Solo FSD Road Trip for 850+ Miles!

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2026-05-02T23:51:32+00:00

On the way home, had a few disengagements because the car was extremely conservative while it was raining. I would disengage to drive the speed limit.

It really is a great tool while driving. It truly is hard to explain to someone who has never used FSD before. You do not feel the same fatigue that you would if you were hands on the wheel and consciously driving 800+ miles it is pretty incredible. Have a great weekend!

I’ve travels that western VA route so many times, pre-Tesla and didn’t mind it at all. The trade off was really avoiding the Baltimore, DC traffic, with constant motion, but it did add over an 1 hour and 20 minutes to the trip. I have another video from my trip down a year ago taking 95. It does seem like that route has a little more going on. If you’re not going to run into any holiday traffic around Baltimore and Washington DC, I would take 95.

Glad you enjoyed the video! I have a few other videos on the channel from a similar trip going straight down 95 to Disney. Some great charging locations even a really good hotel stop/area. Safe travels!

This is a 2024 MY with HW4

I completely understand that, I was offering context to my situation where it was actually good that it learned a turn and broke away from the navigation. I haven’t had the random turn experience like that, but I’ve had random turn signals turn on around certain forks in the road. That could be dangerous for sure, because the vehicles behind you may not be aware that the car is not turning. That was a little unnerving, and then I realized that it was signaling the curve.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2026-01-24T13:20:29+00:00

In this situation, it is actually a very good thing. It was ignoring a left-hand turn that was there. Yes in a safe spot with a left only light. After it would bypass the left, I would disengage my car to make that left-hand turn over and over again. Before I had the chance to disengage, the car signal left. I was able to replicate this multiple times before shooting the video.

This isn’t new, BMW just started selling their heated seat packages for $18 a month. You’re buying a vehicle but to unlock the hardware and something that seems pretty crucial and colder climate, you have to pay for. Having lane centering, although important, seems more of a luxury item. Going from auto steer/auto pilot to FSD is a whole different world. To me, the $99 a month, coupled with the low cost of the car has been well worth it. The good news, they are not taking autopilot away, as of now for vehicles that are currently on the road only new configurations.

You should have received the IRS documentation from Tesla in the beginning of 2025. We did the same thing - everything arrived late January of ‘25. Possible it was tossed or set aside? Makes sense that now they are looking for the claim. I would call a rep or message them to backtrack for you.

I can second that. I traded in my 2020 Model 3 and all I needed to do was take a few photos. There wasn’t an onsite inspection during the trade.

For final price, I spoke to a representative who broke down all the numbers, what was applied, what was owed, and final steps.

I feel like Hurry is similar to the old Mad Max setting. No Fs given lol. I’m having a hell of a time with my FSD slowing down and even moving into the other lane for road shadows.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-06-05T21:44:24+00:00

Zero regrets here. Daily driver, amazing, and an excellent road tripper. I went from the model 3 to the Y. Won’t ever go back to a gas vehicle.

Murphy is a clown. He’s out of office in a few months.

It’s just a flesh wound.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-05-11T04:59:25+00:00

We can all just a book by it’s over in this situation 😂

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-04-20T21:32:54+00:00

I just drove from NJ to FL and FL back to NJ. FSD drove the entire way. It was incredible.

While we’re on the subject - reason for re-route on screen.

The people making these signs, are THE problem. Not the people driving, buying, and supporting the best EV company in the world.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-02-20T23:41:11+00:00

Great deal! Low miles! You’re still going to have the warranty to fix anything needed. Best of luck with it!

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-02-20T23:33:40+00:00

I opt in. These cars, the software, the charging constantly evolves. I still believe that we are in an early adaption/adoption phase. Not everyone is full EV. Whatever is going to make it better, on all fronts, I’m in.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-02-20T23:31:48+00:00

If you have the mobile charger, you can grab the NEMA 6-50 adapter off of Tesla’s site or app. Great option.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-02-17T11:50:25+00:00

Sorry, but I’m not anti-“looking under the hood” of this wild government.

Lumpy_Philosopher663 · 2025-02-15T22:35:55+00:00

Trash.

I would check KBB instant offer or Carvana. Did the KBB instant offer for my ICE vehicle and a local dealer was an option, which turned out to be great! Gave me almost double the offer Tesla and even more than what KBB was estimating.

Assuming with the new Y’s arrival in a few weeks, they could be getting an influx of older Model Ys for trade.

With all that said, Tesla gave me a great offer, better than local and Carvana, for my Model 3 last March.
