Not sure where you got your data, but even assuming it’s correct from a per vehicle perspective, that metric will increasingly become irrelevant in a robotaxi world. What matters is daily person travel miles, including all uses (like deliveries, etc.).

It’s pretty simple: a Tesla is the best car you can drive and now, it’s also the best car you don’t have to drive. I added the acceleration boost to my MYLR and it’s great. I use it in cases where I need to pass or accelerate quickly and I greatly enjoy knowing I have the capability. Initially...

They may do different things. My MYLR does. For example, at the same intersection with a lane merging in, sometimes it will stay to the left and merge right and other times it will quickly move to the right and merge left (this is the less preferred behavior, but always happened on v11). Could...

Too soon. I don’t know what the thinking or plan here is. And I’m in California so don’t experience any gaps going up and down the state, as I often do on road trips. But my wife is highly concerned as the number one worry for EV adoption is range anxiety. Anything that would seem to put the...

Basic driving just isn’t that hard for humans. In the FSD future, I think drivers ed will focus on parking, navigating parking lots, and edge case maneuvers. Like taking a plane trip, where passengers just need to know how to pack and whether they are checking a bag or carrying it on. I’m know...

If that’s pain, I’ll take it for today!

No, you would just order mulch and the store would use their own autonomous delivery vehicle or a hired RT to deliver it to you. Why do you have to do it?

I agree that FSD needs to become more strategic in its behavior. On you second point, you may just be a more efficient driver than I am. In a mixed freeway/town scenario, FSD is about 7% more efficient than I am. My LR Y gets 262 wh/mi on FSD and I only get 285!

I like to drive. In 1982 I wrote a short story about autonomous driving killing free will and joy of driving called “Safe at any speed” for a creative writing class. But, as a long time tech geek, I have to say that FSD is both amazing in what it does from a technical standpoint and also very...

I feel like the guy(@CyberShy) with the Cybertruck as his avatar is gonna order one.

So, how “perfect” does it need to be? Sure, there are nots to pick. But, every day, how many times do you curse another driver for doing something stupid, or say to yourself, yeah, that was an a-hole thing I just did. FSD 12.3.3 is much better than that now. As long as it doesn’t crash or run...

Barely. Tesla Vehicle Production & Deliveries and Date for Financial Results & Webcast for First Quarter 2024

A simple per mile charge (currently 20 cents per mile based on avg. 12k miles per year and $199 monthly subscription) would be reasonable. A car with FSD not activated costs Tesla the same as a car with active FSD but the driver never uses it. They could offer insurance discounts for miles...
