TESLA FSD REVIEWED - THE PAST PRESENT AND V12 FUTURE WITH DIRTYTESLA

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast features an in-depth discussion on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software with Chris from Dirty Tesla. Chris, a long-time FSD user and tester, provides a comprehensive overview of its evolution from early, error-prone versions to the current state. He highlights significant improvements, such as enhanced navigation and reduced phantom braking, while also pointing out persistent frustrations, particularly with newer 'vision-only' Teslas lacking auto-park and summon capabilities due to the removal of ultrasonic sensors. The conversation delves into the upcoming V12 update, emphasizing its shift towards neural networks and away from hard-coded logic, a move Chris believes is crucial for true autonomous driving. While acknowledging the system's current limitations and the high cost, Chris expresses optimism about FSD's potential, finding it valuable for reducing driving monotony and stress, even suggesting it might be worth the $12,000 price tag for the right user. He remains cautiously hopeful for the future, particularly regarding the V12's promise of more human-like driving behavior.
