I watched so many FSD videos but this lady's commentary is just great, like you have done it thousands of times, thanks.

Completed almost 10 days now of 30-45 minute commutes in Montreal. It works so well here for some reason. Still can't believe it's real.

I just can’t believe this technology exists today. Sue is a fantastic reviewer. Speaks clearly, is concise, and has a pleasant voice as a bonus!

Tesla states on their website, "Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous." That's why Sue's hands are on the steering wheel, so she can safely intervene if needed.

Sue - just an FYI ... when it gets into a parking lot, you have to take it out of FSD in order for it to then recognize parking spaces (and you need to be going 8 mph or slower, too).

We like the videos of honest and caring people like Sue and Sandy. We also love Sandy because he is so knowledgeable about technology, and Sue because she is a down-to-earth woman with no pretensions. Sue and Sandy will be great no matter what they do. I hope they have children like themselves.

Good job Tesla, good job Sue. We don't get to see enough of Sue.

My experience with 30 day free FSD trial has been much better than expected.

Full Self Park is one of the best parts of driving my Tesla. I put my hands up, especially if there’s someone around.

Police behind: 🤨 FSD: *sweating*

Sue is so awesome! I would love to see more segments like this one. She starts off by referring to her Tesla as a “her/she” but quickly switches to “it”. Maybe after someone honked at her 😂

I just finished my promo month. I was flabbergasted. It tackled streets, highways, construction zones and detours. FSD is here. And it is a better driver than me.

Thank you for your honest and straightforward review. Tesla's autonomous driving is truly amazing.

Beautifully done

One of the things FSD really needs to learn is pothole avoidance.

Thrilled to have Sue on this FSD Supervised drive! Thanks so much. It's great seeing engineers driving Tesla's FSD (beta/supervised). The next 2 versions are expected to be major leaps forward as well. Hope you can review them too... with less embarrassing moments. But, being slow and cautious is far better than fast and reckless! Lotsa love to all ❤❤❤ PS I'd have bailed out from the construction trucks too.

I've been using FSD 12.3.6 on every drive and I rarely have to intervene. That said there are occasional unexpected actions. I find shadows from trees in city driving sometimes make it think there's a speed bump so it can slow down for no reason. Also map guidance isn't always in sync with chosen route. In very complicated highway exchanges I have to watch that it gets into the correct lane. 95% of the time it's fine. We're 5 drivers and even my wife uses it on every highway drive.

It's important to note that the highway driving is still done by an old version of autopilot from before the beta release. Elon has tweeted that 12.4 will use one single code stack for all driving including highway. So expect highway driving to improve with the next release.

Coming up to 5 years waiting for FSD in Australian Fully paid...kinda glad you guys have been the GuineaPigs, but we are keen now ! Sue is the star of Monroe!

I bet you notice quickly in an autonomous vehicle how awful road markings are.

Thanks for doing this video. It would be clearer that FSD is doing the steering if you could avoid gripping the steering wheel and let the wheel slip through your hands. Maybe even drive with one hand lower on the wheel and just pinch the wheel with your thumb and forefinger and let the wheel slip through. Give it a little tug every so often and let us know that's what you just did, or just drag on the wheel when it turns (but don't move your hand). Not a big deal, but it's not obvious that FSD is doing the steering when both your hands are on the wheel and your hands turn with the wheel. BTW- I've found that with 12.3.6, on some roads, as long as I keep looking at the road, even with sunglasses, I can drive a long time without being nagged. I recently drove about 5 miles on a twisty mountain road without ever touching the wheel!

I took My Model Y with the trial FSD v 12.3.6 on a 90 minute drive each way from the country through the city and into the suburbs. The FDS was near flawless. Acceleration and lane changing was great. It even turned right on red when the cross traffic had a protected left turn. I was amazed as in navigated a toll booth. Although it was a little timid exiting the toll booth. I assume it was because there were no lane lines. I did have to intervine a few times on exit ramps.

V.12 is a game changer.

I don't know if anyone reads these comments other than other commenters, but my experience with FSD has not been great. I had 3 months of FSD when I first purchased my 23 MY, and another month free starting today. Today, on my journey from SeaTac airport to Everett, there were several instances that required my intervention. The first was on northbound interstate 5 where it curves near where Tukwila ends and Boeing Field starts. It was heavy traffic but moving at full speed. There was a part where the lines on the road sort of faded like they may have been doing some work. My car braked hard and pulled hard to the right for no apparent reason other than the faded lines. I had traffic on my tail and I immediately cranked the wheel hard to disable FSD. Had I not done that I do think I would have been rear ended (hint - never tailgate a Tesla!) Second issue was coming off freeway and making stop at red light at end of offramp. Here it stopped well behind the line then creeped up very slowly. I had to take over after getting honked at for not turning right on the red (legal). And the third time I had to disable FSD was with a bicyclist in the bike lane. It got way too close to them even though it showed them in the visualization. The bicyclist rightfully gave me the finger for going by so close so fast (around 45mph). So yeah, I think we are still quite far off from getting something that is actually usable. I figure one of the main goals of FSD is to make driving safer and less stressful but my experience is the complete opposite. I see plenty of people like Sue here saying their drive was good. But even on her drive there was one instance where it could not navigate a curve correctly and ended up veering off to the right when it needed to go left resulting in an awkward correction that could have caused an accident had there been a car close and wanting to pass. I also feel like the steering is very jerky especially on turns. And sometimes the acceleration and braking are not comfortable - like a brand new teenage driver is driving. I feel like FSD would work if every car on the road had it because at least it would create appropriate following distances. But as it is, people usually follow way too closely and because of the unpredictability of FSD, it is currently causing more problems than it solves in my opinion. I think we are a ways off before the majority of people would feel comfortable putting their lives in the hands of this developing system. And I am sorry for the folks who have paid so much for this only to be unfairly misled.

Sue videos are always great, I think one of the intersections they went may be a Double Crossover Diamond Interchange or Diverging Diamond Interchange which is "relatively" new, we have had a few in Arizona since 2020. I have watched numerous FSD drive along videos and Sue's narration was very instructive.

Thank you for taking the time to review FSD v12.3.6. Voices like yours are especially valuable in getting the word out on FSD! Had a similar marvelous experience using FSD v12.3.6 to drive my family around the state of Washington this past weekend. Can barely wait for FSD v12.4 which is expected via a free over-the-air update soon.

excellent video and matches my 12.3.6 experience. I've driven hundreds of miles under it and rarely intervene (and when I do, it usually because it's in a turn only lane and doesn't realize it yet). I have noticed that when you reach your destination FSD and the navigation doesn't automatically end. That's why it's not offering parking suggestions until Sue intervenes. Looking forward to 12.4!

I did the recent 30-day fsd trial, and, for the most part, I was very impressed; however, since I don’t live in a major metro area where you may need aggressive acceleration for merging in traffic, I would have preferred an option to slow down sooner at an intersection as well as not rocketing to speed with little or no traffic. If I need to slow or accelerate quickly, I’d like the option to use the brake or accelerator as needed. That said, there were so many amazing things that it did, I can now understand Tesla’s vision based system may be the best to really achieve autonomous driving in the future. Thanks for this video. It was great to hear Sue’s take on fsd.

Really great video, Sue seems unbiased in her review of FSD and I think she was spot on. I've had it for a while now, its weird to drive a car after a while.

I wish we'd get FSD here in Europe also.

i enjoyed her commentary. it exposes her personal expectations from that of the FSD.

I actually have to intervene a few times each drive, mostly due to rude/impatient/bad drivers & unclear/lack of road markings that confuse FSD when there are no other cars to follow. Oh, it also doesn't see the black gate into my community at night, but sees it fine during day. I need to get my Tesla some night driving glasses.

I live in a city with a lot of roundabouts, and I hate that our Tesla's FSD doesn't signal its left turns and exits from the roundabouts as it should. Most people don't either, but the car should be better than that.

Most people think that you need to periodically put pressure on, or jiggle, the wheel while you’re in FSD or auto pilot. However, another option is to move the right scroll (speed control) wheel up or down a notch. This has little noticeable effect on the driving, but resets the attention timer. I prefer this approach because the car won’t think that you are trying to take over like it does if you push too hard on the wheel.

Thanks, Sue, for providing a no-hype review by someone who has read the user manual and is not a super-fan or hyper-critic looking for clicks. My experience since 2019 has been that it was always more relaxing to let the car help drive on long freeway trips, and each update reduced the number of hyper-safe glitches - such as abruptly slowing down once in a while. I live in a major city with both aggressive and timid drivers, so it was less stressful not to use FSD locally until Version 12. That transition provided much more human-like driving, including recognizing and slowing down appropriately for speed bumps, smoother roundabouts, and the bias away from large trucks and any vehicle riding the lane line or bouncing from one line to the other. Not perfect in all weird circumstances, so I too supervise vigilantly.

And MSM dared to say Tesla was dead last in the autonomy technology 🤣 Literally no other company's car can do this without pre-mapped HD maps and even then, they have actual people remotely driving your car 🤣

nice to hear the feed back from a slightly older person such as myself and a females opinion. I live in Canada and have the same types of drives. its isn't always perfect as far as smoothness and comfortability. I haven't had a " safety" critical disengagement in sometime. We know it's only going to keep getting better.. thanks to the Munro Team for all you do and to Tesla for outstanding products. The old days and maybe even still take your BMW in for Map upgrade see what it cost? Tesla gives so much value to you after you bought your car. People often ask me how do you like your Tesla and I always reply the car I have today is better then the car I bought in 2021 and its the same car.

And doing all that with no radar, no lidar, no USS, no HD maps. amazing.

God job Sue! Thank you for the drive 😊

Try that in San Benito County, in Hollister - the 'Turbo roundabout' there, many potholes around town, and generally poor asphalt causes FSD and Autopilot to give up or make mistakes on every drive. Tesla should use our town as a test subject.

Great video, and nice work by the driver! Impressive all round!

Wow. That's massive!!

Thank you!

Well done, I also like how the car navigates to the left line when passing large Semi 's giving an extra measure of safety. We also had no problems with Roundabouts recently on our 2800 mile trip on 12.3.6. I noticed you had the car in "Assertive" rather than "Chill" which was notable.

Wow! Way to go Tesla! Continue leading the way towards making FSD a reality. I have always been a fan of Tesla...now I have become a fan of Sue as well. You're such a perfect ambassador for Tesla FSD. Hope to see you more in MunroLive.

Thr first American I recall using the correct term "Indicators" Well done Sue!

0:50 Sounds like Quincy from Aptera reading that Surfshark ad.

Just wondering if this is a big benefit for older and less confident drivers? When you get older your reflexes and vision (especially at night) degrade. New drivers, even if they pass their initial driving test, can be uncertain due to lack of experience. Or, could FSD just create a dependency and false security on the software?

Great video Dr Sue!! A very real world drive. I’m convinced within a decade we’ll be using this every day.

Mentally alert gal. Way better than I am at age 79. She sure handled that computer screen better than I would have, but would love to give it a try. Nicely done.

As someone who lives in Boston I'd be interested to see how it handles hardmode. This worked well but this drive looked pretty idyllic and uncomplicated.

Great video Sue!

Great video! This will raise the awareness about how good FSD has become.

Flashing yellow light on intersections late at night causes my MS to slow down to 15 mph and almost come to complete stop. Could easily get rear ended. When getting off on highway off-ramps, FSD slows down way too late and has caught me grabbing the wheel with my car going 70 mph into a hairpin turn getting off the highway on the exit. Other than those two issues, FSD has been pretty good.

That's amazing

Awesome! I use my FSD all the time in Colorado including back roads of the Rockies Mountains Nederland and Boulder.FSD is really Good and better by the versions.

Interesting to see how it handles roundabouts, given how infrequent they are in North America (starting to see more in the Toronto burbs). They also vary a lot in design.

They should use these cars to teach drivers HOW to drive. I despise lazy drivers who don’t follow the rules of the road and turn into wrong lanes all the time. And ones who just don’t signal. Adding to traffic delays in both causing others to wait, when they shouldn’t have to.. and adding accidents to the roads.

I can see the next FUD complaint being "When auto parking it spins the wheel at a standstill which wears out the tyres"

The auto park was great I miss having that the most. The only other issue I had was it mis-detecting route 15 or 20 as speed limit signs.

If the roads in the US were all well marked FSD would really have no problem. If towns, states and feds would implement a law on road markings FSD could be tomorrow

Nice job Sue Okray!👍 Everything I saw you were clear precise with everything you talked about you neither bashed when it made a mistake or didn’t do something quick enough or hyped it up either you remain calm in all the situations and never embellished anything, but informed us of what was going on what you wanted to do and what you expected from the drive thank you for sharing to me. This shows me why your president of Monroe & associates though I’ve never been quite as high-level as you. It’s everything I would want to see from just moments of meeting you through this video says this is why you’re in charge as president of the company. If you have that same mentality as he showed in this video I’m sure the customers love you on the high end as well as employees. Thank you again hope to see you in another video down the roadwith more FSD talk and demonstration.

@ 6:20 you should have remarked that right turn on red is NOT a requirement. I would call that a disagreement, but not a fault. The car will likely NEVER drive like individual people do.

Funny watching this because I live close to these roads and drive them frequently.

Thanks, useful content, really interested in same-person review of several updates. All the best

Good video! Tesla says the next version of FSD will be pushed out soon. They say this new version will have 5X-10X fewer interventions.

More of Sue!!

Your drive is similar to my experience. FSD 13.6 has some issues but the biggest issue is the maps not the technolgy, i.e. it does not always know here it has to go. The other days I drove ove 60 miles on a poor quality seconday road with lots going on. The mapping parts was simple and I didn't need to intervene once. This app rocks but will need work to be used without a driver.

Just drove by your Cybertruck, mustache looks great but the Cybertruck really cramps your style. Good day.

Liked this Tesla FSD video. So much better than those made in California! 😉 Well done.

OMG! Finally someone does the FSD video we always wanted. Thank-you so much. Clear and concise . Tesla is really homing in on FSD

The return of Sue! A welcome return.

Excellent video. Thanks

Obsoleted version of FSD before this was even posted. Awaiting 12.4, the most recent revision review.

You can adjust profile by chill, average, assertive. Assertive is more aggressive especially on the freeway. There is also a version that always going more with flow of traffic vs just limited speeds.

FSD on my Model Y is a terror. It stops by itself, can’t handle winding roads with cars parked to the sides (it thinks that they are a hazard, even though they’re parked to the side of the road. It also takes me on side street to my home, which is slower and more dangerous than the primary road. And, on a round about, it swings to the right, confusing other drivers. It is not ready for prime time.

It’s a game changer especially if new to a city. Just state or punch in an address. This is level 3. Rare intervention needed BUT JUST like any autopilot do not become complacent. One reason still 2 pilots on airlines with autopilot. I am a pilot and have owned FSD from 2017. 4/2024 update was revolutionary. Tesla in the lead. I hope Starlink ends up in cars as it is revolutionary. No more lost hikers or planes, MH370.

Couple round-abouts to test v12.3.6? Nothing exciting there, the FSD is flawless in every round-about scenario I've thrown at it. But FSD 12.3.6 is far from flawless in my region of northern New England with endless paved and dirt roads containing blind corners, hill round-overs, short horizon lines, close roadside trees/brush/boulders, and endless dirt mountain roads with endless edge cases. Yeah, FSD still requires many interventions in a 10 mile trip to stay away from the soft, gravelly shoulders of dirt roads, and maintain a course of travel more towards center of dirt road, rather than edge of dirt road near shoulder. Much safer in center, move aside when encountering (rare) opposing traffic, then move back to center of road.

Good vid

"Driving full self driving" 😂🚘

After driving in the states through many 4 way stops, roundabouts are the easiest thing in the world. Here in Australia, there are roundabouts everywhere. Far less chance for accidents.

There seems to be something about the roads around me, in particular the way that lane markings are done, where it struggles with choosing the correct lane, and it doesn't handle right turn acceleration lanes merging with through traffic. I also have regular issues with it it not responding to speed change sighs. Waiting for 12.4.0............

I live about 5 miles down Opdyke Rd from your office, so the roads and interchanges are all very familiar to me. I grew up in a Boston suburb. While your demo drive did involve some challenging geometry such as the University Drive crossover and a few roundabouts, I'd like to see how it would handle rush hour traffic and/or New England's tighter, less well marked roads. What would have happened if there had been a 2 mile backup approaching your interstate exit?

I have to intervene when using FSD 100% of the time, but only because it does not park in my driveway, 1st world problem 🤣

I enjoyed this video.

Pretty good!

I cannot wait for FSD to be released in Australia.

I like how all the streets have what looks like newly painted street lines whereas my area does not.

Love it! I use fsd every single time! Could not go back at driving…

3:40 Nice video. "Assertive" is a better term to use than "aggressive" which implies some negativity. The car has no emotions (presumably).

What year is the car ? Does it have Intel or AMD media processor?

Place Sue on the payroll... she is very Delightful & excellent at commentary.

Good job kid

Curbed my wheels on the first trial drive... beware it stays a little too far right in the lane and cuts the right hand turns a bit too close for comfort. It always keeps you on the nervous edge of taking over which is a bit of a nervous way to drive compared to just driving yourself. The issue is you never quite know when to intervene until it's too late. It also needs to learn to park front in instead of always backing in. Anyway it is nice to see this new content side of Munro Live.

Great video! We want Sue in more videos! 👏👏👏👏

I'm curious, while in FSD when you intervene and manually do lane change signal blinker will the car still complete the lane change if there's another car that the driver didn't see in that lane you are turning into ?

At 9:09, FSD changes its mind because of traffic, and then there is an edit. No explaination what went on there.

Thanks Sue - Well done. I have one comment/question... Minimal Lane Change on the most recent FSD update is much less "minimal" than prior FSD versions. What is your experience with Minimal Lane change? Plus I wish TESLA would allow selecting Minimal Lane Changes as default versus being able to select it only on the current drive.

👍
