Wow. This is really big news. Anything to deploy faster, more reliable chargers and make them as ubiquitous as legacy gas stations, is a win. electrek.co/2026/08/05/e...

I think this is the first time I’ve seen this. Since there wasn’t a car behind me, #TeslaFSD backs up when the car in front tries to get out of the crosswalk. I do wonder what it would have done if there was a car there … honk the horn?

So you can accelerate to increase your and the system will start to learn your preferences. How do you make it lower?!? Until Tesla agrees to pay for any speeding tickets, I will maintain this is the dumbest decision yet. www.notateslaapp.com/news/4534/te...

Tesla Won't Bring Back FSD Max Speed Option, Speed Selection Improvements Coming - Not a Tesla App

I used to think Elon was on to something. He had smart people that could just figure it out. The problem with all his "visions" is that are so far in the future as make them pointless. Waymo co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov sums the whole argument in a couple of sentences. electrek.co/2026/08/04/w...

Waymo co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov explains why camera-only self-driving, the approach Tesla bets on, flattens out before it reaches full autonomy.

Coming out of this left turn is another example of #TeslaFSD getting into the wrong lane. It then forces that poor Honda to move over to the far right lane, only to move over into the left lane anyway.

Anybody who says EV sales / interest is down, is unfortunately talking strictly about the USA. We are going to learn the same lesson the Japanese taught us in the 80s, only this time it will be the rest of the world. electrek.co/2026/07/28/b...

I would like to understand how #TeslaFSD picks its parking spot. Generally, it needs to be near the door but preferably, with all these spots available, it wouldn’t pick one with a car standing behind us. Fortunately, that driver was paying attention. Now it’s just another driver annoyed by a Tesla.

Things appear to be improving with each new version. Here is some more road construction where #TeslaFSD starts moving over in lockstep with the truck up ahead. The problem is we don’t know why. Is it reading the sign? Does it see construction? Is it coincidentally changing lanes? We’ll never know.

Wow. They guys really don't understand who is buying EVs. electrek.co/2026/07/24/a...

After canceling EVs, Honda laughably tells EV owners to buy a gas guzzler instead

After canceling all its EVs in the US, Honda told its EV owners to "consider a hybrid." But 96% of EV owners won't switch back - ever.

I couldn’t agree more. Why kill a feature that’s useful like this. To me it shows their own engineers don’t use #TeslaFSD often or in a diverse set of circumstances. electrek.co/2026/07/20/t...

Tesla 'Full Self-Driving' got me a speeding ticket, and Tesla killed the fix

I got a speeding ticket using Tesla Full Self-Driving in Standard mode, 78 km/h in a 50 zone. The real problem is a speed control Tesla removed in v14.

Coming up to this light, #TeslaFSD is in the wrong lane. I don’t know if it misread the sign but I wanted to see what the system would do since I was turning left. Eventually I disengaged and got in the correct lane. It continues to feel like it’s 1.5 steps forward and 1.3 steps back.

Another area of construction in North Phoenix. Here #TeslaFSD is turning from one construction lane into another, navigating on the wrong side of the lane, and doglegs through a light into the correct lane. I am sure the cars ahead helped to guide it but it’s still impressive for a computer.

With increased #TeslaFSD subscriptions and no true advancement in the technology, there is will increased crashes. Simple math. electrek.co/2026/07/22/t...

Tesla Autopilot and FSD crashes hit record 207 in a single month

Just a ton of construction in and around the Phoenix area and #TeslaFSD manages it just fine. It makes one little mistake at the end that any driver would, were the exit lane is blocked right before the exit.

Pulling out of the parking lot for Trader Joe’s in Phoenix, there is a lot going on here. There is construction all over the place, people walking besides and in the road, and a lane closure on Shea Blvd. This time, #TeslaFSD was able to make all the right choices.

Look Ma .. no lane lines. Through this section of road, #TeslaFSD does a pretty good job staying within the right areas of the lane and even stops at the light without a “stop line.”

Wow. Anybody spending $300 to $500 on a dash cam HD?

In this obviously sped up video, #TeslaFSD is all over the road. For some reason its latest thing when it gets to this part of the I-10 west of Phoenix, it moves out of the fastest lanes, into the slowest lanes before going back to the fastest lanes.

Without much warning, at 80 mph, #TeslaFSD managed to see the debris in the road and adjust for it without crowding the next lane. It is a little nerve-racking when you’re holding the steering wheel at that speed and it decides to move on its own.

I don’t normally try this because it rarely works. It certainly doesn’t in my building. But it did this time. Leaving the main parking garage in downtown Palm Springs, #TeslaFSD successfully navigates through the crowds and into the street. Fortunately, there was no gate. I still call that luck.

Even in a fairly fast speed zone, #TeslaFSD easily handles this car parked on the side of the road. There is room to move over in the lane and so it does although I would have given it way more latitude in case they opened their door.

I’ve always felt there are some real safety opportunities with automated driving and one of them is to better anticipate the needs of other drivers. Coming up on a cyclist, the driver in the white car is going to have to move over. But #TeslaFSD consistently stays in that driver’s blind spot.

I wasn’t sure what #TeslaFSD would do at the AZ border crossing into CA. But I let the system do its thing and it worked perfectly. I am sort of curious why it didn’t stop though. There was a stop sign (although no line on the pavement) but the guy did wave us through. Is it reading hand gestures?

I’ve never seen resurfacing work like this before or having any road construction take this long. But it does amaze me that #TeslaFSD can successfully navigate with a road surface like this and still find the lane lines.

As near as I can tell, #TeslaFSD mistakes (or is overly cautious?), this lump of cement that’s been there forever, as some obstacle to avoid. What’s worst is, instead of avoiding it, the car runs over it. Had it been something real, there might have been material damage to the object or the car.

I get it. Mistakenly exiting onto the 202 when you wanted I-10, would put you out of your way and would take a lot of time to get back on track. However, watching that Hyundai in front cross three lanes and two exit ramps, makes me think they are the poster child for why we need autonomous driving.

Given a recent post, it appears I am wrong (obviously harsher language was used) thinking that drivers in a merge lane should be a little more accommodating to vehicles entering the highway, at speed. I still don’t think I am wrong to want a little more cooperation and this guy proves me right.

It’s still really hit or miss on which lane #TeslaFSD chooses when making a multi-lane turn. In this case, it used the correct lane, because I’ll be making a left turn down the street. But it should have made a tighter turn into the left lane, just like the white Jeep behind me.

@waymo.bsky.social is really spinning up the testing of their new vehicle today. I saw no less than a half a dozen vehicles in and around the downtown neighborhood on my evening walk. I assumed they were empty, but it was hard to see inside.

Ugh! Drivers in the right lane on a major highway that don’t yield to oncoming traffic totally frustrate me. But #TeslaFSD does handle it by slowing down and moving to the right until they pass. Times like these make me wish for more autonomous vehicles.
