Tesla FSD vs NYC: The Ultimate Full Self Driving Showdown!

Join me and Kyle as we take our 2023 Tesla Model Y with FSD (Beta) v 11.4.4 in arguably the hardest challenges of them all: Brooklyn NY City Streets. You be the judge if this is ready for prime time or not!

Man, they both missed the scooter doing a wheelie through the intersection at 12:45 😂

[benserio]

I would much rather buy another car for $12k than pay for FSD Beta. I love my Model 3, but I will not participate in this! 😂

[bartwaggoner]

When you see what happened in SF with Cruise, you realize Tesla has to be super cautious around humans, which is the source of much of the braking etc. you see here

[Oxmustube]

I know FSD sucks but Kyle screaming Go Go Go! with a pedestrian crossing is funny.

[gabecimoch]

FSD is VERY cautious about people. They are definitely a really high focus. Most of the times it stopped were because someone was in the cross walk on the other side. People in cities don't have patients so they always want to just "GO! GO! GO!"(Kyle 2023).

[ArnoldWinters]

This is exactly why I would never pay $12K for FSD. I have 3 months of free FSD and it phantom brakes, it hesitates too much, and it pisses people off behind me.

[Psychopappy]

I watched this again. Note I love TESLA and one day I will get one. That said if you buy fsd. You're a sucker!

[mikoske]

New York traffic seems brutal! People walking have no respect for traffic lights

I liked the video as entertainment, I tried 11.3.6 some time ago and it was really fun. But I have to say almost every time you complained of the car not going at an intersection there was people at the crosswalk in the car's path, so I agree it might feel unnatural, but it is erring on the safety side, because imagine if a bad accident happens on FSD. It will stop or delay development enormously. So in order to move forward you need to be extra careful until this is out of beta. I also agree sometimes it messes up, but I think it is wrong for you to expect the car to drive the same way that you drive. Everybody drives differently. It still an amazing technology and I can't wait to see newer versions.

What a great video, fabulous entertainment.
It's a work in progress, will be interesting to see the new teck working in 12.
Thanks guys, fun, fun, fun.

Every single comment you made has crossed my mind numerous times as I've driven with FSD on. I rarely use it because it just causes stress where there isn't usually stress. I didn't think of the "speeding up the footage" aspect of others here posting their FSD videos. I literally thought it was almost unique to me. The delays, the jerking steering wheel from left to right and back, the random blinker activations--sometimes in the wrong direction, and random braking just irritate the #$%^ out of me.

Autopilot isn't a panacea either, mostly because of the random braking. My ID.4 performed better in the auto-steering and adaptive cruise control realm. This is one reason I just roll my eyes when I see the Tesla fan-people rave about either FSD or Autopilot.

[manishrantube]

This is a real test of FSD beta unlike what other Tesla bros do on YouTube. Clearly it's not even close to being useful in normal cities.

[pkerpaya]

Thank you Kyle, and Dave! Demonstrating that FSD is not quite ready yet. Subjugating yourselves to numerous horn blasts, and several international hand signals for "Your number one!". It's hard work guys! A toast to the Conner boys ladies and gentleman!

[StayConnectedEV]

I love reading on X where people tell you the drove entirely through Los Angeles.. LOL Now you can see for yourself it cant be done as NY is same.

[sarinotropeano]

Thanks for the video. Not only for the content but also for the great chemistry the two of you have.

[jeffkaiser]

Self driving is just not there yet. I would pay $12, 000 to shut it off!

[Paidoolivinho]

I love my model 3 and I love my Auto Pilot to travel long distances, I fell much less tired after driving 12 hours day for my 2 jobs. On my way to work and on my way back from work I always use Auto Pilot in highways and routes, not into cities and where traffic is crazy, but the Auto Pilot works pretty good with busy traffic and I’m happy.

[jasontran]

FSD someday become a norm of auto industry, don't underestimate science

[dusty-vogh]

I can just imagine Kyle teaching is daughter or son to drive. Go go go, but dad there's a pedestrian, just go. 😂
