TESLA FSD V12.3.6 IS DISAPPOINTING WITH HW4

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses significant disappointment with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) v12.3.6 on Hardware 4 (HW4) equipped vehicles, specifically a Model X Plaid. Despite initial high expectations, the performance was found to be a step backward compared to the same FSD version running on Hardware 3 (HW3) in a Model Y Performance. The reviewer encountered issues with the car's handling of unprotected turns, a "dip" in the road (exhibiting both too much speed and excessive braking), and a general lack of smoothness. Autopark and parallel parking attempts were also problematic, with the system failing to detect other vehicles and requiring manual intervention. The reviewer notes that even switching to "chill" mode did not improve acceleration behavior. Overall, the experience with HW4 was deemed less satisfactory than HW3, leading to a feeling of disappointment and a desire to understand the discrepancies.
