Brian Wang The early reviews for the Tesla FSD (Full Self driving supervised driver assist) are stellar. The reports are the at it is super smooth, great turns, great speed control and it feels dramatically improved. Whole Mars says this ain’t just some normal update something is very different. FSD 12.5 first drive impressions: •⁠ ⁠by far the smoothest version of FSD ever. the way it approaches stopped traffic, takes off, slows down for turns, etc etc has never felt better. turns feel drastically improved too, especially around other traffic (like multiple turn lanes). feels like there’s zero indecisiveness on the steering wheel and feels CONFIDENT •⁠ ⁠“creeping” behavior improved, every unprotected turn it has been through so far it creeps and continues without coming to a secondary stop or even slowing back down. does them in “one motion” if that makes sense. will obviously need more testing on unprotected turns in general to form a real opinion though •⁠ ⁠no more speed control issues where it speeds up and then slows back down (so far, at least). it still does speed a little fast in my neighborhood (33mph in a 25) but stays at a consistent speed now •⁠ ⁠I tried to wear sunglasses and it disabled driver monitoring, meaning it still has steering wheel nags with sunglasses on 🙁 •⁠ ⁠highway definitely still feels like the old stack to me and not end-to-end. might not have made it into this release. no release notes and it still displays messages on the screen like “changing lanes into faster lane” and has manual speed control (no auto max speed). also doesn’t feel as smooth as city driving with its acceleration and braking •⁠ ⁠my first ~35 mile drive to the supercharger was completely intervention free, charging up to do more testing in Concord, CA now because 12.4 struggled a lot here FSD 12.5 first drive impressions: – by far the smoothest version of FSD ever. the way it approaches stopped traffic, takes off, slows down for turns, etc etc has never felt better. turns feel drastically improved too, especially around other traffic (like multiple turn lanes).…
