I TRIED TESLA'S FSD BETA - 10 MILE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

In this episode of The EV Geek Podcast, the host conducts a 10-mile, unedited test drive of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software in a Tesla Model Y. The journey included a mix of residential streets, highways, and construction zones. The reviewer was generally impressed, noting only one significant intervention required to avoid a collision upon arrival at the destination and a few instances of needing to apply force to the steering wheel. The FSD system successfully navigated roundabouts, traffic lights (including a right turn on red), and highway merges. The reviewer highlighted positive changes in the FSD interface graphics following a recent software update (v12.36). While acknowledging minor hard braking incidents and one instance where manual lane change was needed, the overall verdict is highly positive, deeming the system "99% Flawless" and noting significant improvements since initial purchases.
