GAME-CHANGER! FSD 12.3 DEMO DRIVE IN MODEL Y W/ HW4

EV Channels Review

In this video, Branden Flasch provides an in-depth look at Tesla's FSD Beta 12.3.3, testing it in his 2023 Model Y equipped with Hardware 4. Flasch is notably impressed with this iteration, highlighting its significantly improved performance over previous versions. He notes that while FSD 12.3 is not yet a fully driverless solution, it has become a genuinely useful driver assistance system, reducing his need for interventions to almost zero on public roads. Key improvements include smoother cornering, better handling of complex intersections, and more human-like maneuvers. However, Flasch points out persistent issues, such as the system's struggle in parking lots, a tendency to be overly cautious or hesitant in certain situations, and a lack of refinement in speed bump detection and lane changes. He also expresses a desire for the return of the trajectory line visualization. Despite these drawbacks, Flasch concludes that FSD 12.3 represents a significant leap forward, moving him from a pessimistic to a hesitantly optimistic outlook on the future of Tesla's autonomous driving technology.
