Watch FSD 12.6.2 Park Itself Automatically - The Future Is Here!

[@AlterAbility]

28:00 "It just parked itself!" (clip from the intro)

[@chasx401]

Well... title is misleading since it's not really FSD that is parking, since you had to disengage FSD first ;-)

[@eastmanwebb5477]

I wasn’t expecting precipitation map overlays for HW3/Intel cars. This is awesome! Also, I really appreciate you sharing the results of your HW3 version poll. That’s a great idea and I hope you keep doing that for future versions.

[@MrTechfreak95]

Whoo another FSD Video with HW3! :)

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I just got this software on my model Y! I love it! So smooth! I noticed a couple jerky turns are now super smooth and overall the acceleration and braking are much smoother than the older version.

[@techgeektesla]

Awesome! Yeah, it’s so much better now. Bravo to the Tesla team for this one.

[@ihearttesla]

Thank You...Can't wait for this update!

[@MrClaudehammond]

You might not want to touch the wheel but you can change the mode from chill to standard to hurry with the right scroll wheel pushing it right and left while driving in FSD.

[@lorismartucci]

I appreciate that you show the pedals; it removes any doubt about whether you're feathering the throttle, which some KZbinrs don't do

[@techgeektesla]

@@lorismartucci thanks for noticing!

[@treebank88]

Looks like in Portage, Michigan. So glad to see 12.6.2!

[@TheTekSone]

[@techgeektesla]

@@TheTekSone I hope you get it soon.

[@AndrisVizulis]

Jon, thanks for these great videos, especially this one (12.6.2)! Been salivating for this update for my 2018M3LR! Your videos are just the right amount of "geek!" Also, I'm from Kalamazoo originally and always do winter drives there from the Boston MA area, so I love seeing your trips to Portage. Maybe I'll run into you at the Meijer Supercharger in a couple of weeks!

[@techgeektesla]

Cool. Yep, I’m back in Kalamazoo for the weekend. 😊

Drove approximately 2,500 miles this week from Houston to Greenville, NC and back. Greenville, NC to Washington, D.C. last Monday and back. First time to drive long distance. It was such a joy driving and exceeded beyond my expectation. 😊🤩☺️

[@techgeektesla]

@@Manilakid95 wow!! You drove that on which version of FSD? That’s a lot of driving.

[@TarequlSifat]

FSD parking itself was so awesome.

[@BasicFlashCube]

Seems like it wants to reverse but can't. Just like early V13

[@techgeektesla]

@@BasicFlashCube yes!!

[@coly8087]

Got FSD 12.6.2 Friday and tested Saturday doing my usual route. Much improved over 12.5.4.2. Smooth and comfortable. Will resume using fsd more again. :)

[@chasx401]

I got 12.6.2 yesterday. New driver profiles makes speed control so much better. I turned off Max Speed Offset previously because it would sometimes drive 20mph over the speed limit, which will make me get a ticket for sure. Now I set it to 20% (instead of recommended 40%), but I'd rather be able to set a fixed amount (8 over is my ideal at any speed)

[@akoforever]

FSD 12.6.2 is bane of my life. Never had i wanted to get rid of my Tesla until this version. MY does not drive the speed limit, always under. Can be set to 76 but will drive below the speed limit of 55. Hesitates in situations I had not seen it do in previous version and more.

[@AI-ed5jz]

Thank you hw3 FSD🎉

[@DaisyVision15016]

Thanks for concentrating on HW3

[@narmen1984]

Learned Ireland is experiencing Storm Eowyn thanks to your weather map. Crazy! Enjoyed the vid

[@Granddude1060]

Great video and commentary. I have FSD 12.6.1 and it is so much better than 12.4.2.x but keeps dropping below the speed set point on the windy hwy. It does this even when the hwy straightens for a few hundred metres (lot's of feet). It's so bad that I have to continually force the FSD to the set point and hold it there. Then I get the "Autopilot will not brake..." popup. It's so tedious and the traffic lines up impatiently behind the car.

[@techgeektesla]

Wow! Interesting. I haven’t experienced that with 12.6.2. I never had 12.6.1

[@alphadelta87]

Ive seen a few others with HW3 Model 3 on 12.6.2 toggle the speed profile in the settings, but those dont apply when on roads under 50mph. And 24:43 its stuck cause it wants to reverse lol. I would've just disengaged at that point cause it most definitely won't reverse into the spot it wants to. Great video though! I appreciate seeing other HW3 videos with 12.6 😊

[@adamjcohn]

Dude, it summons itself to you. Parking has been around forever, even before Tesla my guy.

[@ghostsofspeed]

I'm just glad we can run FSD without paying Tesla :)

[@jasonberger3227]

I’ve had 12.6.1 on my HW3 MYP for a little over a week. Still patiently waiting for 12.6.x on my HW3 M3SR+. MYP has displayed truly human like behavior. Really impressive. It also parked itself once, though it straddled the line with its park job. Still nice to see it try to park itself. Oils have been better if it backed into the spot, but it pulled forward into parking spot, and was a bit off target.

[@fuzzo8483]

On 12.5.4.2 it’s recently begun driving into my driveway which is only rocks dirt and grass.

[@NationNathan]

Im still stuck at 12.5.4.2 in Denver. I WANT MY UPGRADE NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

[@romance27]

12.6.2 is smooth. Will test it further

[@Dave_Outside]

I always leave my car in chill mode for toleration. I think it’s smoother and more comfortable. And probably more energy efficient. And I hope he understands that “chill” has to do with the more relaxed driving style, and nothing to do with the chilly weather lol

[@remotaurog]

We got the weather pattern on HW4 about 3 weeks ago in Ireland ,yeah that crazy weather we not used to.

[@MLXXXp]

Many other testers over the years have determined that the Chill, Standard, Etc. acceleration setting in the Dynamics tab has no effect on FSD or autopilot behaviour. It is strictly for manual driving. Also, if you look at the release notes closely, you will see that Chill, Standard and Hurry profiles under Autopilot don't only take effect when you're on highways. They will also apply to other roads with a speed limit of 50mph or higher. From the release notes: "Customizable Speed Profiles, which apply to roads and highways with 50mph (80kph) or higher speed limit"

[@techgeektesla]

@@MLXXXp Excellent points!!!

[@wreckinball11]

I just overnight tested a Cybertruck with V13.2 and it was 10x better than my V12.5.4.2 HW3 Model 3.

[@ariip]

I have a 2020 tesla model X (which was supposed to get it before 3/y earlier with S) AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY 12.6 OR ACTUAL SMART SUMMON YET!!! I just got the limited holiday update for the Legacy X YESTERDAY!! Although through 12.5 by braking has been smooth and gradual and not like so many others have said. RIOTS? LOL.

[@mistyanderson6834]

I have a 2020 LRM3 and still running v12.5.4.2. Been using FSD since the first group received it with 100% safety scores. 😢

[@kevinerickson2595]

I think clean rear camera and it will work, maybe side camera's also

[@kenhiett5266]

The temperature did drop from 19 to 15 when you arrived at your gym, just like the system said. lol

[@Kinnearm9]

Here for the algorithm. Thanks for the video.

[@TeslaMatt650]

Definitely seems to have a lot of v13 blood in v12.6. I also experienced FSD parking itself on my HW3 Y with v12.6.1. Two examples of this can be seen in the most recent video I posted. Looking forward to further improvements! Long live HW3!

[@DouglasJMark]

Thanks. Hope to get this update and that it stops our 2022 MY from doing random premature rolling starts at red lights and stop signs. Really frightening for me and other cars😓

[@Ccvikings2009]

Just got 12.6.2 yesterday!

[@Ccvikings2009]

Just an update for everyone who doesn’t care, I absolutely hate this update. - stopped in the middle of a roundabout - jerked the wheel and went off the side of the highway rumble strip - took turns so tight it almost curbed my tires - took turns extremely slow -while I like that it parks, it parked in a handicapped spot

[@BadMergentheim2025]

FSD is insane!

[@TrafalgarL4wyer]

Great video!

[@Michael-e9s2x]

If it had parked itself, it would have straighted the wheels at the end. It's close but it still can't drop me at the door and go park but it can "Banish" to a spot then I can take over with Forward or Reverse Buttons.

[@mikescott58]

How does it handle lights with "No turn on red" when there's nobody in front of you? 13.2.2.1 seems to have finally gotten it.

[@mikescott58]

Another good reason for SoC at destination is when battery is below 20%, sentry mode is disabled From what I saw, your rearview camera is really obscured. Maybe that affecting parking

[@techgeektesla]

@@mikescott58 good point! Thx for noticing my dirty camera. Will clean for next tests.

[@dathyr1]

Question: Why when a Tesla vehicle does an auto park, it only backs into the parking space??? Does it ever park when going forward??? Thanks for your video. I have a 2023 Model Y and just tried the 13.2.2 free trial a few times when weather was good. My trial is done now. I just tested normal FSD driving, did not do parking. Did test backing up. No problems with trial. Take care.

[@techgeektesla]

@@dathyr1 backing up is safer or easier it seems. I’m not really sure. Good question.

[@dathyr1]

@@techgeektesla Thanks for your info. Only reason I asked is I always pull in going forward with my vehicle, just to see where I am going. Take care

It's getting better for sure but let's get real here. It randomly parked itself after a confused ~5min drive in the parking lot. Nothing to write home about.

[@techgeektesla]

Yeah

[@JAYWIL01]

Mines parked itself at one store. The other two times, it would start to go into reverse and abruptly stop.

[@mikelittle4812]

My 12.6.1 is very poor in snow, stops at lights and at yellow lights. I rear ended a car very slowly light dent in bumper and navigation is wonky. I think 12.6.2 is comming out to replace the 12.6.1 soon.

12.6 still can’t do this one right turn on a hill for me, I think the front bumper camera on the new y will solve a lot of issues

[@BigBen621]

The front bumper camera isn't used by FSD.

[@famip3679]

@ maybe in the future it will

[@iowa_don]

1:49 - How is 12.6.2 on highway lane centering? I was HUGELY disappointed in the lane centering on the highway for my refresh Model S with 12.6. On sweeping curves it really biased towards the inside of the curve, so much so that it would even drive on top of the lane markers. I found that quite disturbing and completely unnecessary. FYI, I did my big highway drive in "Chill" mode on 12.6. HUGE mistake. Man does it really go for the right lane like a magnet. If you put the car in the HOV lane it will drive there for 1/2 to 1 mile and then will shift multiple lanes to the right to get to the rightmost lane. In mountains with semi trucks going slow in the right lane, it will pass one semi then boom, right back to the right lane. Unusable for that situation IMHO. Have you driven through any school zones? 12.6 was a downgrade for school zones for me (from 12.3.6) and 12.6.1 only a tiny bit better. I drive through several school zones in my area and on one drive it slowed down on only one of seven school zones. I also find that the speed limit map data is wrong in lots of places. On one street near my house it has the correct limit going one direction (35 MPH) but has the limit as 25 MPH going the opposite direction. I also hate now how it keeps the side street limit of 35 MPH when I pull out onto a street where the limit is 45 MPH. It will finally change the limit to 45 when it "sees" a new speed limit sign, but that sign could be 1/4 to 1/2 mile down the road. Yesterday I turned on to a 45 MPH street and it had the limit immediately at 25 MPH. At times it seems like it can actually "read" the road signs but with school zones it clearly can not or it would get them all correctly.

[@seanerer]

IMO... it drives like someone who just got a drivers license.

[@phildavis9671]

12.6.1 for me, the most annoying part is the inability to maintain set speed. How about a max speed and speed that I want the Tesla to maintain. What’s anyone’s thoughts?

[@ThisisMrBigs]

10:19 I think the phrase you were looking for is “confirmation bias.”

[@techgeektesla]

Is this improved version after 12.6.1? Or is it a jump for model 3 from 12.5.4.2

[@HrvojeSpoljar]

@ oh wow. Reason I asked is because we have 12.6.1 now in MY so it’s nice that already a better version is coming. For some reason I thought 6.2 was specific for M3

Dude, look at your dirty rear view camera….you can see that it’s “occluded” when you pulled up the camera views, so maybe that’s why it won’t go into reverse?? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@@JohnKarnas-b8f It won’t go in reverse even with a clean camera. You’re right though. It was dirty. It’s so hard to keep that camera clean during the winter. 🥶

Just my opinion: There is too much explanation and talk about irrelevant stuff. Short explanation of the scenario and get to the point. It will result in a more coherent video and a shorter format that is easier to digest.

[@techgeektesla]

@@BorisZX6R thanks! 🙏 you’re right and I would agree. I rushed to post this one. Usually I omit a lot more of the irrelevant talk.

Thanks for watching. And thanks for your feedback. 🙏
