I LOST SELF DRIVING IN MY TESLA FOR DOING THIS

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly investigates the consequences of misusing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta, particularly focusing on the "strike" system. The reviewer discovers that striking out is significantly harder than anticipated, with many actions initially perceived as strikes being mere warnings. Actions like covering the cabin camera or using a phone typically result in warnings, not strikes. True strikes are issued for ignoring repeated audible and visual alerts. The reviewer successfully triggers the system's shutdown by ignoring warnings, leading to FSD being unavailable for the remainder of the drive. The ultimate penalty for accumulating five strikes is a temporary removal of FSD for approximately one week, a consequence the reviewer finds acceptable. While impressed by FSD's capabilities, especially its improved smoothness compared to older versions, the reviewer questions the $15,000 price tag, suggesting a value closer to $3,000-$5,000. They also highlight a perceived disconnect between the FSD experience and the more abrupt Autopilot, expressing a desire for Autopilot to receive similar refinements.
