12:10 Road Closed? That must only apply to human drivers. I can clearly see an opening to squeeze through right here! Zooom 🚗💨

Got 12.5 last night. Basically from office curb, to front of house garage without touching steering wheel or tapping accelerator. Handled 3 stop signs like I would without hesitation like 12.3.6. Finally seeing value from my purchase of FSD since 2018. Super impressed.

The way it handled the roadworks around 9:00 onwards and ignoring the navigation is absolutely incredible. I may not have done so well myself. Outstanding.

I jumped from V12.3.6 straight to V12.5 and 1st 2 drives have been much improved. Several consistent problem areas are fixed.

[SNGolf]

My urban drives with many construction zones have also been very positive on 12.5. I'm encouraged by the rate of improvement and knowing FSD will continually improve. I can't imagine where it will be in 12 months.

Can't wait until the HW3 optimized version is released.

I went from 12.3.6 to 12.5. Things I’ve noticed right away was a more natural and gentler acceleration and a more smoother lane change into left or right turn lanes. For some reason it would turn and hesitate. Now it just goes into the turning lane right away.

Wow 8:41 that is impressive.

And Wow that is almost crazy car choosing better route than Google map navigation at 9:40🤯

Luv Metz Tech, actually get excited when I see a new video pop up

[AdamWood]

Nice quality! Thanks for the video, I hope you get more popular!
BTW it's supposed to be able to read signs competently in 12.6.x.
In 12.5.x, they are only focusing on the quality of the drive, human hand signals, summon, banish & merging the highway stack to v12.
I'm excited to see what other features 12.6 might get, like possibly navigating parking garages, respecting railroad crossing gates, yielding to emergency vehicles, communicating road dynamics with other Teslas, and possibly Grok LLM integration.

12.5 for only a few days now. I will be subscribing when my free trial runs out!

And that's just FSD AI!
We got the same incredible progress coming with ALL tech! 😃

That truck had the right of way if it was clear for you both. It was at the intersection first. That is a very common mistake people make in that situation. I made a move in a similar situation and my then wife scared me freaking out. I told her, like that truck I had the right of way, she disagreed. Days later she out of the blue said, "You were right." I'm responding, "What?" I had no clue what she was referring to. She then tells me she asked Robert the Megestrate at the civil court where she was a clerk what was the correct thing to do. She wanted to hear she was right, but Robert told her to listen to the old man, me, that I was right.

Great video. Looking forward to trying out 12.5.

I have been using FSD whenever possible since 2018. It only got to where passengers didn't realize it was on this year. And only got to where I was infrequently irritated this spring. Latest version before 12.5 does my commute in heavy traffic with highway and city streets nearly all by itself. Looks like 12.5 is the next big leap. People don't understand how freakin' crazy good this software is. Still gotta get it to work in sub-optimal weather, and a few other bits like that, but it's stunningly cool software.

I got it today too and tried it, and it is vastly improved over 12.4. Had a lot of similar experiences to yours.

[hoofzy]

I woke up at 4am to the message at 1am to download! First drive was iffy, failing a few of my usual edge cases. It ended with me taking over as it was turning into a store and cut it too close with an on coming car. It probably would have been fine but better safe. My afternoon drive from supercharger to my house was flawless.

[paulmeynell]

Great video, looking forward to the stack merge. Want to see it be that good on the highway. Some interesting times a head.

[jerrybowen]

Nice presentation! I wanted to chime in. We had a nearly identical experience in our 2024 M3 RWD. Received 12.5 early in the morning two days ago. Compared to 12.3.6, a lot of minor issues, mostly just peculiarities, are completely gone. Really enjoying FSD. It's the best $8k I ever spent. Can't wait for YouTube premium. Yee-haw!

Really mind blowing.
The software basics for Teslabot are improving daily and Tesla Robotaxis will appear
sooner than we think.
Time to buy more Tesla stock.
