"Two Tesla influencers were riding in a brand new Model Y "Juniper," a refreshed version of the automaker's most popular car. Sitting in the driver's seat was the content creator "Bearded Tesla Guy," who'd just begun a coast-to-coast road trip with his friend to put the vehicle's "Full Self-Driving" tech to a continent-spanning test."
"The Full Self-Driving software doesn't seem to take notice, though. The Tesla barrels over the object and bouncesfrom the road dramatically. After considerable airtime, it makes a hard landing, and the driver finally intervenes by forcing the car to pull over. They hadn't even left California, and the car had already crashed. "This is not how I anticipated it starting," Bearded Tesla can heard saying in the video."
Two Tesla influencers rode in a refreshed Model Y "Juniper" to test Full Self-Driving (FSD) on a coast-to-coast road trip. About 60 miles into the trip, the vehicle failed to detect a durable metal girder on the freeway and drove over it, becoming airborne and landing hard. The driver then pulled the car over. The crash damaged the Model Y's suspension, including a broken sway bar bracket. No injuries occurred. The incident underscores persistent limitations of FSD, which still requires human supervision and has faced regulatory scrutiny in California over its misleading name.
