[@tubeducky]

I don't particularly like Tesla's but I cannot deny how seriously impressive FSD is

[@LordDarkwater]

They are strange, do alot of things different and it takes some getting used to. But the few things I actually can complain about feel quite insignificant compared to the huge amount of features I love. I dont think I will drive anything else for the forseeable future, except my wifes car which isnt a tesla. Teslas are a bit too large for her taste.

[@ptech88]

Whats the reason for not liking tesla? Did you own one and not have a good experience?

[@tubeducky]

@@ptech88 Living in Europe where the EV market is really heating up, Tesla has kind of just... stagnated... compared to the competition. Never owned one but driven a few, and to me, driving dynamics are quite important being a car enthusiast myself (who appreciates both combustion and electric). While they may be fast they are quite forgettable compared to other EVs I've driven. Also feel the early Model S is far better built than the current ones. They're not exactly easy to own in the UK either with many mechanics refusing to touch or even inspect them due to rather anti-consumer practices Tesla annoyingly holds. Usual case of bad company, good products.

[@cyrilonurisi277]

So why don’t you like Tesla?

[@seanmiller7889]

I have had 12.5 blow through 3 red lights on me. I estimate that the light turned red for a full two seconds. I was carefully observing cross traffic and wanted to see if it would slam on the breaks or continue. Have not had this behavior on prior releases.

Beautiful ride

[@leezybabys]

I drive for Lyft and Uber most of the time using the FSD. Trust me, it’s amazing feature and my passengers love it 🙏❤️ However, don’t trust 100% on everything your car is deciding to do if you don’t feel comfortable with (just turn it off and keep driving it manually).

[@MichaelTapes]

Thanks for your videos! 12.5.1.1 looking good. Video quality and framing is excellent. Can I ask what camera and mount you are using? Thanks. Keep up the great work. Be safe.

[@nazzarenopisano652]

This must be designed for different roads than I drive on. I will admit the "autosteer" part works great. I rarely, if ever, need to touch the steering wheel/yoke. However, the speed control is still a disaster, at least where I live. It "sometimes" gets to the speed I have set, but most of the time I'm CONSTANTLY on the accelerator to adjust the speed. It slows down for no valid reasons. When the speed limit increases, the set speed increases properly, but the car remains at the lower speed, by up to 30 km/h! Again, more nudges on the accelerator needed. The turn signals now come on WAY too early, sometimes 2-3 possible turn areas before the actual turn. All of these issues worked a lot better in 12.4.x. Steering has improved, but everything else has deteriorated here (Southern Ontario, Canada).

[@warrenlee393]

can you do FSD test drive in really crowd place where FSD can try to merge and get over really crowd lanes? It seems like CA is kinda easy to drive for FSD comapred to NY. it is hard to tell what is different compared to V12.3.6.

[@andyrai4003]

Tesla keeps releasing so many versions just for this one guy. The rest of us have to just watch his video and feel good about it. This may go on forever!

Tesla FSD did a very good job on this trip. I wish I could compare with Waymo or Cruise but have never been in either. Why don't you test it in underground situations....tunnels or multi-level highway systems where GPS could not function? Not sure if GPS is needed or if neural network could handle it with visual data. Just curious.

[@SailingFloh]

I hope they will polish auto park more and make it more smoothly it is very often wiggling the wheel and going very fast near objects but slow when nothing is there 😅

[@Tesfan-mo8ou]

Would be good to let it try to park itself at the end. I think 12.5 has been working towards that.

That was pretty dang cool ! Wish Autopilot would get some updates too... Even after v26 it has phantombreaking AND doesn't understand if you're going under an overpass (or a tunnel) the 50 km/h on top does NOT impact the 70/80 km/h underneath...or breaking HARD for cars turning off the main road that are ALREADY out of the way, no slow creep, no "oh, it's already finished and outta my way, lets continue"...no-no, it's "AH, HOLY SHIT THERE WAS A CAR TURNING OFF THE ROAD JUST THERE, DID YOU SEE IT, DID YOU FREAKIN' SEE TH....oh, it's gone now, taa-raam-ta-raam-tee-taah-deee, here we go" Some hairy situations because of this. It's better than it was - kinda - but not even CLOSE to as smooth as FSD seems to be... Perhaps we Autopilot-peasants will get some upgraded and smoother AP later on 😁

Hey Omar, we really like what you do to further Tesla’s foray into FSD. But would please ask Mr. Musk and Tesla team (PLEASE, PLEASE) to bring v12.5.x to hw3 folks?

[@blublum7916]

The highway not being end-end is killing me. I can't wait for that. It still does ok, but it leans out on turns into semi's and each time I have to cancel it. Also if it's not an interstate and it's 55 on a highway, take route 50 that goes almost cross country, it does that stupid picking it's own speed thing... usually going 53 if I don't press anything, it's pure pain. City driving end-end is really quite good now, so that's why I'm just begging for the same on highways. Does anyone else get random camera issues on the B-pillars? Some times says one of them is blocked. Might just need to take it in. 2023 HW4 MYP

[@robotinreallife]

Great drive and commentary! Try to find the "Deflicker" setting on your camera, set it to 60Hz or American, so that your buttons and ambient light don't flicker on video :) Oh and you're invited to Europe once FSD finally gets here for some tests! :D

[@giorgiolelmi8175]

What are you talking about?? These are led buttons and work on low-voltage DC. This is not the same 120V AC type of electricity found in outlets. If it were then there would have been even the outlets for power.

[@robotinreallife]

@@giorgiolelmi8175 I suggested the "Deflicker" setting because some cameras can pick up flickering from LED lights due to their refresh rates, even if they're low-voltage DC. By setting your camera to match the frequency (like 60Hz for American lights), you can reduce or eliminate any flickering effect on the video. It's a common issue with video production, especially when shooting in different lighting environments.

It’s works well in large US cities. If those countries want this tech, maybe they need to be more organised and reduce the chaos. It works both ways. Tesla needs to handle a lot, but cities need to enforce rules.

[@Matzes]

This always is funny to me. Fsd does not struggle with the same challenges that us human drivers have. High density traffic cities are not the issue for fsd at this moment. High traffic means slow speeds which fsd handles easily. The problems it still has are in entirely different areas.

[@luysterborgh]

@@SirHargreeves ik. So what you are saying is cities with more than 1000 years of existence have to adapt to a model that perhaps won’t survive its 250 years ?
