probably not. I feel like with the FSD updates that are coming, I won't be making videos that much longer. The purpose of my channel was to record the progress of FSD in my experience in the Phoenix area. I honestly never expected people to watch my videos, but maybe just fast foward through them to maybe see where interventions are. The drives for me are boring as well, and I often use my airpods to listen to things while I am supervising FSD on my drives. I fly for fun and have a private pilots license but I'm also studying to get an instrument rating, so that's another factor. I listen to study materials on my airpods. So for all of those reasons, I feel like I will be recording videos for a few more months, but hopefully FSD will roll out Unsupervised and the updates will get FSD to be exceptional and I won't have a reason to record anymore.

It didn't. at 4:06, you see me override FSD to get into the HOV lane, which is a resticted lane in AZ. The speed limit on this highway is 65 MPH and people go between 75-85MPH or faster. I don't like to go much faster than 80MPH because there are a ton of tiny rocks that will fly up and hit/chip/crack the windshield. I do typically move right if I have faster traffic approach me in the HOV lane, but most of the time they choose to go around before I have an opportunity to move over. But no, FSD didn't move to the far left lane, that was me.

Subbing for 100 a month makes the most sense

@@blessguy5330 Got it, thx

it's actually gotten very good at these unprotected left turns. The cameras can see pretty far in both directions, the inference computer can calculate timing, and sometimes when it is too hesitant, I give it a little tap on the accelerator and let go so that it starts rolling and it will still do the turn by itself (in a place I would have gone but it was being too cautious on its own).

@@Phenix9-TM3 Fascinating! Thanks for sharing the info. Please be safe!

It is pretty impressive because the car is doing it by itself… people often hate things that they secretly want, but can’t afford😬

Next time try it with your car without stepping on the gas pedal.

too busy fixing other things. I think that one of the next 12.x versions combines the highway stack with the rest of FSD, so hopefully when that happens we will start to see improvements.

what mistakes did you see in this video?

5000 feet is almost a mile. way to exaggerate.

he wants to survive

@@jonasdauerbrenner6432😂😂😂.

most of the disengagements were on the freeway. FSD/autopilot won't change lanes over the solid white HOV lane marking, even though that is standard in AZ and you can cross the solid white line in that case. The other times that were non-HOV lane related were due to FSD taking a long time to change lanes. I don't like to have my turn signal on and then have FSD wait an abnormal amount of time to change lanes. Remember, this video is sped up, so the time spent with the turn signal on is not intuitive. In real time, it felt like a long time. It also might have to do with the window of opportunity and the gap in traffic - can't remember. But if it waits too long to change lanes, sometimes the gap closes and it can't change lanes.

indeed.

well I'm pretty sure the highway stack is still FSD v11, so as far as I know, it IS FSD. I know it's not a single stack, but to me that doesn't mean it still doesn't get updates. I could be wrong - idk. But v12.5 in a month or two (Elon time) will combine everything into one FSD stack.

i use mine in Sport mode

why?

Haha

🤣🤣🤣

I think Tesla should have waited until 12.4 to do the 30 day free trial :( V12.5 integrates the highway stack. I've been using FSD since it was first available, and this is at least my 9th version of the software (that's how far back my videos go, but I was using FSD before I started recording videos). It has come a long way and it feels like a human driving most of the time compared to many versions before. It is not perfect yet, but I think we are getting there. Thanks for your feedback. I do have videos going through city streets - it's just that the majority of the time, my commute takes me on the freeways for most of my drives.

I don't think I've really ever had that but there is an area in one place near where I live. It is not a soft shoulder, but there is something that looks like a turn lane and it is XX'd out and you're not supposed to drive in that area, but people get over into that area all the time to turn right. FSD has done it in the past in previous versions - actually it has gotten better about NOT going in that area on recent versions. I've never had it drive on a soft shoulder, but maybe it could be that the road markings are lacking where you are talking about? IDK...

yeah I have a 2018. I added a door seal kit to help with wind noise reduction - it helped by about 8-10db. I haven't tried out the newer models.

I usually do not have time to hand wash it. the car gets just as clean this way and I've never had any issues. I have PPF on the front end and I do not go to the car washes that have brushes. The high water pressure spray gets all of the crap off of the car, so no need to wipe it off and scratch the paint. Sometimes I get water spots after drying, but I go home and clean that up with a little bit of Speed Shine quick detailer and the car looks really good.

No - Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, walk-away door locking, and parking sensor chimes. I make sure the windows are closed before I enter the wash, and I do not need the rest of the features active when going to this car wash.

the car gets clean, yes. I have PPF on the front end and I do not go to the car washes that have brushes.

Blast off car Wash

at 2:13 it was to get into the shorter line so I didn't have to wait for 2-3 other cars in front of me

It is not illegal in AZ to cross the solid white line for the HOV lane because the white line means it is a restricted lane and has no breaks in it for the whole freeway. If you are allowed to drive in the lane, you are allowed to cross the solid white line at any time.

@@Phenix9-TM3 Well you have just not gotten a ticket for it. I have. All 50 states it is illegal.

wrong azdot.gov/mvd/high-occupancy-vehicle-hov "Can I move in and out of an HOV lane? - In Arizona, there are no designated ingress and egress areas for HOV lanes, you can enter or exit safely as needed." It sounds like you have never driven in AZ.

well to be fair, mine has been driving itself for over a year. and it started driving like a 5 year old lol. Now at least it drives like a 20 year old.

I don't know if you're talking about 2:16 or 27:48, but the answer is really the same, which is to get into or out of the HOV lane. FSD rarely will cross the solid white lane line for the HOV lane, which is legal to do in AZ. At the beginning 2:16 and on, I disengaged because I don't like waiting 4 miles to get over to that lane, which FSD will do. I like to just cut right over and get in the lane, so I usually disengage to make that happen quickly.

not really

okay noted, but I scheduled out content for when I was on vacation, and then there were like 2 updates really quickly that I haven't had a chance to record yet. I have 12.3.6 coming soon.

@@Phenix9-TM3 Looking forward to your new videos!

who did and how can you tell?

if you mean the freeway onramp metering light, I have that in about 80% of my morning drives. It is a lot better than it used to be. It knows to stop and wait for the light on the side that I am on.

if you mean at 1:00, then you're wrong because the car had already entered the intersection before the light turned red. In AZ, you're required to finish your turn if you're in the intersection, granted that you are also not supposed to enter the intersection if you can't complete your turn without stopping - so that is a peeve of mine that people (and FSD) do, but it definitely did NOT run a red light.

@@Phenix9-TM3 oh I was not aware of that rule

The best? How? a serious question

Im not sure good question

appears so, even though it's not a speed limit sign
