Tesla Full Self Driving 13.2.1-2nd day w/v13-Porter, TX to Luby's in Cypress, TX w/commentary-4K HD

[@abasah]

Your commentary is awesome. Thanks.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you so much! I love to hear the sound of my own voice :-) lol. And thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MrRobix13]

Just found out about your channel, keep it up !

[@johnchristopher7697]

Ah man! Thank you so much!!! I will be filming many more drives and uploading them here as well.

[@TeslaElonSpaceXFan]

FSD v13 ❤❤

[@johnchristopher7697]

It’s amazing! Thanks for coming over and supporting me here too!

[@Lair]

23:05 is something I've tried to explain to people. FSD has made me considerably safer because I never want to get locked out of a drive so I'm more attentive than I would be without it. I definitely notice how locked in to their phones everyone else seems to be.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Totally agree. Every day that I drive Tesla FSD I see at least a handful of people drifting over into my lane while they are on their phones, and almost creating fender benders or worse. It's one of the reasons we have nearly 45k deaths on US roads each and every year. One day Tesla FSD will help alleviate this when it gets to Unsupervised. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Lair]

@@johnchristopher7697 Driving 105 and 45 every day really puts in perspective - people are way to cavalier with their lives, and other people's too. Need more people on FSD to combat this. Haha

[@johnchristopher7697]

Oh man, 105 can be crazy!

[@coorbin]

Great commentary. I am not a fanboy, but I continue to be impressed by the technology with every major release. I completely agree with you that v13 is awesome. My ride home last night was thrilling and comfortable, zero disengagements. Keep posting vids, they are appreciated!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Oh man, thank you so much!! And so happy to hear you are having a great experience with v13! I will keep filming my drives and uploading here. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@coorbin]

@@johnchristopher7697 We're entering a brave new world, buddy! Computers are way smarter than us. It's only a matter of time until the mainstream realizes it. Tesla AI is at the absolute forefront of vehicle automation. What excites me so much is how QUICKLY they manage to push out each new release. And you don't have to take your car into the dealership for a HUGE upgrade, just give it an hour to update itself. It's unreal!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Totally agree! And Tesla AI are doing heroic work!

[@NARPATH-MUNDEL]

I have been watching so many FSD videos, and KZbin recommended you. It's fun to watch how it behaves, and I can feel your speechless expression with almost happy tears in your eyes when it did smooth exit about 1/4 mile. 😂👏👍

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you so much!!! And thank you KZbin :-) lol. I agree this technology is amazing! I look forward to doing more drives and uploading all of them here. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Andreaswidlund]

Love the reactions 😄

[@johnchristopher7697]

Hahaha! Thank you so much! I am loving this new FSD software update! And thanks for watching and commenting! I will keep them coming!

[@Kaipiso]

I think it is the best highways video I have seen so far. It seems like a video game. NPC vehicles moving slowly around, and you are just moving effortlessly between them. This is very close to a really professional driver level. Sometimes a bit worse, but many times better, as it does not need to waste time to turn the head to see all cars around. Probably much safer already as well. Pleasure to watch.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you! And yes it has gotten really good on the highway! Thank you for watching and commenting! More to come soon!

[@DetailedDesign]

Your channel is making me wanna start making videos. Great job! Something crazy happened today, my Model Y backed into my driveway as if it wanted to back into the garage. Even my wife was shocked.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Absolutely! Do it! The more videos the better. And don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions about how to setup, film, etc. And thank you for watching and commenting!

[@jeffgorchynski]

Marv from Home Alone becoming an autonomy hobbyist is really great!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Hahaha! You found me! That's why I am doing this, still looking for that damn Kevin McAllister kid! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Simon-rt3qu]

Found your videos yesterday and I love your enthusiasm. As someone from the UK, I can only dream of having FSD over here. Look forward to the next video 👍

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you so much! And I hope y’all get it in the UK soon!!! We need to get the EU on board! Thank you for the kind words! More to come tonight soon!

[@slim1984]

Picked up my 2025 MYLR AWD from league city last firday! Great Video. Atascocita in the building 💪🏽

[@johnchristopher7697]

Awesome! I am guessing you will be heading to Luby's with your new Tesla soon! 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@josephpt9540]

As I just completed watching your video I checked my iPhone seen the software update waiting for me the V13.2.1. I will be using it tomorrow morning for going to work. What a real prediction you said ❤great video.

[@johnchristopher7697]

That’s awesome!!!!!! So happy for you! You are going to absolutely love it! And let me know if you have any questions. Or if you see any issues or edge cases, and want me to try out with mine as well. Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@josephpt9540]

This is a giant leap from v12.5.6xxx. This is not considered improved version. This is something different I see over 21/2 years of my Fsd testing. I’m sure it will be unsupervised in Texas with this update and what is forthcoming. I know there’s navigation issues due to map dependency in parking lots which needs to be addressed. Very excited to see future updates . Keep doing your good work.thank you.

[@johnchristopher7697]

@ Totally agree! This is completely different!

[@happycamperinc.]

This is WTF Level Driving. Oh my god. Soooo good. I am losing my mind while watching this. Holy smokes

[@johnchristopher7697]

I know right! But you can actually use it every day of the week, not just Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Apologies, I just had to do that, I couldn't help myself 😁. But seriously, you are spot on, it amazes me how freakin' good this technology has become. I will continue to post more videos for you here, on ALL days of the week too!!! Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting!

[@mthuhn]

If you reread the release notes, the park and Unpark is coming soon. My guess is, when it reaches a destination, it is random If it parts or pull over old, go to the front of the store. I think is choosing on its own but the UI where you can choose what it can do when it gets to the destination, we would be in a future release.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thanks for watching and commenting! I am ready for that new UI feature as well!

[@heromiIes]

FSD dominated that HWY

[@johnchristopher7697]

Dude, it was like the best driver I have ever ridden along with! And to think this is just the first wide release of v13! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mikemcus]

Amazing to see the progress on roads I’m familiar with! She must have loved that green jello 😂

[@johnchristopher7697]

Haha, you know it, the green jello was awesome! 🤣

[@mydfwdj-weddingevents5162]

Another great video, and yeah, what @mthuhn said. I've been watching the OG testers since 13 dropped for them, and it's the same thing. Parking is a (near) future update, but 13 seems to randomly park on occasion. Your first 13 video was seriously the best parking job I had seen of ALL the videos. Your H-E-B arrival with the PERFECT parking made me think the feature was there. But yeah, 13 is the envy of all that don't have it. Oh, and congrats on the subscriber increase!!!!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you for the kind words!!! And yes I think it is random in parking lots and other parking locations picking between parking in a spot vs. robotaxi-like drop offs. Amazing that this is just the first wide release!

[@SkullEZClap]

Thanks for uploading! Keep uploading these! Also, oh my lord, Model 3 FSD 13.2 is a BEAST... I saw some CyberTruck 13.2 FSD and it's nowhere near as good as the 3 and Y... Makes me sad because it has more cameras and they're higher up haha

[@johnchristopher7697]

Absolutely! I will continue to do daily drives and upload all of them here, trying new areas of Houston when I can. And yes I love my new M3, especially with v13 FSD! It feels like this FSD stack was built just for Ai4 M3s! Thank you for watching and commenting! I will keep em coming!

[@SkullEZClap]

Awesome! Subscribing and hope you keep recording drives! All the best :)

[@jack8392]

No interventions for 1 hour and a half! Crazy

[@johnchristopher7697]

It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! This is happening brother!

[@radcpuman]

Thanks for the video. I have 13.2.1 as well and this version has a speed surge issue. I think I see it happening to you on the freeway as well. It will speed up and slow down 1-3mph constantly without any vehicles around it. One example in your video is at the 11:50 to 12 min mark. Again at the 13:28 mark.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thanks for watching and commenting on my video! I will look for that, but quite honestly I never felt any of that, it was the smoothest drive I have ever had on the Houston highways, ever! Literally better than a black limo driver. But I will look for what you are mentioning.

[@stewjd01]

That’s just insane. Another great video!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you!!! I will make sure to post more drives this week!

[@GoodFortune_90]

Another amazing video. Can’t wait until I could download the new version.😀

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thanks so much! I think you will really enjoy it brother! I will continue to do videos until the new update as new versions come out!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Absolutely!

[@RubenKelevra]

39:51 not sure if true for FSD12/13, but with FSD previously it would use HOV lanes, if you activated the use of HOV lanes in the navigation settings.

[@johnchristopher7697]

That’s a good point! I checked and I have HOV off. Thanks!!!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching and commenting!

[@simonpettit8548]

Great commentary JC. I cannot remember the detail, but do you remember that you had a couple of specific problems with the last version that you wanted to check out on V13? Perhaps a subject for your next drive. Also, need to change the rules of the game if undercutting at speed on the highway is OK; it seems very dangerous to us who are certainly not allowed to do that.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thanks! And yes definitely want to test out edge cases, although they are all map data issues with google maps that generally don’t get updated in FSD, it’s a different stack. I’m hoping they do another navigation update soon! As for highways, I always tell people I am on hurry mode, so that I can show the full capabilities. You do not have to do this, you can put on chill mode and literally never change lanes, or normal mode and drive regular. I’m a tester. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RubenKelevra]

43:23 nope, this functionality what to do at the end of a drive is what's upcoming in one of the next releases. Currently, that's not selected by the user, but just emerging from the training. So FSD uses the thing which it calculated works best at the current destination. So sometimes it will park backwards, sometimes forward, sometimes it will go to the side of the road, sometimes it will just awkwardly stop in the middle of the road.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yes you are correct! 💯

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yeah, that’s just a reality of life. Semi drivers are tired as hell. Bless their hearts. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@AnupomAG]

Is possible to put the Tesla in FSD while you enjoy in passenger seat?😅 What if you put a hyper realistic mannequin in the driver seat?

[@johnchristopher7697]

Haha! Not a chance. The safety mechanisms are hard core and they would sniff that out quick. I don’t want to do that anyway. We will get to unsupervised soon enough. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@happycamperinc.]

Disengagement is the thing of past. Interventions is the thing to look for.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yes, the key things to look for going forward are "critical interventions" and then just ride comfort. The "non critical interventions" don't concern me since once they launch their Cybercab service, it will highly likely have some level of teleoperational assistance for stuff like that, just like Waymo does right now with its fleet. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@RubenKelevra]

Extremely impressive. Only complaint is: Following distance is too low.

[@johnchristopher7697]

I think because of hurry mode.

[@rubenpuls353]

Maybe they have deliberately set the FSD to randomly choose between park in a parking spot or pull over to the side at the destination to get more data for the upcoming parking functionality?

[@johnchristopher7697]

That could totally be true. I think it is just random at this point, as I have noticed it is always good and proper, but just different. Sometimes it parks in a parking spot, sometimes goes to the front like a "robotaxi/Uber" dropoff, sometimes to the side of a house like everyone would do if they're visiting someone, etc. But you could be correct, they are just collecting more data before they update in another release. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@emazonreviews6269]

Retired ? How old are you?? Great video btw!

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yes I’m retired. I am 55 years old. Just recently retired a few months ago. And thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@nuthankumar9660]

Looking very smooth.. is this version available to all models or given only for few for testing purpose?

[@johnchristopher7697]

This is going out to all owners of Teslas with Ai4. So basically most Teslas built after mid-2023. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Cobra-eu5pc]

are they gonna add auto parking once you reach your destination like in a parking lot?

[@johnchristopher7697]

The upcoming release is going to have parking selections. Right now it’s still random. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@mulindejohn]

It's parking for a lot of people. Check the settings and see if there is anything you can toggle.

[@johnchristopher7697]

There isn’t yet. It’s basically dependent on the location and it seems to be random right now. New release should have this. Thanks!

[@AMPed.]

Your neighbours are prime candidate for referrals. Tell them how much you save per year and that range is never an issue.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Haha, my neighbors love their ICE cars, but I am working on them! Hopefully get at least one other Tesla in my neighborhood at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RubenKelevra]

36:48 well, memory storage is maybe the wrong term here. But you can think of the car as having a pattern of behavior, but while you have it engaged all inputs can influence the behavior, so in theory there's a large amount of data which can be stored, as it's just signals of patterns. But in the learning process, you usually also make sure you disincentivise wrong signals being stored too long. So say it drives over a highway for 4 hours, the signals for "drive fast and overtake everything" may become really strong in the neuronal network. To avoid this you train with very variating routes, where it drives over a highway and then turns off to a neighborhood and in this scenario all "drive fast and overtake everything" behavior gets punished. This makes sure the neuronal network only keeps the very current data necessary for its performance in memory, and discards everything which can lead to wrong behavior. Since you've talked about "looking ahead", well, you can see what the car can see basically. It has some form of map view and can look around, but won't have specific recognitions of specific areas (at least if trained correctly) and instead will generalize it. Think less about how you navigate in your own neighborhood in a car and more how you maybe would navigate in a supermarket which you've never been to. You look at signs and try to find patterns which are recognizable, say all cans are offered next to each other and something like this. That's what the car is doing, just for driving. So if there's a general pattern how something might look on the map or the signs or the type of road you're on, where it's reasonable to assume something, it may do that. If not, it can't.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Wow!!! Can you ride along with me? 🤣

[@CrazyWashingMachineLad]

@ no problem mate I love these videos cause it’s like daily life and stuff something about it and also when 13.2.1 it parked it self after it drove you from the driveway was incredible even I had to watch that a good few times to believe that

[@johnchristopher7697]

I know, I almost still don't believe it! haha :-)

[@CrazyWashingMachineLad]

@@johnchristopher7697 Us in the uk don’t even get proper FSD I think it can do lane changes and exit and enter motorways so the EU limits how much the car can steer which is silly hopefully one day this amazing technology will come to us I’m only 17 so this is all pretty mind blowing since I grew up in Preston where it’s quite old fashioned (1990s-2000s despite it being 2010s>) 😊

[@johnchristopher7697]

I know they are trying to work on the EU right now. But man, it's like they live to regulate over there. I am so sorry brother!

[@Tom-do8lw]

Is it allowed to pass on the right in the US on the highway?

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yes, in the state of Texas where I live it is legally permissable to pass a slower vehicle to the right. The preference is to pass to the left, unless that slower moving vehicle is in the left. But yes, here in Texas traffic rules are fairly open as compared to some other states. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RubenKelevra]

Your tail motor has quite some whine going on. Let Tesla have a look at this.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Interesting, I will have that checked out. Thanks!

[@Vardraq]

I always find it ridiculous how many oversized cars are parked in neighbourhoods. They park on the street, and they park on the Drive way, but barely anyone uses their garage for what it is for. It looks so awful; which is a shame, because the houses in your neighbourhood are particularly Beautiful.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Yes, I agree with you. I think it is a cultural thing in the US, or at least here in Houston, Texas, where folks use their garages more for work areas, man caves, storage, etc., and all of the cars are parked all over the streets. One day when we have a cybercab/robotaxi world, this would be one of the huge potential positives, not having so many parked vehicles all over our streets doing absolutely nothing other than just sitting there. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ChristopherDrosos]

Yo christopher. hows the car doin?

[@johnchristopher7697]

It's doing great! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Would you boy a car without FSD ? :D

[@johnchristopher7697]

I will never own and drive another car without FSD. Thanks for watching and commenting!

watched all of this in 16x speed

[@johnchristopher7697]

😆😆😆 I don't blame you! But I like to put the total 1x raw unedited videos out here for everyone. I think it is important to provide total unvarnished truth. Ironically, FSD is so good that it is more powerful that way. I also upload timelapse videos with music just for fun if you prefer those. Thanks for watching and commenting!❤️

[@noworkjustfish]

Hey JC, try changing the destination pinpoint to the parking lot and not to the front of the restaurant.

[@johnchristopher7697]

I am actually going to try that on one of my next destinations and see how that works, I had a number of other folks say the same thing. Tesla's release notes for v13.2.1 states that the navigation will have the ability to let us select in upcoming releases. You can select between "robotaxi dropoff" (like what it did for me at Luby's), parking in a parking spot (like it did for me at HEB yesterday), park in a garage (like it tried to do for me yesterday :-) lol), park along side of the road near a house (like it did for me today coming home from Luby's), or park in an exact designated pin drop. I will try the pin drop on one of my upcoming trips and see if it makes a difference! Thanks for watching and commenting! And thanks for being so helpful!!!

[@noworkjustfish]

​@@johnchristopher7697also, I don't know why but Tesla likes pulling into a driveway if it's taking a left onto the driveway. Try it at your house coming from the other side of the street.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Funny you say that, I have heard that from others as well. I may try to just play around with the direction of the Tesla into my neighborhood and see if it does anything differently. Thanks!

[@jrbcpht]

@dirtytesla is a beta tester and his FSD parks and unparks.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Love Chris/@dirtytesla! Yes v13.2.1 parks and unparks, which you can see in my videos here. The only thing it isn't doing consistently yet is parking in a parking lot at a retail or restaurant location. I believe that is coming in future releases. I may try playing with the pins. Thanks for watching and commenting!
