Ricky, an amazing 71-year-old man, bought his first Tesla solely for the Tesla Self-Driving software. Without it, he would have to rely on someone else to drive for him.
The Elon Musk effect on humanity.

@DriveTeslaca @CTVVancouver @elonmusk This is misinformation that will scare people into not using FSD. PLS set the record straight. This cannot spread like a woke cancer. @robotaxi @Tesla

This only gets better. The same RCMP officer that emailed me below saying I was confused about Level 2 vs Level 3 gave an interview on @CTVVancouver proudly proclaiming that FSD is illegal, and that just because you talk to your friends or talk on social media about it and that it is available, doesn’t make it legal (or safe) and that we should “do some research into the law.”
Respectfully sir, you are the one that needs to do the research to ensure you are enforcing the laws appropriately.
Tesla’s FSD is SAE Level 2, which is FULLY LEGAL to use in BC - with due care and attention.

UPDATE: I emailed the RCMP with this information for them to post a correction to their press release, but instead of doing that, they doubled down and said it was correct and that I was confused about driver-assist vs self-driving technology, when in fact its the RCMP that is confused. I stated in my email that Tesla's Autopilot and FSD are Level 2 driver-assist systems and are legal to use in B.C., with due care and attention. What’s illegal are Level 3+ systems that don’t require driver monitoring. There are currently no (zero) consumer vehicles available to purchase today with this technology. I've followed up again stressing this clarification between what is Level 2 and Level 3 and what is currently available on the market, and that a correction to the press release is still required. It’s concerning that the RCMP is presenting this in a way that’s inaccurate or misleading, especially when it relates to how the law is understood by the public and media. I'll paste their full reply in the next post for transparency, and if I get another reply, I'll post a follow up on that too.

I’m a former police officer with 10 years of experience, including enforcing the Highway Traffic Act and laying careless driving and other charges. I’ve also been using FSD (Supervised) since 2018 on my Model 3.
From my perspective, it’s clear when an officer doesn’t have real experience with how Tesla FSD actually operates. The system has improved exponentially over time. It went from requiring frequent steering wheel input every 45–60 seconds, with issues like shadow-induced “ghost braking,” to the current version where you can drive for hours without touching the wheel, as long as you remain attentive and keep your eyes on the road.
I’ve personally experienced situations where my Tesla Cybertruck reacted faster than I could — detecting risks I wouldn’t have seen in time. With 8–9 cameras monitoring the environment, that level of awareness is simply beyond human capability.
That said, it’s not perfect. In about 1–3% of situations, FSD still needs driver input. I drive through serious Canadian winter conditions, and it handles most snow, heavy rain, and challenging weather very well. However, there are still gaps — for example, it doesn’t consistently activate windshield cleaning, and the rear camera lacks a dedicated sprayer to clear snow and dirt. While FSD can currently operate without relying heavily on the rear camera, that will likely be necessary for full autonomy.
These edge cases are rare, but they do exist. Still, in roughly 99% of real-world driving scenarios, FSD is already significantly safer than human drivers. It benefits from redundant safety systems and a continuously improving safety record driven by constant updates from Tesla.
All Tesla vehicles also achieve top-tier crash safety ratings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From an enforcement perspective, many officers already drive Teslas daily. Those with firsthand experience are best positioned to speak accurately about how FSD works and what constitutes proper driver attention when discussing these systems publicly. Maybe we can get @tesla help us with official data to explain what new standards for safety are when it comes to FSD

@TheInevitableAI @DBurkland That stop sign on the side street appears to be in the wrong spot. It should have been placed further back on the boulevard. I would ask the city or town to look at it.
English
Yesss, thought I was the only one. A few days ago on FSD 14.2.2.5 I was driving through a residential neighborhood and it randomly came to a full stop treating it like there was a stop sign, but there wasn’t as you can see in the video . The only thing I could think is there was a stop sign for the cross street and maybe it picked that up, but that doesn’t really make sense. I was also on that street for like 10 minutes and every other street had a stop sign except that one, so maybe It just expected one to be there, but clearly there wasn’t. Either way it was super strange, I haven’t seen FSD do that in a long time. I have noticed a few small regressions lately too.
English
Something changed over the last day or so with FSD v14.2.2.5…
After a few thousand miles without an intervention, I had two last night at stop sign intersections where the car did not want to proceed unless I pressed the accelerator (if I let off too soon it actually tried to decelerate). @TechOperator and @nikkharris have also experienced this behavior in completely different geos which makes me believe Tesla may have modfiied model weights.
Anybody else notice anything out of the blue with FSD the last day or two?

Ok Canada, now that it’s been confirmed that this POS has been to the Island can we demand a full explanation and an independent investigation.

@Terenceshen Can I ask where the GM Envision is made? China maybe.
English
The Canadian Minister of Industry, Mélanie Joly, just said that Chinese EV makers could work with Canadian companies to produce EVs in Canada and then sell them globally. I’m honestly speechless. Why would they produce EVs at a much higher cost? It makes no sense. She cited the Honda Civic made in Ontario as an example, but that comparison is wrong. Most Honda Civics produced in Ontario are sold to the U.S. market. Chinese EVs, however, are obviously not allowed to enter the U.S. If Honda Civics were also barred from the U.S., the Ontario plant would shut down very quickly, because the Canadian market alone is far too small to sustain it. I’m increasingly convinced that many Canadian politicians simply don’t understand basic economics.

No speed control. Doesn't adjust speed properly when limit changes; waits too long to speed up and slow down; should react when sign can first be seen. Stop signs are dangerously slow; everyone gets confused thinking I want them to go first. Turn signals go on too early when passing, while still next to the car being passed; they should go on just before starting the lane change. Turn signals go on too early when signaling a turn. Changes lanes to pass slower cars but doesn't speed up enough to make the change in time. Waits too long to get into the correct lane for turns/onramps/offramps. When turning from one lane into two, goes into one lane then immediately changes lanes instead of just turning into the proper lane during the initial turn. General nav issues, nav issues in parking lots. Why did they release 14.2.2.1/2/3/4 but not really improve much with these quickfire releases? We assume FSD will just keep improving but ...

What is FSD still doing that is annoying you? Or is every drive perfect while you relax in the driver seat "supervising"?

@ChrisRMcGuire Do a google search on GM Envision . Where is it made and where it is sold. Us Canadians are bad for wanting Chinese cars.

Disappointing this article doesn’t mention WHY sales of Chinese EVs are banned in the US: because the Chinese gov can access their data and even commandeer them, turning them into roaming surveillance platforms or even tools of mass disruption.
Cool it has a mini fridge, though.
