LET'S STRESS TEST FSD 12.5!

EV Channels Review

This video stress-tests Tesla's FSD 12.5 in a 2024 Model 3, focusing on challenging scenarios like detours, roundabouts, and city traffic. The reviewer notes improvements in smoothness compared to previous versions, particularly in handling roundabouts and general city driving, with fewer jarring stops. However, FSD 12.5 still struggles significantly with road closure signs, repeatedly attempting to navigate through them or getting stuck in parking lots. A critical failure occurred when the system failed to stop for a red light, requiring immediate driver intervention. While FSD 12.5 demonstrates better handling of speed bumps and some pedestrian interactions, its inability to reliably interpret road closure signs and the critical red light failure highlight areas needing substantial improvement. The reviewer concludes that while FSD is progressing, it still requires significant development, especially regarding road signage and critical safety situations.
