Añadido: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Welcome back Tesla family. This is going to be not too long of an episode. We are going to see what happens when you actually pass out behind the wheel. My co-driver here is going to be ready in case we do have anything dangerous.

[00:00:11]>> I hope I'm ready.

[00:00:12]>> you're ready, but I am just going to pass out and when it nags me, I'm not going to respond and we're going to see >> How long are you going to be out?

[00:00:19]>> I'm actually nervous, but let's go.

[00:00:21]Ready?

[00:00:22]3 2 1 >> I know I have one job.

[00:00:29]That's the nervous part. Pay it slight attention force or or apply slight turning force to steering wheel. Okay.

[00:00:38]Okay, it's flashing blue.

[00:00:40]It's beeping.

[00:00:42]Red hand red hand on the steering wheel.

[00:00:47]Still going.

[00:00:49]Another beep beep.

[00:00:54]Hand on the steering FSD supervised unavailable pulling over soon take over to drive immediately. Uh Uh to drive manually. Wow, I can't read.

[00:01:03]Uh what's it going to do? What's it going to do?

[00:01:06]Is it going to pull over?

[00:01:09]Uh uh uh it's turning on the emergency signal and now it's pulling over.

[00:01:15]It's pulling over.

[00:01:17]And we're almost Oh my god!

[00:01:20]And it just stopped.

[00:01:23]Holy cow! And then self-driving features warning, okay. I don't know what's going to happen.

[00:01:32]It's Keep beeping. The hazards are on.

[00:01:36]>> I'm not moving. Is Is it counting or saying anything on the screen?

[00:01:40]>> No, there is a pop-up of self-driving feature warning.

[00:01:45]Uh >> Nothing's happening. There's no option.

[00:01:50]>> Nothing just the sound. Well, you there's a okay button to click and then these features will no longer operate after four more strikes. So, you got four more strikes, then you cannot use FSD anymore.

[00:02:01]>> All right, I'm going to look up. I was trying to see if this would call 911. I heard rumors about that.

[00:02:07]>> Woo.

[00:02:09]Dude, this was such a sketchy place to pull over.

[00:02:12]>> But, more importantly, it did pull over.

[00:02:15]>> It did safely.

[00:02:17]>> I I got to wait until traffic is clear now. FSD should not work for the rest of this trip because when you get a strike, uh it takes away your ability to do FSD.

[00:02:30]So, if I try to do it right now, oh, no, it works.

[00:02:33]>> No, it says you got four more.

[00:02:34]>> So, back on version 13, we were test driving a Model X before we ever bought our own Tesla, and >> You got strike out right away.

[00:02:44]>> And on our very first test drive, I got a strike. And it just stopped.

[00:02:52]And it was ner- nerve-wracking and alarming and weird. There was a bunch of issues with it. But, we didn't know anything about Tesla FSD at the time. It was our 48-hour test drive. And I was so confused, and I did research about it.

[00:03:07]And I If you remember, I could not turn FSD back on.

[00:03:09]>> Yeah, I remember.

[00:03:10]>> And we I found out later you have to get out of the car and back in the car, and that like resets your trip, and that allows you to use FSD again. Now, if you get I thought it was three strikes you're out.

[00:03:22]>> It says four on the screen.

[00:03:23]>> Four more, right? So, that means you get five strikes.

[00:03:26]>> what I told you.

[00:03:26]>> So, um I thought on version 13 it was three strikes you're out. And >> five.

[00:03:33]>> And you got I think a week or Yeah, I think it was a week suspension or something like that.

[00:03:38]>> Something like that.

[00:03:39]>> Well, I see one question all the time online. People ask, "Hey, um if I get a strike or if I lose FSD, can my wife take over and drive?" And no, people don't understand. Your car has FSD, not you as a person.

[00:03:55]>> Yeah, not the user.

[00:03:56]>> I didn't get a strike, the car just got a strike. So, if the car gets too many strikes and it loses FSD, the car has lost FSD, you know, until it resumes.

[00:04:05]You're in timeout. So, it doesn't matter who the driver is, you can't switch drivers and get it back. You have to drive yourself for the durange the duration. There we go. Of the of the timeout.

[00:04:19]Grock, can you explain uh FSD strikes and how long a timeout duration is?

[00:04:31]>> FSD strikes or strike outs happen when the system detects inattentiveness after repeated audio and visual warnings, disabling it for the rest of that drive.

[00:04:40]You can get up to five strikes before a one-week suspension, but each forgives after 3.5 days of no new ones. Check controls, self-driving to see your count.

[00:04:50]>> Oh, that's good.

[00:04:51]>> Okay. So, you can see it in controls.

[00:04:54]So, if I go to controls and I go to self-driving uh >> No strike out?

[00:05:00]>> I don't see >> Yeah, in control >> where it says strikes.

[00:05:05]>> Try controls up top, you like. It might show your strike count there instead, especially if self-driving isn't listed separately. If still nothing, you probably have zero strikes.

[00:05:15]>> I definitely just got one.
