MASSIVE TESLA MODEL Y EAST COAST ROAD TRIP USING FREE FULL SELF DRIVING TRIAL - PART 1

EV Channels Review

This video documents the initial leg of a substantial East Coast road trip in a 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range, focusing heavily on the performance and user experience of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) trial. The reviewer, Dave, highlights both the impressive advancements in FSD, particularly its smoother highway driving, proactive lane changes, and natural braking, and its occasional erratic behavior, such as a sudden steering wheel jerk that caused minor injury. Despite initial skepticism, Dave expresses growing confidence in the updated FSD stack, especially on highways, noting its ability to make the journey less stressful. The trip also touches upon Tesla's recent FSD price reduction and changes to referral credits. Charging stops at Royal Farms and Sheetz are detailed, with observations on charging speeds and the convenience of the Supercharger network. While the FSD's city driving capabilities are yet to be fully explored, the highway performance is deemed significantly improved and natural-feeling, making the overall road trip experience more enjoyable.
