I don't have a Tesla but I do follow FSD development and a few people who test updates on Youtube. It really seems like your experience with FSD will vary depending on where you live. I see a guy testing FSD updates in downtown Seattle and neighboring residential streets where it seems very impressive driving in traffic, one way and narrow streets with cars parked on both sides. But then I also see it do some very bizarre moves in other cities. I don't know how Tesla collects and uses self-driving data but it seems like it's different from location to location.

In downtown Seattle doesn't it drive into the monorail columns?


Beauty of frequent updates is no two trips have to be the same. Bonus points for AI models no single human can understand.


I had two Teslas (3, Y) and used FSD in Seattle.

It did not work and based on my experience, I am extremely skeptical it will ever work in places like Seattle. The car could not even navigate circling Greenlake without a disconnect.

Sold them at the high of the used car market because, in part, I estimate FSD is a liability for the brand and will, eventually, hurt their resale value. That and Elon Musk. Don't need to support that and won't in the future.
