Professional, concise, and informative. You're one of the best at FSD reviews!
Thank you
@@ended3326 He's the best. Dinging FSD when it should be, singing praises only when due... Luckily, even blind believers can no longer take a nap...
He is!!! Big Fan. And I'm picky. :)
Nicely edited video speed-ups during lulls and very nice video speed resumptions. You've done many thumbs ups; where are the thumbs-downs? And what will FSD need to do to get a 10 from you, instead of a 9?
Only AI Driver is better
I get the impression that the car is now at the point where it should report bad drivers, instead of being reported for bad driving!
💯
Yes, very soon it will allow drunk drivers to get to the next bar without a ticket.
@bearlemley That all depends on when Robotaxi is ready for prime-time. It may take a bit longer to reach the point where there is an indisputably high confidence of no interventions in any area, and it would also have to rely on remote intervention should there be an issue. Also, the law would have to catch up, as right now you legally can't be the operator of any motor vehicle (that includes supervising a self-driving car) while under the influence. May take a few years for the law to catch up with the tech on that one, even after some time of successful demonstration. That would also vary state-to-state, of course.
For what it's worth, I think you do a really great job with these videos and enjoy listening to your commentary. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words and fod watching
Im loving FSD, I did hit a curb during a u-turn, but im testing the limits in Dallas. I did make a critical intervention when i engaged FSD right before getting to stopped traffic. It did not see the stopped vehicles in front and I had to slam on the brakes (car in front brake lights weren't on). The cars behind me could had smashed me like a tin can. Im more careful about how I use FSD and always give feedback. One point alot people dont consider, is even if your fully attentive, if the cars behind you aren't, and you have to intervene, you are still at risk regardless.. One day we will get there guys, just always keep this in mind. We will get there faster the more we test, just be careful how and when you decide to use it.
You just can't appreciate how well done and viewable your videos are until you watch some of the others. Unbearable to sit through them despite how excited I am to see 12.4.2. Thanks for being so damn good at this!
Huge! Perfect drive. I don't take parking lot performance seriously as long as there is no seamless route to parking lot function.
All credit to your channel for finally convincing me to go ahead and make the Tesla purchase with FSD. I can't believe how refined and polished FSD has gotten.
You'll enjoy it
Thank you for the super quick upload!
This is an excellent video reaction, informative and genuine without clickbait, annoying music or other gimmick nonsense.
I think you, not just the FSD, are getting smoother and better in your running commentary. You are articulating your thoughts in real time and your consistent route tests allow you to tell us exactly what is better and worse from version to version. Thanks for what you're doing.
As a transportation engineer for a state DOT, I see what you’re saying about the congestion delay, but that accordion affect definitely plays a part in creating MORE traffic on highways, but it shouldn’t have been applied on those arterial streets you had to use the accelerator on. Looking forward to the next release.
Waiting for my wife to wake up so that I can watch this on the big screen and get proper situational awareness. Truly hope it is a good improvement. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your reviews because I know you don’t sugar coat anything. You call it like you see it. Thanks!
I thought it handled 17:50 very well!
Great videos. Your channel has become one of my top 3 fsd channels. Keep up the great work!
TY
Which other channel is there ?
I enjoy your total honesty. You tell it like it is.
Great to see this! I always like to see your take on new FSD builds. Looking forward to getting this soon.
Best FSD reviewer by far.
Agreed. I have only been paying attention and watching videos for about a month, but what I appreciate about this channel is the fair unbiased patter throughout the videos.
I also appreciate the standardization of the routes and rating systems as well as his fair judgements on what he does and doesn’t flag.
The goal of FSD isn’t to drive the way that YOU would drive, but that it drives in a rational manner like you would expect from an Uber driver.
You can’t ding it every time it is more cautious than you would be. As long as it is consistent and reliable then it is accomplishing what it is intended to accomplish.
Thank you both
Yep, this guy and Chuck Cook are the best test drivers of FSD.
How about Dirty Tesla?
@@eugeneeugene3313 If you like Dirty Tesla, great. I find that he chatters too much off topic, and he is not the only one!
Absolutely #1, top, best FSD reviewer on CZcams. Honest, clear, and extremely informative...
Flagging: you might be occasionally too slow to flag. It was 25 seconds from merge to when you flagged. If it’s a 30 second clip then you just made it. Just giving feedback to your feedback. 😁 Much respect and thanks for your excellent reviews over a long period. Thanks.
Great work. Thanks for doing this!
You do a great job narrating the drive and actually important aspects from the point of view of someone who understands the technology deeper than the average person.
Awesome commentary, fair, useful, and encouraging. Thanks! Looking forward to getting it too.
Just love your videos. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for watching
Appreciate your well balanced views and commentary, thank youuu!
I like your style of reviews. Picking out things like following the curb, going under the speed limit, and indecisive lane changes covers most of my issues with 12.3.6
Can’t wait to get this one.
Thanks for speeding through the boring bits!
I always look for your videos when a new release has dropped to the OG testers. I always love your commentary and honest insight!!! Keep doing what your doing man!!! Preps us with what’s to come to our own Teslas!! The near future is looking up for FSD 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!
Agreed. Very nice commentary. Subscribed. I like the confidence in the product but pure objectivity.
Great video, really like how you’re testing the car, it’s good to test it down the same route and the score system is a nice touch 👍🏼 the software just keeps getting better and better.
Congratulations on getting 12.4.2 OTA. My fingers are crossed hopping I get OTA later this week. I am getting excited watching your reaction to 12.4.2 performance improvements. Thanks for excellent review.
Great video as always! Thank you.
Nice work as usual mate, from Australia.
I am looking forward to this build. 12.3.6 has been handing my 1 hour complex commute with only accelerator press interventions. Amazing considering where we were just a year ago.
I think the slow crawl at the 22th minute is because FSD didn't want to block the intersection? in case the leading car suddenly stopped, and leave no room for FSD to place itself.
Nice review looking foward to getting this newest version.
slow crawl is fine for me. I like that. The good part is it seems to be getting to opinion no longer actual issues. Be nice to see this come to more countries.
Another great job! Thanks!
Best and most credible reviewer so far .
Please consider some more NYC driving 😊🙏
Nice content and speech! Subscribed.
Great, thanks for posting
just found your channel, you got my sub
If your steering wheel is starting to peel you can get a new one from Tesla that has the horn in the center, like a normal car. The horn button location you have now is switched out with a camera button.
There is a bulletin on your steering wheel so the new/upgraded one is installed for free. I upgraded the one on my Plaid and the material feels different.. The wheel has stitching and it feels like leather, even though I know it isn't.
This is great. I can’t wait for mine to get this! I’m tired of 12.36
Excellent !!! That gives me confidence to subscribe
Great work! Thank you so much for sharing your drive with us. Question: Did you flag the need to accelerate by pressing the battery icon?
No there is a special camera button that employees and older testers get to flag things. That said, I don't flag accelerator presses it's just me wanting to move faster than what the cat has planned.
I am heartened to see the better turn radius on the right rear repeater. Maybe there is hope that 12.4 will give the ditches in my neighborhood a miss and stop trying to rip off my right rear wheel by turning too early.
A question about FSD in the S. Can you move the visualization to the main display from the drivers display. I have FSD on a 3, was thinking about upgrading to the S but when I test drove the S I couldn't see the visualization because it was blocked by the wheel. You have the yoke which doesn't cut it off but it's still impossible to see because it has a black background instead of a white background. Is that configurable on the S?
I wonder if the slow call at 21:20 has anything to do with the police car with their lights on, on the right
Good narration, hanging out driving around with black Tesla )
I also thought the cars were not parked, but was waiting in line on the road. The way the sunlight hit their backs, it seemed the red lights were on. Even I got a bit dizzy trying to figure out what was happening lol
Good logical analysis per usual.
Great review….hope I get it this week
Pretty nice. Will be interesting to see single stack in an update or two.
Great review. I can’t wait until it’s released so I can download and install it.
Pretty impressive build, so far. Two things I want to see are Chuck's unprotected left turn, and parking.
I'll try to find one
Can you test to see if chill/assertive FSD make any difference now?
Oh damn!!! This is the one!!
Going forward it would be interesting to know if you did nothing (disengage or intervention) would the car reach the destination safely? Yes, it might be going too slow or too fast or even take the wrong turn but if it was a robotaxi drive would it be successful?
Would love to see how it does with multiple left turn lanes and see how which lane is chosen. I’ve been on 12.3.6 and it never gets in the correct turning lane. Most of the time it is in lane going straight instead of the turning lane
Its awesome
Great stuff! I'd love to see how this version performs in parking lots.
Thanks for this.
Opened up the app and saw BlackTesla posted. Suddenly my Monday didn’t suck after all 👏🏽
🤓
Is FSD any where close to dealing with: toll booths (w or w/o EZ Pass), gated communities, multi level parking garages, or pulling over for emergency vehicles? Your testing videos and scorings are great and valuable. Thanks 🙏🏽
This looked great. I drive a black plaid too
💪🏾
Those were 2 great test drives with the new exciting FSD version! I agree with all your comments and assessments about the drives. I would love to see Tesla fix the unnecessary turn signals and start avoiding potholes, and they do need to smooth out that highway transition. Question: one of the roads you passed was something “DWY”. What does DWY stand for?
Great Video. How do you get approved to receive these builds earlier? Is it because you have a youtube channel? Sign up? Thank you!
In some of the places where you didn't think it was accelerating fast enough, it might have been because traffic ahead was stopped? I often don't accelerate as fast as others when I'm in stop-and-go traffic because I don't want to accelerate if I'm just going to brake again.
Great Job.
Great video! Great info… can’t wait until I get 14.4.2! I have a question.. totally off topic, but I noticed lots of small solar panels on certain telephone poles in your neighborhood. Are those feeding streetlights? Are they for another purpose? Just curious. Keep up the good work!
Yes streetlights
When it was merging into the highway was fsd version changing from 12 to 11?
Thanks man!
Now this Is nice! ❤
It's an awesome ride can't say much but learn the improved refinements
super content! great review!
On the merging just know that the software is still on version 11. Great video. Analysis top notch 👌🏾
While this is true, because the highway was so close to and on top of city streets it hadn't switched to the highway stack (v11). You know this because the words "auto" for auto-offset (a v12 feature) is still present. When it switches that goes away and your on v11 highway
We love your videos. Use SPF70+ Sunscreen !
how can you divide the screen so that the navigation is on the left and the video camera is on the right?
wow what a great review!
This is the only channel I'm frothing for updates
👍🏾
Well, looks pretty good. Less need for hands on wheel will be handy. Never thought I would care about that before I bought my Tesla but it's not long before you realize that in so many cases it's a hassle. Nice to just relax and pay attention but let the car drive in cases like this. I don't trust it much in congested areas but where I live there are plenty of places it can drive me.
How well does it do in the evening?
great job.
What button are you clicking to flag? Mine normally has to disengage to flag something
Great review and great FSD version it seems so far. I take it this version does not touch on Actual Smart Summon improvements?
No A.S.S. on this one
upvoted!!!
You could do same road side by side old VS new version
I sure hope this is the version that goes to the rest of the fleet.
I'd love to see you loop around to the highway on-ramp a bunch of times. My interest in FSD is where it can do the things that can be a bit stressful for a human driver. On-ramps in traffic and highway speed lane changes in traffic to make an exit are the two things that come to mind that I'd love to see FSD handle better than me. Right now, it seems those are two things it can't do very well, so I wouldn't pay for it at this point.
I hope you’re right and this is the one! Excellent video with a lot of information!
So have the nags been eliminated completely at this point?
No nags if you look away from the road too long but it's satisfied by just looking at the road again and they are far less annoying than the wheel nag
@@BlackTesla
Thank you, Sir! The blogs and other material I’ve found don’t seem to clarify that.
Great video, very helpful. Making a tesla FSD review interesting is insanely hard however you managed to pull it off. If you can do that, you can review anything just like Marques Brownlee
🤣
Mine is still a bit hesitation during a cross and very aggressive when it merge to highway exit branch.
I just subscribed to this channel. Just wonder is it hardware 3 or 4 in your tesla?
3
How did you get this and when does everyone else get it? 😢
Thanks BT. So is 12.4 back to single stack for city streets and highway or still separate?
Still two stacks. 12.5 should be single stack.
This!
The fact that FSD now gets 9s across the board from you is a sign that it’s only getting better. As for the transition, I suspect part of the issue is that there’s still different stacks for city and highway so hopefully on a single stack this issue will be solved.
👍
Have you tested this new version around the ghosted route/map where FSD just disables due to the location?
Yes this was resolved with a map update in 12.4.1 no longer sn issue
So thanks for the video, and ride along, and as always, excellent review, and so I agree that was a much more confident and smoother drive, and certainly it was an improvement over V12.3.6, which I’m still stuck on, and so hopefully this will be coming out to the general users of FSD, because we really need to get this out as soon as possible, because as more people who get an opportunity to use it, the quicker the transition to self driving cars being the norm, and not the exception.
So I’m driving a 2024 Model S, and I’m on HW 4, and so I was wondering what hardware are you on.
The other thing I’m hoping for is smart summon, haven’t heard much about that lately. So I have wanted that feature for a long time, and I still don’t have it, and so I am praying they start to work on getting that out to us soon, again, thank you so much for all your excellent reviews, and making sure that your followers are kept informed, as to where we’re at in this competition, to see who’s 1st to get to level 5 autonomous driving cars. Cheers 🥂
