An OG of Kiwi podcasting & Tesla Model 3 owner. Podcasts in FSD? Hmmm…

Current version: v14.3.12 Down Under

@mikeHudsonisonX @mikeHudsonisonX would you be open to a short space recording on X with me to chat about the story of your buying your first Tesla? I think they’re great stories. Thoughts?

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

Last year I fulfilled a five-year dream - saving up and buying a new Tesla.

I said to the Tesla guys I was coming in, buying one and taking it, and I wasn't test driving. They looked at me like I was nuts.

I knew I'd like driving it because I'd been watching video after video.

Now I'm driving FSD here in New Zealand, and for the most part I'm really enjoying it.

@HarleyNeville Let’s go for a spin! See if we can find another ISAZH dvd like back in day. Where would we even get a dvd in 2026?

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@RobGrieves Shit, the mission of trying to get another driver to be in the same car as me using FSD. Will have to build a Grok Bot agent to help schedule that. Hmmmm.

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@RobGrieves OG! Great story mate - might have to get a few Aus/NZ Tesla owner together to podcast their “first time” with me 😂

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@RobGrieves 100% ain’t no overtaking for me in FSD based on what I’ve seen. Cheers for the share.

FSD v14.3.12 (down under) has arrived in New Zealand.

We've jumped straight from 14.3.5 to 14.3.12 here in New Zealand, so I took it for a spin on my way to a meeting.

To be honest, I'm not sure FSD was created for rural roads but it did well. Felt smoother that was until it wanted to drive straight through a roundabout without stopping lol.

Better at reading speed signs (kind of), Mad Max tested on rural roads (weird), and it parked itself outside the café (after I intervened the first time).

Quite impressed (overall).

PS. This video was edited by Claude. Bloody hell, we live inside the machine now...

From crawling, to running, to sprinting... to some version of a flying car (metaphorically).

First go, FSD v14.3.12 Down Under tried a spot that was not a park. I took over.

Second go, it reversed straight in.

Quite impressed, actually.

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@RobGrieves Maybe we'll never know, but how the heck would it have got out of that situation of passing while being casual with speed? When you pumped the accelerator, it's not like you had heaps of extra room, and you got it up to about 120-130 km/h from memory. Were you able to report it?

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@tatsie1973 100% mate. Spot on.

@pnosorio Keen to know how you go. Testing it out today. It was great. Few bumps. Video coming soon.

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

FSD v14.3.12 DU rolling in hot to New Zealand.

Looking forward to getting my max and mad on 😂

Honestly, feels like a grown up version of Christmas as a kid - but I pay for my own gift.

Good shit Tesla.

[Will Fleming @willfleming]

@mikeHudsonisonX Coooool!

@DevinOlsenn Number 1 reason here in New Zealand for me to break a streak is misreading speed signs but we are on v14.3.5 DU with a pending .9 on the way. Seems obvious to able to have some manual control of speed. Thanks for sharing this post.
