With the latest version comes a long-awaited name change. Clearly, a lot of non-technical users do not understand what Beta means. Beta software can make serious errors and FSD is no different. The driver must be attentive and ready to take over at a moment’s notice. Every Tesla crash while Autopilot or FSD has been active can be attributed to the driver not paying attention.
As the software gets better, drivers may get more complacent. This video is typical; the car drives without any intervention other than the driver touching the wheel from time to time. I wish all beta testers would keep their hands on the wheel at all times, even though the software is much more attentive than the average driver. One Billion miles have been driven on FSD without a single death. The number of miles driven is rising exponentially now that version 12.3.3 is available as a free trial to all Tesla owners with a compatible vehicle.
Most Wall Street analysts do not include revenue for FSD in their financial models, so their price targets are much more bearish than those like ARK Invest, who do. Will today be another green day, or will Elon’s Starlink battle with Brazil make the price drop again?
There is never a dull moment for $TSLA investors.,
(Supervised) FSD v.12.3.4A day later and another update going out as a free one month trial and to legacy Tesla Model S/X owners.
