TESLA GAVE ME FULL SELF DRIVING FOR FREE IT WENT CRAZY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer received a free one-month trial of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability on their 2020 Model Y. The primary focus was testing FSD's ability to handle phantom braking on specific road sections and its performance on an unmarked, construction-zone road. While FSD successfully navigated the phantom braking zones without issue on this occasion, it exhibited aggressive and concerning behavior, including cutting off a BMW and nearly causing an accident on an unmarked road. The reviewer notes that FSD's "assertive" mode can lead to unpredictable and potentially unsafe maneuvers, though they also acknowledge its ability to coach the vehicle and its impressive performance on the unmarked road. Despite the aggressive tendencies, the reviewer finds FSD to be a cool technology and a worthwhile demo, especially given the free trial, but questions the $88,000 price tag for the full package if it still requires intervention. The video also touches on Tesla's continuous software updates for older models, contrasting it with other manufacturers.
