1st Drive Tesla FSD v12.5 Part 1

This is a limited release and not many people have this version. My Mind is Blown and this version of Tesla FSD is Passenger Approved. This time FSD v12.5 is really impressive. This is Part 1 to keep the video somewhat short. Thank you for watching.

Did my first 40 minute work commute this morning with 12.5. It fixes every issue 12.3.6 had except for sometimes driving too slow. I did have to disengage for route disagreements but other than that completely hands free. It’s great.

“Passenger approved” good test. Cruise control hunting in the 70’s, and hybrid motor transition early 2000’s had issues and were fixed. My what a time to be alive!

Tesla investor without a driving license here. Really appreciate these videos. Mindblowing how good it's getting. Keep it up!

12.5 is extremely impressive. I fricken love it and makes me even more excited for what’s to come going forward

This was awesome, just mind-blowing progress. Like your style of presentation and commentary a lot. Your channel deserves to explode.

[franciscofernandez]

well commented ...with real added value compared to other YouTubers! ...keep it up!

Please try that again in the dark when it's raining and foggy. I'd like to see how they've improved their inclement driving algorithms.

Great video and presentation/style - concise and to the point - thanks!

[paulmeynell]

Great video . And it looked to drive better than most of my friends!

A few things I noticed this morning -
1) on a two lane road without lane markings or other traffic, it wanted to be too near to the center of the road
2) doesn't seem to want to exceed the speed limit (or get close to it in some cases) without me encouraging it with the accelerator each time.
3) lane planning wasn't too good, for an upcoming right it stayed in the center lane, and for an upcoming straight ahead stayed in the right only lane.
Other than the above, very smooth and an incremental improvement on the previous version

4:55 to 5:10. Perfectly executed entry to the left turn lane by FSD. It Entered a designated left turn lane at the opening (gap between the solid yellow lines and solid while line.) It did not cross any solid line.

Looking forward to seeing FSD videos in the UK

I think for Summon and Banish Tesla needs to provide some extra insurance that we can buy that handles any cases where nobody was in the car. I am not sure if my normal insurance covers that and I also dont want to take on that risk if I am not in control and not fully covered.

Got the new update to FSD 12.5 last night. I currently do not select the Auto-Speed option as I like to have the ability to throttle the speed up or down for weather or situational issues (i.e., slow down when passing an emergency vehicle on another lane or adjoining shoulder).

[troydelgado]

1:40 to 1:45. Great execution of passing a bicyclist. Don’t try to pass the bicyclist with little clearance or squeeze them off the road. In California it explicitly states to give bicyclist 3 feet of clearance. Stay behind the bicyclist until it is safe to pass.

Some states make an exception for slow-moving bicycles or other obstructions in your travel lane. In Florida, for example, you may cross the lines when an obstruction exists, making driving to the left of the highway’s center necessary. When a bicyclist is traveling so slowly as to constitute an obstruction, a motorist may cross the center line in a no-passing zone if the way is clear and it is safe to do so.

Congratulations.
You'll probably grow your channel a lot once this gets shared.

🎉🎉🎉We’re getting close to Robo Taxi 🚀🚀🚀!!! I can’t wait to get it in my 2023 MYLR🤗

At first slowly, then suddenly. People have no idea what’s coming.

[JoshFlorii]

I was thinking, no wonder they haven't added full reverse yet... there's probably 10, 000x times as much training data on forward driving. Good drive! Try some left turns onto manchester at rush hour.
