My Tesla standard Model Y has Swing Mode where the front air vents oscillate side to side so airflow distributes evenly throughout the car. The thing that many people do not know about Tesla is that they don’t wait for a “new model year” to add new features. They don’t sit around planning for a 2025 version or a 2026 version. When a feature is ready, the team just builds it into the cars right then and there. You get whatever the latest tech is the moment your Tesla rolls out of the factory. This is one of the key differences between Tesla and legacy auto.

I found the steepest, unplowed hill in my area and tested the following:

• FSD 14.2.1 on summer tires
• FSD 14.2.1 on winter tires
• Manual driving

But I think the most impressive part was how FSD went DOWN the hill. FSD in the snow is sublime $TSLA

I’ll be test driving this new Model Y Performance over the next week.

It looks even more 🔥 in person

This guy’s Cybertruck just drove itself 1,200 miles from Chicago to Cape Canaveral, Florida without him touching the wheel or pedals a single time. How is everyone not talking about this?! Self-driving cars aren’t some far-off thing, they’re already here!

Tesla FSD V14.2.1 pulls into driveway, backs into double door garage, even comes in at an angle, and cuts into the wall to give more space between cars.

Elon is building tunnels while literally burying ~99% of the cost that takes to build it

US Traditional subway tunnels cost ~$2.5 BILLION per mile

The moment Elon saw traditional tunnel costs, he said: "These are crazy numbers"

The @BoringCompany didn’t just lower costs, they built tunnels for ~$27M per mile that are more reliable, simpler, and built for the future.....

That's not 10% or 50% cheaper
That's ~99% cheaper!

Even adjusted for size, the efficiency gap is unexplainable

With new Prufrock, they're targeting for just $10M per mile

The gap is so massive, it changes everything:
> Cities can afford 10x more transit routes Point-to-point travel (no stops)
> Less time stuck in traffic
> Taxpayers stop paying inflated costs for outdated infrastructure

The media ignores this, but Elon is quietly rewriting the infrastructure of the future

FSD just gained a new lifetime user.

I saw this posted on reddit and thought I would share it here.

I am not a regular subscriber, but I was getting over COVID. With the foggy brain I subscribed to FSD just for the month to help me get around while recovering. I am fully recovered but get to enjoy the rest of the month of FSD. Car updated from 13.2.9 yesterday to 14.2. Today on my way home this happened!

I couldn't figure out why it was slamming on the brakes until a mere second before the deer jumped out. I am so thankful. It doesn't replace human intervention but all the extra 'eyes' help. I'm still in shock and so happy I didn't destroy the deer and the car.

Your Tesla will automatically pull over if you fall asleep, potentially saving your life.

Don’t let your loved ones drive in anything else.

A Washington man is shaken up, but still standing after a near head-on collision while driving to Utah after the Tesla Shareholder's meeting.

The only reason he's still here for the holidays? He says his Cybertruck SAVED his life, making a split second decision long before a human would be able to intervene.
His message is simple, Full Self Driving Supervised saved his life.

@Clifford98506 shared his story with me in Portland and I think it's a story worth sharing.

Full interview in comments.

First drive & impressions of FSD 14.2 in South Central Texas. I just received the update on my 2025 Model 3 & went out to test it on some areas where FSD has had difficulties in previous versions including the previous FSD 14.1.7 and also to get overall impressions.

Overall, it did well over about 45 miles of driving on rural highways, congested areas with lots of traffic, construction, grocery store busy parking lots & rural post office destinations. Although in general it did very well in a variety of situations, a few stood out that I want to highlight where I did have disconnects & unusual behaviors that seem to have been introduced with FSD 14.2.

Summary of Strengths: Smooth, confident most of the time, and polished. Felt comfortable at all times while FSD was driving the car. This includes all of the driver settings (Sloth, Chill, Standard, Hurry & Mad Max)

Opportunities & areas with challenges:

- Navigation database mismatches really becoming a glaring deficiency with the approach @Tesla_AI is using, not just because of recent or ongoing construction, but also with established routes, roads & destinations

- FSD 14.2 stopped unexpectedly at a gas station that was not part of the route or any destination in the route. After parking, I tapped the Start Self Driving button and the car resumed as if it was starting at an intermediate stopping point & it continued on to the original destination.

- A second strange Navigation challenge happened when arriving at my home. For no apparent reason, it tried to go to my neighbors house … something no previous FSD version has done. Very strange.

- Construction prevented FSD from entering into the selected grocery store entrance, but instead of taking several obvious nearby detour routes or doing a U-turn, it re-mapped the route & drove a few miles past the grocery store & into a residential area, did a turn around & then rerouted all the way back to the grocery store. This was several miles of added driving & passed numerous paths that were much closer & available.

- Parking in angled parking spaces continues to be a big challenge for FSD 14.2 … it took up two parking spaces & at an odd angle when parking at a rural Post Office, disregarding the painted signs & angled marks on the parking spaces & the sign posts for the parking spaces. It also attempted to drive the wrong way in the one-way parking area.

- Speed profiles seem a bit better, but speeding, especially in my neighborhood area is still excessive. For some reason, a posted 25 mph section showed a 65 mph speed sign on the MCU display & FSD tried to drive to that speed. This might be related to navigation databases mismatches issues mentioned earlier.

In summary, I think @Tesla FSD 14.2 shows some promising signs of progress, but still has several areas that need additional work, the biggest of which is the navigation databases mismatch issues.

I’d like to see some way for owners to provide inputs to the FSD team to provide navigation map updates that can help fix these issues. Also, having a way to “train” FSD in specific areas, say at your home so it knows how to properly enter the driveway, back into the garage, select which side of the garage, etc… would be very helpful.
