FSD V13.2.8 ➡️ V13.2.9 First drive - 20mi, 1 hour behind wheel. At this point, what can I say? I have been running these same routes since late V11 at end of 2023. I can’t believe what it was like then, and what it is like today. There is no greater way to measure Tesla than to sit in these cars watching this thing grow up. It’s incredible, and I’m so glad I got to watch it happen. My drive began with a single button tap on a touch screen. After that, I sat back with a smile on my face as I was driven home with smoothness and perfection greater than I’d ever be able to achieve myself. There is no turning force, no deceleration or acceleration force. Just floating home. Magic. I don’t know how they’ve done this. I don’t know how they’ve made it improve this much and so quickly. I’m glad they did. I’ve been driving Teslas for two years, and still every single day, the thought of jumping in for my commute gives me a jolt of excitement. It hasn’t proven to be a novelty or something I’ve taken for granted. The vehicle just continues to get better and give you more to be excited about through time. Truly the best product I’ve ever owned of any kind. FSD is solved. It isn’t perfect everywhere yet, but it can be measured by the best experiences in the most well trained areas. It’s over. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to start finding out

About a year ago, someone rear ended me in my old Model Y. I submitted a claim with their insurance company, and uploaded footage from both the front and rear cameras. Because they clearly saw that their insured driver rear ended me via the trunk camera, and saw from the dash cam that I was correctly stopped for traffic, they claimed liability immediately and processed my claim faster than I’ve ever had any insurance claim processed. When I talked to the agent, he specifically noted my footage as the reason why they’ve immediately claimed liability. It’s not just “dash cam,” it’s 360 cam. The car records every angle using cameras that come stock with the vehicle. You don’t have to buy any accessory or fish a dash cam wire through the car’s trim. You don’t have to add it as an option. This is built into every Tesla by default. Little stuff like this means a lot.

I love how Tesla just casually dropped auto shift, one of the coolest features ever invented for an automobile, and nobody really talks about it because we’re all so fixated on the even cooler part where a fucking software stack drives the car with some cameras

Walk up to the car, open the door. No looking for keys, pressing any key fob buttons, nothing. The car senses your presence. Sit down, car already on and ready. Buckle your seatbelt, start your song, press the blue button. Sit back and relax. That’s it. https://t.co/hbkNKxeobJ
