I FINALLY GOT TESLA FSD BETA! FIRST DRIVE AND RAW IMPRESSIONS IN MY MODEL S AT NIGHT

EV Channels Review

Kyle Conner's initial drive with Tesla's FSD Beta in his Model S reveals a system with impressive capabilities but significant room for improvement, particularly in nighttime driving conditions. While the visualizations are lauded for their detail, the system frequently exhibits erratic behavior, sending mixed signals to other drivers with inconsistent turn signal usage and abrupt braking or acceleration. The reviewer highlights a lack of clear instructions from Tesla on how to properly use the system, emphasizing the potential for misuse by the general public. Despite its advanced features, the FSD Beta's performance, especially during left turns and complex intersections, is described as clunky and confusing, leading to a strong recommendation for drivers to remain highly attentive and take over control frequently. The reviewer expresses a desire to like the technology but is ultimately frustrated by its current unreliability and the mixed signals it sends.
