Gotta report warts when I see ‘em. FSD 14.3.3 had a freakout at the tollbooth. As you can see, it couldn’t decide where to go. I’ve gone through many times without issue. Any thoughts as to what might cause this kind of behavior? Tesla AI Also thanks CamCutApp!

Tesla FSD saves a school bus full of children! My Model Y Performance braked so hard that everything on my seats ended up on the floor. It infuriates me that school bus drivers are allowed to be this bad at driving. In an autonomous future, more lives will be saved like this.

Cruising into an exit on FSD when I felt my car slow down. A lot. Then I saw why. Once again, my Tesla makes nice with human drivers who don’t believe in using blinkers.

Today Tesla Optimus made an appearance on Capitol Hill! No, Optimus wasn’t up here testifying on how he’s going to change the world. He was here as part of the Robot Symposium, and stood (and danced) for lawmakers to get to know him. Everyone was very friendly to him AND Tesla.

Awesome moment of FSD sentience today with an immediate reaction to a change in situation and then following a human cue (flashing brights) to immediately proceed. 🤯

When the windows go up on a hot and humid DC day, it’s time for Tidal HiFi in my Tesla! Of the streaming services, only Tidal HiFi takes full advantage of Tesla’s incredible sound system, utilizing all 17 studio quality speakers independently. Those who truly rock, rock a Tesla.

OK, weird behavior on 14.3.3. My car, which had been able to park in my garage on 14.3.2, has not only lost the ability, it now puts itself into a humorous endless loop of pulling up to the garage, assessing, backing out, going around my cul-de-sac, and trying again, and again…

Welp. FSD (14.3.3) got itself into a weird situation and scratched my car. 😞 It was a bonkers move, but hey, that’s why we’re supervisors. And remember, I chose to let it proceed. All part of learning. Listen for my commentary.

OCD about cleaning your Tesla display and get upset that you have to touch the “exit” button, leaving a fresh fingerprint on your clean glass? It doesn’t have to be that way.

Recorded my Mom’s first experience behind the wheel using Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD). Her line when we got home, “DJ, that was honestly a life changing experience. It’s like the future is suddenly here. That was soooo cool!” See for yourself… 😂 Tesla AI Tesla

I have been traveling nearly nonstop for over 2 months. Tonight was my last flight for the next 7 weeks. I’m beyond exhausted and miss my family. My flight landed just before midnight and I have a 38 mile drive home. Thank you Tesla AI for FSD. Because of your amazing technology, I know I will make it home to my family safe. It’s got me covered on all angles. I don’t have to worry about an attention lapse that could cost me my life. Stepping off the safest form of travel and into my Tesla is a reminder that soon, driving won’t be the dangerous endeavor it is today. And owning a car with FSD and using it correctly puts me ahead of the game. Seeing my family at the end of a long trip is worth it.

Tesla drivers help each other out. This Cybertruck was the victim of road rage at a lane merge. I saw it taking place behind me so I did what any friend would do. Let him go ahead. When you’re in the family, you’re in the family.

Confirmed 2026.2.9.9 glitch. You can’t exit Grok once activated. No music. Only Grok. Parking and exiting the vehicle didn’t fix it. Only thing that worked was double-scroll wheel reset. Teslascope Tesla AI Yun-Ta Tsai

Major 14.3.1 update. Actually Smart Summon (ASS) now seeks to work on city streets! Watch as ASS pulls out of my driveway and takes me to the street around the corner. 🤯 This is not FSD… or, is it?! I’m headed out for more testing!!! Arek Sredzki you da MAN!!

A major FSD 14.3.2 annoyance. The inability for me override turns with a manual turn signal. If this were a Robotaxi, I’d have added a minute to the route. Road closed ahead, can’t alter route, so we take the big go-around option. Note: manual signaling works on the freeway.

At 9am today, this couple systematically walked around my car, attempted entry, and forcibly tried to remove the charger (which has a ring lock, thankfully) at Reagan Airport. They can be seen touching the car, filming it, and looking underneath. It has been parked for 30 hours.

Just visited the Department of Transportation in DC to see their AV (autonomous vehicle) displays. No rides, just lots of touching! See my attached video (and livestreams) for details. Lots of interest in the Tesla Cybercab, though. Surprisingly, it’s GORGEOUS in the sunlight. 🤩

My Waymo failed on the way to the hotel. The first tier help desk had to escalate to someone who had physical control, which was used to move the Waymo. My fare was also refunded. Contrast this with Tesla using AI in similar situations to eventually go around without prompting.

Dr Manhattva Man, all I can think about is that I would do as Emperor Cleon does, in this, one of the most powerful retribution speeches I’ve ever heard, if that were my daughter.
