@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @boringcompany Just need a few billionaires to pitch in a few billion each and get this done!

The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.

Tesla V14.3 self-driving review. The point releases will bring polish.
V15 will far exceed human levels of safety, even in completely unsupervised and complex situations.
Zack@BLKMDL3
600 miles in with FSD v14.3 already and here are my thoughts: The improved reaction time is immediately noticeable and definitely quicker than a human could react. Yesterday a semi truck swerved fast into my lane and the car reacted insanely quickly to get me around them. Tesla says it’s 20% quicker but feels more than that- and it was already extremely good. I’ll start by saying FSD was already so great with v14.2 that it’s sometimes hard to find new things, but there some huge apparent changes immediately noticeable with v14.3. To those who think it’s not a big improvement over v14.2.x+, you’ll be very impressed and especially with some more polish. The reinforcement learning upgrades and thinking are noticeable. Parking is where you immediately notice some changes. In the release notes it says that parking is quicker and more decisive and it’s true. It has picked spots closer and quicker to the selected pin. My Y isn’t showing the new P pin graphic for parking pin for some reason, but it’s definitely parking closer than before with more thought to it. Looking forward to eventually getting more options to hopefully park either closer or further away from people. For the very first v14.3+ build, I have to say it’s pretty polished. The only gripe I have is the way it won’t get out of the left lane soon enough on highways. It likes to cruise in the left lane which isn’t ideal, it’s gotten better but the addition of reduction in unnecessary lane changes needs to be dialed back a bit. Lane changes are a huge plus with this build and they are quick, decisive and executed very well, smooth as butter too. Turn signals come on at way better times now in parking lots and at the perfect time on the road. I was lucky enough to get the update with 600 miles left of my 1800 mile Oregon road trip, so I pulled over to install it so I could get as much experience as possible with it to share with you all. So far 600+ miles in, I’m impressed. A few rough edges with the left lane behavior and the last few inches of parking are a bit slow 1/5 times until it puts it into park but with a point release update everything should be dialed in. The 350 mile drive home today from the Bay Area had zero intervention including all parking and charging. One thing I would love to see implemented is a reset button for the FSD stats page. Would be cool to have a specific trip meter for FSD stats on Trip A/B or make your own trip. I’ve been hinting at a pretty cool road trip next month with my 2025 Model 3 so it would be cool to have a reset for that. Speed control seems good on highways, it’s matching traffic speed great. Braking is very impressive for sudden slowdowns, had a big one in San Jose last night it did a great job with from 80-10mph. HUGE improvements with stop sign behavior. The acceleration and deceleration are way smoother than before, much more pleasant. Mad Max takes off strong but again, a better curve than before. Mad Max is also polished a bit and feels great. FSD v14.3 did a great job in LA traffic once I got back and will go out this evening to film videos for everyone on my normal test loops. Let me know if there’s anything specific I should try or check out. Can’t wait to see how v14.3+ progresses especially with the upgraded reasoning coming to all scenarios soon. Some awesome additions here. THANK YOU everyone @Tesla_AI for all the hard work getting this update out. More videos to come.

@DarkDeeM @DirtyTesLa They don't call him Dirty Tesla for nothin 🤷♂️
English
@DirtyTesLa Maybe use those few minutes to clean that filthy ass screen! Jesus dude... 😂😂
English
@Carpetron @DirtyTesLa They need that to get it certified in UNECE countries.

Downloading FSD14.3 right now! Here are the full release notes.
English
@HailStorm_32 @DirtyTesLa Praying H.R. 7390 overrides state approval requirement
English
@Carpetron @DirtyTesLa Not every state is going to approve the use of unsupervised FSD upon release. There will still be a large percentage of users that will be unable to use the system unsupervised.
English
@ChuckCook I guess you only have to feign going out of town; actual travel not required
English
Wow, a day before I go back to work! FSD v14.3 is here. Simultaneously downloading to the Juniper and Cybertruck.
English
@AIDRIVR Hey @ChuckCook, hope you can find some time before work tomorrow!
English
@ChuckCook @bschippers Hopefully advanced logic like this is included in 14.3!
English
@Carpetron @bschippers Very true, and good point here. You frequently don't even think about the "mode" you are in on your first merge out of your neighborhood where this matters most.
English
Here's an underreported FSD metric: go-pedal override rate — how often a driver presses the go-pedal while FSD is active.
On v14, drivers intervene with the accelerator about 1.9% of the time. On v13 it peaked at 7% and sits at 3.3% today. On v12 it hovers around 5–7%.
Worth noting: when a driver does press the go pedal, it's most often about preference — wanting to accelerate faster, take a gap differently, or match their own driving style. What many interpret as a negative intervention frequently isn't. It's personal choice.
This is a metric I'll be covering a lot more with real data to back it up. There's an enormous opportunity for @Tesla to do incredible story telling here and broadly about FSD. Hope they do. Happy to help.

@ChuckCook @bschippers Sloth mode can be is hazardous for these situations. It will try to merge at the speed limit 40 when flow is 55. Could cause an accident even if it wouldn't legally be found at fault. IMO, Standard/Hurry/Max Max should speed up to merge, while Chill/Sloth should wait for big gap
English
My biggest go pedal presses are in high speed cross traffic merges. It still lumbers out in front of oncoming traffic that forces the other vehicle to brake excessively. I am not saying it would be an accident if I didn't press the accelerator, but it could be if the other driver wasn't paying attention. Creating aggressive braking situations for other drivers is poor merging decision making IMO.
English
@TeslaVisualized @elonmusk Well I go to work tomorrow at 4am. so it will probably happen tonight. That is just the way it goes.
English
It has been 4 months since we had a new @ChuckCook FSD video. @elonmusk you MUST release FSD v14.3! Won't you think of the children?!
English
@teslatalk42069 @DirtyTesLa They'll skip 14.3 and go straight to 14.4 just to troll 🤣
English
@DirtyTesLa Post that every week and eventually you’ll be right
English
I think 14.3 will probably go wide by end of this week
Elon Musk@elonmusk
FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week
English
@AIDRIVR After this ritual, be sure to DM @DirtyTesLa for confirmation
English
@AIDRIVR I'd feel lucky to get it in May. Saying that out of love.
