The Tesla Full Self Driving suite is a bit of an enigma. I’ve had it for 1½ years, and since long before I’ve had it, I’ve seen some people with the software suite raving about how amazing it is. Indeed, that the car is somewhat able to drive anywhere is a major technical feat. However, when I got access to FSD in October 2021, I was shocked at how bad it was. I had followed the social media hype about it for a year, and I expected it to be far less error prone than it ended up being.
Why do I call it an enigma? For one, the fact that some people claim it is so good and that they can drive long distances without intervening is mind blowing to me. From my experience with it, I can’t imagine how that’s possible. Secondly, I expected some seemingly simple issues to be fixed pretty promptly, and they haven’t been.
There are many Tesla owners with FSD who share my opinion on the technology’s development up to now. Some of those people are still bullish about Tesla FSD getting to robotaxi capability with the tech that is currently in our cars, but I’d hazard to guess that most of these owners think hardware improvements are needed first, and some portion of these FSD testers are like me and presume there may be some critical errors in the software approach. Who’s right? I definitely do not claim to know.
I still need more time using FSD to confirm my initial experiences with the improved right turn. I am also curious to determine how close it is to normal human driving that could pass for robotaxi-level driving. Will the public ever accept full-blown Tesla robotaxis on their own?
