Great video. I have been using FSD in one version or another for 8000 miles. Avast majority on city streets in heavy traffic. I am currently on 12.3.6. In past versions, making a drive without a disengagement was rare. Now it is rare to make a drive with a disengagement. Still waiting for 12.4.3.

I like the way you narrate, crisp and clear...

I just picked up my '24 Model 3 Performance and I couldnt be more excited. I hate road trips, especially to see family thats a couple states away. 85% of the trip is just straight highway, but I am so glad I'll be able to use the hands-free FSD one day soon when I get the update!

I love 12.4.3.. The lane swerving is still around but rare. Occasionally it makes weird adjustments off the navigation route. I find it much better judging the speed on roads using autospeed. It feels less aggressive making right turns than it used to. However it passes most of my local edge cases. I have 2 where there is a small road before a stop sign or a stop line before train tracks. It used to stop at both lines but now it'll roll through to the actual sign like a normal driver. I spent 5 hours using FSD on Saturday it is so relaxing. One if these days I'll edit the videos together. Best part? 0 nags.

I have fsd and I still hesitate to use it…your videos do give me confidence. Appreciate the videos👍🏼

I think much of the FSD fear is rooted in people who have had zero real word experience with FSD or from v11 horror stories. I am lucky enough to only know v12. It is still not perfect but it is definitely on the path to being unsupervised sooner rather than later.

Great video. Thanks! I just got my first tesla a few weeks ago and got FSD with it (12.3.6). As a FSD lover...but also with 4 strikes against me already...I can't wait for 12.4.3. I still don't understand how FSD disengaged me so many times. I make sure to be watching the road to the point that I don't notice the flashing warning on the screen. It happens even when I know my hands are on the wheel. Maybe they aren't on strongly enough. Another question I have is that several times when I have reached my destination and FSD says it has completed, it still brings up the message asking to record why I disengaged it. Thanks!.

Ive used fsd a lot and this version has been the best by far. However i do not like its behavior around trucks and under overpasses. Thete were 2 instances where i had to disengage because trucks were crossing over into my lane and the car wasnt reacting to it by keeping to the left hand side of the lane instead it kept itself centered. Sure its 100 petcent the trucks fault if a collision occurs there due to their lane drifitng but still. Also i still occasionally experience phantom breaking when it goes under and over pass and is drawn into sudden darkness from a bright setting. Almost caused an accident!

Watching these kinds of videos stress me out! I can't imagine actually being behind the wheel with full self-driving engaged.

I have had my model Y since march, the first version of FSD it had was before the full AI model. I now have 12.3.6 and I have yet to have a full drive where I did not have a intervention, or 4. I am wondering if it is something I have trained into it.

I do still enjoy the system, just wish that the personality settings had more difference between them.

I am looking forward to 12.4.3, thank you for sharing your video

The navigation system is FSD's biggest weakness. To be fair, I think it is mostly using Google Maps and its APIs for routing, but it isn't as easy to use as it could be. I have to plan some trips carefully, paying attention to how the system wants to route me and adding way-points to force it to use the route that I, as a local, know works better.

you might want to set the tentacle to solid blue instead of rainbow as it is easier to see on a small computer screen.

My 2024 Model 3 AWD LR is on 2024.14.9 and I subscribe to FSD monthly. Not sure when I'll get the new update for FSD 12.4.3. (2024.15.15)?

[andrewvercillo]

I think the car got over fine. It saw the cop out of his car and walking on the grass. Therefore no need to get over 2 more feet. Another instance the car could see better than human and better decision.

I wonder why 12.4.3 has been limited to 5% of the people with FSD and hasn't been going wide.

[StanZabroda]

Installed on my 2024 M3. Multiple issues. Update didn’t finish properly and had a black screen. After rebooting car shows 2024.15.15 installed but it’s trying to download again the same update and it’s been stuck on 50% for 2 days now.

I ended up doing reinstall using service mode.

It works but FSD toggle keeps switching off every time I drive and other settings change by itself when I shift from park to drive.

I guess that’s one of the the reasons they stopped rollout

[RazvanMarc]

man, i cant wait to get 12.4, i hate 12.3 its way to cautious than v11.

Lay down in the backseat & do your play by play talking while FSD does all the driving to say somewhere busy
