What I have noticed about FSD experiences is nothing that happens to you actually matters because since installing 14.3.10 my wipers will not stop and I have gotten more clean your windshield alerts then I have received in the last 2 years...
Cameras could not, imo, be cleaner.

I've said many times the one camera missing (for sure) is a front facing A pillar on the side where the driver would be. There's a lot I can see from behind the wheel that is occluded by vehicle ahead to the front camera mounted in the center of the vehicle.
But then again, we'd have another camera that we would have to precision clean :)
This is one of the most concerning FSD interventions I’ve seen.
FSD 14.3.5, Australia, Hurry mode, on a two-way 100 km/h highway, today.
My friend Troy was following a car doing ~85 km/h when FSD accelerated toward 100 and initiated an overtake, despite not having a clear view far enough down the oncoming lane.
Then an oncoming car appeared.
Troy immediately braked and disengaged. At those speeds, there was very little margin for error.
Initially I blamed vision-only, but LiDAR probably wouldn't have solved this either. The oncoming car was occluded by the vehicle ahead.
That's actually the bigger problem. FSD couldn't see what was coming... and went anyway.
Occluded doesn't mean clear. It means UNKNOWN.
And even supervised, that's concerning. Troy was hypervigilant and reacted immediately. What if the driver was distracted for just a few seconds?
FSD can be incredibly impressive, but potentially catastrophic decisions like this are why I don't believe Tesla is anywhere near having autonomy solved yet.
Before you remove the human safety net, these are the failures you have to engineer out.
Can't confirm it's clear? Don't overtake.

If my grandma was still alive I think she'd also be working on self driving software 😔
New Video From @motionaldrive (Hyundai AV Robotaxi)
“No one likes a sudden stop, especially on Las Vegas Blvd. When a truck merged to reveal a stopped construction vehicle, we safely merged to clear the hazard and kept up with traffic, ensuring a smooth ride.”
They currently run supervised Hyundai Ioniq 5’s in Las Vegas & can be booked on the Uber app. They are supposed to be driverless by end of year, I would recommend trying out the service.

This is why I laugh when people say you will get 4 to 5 mi/kWh in a Tesla. It's just not true in the real world.
Great test tbh.
This is about 230 mi on a charge for cars rated over 340mi.
This is why we need larger capacity batteries. Add in winter temps and this is in the 100s.

While I appreciate the app that was made for @ChuckCook first impression drive, this is a problem that Tesla needs to address.
I can use ABRP and add throughpoints, blacklist chargers, save trips with multiple stops with round trip options.
Anthony ABRP can do should be done.
