DRIVING ITSELF! TESLA FULL SELF-DRIVING IS BETTER THAN MOST HUMAN DRIVERS - FSD 13.2.9 DEMO

EV Channels Review

This video showcases a continuous drive test of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) v13.2.9 in a 2025 Model Y LR RWD with Hardware 4. The reviewer, Branden Flasch, highlights the system's impressive performance over 24.2 miles with zero interventions, excluding a planned car wash. Key strengths demonstrated include navigating unprotected left turns, roundabouts, busy shopping complexes, and even self-recovery from a 'no-left-turn' trap by reversing. The reviewer notes FSD's courteous pedestrian behavior and its ability to handle interstate merges and exits competently. However, FSD still struggles with potholes and manhole covers, and its Supercharger stall selection can be 'stubborn' and inefficient, sometimes requiring manual intervention or nudging. The integration between FSD and Autopark is also identified as a weak point. Despite these minor drawbacks, Flasch concludes that FSD is a significant factor in purchasing decisions, offering a superior experience to most human drivers and even personal chauffeurs in urban environments.
