@jchybow @elonmusk Absolutely and I didn’t mention it as a compromise until you suggested for free. That’s different than what was promised. Still waiting on that. Don’t get to just change your mind at any time when you already cashed the check.

Tesla should make supercharging free for all Teslas This may not make sense today, but eventually it will. Free supercharging will be another major moat that Tesla owners enjoy.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt

NEWS: Tesla has opened its first true V4 Supercharging station on the East Coast, capable of delivering up to 500 kW charging speeds. • Location: Kissimmee, Florida (near Orlando) • 8 charging stalls • Fees for Tesla owners: $0.40/kWh ($0.20/kWh off-peak) • Fees for all other EVs: $0.56/kWh ($0.28/kWh off-peak) This is now the fourth 500kW capable V4 Tesla Supercharger that's live in the U.S. Link to station: tesla.com/findus?bounds=…

@TeslaJoy Top screen ~60mph FSD 13.2.x cybertruck in slow motion. Bottom screen ~30mph FSF 14.2.x model 3/y at full framerate. Debunked indeed.

@jchybow @elonmusk He said it not me. You can ponder for magical free supercharging. I’m just asking for what he said he would do. In the grand scheme of things only one of those is deranged. 😘

@elonmusk @DirtyTesLa Can we tweak it and apply our custom version as our recommendations feed? Possibly allow others to subscribe to your custom version. Etc. Sounds hard core.

@Alloutnikhil @ChadMoran Not to mention *every* crash uploads data immediately when airbags deploy, and they train on them. So his v14.2.x likely has extra training and certainly has on-route hints on that exact location.

Is this not a double standard? The CT was on FSD 13, this test on FSD 14. Every time I post a critical issue FSD has done 90% of the comments are yelling at me about how I'm "not on the latest version". Yet we're using a version 6 months newer to prove an older one DIDN'T do something?
JC Christopher@JCChristopher

I went to the exact same location of the Cybertruck accident shown in the Fox News video. This is the US-69/59 Eastex Freeway northbound HOV lane at the Y-split near the Eastex Park & Ride exit (approaching from downtown Houston toward Humble). In the Fox News video, the vehicle failed to follow the right curve, going straight into the barrier. Well, I tested it twice today with Tesla FSD engaged the entire time with zero human intervention. And unless you think I am a hologram speaking to you from another dimension now, it worked out really well. Here is the video of me taking the exact same curve twice, with Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5.

@SawyerMerritt Shouldn’t the NHTSA be demanding low visibility warning systems in cases where FSD is NOT deployed, since FSD in its current v14.x appears to handle adverse conditions extremely well?

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

@LinkN01 @KerbalNut This is silly “investigative journalism” prime example of “doing my own research” making boys of men. 1 is a slowed video that estimates at 60mph in a big ass truck on FSD 13. The other is full frame rate 30mph model 3/y on FSD 14. Apples and Oranges but totally, Columbo.

Tesla Full Self-Driving V14.3 remains in active development; now tentatively releasing next month. The latest build of FSD, V14.2.2.5 released one month ago and V14.2 was first released in November 2025.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@DBurkland @pbeisel It’s in testing right now. Wide release in a few weeks.

Tesla's FSD: 5.3 million miles between accidents. US driving average: 660,000.  That's 9x safer. And it's only getting better.

@jchybow @MissJilianne note that Navigate on AP was driving, lost traction and red hands forced disengagement. I was 100% paying attention, felt car slipping and calmly warned passenger, took over and attempted recovery. Excluded from AP crash data. Impact took too long from red hands.🤡

@jchybow @MissJilianne And as long as Tesla drivers are free to disengage the accident rate will remain low. As it has for nearly a decade. But dozens of minor to mid accidents I’ve prevented personally on my hw3. Only one major and the disengagement didn’t save us. The car was totaled. We are safe.

If Autopilot and Full Self-Driving were truly flawless, there wouldn’t be Cybertrucks crashing because a driver failed to intervene, there wouldn’t be a critical error to begin with. Seems pretty clear to me.

@Tslachan @elonmusk Ashok said they would focus on it right after ai4 v14 was complete. He’s leading macro hard (tesla claw) now and theyre focused on rogotaxi and a few weeks from 14.3. I would say q3 earliest and im sure something else will push it further. Sorry :(

$TSLA If the V14 lite version is released, I'm willing to buy FSD right away. The HW3 owner has been waiting for a long time. Can it be released in the first half of this year? I'm curious about the approximate timeline. @elonmusk

@Tryangle @JCChristopher The “truth” of how v14.2.2.5 with current maps in a 3/Y handles it. Thank you. Doesn’t help aside from knowing they’re improving. But thank you. The issue was with v13.2.x with maps from August 2025 in a CT. Ok go do it again. We’ll wait for more “truth.”

Here is the truth about how FSD handles the exact turn from the Fox hit piece we saw the last couple days. Thanks @JCChristopher for taking the time to run this a couple times…. That’s exactly how any version of FSD that the Cybertruck has ever had would take that turn, and we FSD users all know it

@01Ananto The suspicious part is that you have an accusation about a feature that didn’t exist for CT at the time, and relying on what FSD “should” have been able to handle. Probably just let someone else chime in.

Anyone who has driven with FSD knows this couldn't have been engaged FSD. Four seconds is a lot on the highway, and if the driver didn't disengage, FSD should have been able to handle it. The suspicious part was when he shared the video without the self-driving info baked in.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt

UPDATE: Elon Musk says the driver of this Cybertruck disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing, which means the driver was manually driving during this entire clip that Fox shared. Elon: "As anyone knows who uses it, that video is not how Autopilot drives."

@AustinTeslaClub Saying it disengaged 4s prior to impact doesn’t refute the allegations. The FSD software seems to have failed to brake approaching the sharp 15mph limit curve around 60mph. Absolutely she disengaged. Unfortunate too late and unprepared to tame a cyber. Both faults at play.
