and consuming not less than before. 40 years cheaters and betrayers promise 2-LITRES-CARS but only TESLA and Koreans have cars the consumer the equivalent of 2 litres of premium gazoline but keep also in mind that a CT consumes not more than 4 litres in fact! This is also mindblowing and no press paid by legacy will ever report on that. So with more than 68% depending also on energy mix EVs are highly efficient without consider too much overrated Fastcharger infrastructure. We do mostly HOME and DESTINATION charging in 10 Seconds and have a climatized car in the morning. Like 70% around the world we never do 300 miles or 500 km in a day! This by then is today a healthy distance to drive. So many arguments today are fake and even not true as people compare products that are not to compare. A KIA EV6 AWD with 333 PS/608 Nm e.g. must be compared with something similar in performance and driveability and last but not least prices which is hard in comparison of similar powerful ICE costing definitely 30‘000 UDS plus more. So the nearest also on track was Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio Verde with 510 Ferrari-PS but „only“ 600 Nm and 8 speed automatic gearbox and of course no instant torque. This car however then uses 10 litres on 100 km only with a very soft accelerator pedal! So do never mix apples with lemons which are mostly never the same and then also Tesla prices are rather relative. Like the early iPhone adopters we paid more than today but with the Roadster with 2.O battery and more or less complete overhaul and improvements two years ago we made a big deal even so that the car in fact was free!

Because of megapack profits alone Tesla could theoretically sell all their cars at cost and still be a profitable company. That doesn't include the potential profits of FSD. Tesla has the potential to sell cars at a slight loss and make bank on the software as a service end of things. How screwed would all the other manufacturers be if Tesla suddenly cut the sale price of vehicles by 20% across the board? Granted they won't do that because it would kill the cash cow that feeds their ludicrous R&D costs. It's just interesting thinking that the only thing that prevents Tesla from crushing everyone including Chinese manufacturers is its drive to be on the cutting edge.

I have 12.3.6 and it still can’t backup. How can all the pundits sing it’s praises when it can’t backup? The day when you turn on FSD and leave it on is a long time away. I live in the Rocky Mountains where road markings have yet to be reapplied. Scraping the snow off also removes much of the markings that FSD depends on. Without markings results in free fall at exits and entrances. Multiple applicable speed limits in construction zones are disregarded at will. I disengaged in Idaho Springs as I tried to sort out which ones to follow the 65mph or the 40. FSD ignores these remote control signs in error. I support autonomy but not at the cost of safety. The use of FSD by attentive and analytical users will identify edge cases which overtime will be solved. Early on California was identified as an easy application due to its mild climate and good roads. Mountainous regions are everything that California isn’t. Challenging yes, impossible, no. It is doubtless that Tesla has the tools to solve these problems. I attempted to report the Idaho Springs issues and my response was “It didn’t understand” as the recording system is limited. FSD is complicated as the problem is complicated. A satisfactory solution for experienced drivers is possible. The day an owner can toss the key to an inexperienced driver may never come. To think otherwise will only introduce accidents that were never before. There is no reason that this complicated device will not be subject to legal mandates.

Definitely not as it would be to stressful to supervise a car making unexpected manneuvers in absolutely clear situation. At least former FSD from Tesla only was braking when situation was no so sure but with the latest version it’s just like the best human drivers do! That is more than anybody could expect from a self-learning robot and if that only saves 1 mio LIFES it is more than any other automaker did. Do you know that if only a few cars in a pulk drive with FSD and already only adaptive cruise control according to a real life test of Switzerland‘s biggest automobile club there will be substantially less traffic jams on highways as we suffer from every day at neuralgic points! So FSD cars such as Teslas could be used to guarantee flow together with traffic control centers in exchange data e.g. optimized speed etc.

The BP request was not for Tesla to sell them existing supercharger sites but for site holders who were in the planning stages of setting up a new supercharger site and are now stranded to reach out to BP to take over the abandoned leases because Tesla has backed out of new lease deals and has paused new installations. This is attractive for BP because Tesla has already done all the hard work of scouting for suitable locations negotiating the lease and in some cases even procuring electrical power to the sites such as transformer installation, but Tesla has canceled all this leaving the opportunity for BP and other companies to step in.

FSD combined with C-V2X eliminating accidents and injuries is going to be even more important than all the other safety technologies. C-V2X connected cars technology is a quasi super power sensor, able to see through anything and around corners and that should be combined with FSD to end all accidents and injuries involving pedestrians, bikes, animals... It could be retrofited using cell phones or tags, or devices like the Comma ai open pilot device when adopted. The DOT and Tesla need to fast track it ASAP.

What is this acronym ? V2X means vehicle to everything. What does C- refer to?

TESLA should give the middle finger to B/P and tell them to as ELON say's GFY.

Not sure why? BP said that it would try to purchase land that Tesla (Elon) recently said that they wouldn’t be building on. Tesla is focusing on expanding existing sites. Tesla can’t do it all on their own they need companies like BYD, CATL, and BP to work with and to compete against.

Personally, I find that I still have to intervene a lot on the freeway. It randomly changes lanes too much, even if I say MINIMAL lane changes.

WHY, WHY, WHY don't the Tesla board UNDERSTAND that NOT doing any MARKETING AT ALL is hurting their mission? Marketing+10 year terms+0% interest=NO DEMAND ISSUES EVER!!

The Tesla board would be wise if they wait to advertise until after the US Presidential election. The Tesla brand will need a lot of rehabilitation thanks to Elon.

Nope. I'm still on V11 of FSD. They have *not* pushed it out to the whole fleet. (I'm in USA.)

It just started rolling out to you a couple days ago. It’ll take about 2 weeks to get everyone updated. PRO TIP: If you have a Tesla service center near you, drive over to their parking lot. When your car connects to their internal WiFi, you’ll get the update almost immediately. Just have to sit in the lot, don’t have to go in.
