One autonomous vehicle blocked a fire truck. Another recognized the emergency vehicle from a distance and yielded before it became a problem. The gap between “can drive” and “understands what’s happening around it” is bigger than most people realize.🚒👀 @Tesla_AI

@SquireBailey That’s an excellent idea. Perhaps that’s why they have already started with its integration on current models.

@SpicyTech_ca It needs grok integration in the same way you can talk to an uber driver. The start and stop isn’t there

On June 14, there were roughly 85 Cybercabs at Giga Texas. June 15: Roughly 102. June 17: Roughly 120. At this rate, what do you think is the mean reason for deployment delay: V15, regulation, operational readiness, or something else? 🤔

@starchy73 I’m hoping it’s spectacular when it happens 👀

@SpicyTech_ca Just gotta wait a little bit longer.

@AOACwithCD @Tesla Fair catch 😅. It was actually a Premium/LR in the photo, but the point still stands… I’m seeing a lot more Model Ys on the road here in Canada and it’s amazing how accessible the platform has become!

@SpicyTech_ca @Tesla Not a standard in the pic though

Every time I see a new Model Y Standard Range on the road, it reminds me how far @Tesla has come. Not long ago, this technology felt out of reach for most people. Now you can get a beautiful vehicle with top-tier safety, FSD access, and cutting-edge tech at a price point far more people can afford. Watching the future become accessible is pretty incredible. 🙏🏽

I was convinced FSD 14.3.4 had made a mistake here. Then I spotted what it saw! Watch the pedestrian emerge from between the parked cars. Is this an overreaction or exactly the kind of caution you’d want? @Tesla_AI

Waymo遇到了正在执行任务的消防车，没有退让哪怕一厘米，消防车在往后退的时候Waymo继续顶上去，最终消防车让行离开。你想象过如果这是一辆民用车辆的结局吗？

I’ve had a similar experience. A fire truck was exiting its station on the opposite side of a divided road with no lights on, and FSD still wanted to yield. It definitely seems biased toward caution whenever it detects an emergency vehicle. Link to example: x.com/spicytech_ca/s…

@SpicyTech_ca @Tesla_AI One issue I noticed: My Tesla was going down a divided highway with a barrier. A fire truck with lights blazing was driving in the opposite direction, but the Tesla still wanted to pull over. This forced me to take over because the cars behind me weren’t prepared to stop.

@coldenvy Oh, yes. For sure it’s possible.

@SpicyTech_ca Nice I can imagine... Km hoping to change springs on the old y to something new I heard they can do that

As someone who started testing FSD on a 2022 Model 3, I’ve watched this technology evolve from something impressive to something that genuinely feels like a glimpse of the future. I’ve shared videos of both the wins and the shortcomings, avoiding hidden pedestrians, navigating closed entrances in bad weather, but also struggling with lane-ending merges, road-surface awareness, and contextual edge cases. For HW3 owners - fingers crossed - about to receive FSD V14 Lite, I’m genuinely excited for you. It’s not perfect, but if your last experience was from years ago, I think you’re in for a breath of fresh air. You’ll still find things to critique. We all do.But there will also be moments where you catch yourself smiling and thinking: “Wow… the car actually saw that!??” Until a true hardware upgrade exists, I hope you enjoy that feeling as much as many of us have. ❤️❤️

@jeremyjudkins_ Looks very moist.

Thoughts on this wrap?

@coldenvy Nice man. I’d love to have 2 as well. I remember test driving pre-juniper model and it was rough indeed 😅 but it was still softer than my 22 model 3. Moving from the model 3 to premium juniper was a night and day difference. My spine now thanks me for upgrading.

@SpicyTech_ca yea we got a 2021 model y lr and when hw4 stated getting FSD for hw4 I jumped on the old model y 2024 offers they had running and FSD transfer. Ended up keeping the old y too so now we have 2 great cars but rough on the rides 😜

For context, the yielding behavior shown here was on FSD 14.3.4.

@TexasTSLA Tesla has been trying to crack destination parking for quite some time. My HW3 car would attempt it occasionally, but consistency was definitely the challenge. Hoping v14 Lite is a big step forward for HW3 owners. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

New HW3 software update wants to park soooooo bad 😭😭 FSD 14 Lite is almost here tho 🥳

@coldenvy It’s a stress relief here. I press a button and just look around to confirm all is good. My 2022 was a model 3 with HW3;it’s in my profile pic. I’ve since upgraded to a 2026 HW4 Model Y.

@SpicyTech_ca I just can't imagine how much it saves me in terms of time and work (driving manually thinking about turns etc.) ppl don't realize how much it helps until they lose it. Is your 2022 a hw4?

@jonclegg77 @Tesla_AI At least that pedestrian hesitated first. 😅 The one in my clip just walked straight into the roadway from between parked cars. Thankfully traffic was moving slowly, but it happened super fast.

@SpicyTech_ca @Tesla_AI Same

@bxlewi1 That’s what I keep coming back to. It’s easy for me constantly assess the remaining edge cases, but when you zoom out and compare where FSD was a few years ago to where it is today, the progress is undeniable.

@SpicyTech_ca 10.2 couldn't reliably get out of my subdivision. We've gone from that to me doing less than 100 miles manually in 10k.

@DirtyTesLa @wholemars Thanks for continuing to document these issues. I think there’s real value in honest feedback, especially when it goes against the 0 disengage streak mentality. The goal shouldn’t be protecting a scorecard,it should be making FSD safer, smoother, and more useful for everyone.🙏🏽

@wholemars Again, it was a tight parking lot and I'm not going to wait the 30s-1min for it to slowly park itself and then finally put itself into park. And then hope no one gets in my way because there was NO room. I'd rather just crank the wheel, take the next spot, and go about my day.

@DirtyTesLa silly reason to takeover. give it a chance to park and then fix it if needed
