TESLA FSD V12: BREAKTHROUGH WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR?

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Daily podcast reviews the highly anticipated FSD Beta v12, highlighting Elon Musk's live demonstration. While not perfect, with one disengagement and a wide turn, the system generally performed smoothly and comfortably on a Hardware 3 vehicle. The most significant revelation is the architectural shift to an end-to-end neural network, drastically reducing the reliance on traditional C++ code. This fundamental change, despite visually similar performance to v11.4.7, promises accelerated improvement cycles. The podcast also touches on Tesla's substantial investment in compute power, including new Nvidia H100 clusters, and the ongoing challenges of data acquisition and refinement. Updates on Project Highland (Model 3 refresh) and Cybertruck sightings are briefly mentioned, alongside a notable price reduction for Tesla's Megapack. Hardware 4 software is expected to lag behind Hardware 3 by at least six months.
