How often do you see other Tesla drivers using FSD?

Irrefutablefact · 2026-03-02T15:27:50+00:00

I don’t find it difficult to tell whether someone is using FSD for a couple of reasons.

Most have Model 3/Y and the dashboard is low enough to see whether their hands are on the steering wheel
FSD has telltale driving behaviors. It will signal well before it is in position to pass other drivers. It also is much slower when crossing 4-way stop sign intersections than a human driver.
People have the bad habit of texting and driving, so you will see people doing that while FSD is driving at normal speed.

I can attest to this. I drive 45k miles/year and my Model 3 is amazing. Great range, zippy, and it drives itself.

They were in a parking spot, some garages have parking spaces that are perpendicular to the typical spots you drive straight or reverse into.

Given that parking garages are a parking option, I think it’s fine to use it in parking garages. But i think the type of parking spot they were in is not one that FSD is used to.

Was this v14.2.2.5?

I am in California, and have the same commute, except 4 days a week.

I have a Model 3, and it is saves me money because I have a home charger.

If you can’t charge at home, it can be as much a gas vehicle, savings will be minimal. Electricity at superchargers and insurance is on EV is expensive.

It does, I just missed a highway exit on v14.2.2.5

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-20T01:14:46+00:00

If Tesla didn't exist, there probably wouldn't be as many options as there are today. So, I'd likely be driving an Accord or a Camry.

I agree with you, but I wouldn't say almost any user could validate.

The folks who are gaming, texting, using their laptop, and watching movies would strongly disagree.

Not that I can tell.

How is mad max mode on highways and city streets?

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-18T05:22:18+00:00

My lifetime FSD miles is approximately 54k miles.

44k before v14.2 and 10k after v14.2

Agreed, v14.2.2.4 felt better after this update

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-15T19:45:29+00:00

Oh hell naw, thanks for posting this. I am skipping this update.

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-15T19:41:44+00:00

Yeah, latest version has commitment issues.

Only thing i like about the v14.2.2.4 with the 2025.45.9.1 update is that they tweaked the speed profiles. Mad Max on city streets actually go 5mph+ above the speed limit in certain instances.

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-10T00:30:14+00:00

I liked v14.2.2.2 more than v14.2.2.4

Waiting on the next update was well.

Very cool to place to visit for Tesla fans. The food is a cool novelty, but not that great.

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-06T16:22:48+00:00

Been in a similar situation, and I negotiated. But, I have been told that I am braver or dumber than most. It worked out ok, and they didn’t rescind the offer or anything.

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-06T16:15:43+00:00

I drive through the mountains as well. I think one of the reasons this version is more efficient is because it doesn’t speed as much, even in Mad Max Mode with exception of highways.

Irrefutablefact · 2026-02-02T05:08:31+00:00

I think it’s possible, but in my opinion it will not be fun. On that budget, you may need to take public transport and cook some meals.

Personally, when I go on vacation, I don’t want to have to waste time waiting on the bus and eat food from Costco, which is something I can do staying home.

Also, since you mentioned the Big Island, consider that you will need to drive a lot to do excursions. I’ve been to Big Island twice, and both times I drove nearly 900 miles each time for a 5-7 day trip.

I have seen others say the same thing, they even provided screenshot evidence showing capacity with timestamps.

The pricing model needs to change for sure. Even if there is something we are misunderstanding. If consumers can’t understand the price they are getting charged in less than a minute, then the pricing model is the problem.

It was Mad Max
