TESTING CYBERTRUCK FSD ON A 120+ MILE TRIP! IS IT WORTH $8,000?

EV Channels Review

This review tests Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package on the Cybertruck over a 120+ mile journey, evaluating its performance and the $8,000 price tag. The reviewer highlights several pros, including impressive city driving performance, smooth navigation through complex intersections with temporary stop signs, and adept handling of a winding canyon road. The system's ability to patiently wait for pedestrians and its natural-feeling braking and acceleration in traffic were also praised. The safety feature of monitoring driver attention was noted positively. However, significant cons emerged. The FSD frequently hugged the left side of the lane, sometimes crossing lane markers and entering adjacent lanes, which is identified as a major safety concern. The system also struggled with lane changes on the highway, often remaining in slower lanes despite open faster lanes being available. Issues were also noted with navigating a parking garage and a confusing exit scenario. The reviewer concludes that while the system shows promise, particularly in city driving and canyons, the current early release is "not ready for prime time" due to these significant kinks and safety concerns, suggesting Tesla might have benefited from further development before release.
