KYLE IS FINALLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT TESLA FSD BUT AUTOPILOT ENTHUSIAST IS NOT IMPRESSED W/ V12

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast features a lively discussion between Kyle and Andreas regarding their experiences with Tesla's FSD Beta v12. While Andreas initially expresses significant disappointment, citing issues like overly aggressive braking, uncomfortable creeping at red lights, and confusing turn signal usage, Kyle presents a starkly contrasting, overwhelmingly positive view. Kyle describes v12 as a "night and day difference" from previous versions, highlighting its smoothness, confidence, and human-like decision-making, to the point of being "sold" on the technology. Andreas, however, remains more reserved, noting that highway performance still seems to rely on an older stack and can be problematic. Both agree that despite improvements, it's not true autonomous driving and requires supervision. The conversation touches on pricing, with both finding the $200/month subscription reasonable but questioning the $12,000 purchase price. The core of v12's improvement is attributed to its new end-to-end neural net architecture, moving away from a code-based system.
