I TRIED TAKING MY WIFE TO WORK USING TESLA'S MODEL Y FULL SELF DRIVING

EV Channels Review

The reviewer tested Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability on a Model Y, comparing it to a previous Cybertruck experience. While the Model Y's FSD performed better than the Cybertruck in several scenarios, particularly with lane changes and navigating traffic circles, it still exhibited concerning behaviors. The system struggled with complex intersections, unprotected left turns, and situations requiring nuanced judgment, leading to several 'butt-clenching' moments for the driver. Despite improvements, the reviewer concluded that FSD is not yet worth the $8,000 price tag, especially for city driving, though freeway performance was deemed acceptable. The reviewer highlighted the need for frequent manual intervention, particularly in busy urban environments, and expressed a desire for a more affordable, freeway-only FSD version.
