FSD NEEDS MORE WORK, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a candid 90-day assessment of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta on a 2023 Model X Plaid. While acknowledging FSD's technological advancement compared to competitors, the reviewer ultimately decides against purchasing it due to persistent issues and the high cost. Key criticisms include unnatural acceleration from stops, hesitant left turns, misinterpretation of construction spotlights as oncoming vehicles, and a failure to adapt to alternate routes or road dips. The reviewer also notes the cabin camera's sensitivity, which frequently disengages FSD, and expresses concern over the "beta" label on a $12,000 software package. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer suggests FSD could be a compelling value proposition if included with top-tier trims, potentially driving sales of higher-spec models.
