FSD v14 Lite first impressions - very positive and it feels like a huge step forward for HW3. but there’s still room for improvement.

It’s noticeably smoother than 12.6.4, and parking and unparking is impressive - the car can finally reverse in FSD! The updated UI make the experience feel much closer to what AI4 owners have.

It’s not perfect yet. There were still a few hesitations and moments where it was overly cautious, like on an advance left turn signal where it hesitated several times in the intersection, as if it was unsure it was allowed to go with oncoming traffic waiting.

Parking and unparking was impressive because it’s a brand new feature for HW3, but it wasn’t perfect. In one attempt it pulled nose in about 95% of the way, then just sat there for ~15 seconds before it backed up tried again, this time successfully. Another time it parked exactly in the middle of two spots after driving by numerous open soots.

I did have one disengagement and it was navigation related - it could not find the Uptown Supercharger in Victoria. It’s not the easiest Supercharger to find in underground parking (IYKYK), and the navigation (blue line) ended well before the Supercharger itself, so it drove straight by. It circled the parking lot and had to go around the block to try again, but it did the exact same thing so I had to disengage. Maybe a @TeslaCharging site map would’ve helped.

There was also one intervention while waiting to turn right on a red light. The car did not move for several seconds after it was clear and I had to push the accelerator as there were people behind me getting impatient.

But there was one mind blowing moment though. It recognized my home as a charger, so I selected that as the parking option. It backed in and placed the car perfectly between the edge of the driveway and a camping trailer on the other side - maybe six inches on either side. I literally could not have parked it better.

Looking forward to putting in more time behind the wheel and seeing how it improves with future updates.

Amazing work by the @Tesla_AI team @aelluswamy 👏

@eu_bike Can't you just put it in drive and then change the mode before doing anything else?

Starship flight 13 scrubbed due to weather.

Third try tomorrow 🤞 🚀

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Now targeting Friday, July 24 for Starship’s thirteenth flight test, due to weather.

A key objective for the flight test is to get clear imagery from the ground of Starship’s heatshield as it flies at a higher dynamic pressure during ascent, which won't be possible with today's weather conditions. Visibility is forecast to be ideal for a Friday attempt.
