"I estimate 90% to 95% of my driving was in FSD mode during December. It's a new state of driving that I think is safer than human driving. I spend less time worrying about where I'm going and which turn to make. Instead, my eyes are on the road and my hands are ready near the wheel, just in case."
"The latest software was impressive, but my experience revealed a glaring problem that could hamper Tesla's path toward a full, unsupervised Robotaxi service. First, the good stuff. I have a Model 3 Performance with HW4 hardware. It doesn't have a camera near the front bumper, but otherwise it's modern hardware. I also have an up-to-date version of FSD. A new state of driving. This combination resulted in an amazing FSD experience."
"Despite the ability to text while being driven now, I pay more attention to the road in FSD mode, not less. A surprise bonus: I argue (OK, debate!) less with my wife about directions when we are on FSD-powered trips together. There's no discussion about whether this or that route is better. FSD just does it. This reduces the potential for marital spats. That's probably worth the entire $100-a-month FSD subscription cost."
Tesla offered a month-long free trial of its FSD system in December and provided extensive supervised autonomous driving. The vehicle was a Model 3 Performance with HW4 hardware and an up-to-date FSD build. The software delivered an impressive, mostly trouble-free experience on long and city drives. The user spent an estimated 90%–95% of driving time in FSD mode and found it felt safer and reduced navigation stress and passenger disputes. The experience highlighted a major limitation: the system still requires an attentive human supervisor, while unsupervised, full Robotaxi capability remains the next, unresolved frontier.
