FSD 12.5 IS SO GOOD! NEAR PERFECT FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth first drive of Tesla's FSD v12.5, highlighting significant improvements in smoothness and natural driving behavior compared to previous versions. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the system's ability to handle complex scenarios like merging, navigating stop signs with stop-and-go traffic, and executing unprotected left turns with confidence and precision. The reviewer notes that many previous issues, such as hesitant lane changes and jerky movements, appear to be resolved. While the current version excels at core driving tasks, the reviewer expresses anticipation for upcoming features like reverse driving, FSD on Cybertruck, and enhanced highway Autopilot capabilities, which are expected in future 12.5x updates. Despite a minor hiccup with a closed road scenario, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, with the reviewer finding the system to be remarkably intuitive and reliable, allowing for a hands-off driving experience.
