Tesla’s FSD remains a high-priced babysitting chore that replaces the ease of driving with the anxiety of constant supervision. It proves that "supervised autonomy" is just a fancy term for a machine that still lacks the basic confidence of a human driver.

Tesla Model Y L FSD Supervised 14.3.3 Wednesday Early Morning Commute
Added:Morning everyone. I am Tesla Tom and today is Wednesday morning. Um, and we are driving to work again. It is 10 to 7:00, so just sort of pre peak hour, pre pre- rush hour.
I've had my coffee and ready to use uh for self-driving. supervised once again with you guys here in the Tesla Model Y L on version 14.3.3 and we are going to use Grock today. So let's try activating Grock. Hey Grock.
Maybe I haven't set hey Grock yet so I will set that later but I can also use this. Hold on to this.
Navigate me to uh Rockland's Road Crow's Nest.
Right. So, let's see. Let's uh do that.
>> There we go.
And can you start full self-driving for me?
>> Navigating to Rockland's Road at Morton Street in Crow's Nest about 10 km away 20 minutes.
>> I can't start full self.
>> Okay. So, she can't All right. Thanks, Grock. That's all.
>> You're welcome. Safe travels.
>> All right, so we'll start self-driving ourselves.
>> Right. Hopefully Grocer goes away. Let's change it to hurry mode cuz I personally find standard too stressful. Might give the heart rate monitor a rest. You know what my heart rate is now in the mornings. Starting to get more used to it, of course. Right, back on this tricky turn up to Ringa Road.
This normally causes me some anxiety anyway without FSD.
Hopefully there are no cars today.
It's turning pretty slowly. My goodness, that was a slow turn.
I mean, there's like no one no one behind me. Let me just show you. Look at that. It's completely clear. So, I would have just zipped out. So, I'm surprised how slow that they took that this car.
Excuse me.
Oh, well, I'll show you the camera so you can monitor what's going on with me.
Undertaking this truck here going four above the prescribed speed limit. There is a pedestrian crossing the road.
probably went a bit quicker than I personally would have with a pedestrian crossing. I would have slowed down for her, but hey, that's me.
Hopefully the uh light will help with the vision a bit more. It's a bit dark, I know, at the moment, but um it's still I mean it's still in dark mode, so I don't think it's officially sun risen yet.
So, we should see it switch to light mode soon.
You know what? I'm going to put my hands in my lap like this, like crossed like that, just to show I'm I'm relaxed, but still ready to be, of course, as always.
Yeah, I think there's a fine line, isn't there? You don't want to get too relaxed because you don't want to get too complacent. You never know just in traffic in general, right? You don't want to be too complacent. Uh Tesla always tells us to be alert still. It's not full self-driving. It's still super fast.
See, today it's going go five under the speed limit. How curious. What if I pump the accelerator just a bit? Let's get it up to 80, which is the speed limit. No, just wants to drop down to 75. Okay. How curious. I mean, I'm in the left lane.
I'm in hurry mode.
Strange, right? Strange. No idea. Don't know.
Tell me what you prefer on the vision here. Do you prefer seeing all the visualizations? Do you prefer split screening the nav? Do you prefer the cameras up like this? Let me know.
I'm going to use Grock again.
Hey Grock, can you make sure that we are traveling by Eastern Valley Way?
No, the current route heads south via Willoughby Road and Pacific Highway, not Eastern Valley Way.
>> Okay.
>> Shall I search for a route that includes >> Yes, please.
>> All right. Let me route updated to go via Eastern Valley Way, Chhatzwood first, then to Rockland's Road at Morton Street.
>> All right, let's see.
Let's see whether this updates itself.
Okay, it's cutting in front of the uh motorcycle. My hand up for the Sydney wave.
Indicated left again. All good. Okay, so you've seen me go by uh Liby Road and Pentest. That was a little bit stressful because it chose some interesting lanes.
But this is the way I would personally go normally if I were to go down to Crow's Nest kind of area.
So different way down. Makes it more interesting, right? Otherwise, it's same old same old.
So at 7:00 a.m. um it's okay because the right lane usually is not blocked to turn right onto I think it's called Gibbs Street down into Chhatzwood. Um, and also like the Tesla's showroom and Bunnings and so on. But, um, if it was any later, like say 8:00, I would definitely stick to the left lane cuz that right lane can get blocked and then you're stuck behind people turning right. Uh, as tends to be the case in Sydney. Um, filter lanes sometimes just are not long enough.
So, you just kind of have that local knowledge.
Let's put the cameras back on for you.
Uh, let's show the rear ones. Step one point showing the front. You can see the front already.
It's a nice gentle acceleration out of the traffic light. Why are you turning left? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't indicate. Uh I It's a navigation issue. It wanted to go to the tennis center. That's all right. I will try navigating again. So let's go rock.
N. No, that's not rock. Let's go. Long press. Navigate to Rockland's Road Austin Craft.
>> All right. That's better. Navigating to Rockland's Road at Waton Street in Walston Craft >> right now. It wanted to turn into the tennis center which obviously I don't want to do. Uh that was just to make sure I got onto this route. So intervention, yes, but it's like a navigation issue. So anyway, don't count. Well, it's still intervention, but not really. It's um yeah, regardless, we're back on. Back on route. All good. It's why we stay in control. Otherwise, I'd add like five minutes to my journey going in there.
Coming out again.
All good. All good.
All right, let's put the cameras back on for you. Put the rear camera on. It's nice having that front bumper camera.
It's good for parking in my garage. I can see It's great acceleration, honestly.
Traffic light beater. Oh. Oh. Oh, no.
No. It's going 63. See, I don't like that. It's coming up to a speed camera.
Uh, I'm going to put other. Actually, I'll say something. Um, I'll say something.
Uh, it was going past 60 km an hour past a fixed speed camera. I potentially would have got a speeding ticket. Not going to risk that. Hence, I intervened.
Yeah. Yep. Unfortunately, no. Not risking a I don't know how many.
Hundreds of dollars in New South Wales.
$4 $500 demerit points just for this.
Not worth it, guys. Not worth it.
Yeah, I think hopefully I know Tesla engineers are watching this, so I know I know in America and other countries, you know, whatever you go 5, 10 over, no one cares, but pretty vigilant here in Australia, certainly in um New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland. I'm sure other states are the same. You know, I don't know what the threshold is for a speeding ticket, but I'm not going to test it today.
And some say five over, some say 10 over, some say 10%, three 3ks over, whatever. I'm definitely not risk it for you guys. I'm sorry.
Uh, not worth it.
Okay, there is like cabling on the road.
How random is that? How random is that?
Some cabling just across here.
Potential hazard.
It is what it is. Maybe road works. I left something on the road. Shouldn't get tangled up with my wheel. I would have thought.
It's good. Good reaction time. This um car just went at the same time as the um the truck ahead.
Look at that. Zippering in. How good letting the Cooper in. What a good citizen.
Very clever. Very good.
today. Is the lane still a bit right by us? Yes, you can see. See, it's still just a bit to the right of the lane.
Someone now suggested we do that. Thank you for that suggestion. Past the traffic island, refuge island. Now, I should hopefully slip into the left lane. You got to be quick in Sydney cuz if you don't, someone will like zip up behind you, take your spot. It's doggy dog world in the city. It's a bit slow into this lane, isn't it? Why is it turning so slow? I'm going to pump the accelerator cuz it's just painfully slow. Oh my goodness. Still in hurry mode, though. Let's get going. Jeez.
I can tell the car behind me is getting more impatient with me. Starting to tell me a bit.
Let's see. Let's see how quickly this uh car goes. Otherwise, I'm going to have to pump the accelerator.
Wow, that's painfully slow. I'm just going to accelerate a bit. Can't take it. Cannot take it.
It's funny cuz if it was any slower the traffic, like say 8:00, 8:30, um it's actually better because everyone's going slower, right? So, I'm not too fast. But like 7:00, you got trades, you got people in a rush to get to work early.
It's a different population, right? So, everyone is it's you're expected to go, you know, to the speed limit.
Um, it's like a a high mentality, right?
We're all sort of thinking the same, trying to get to work early or whatever it is.
So, I kind of Yeah, there's something I don't know AI computers can't quite replicate yet. That that human element, that emotional quotient.
I'm not sure if ever will to be honest.
I suppose it doesn't matter when one day everyone's self-driving, whatever that might be. But for now, when you are with humans, I think you should act like like a human still.
It's a tricky one, isn't it? Tricky.
Now, let's see which way this this uh nav brings us. See, see that rev four there? That's the one that was sort of half tailing me. Now, it's tailing the um the truck. So, wasn't just me.
That's the kind of people you're dealing with in Sydney.
Okay, so it's wanting me to go down Chando Street. That's probably not how I would have gone, but hey, maybe the nav knows better. I normally go left into the slip road and then up West Street for those in Sydney. You know what I mean? But no more fixed speed cameras, I don't think.
For all that tailing with this Rav 4, um, still didn't make the light. I always find that amusing.
Okay, so see is there a rolling start? Will it come to a stop?
No stop. It is accelerate out.
Nice. Okay, so I'm going straight.
See, let's see. This is where hugging the right side of the lane is appropriate under the underpass.
Nice gentle stop.
Leaves a bit of room between this car and the next.
Probably a bit more than I would have personally, but no big deal cuz there's no one behind us anyway and there's no traffic.
I think I probably would have pushed up a little bit if there was more cars.
Right turn here. Okay.
Gee, it's a slow turner. I hate to think what sloth mode is like. My goodness.
I know I have to try it for you guys. I know I have to try sloth mode. It's my civic duty, isn't it? Sloth mode through like Chatswood.
Maybe I'll do that for you.
Where's somewhere that really annoy people in Sydney? I went through sloth mode.
Don't know.
Don't know. Why is it going down here?
Maybe it's a new way. I don't know.
Interesting, isn't it? Oxley. Okay, let's go this way.
Whatever works. That was a speed camera.
Sorry, forgot. Willoughby Road Junction.
Nano turn.
If the cameras can see more than me, why is it turning so slowly? Why does not exude the confidence that it can turn quicker?
Anyway, okay. Today there's no one crossing the road.
Nothing to my right. No one else in the roundabout. All good things indicating out crossing is free.
It's going to turn left at this road.
No, it's going to keep going this way and then turn left at a Pacific Highway again. No one today at the Kissen Road.
It likes going down this road next to the metro, doesn't it? Interesting. It really favors this way. I know. The other day when I did the test, it still went this way as well.
Don't know. Must be something about this way. It likes Interesting.
Now, there is a pedestrian crossing up ahead on the left.
So, we might get a little bit delayed because I'm sure this will be a red light turning left. Yes, I was correct.
Mentioned this dude here in the ballet club or in the beanie wanting to jaywalk.
See what happens. This could be interesting. Oh no, it's looking for an Uber. Okay, so looking for ride share.
Oh man.
No, no, no. Now it's going to stop in front of me.
Oh man, this is so bad.
Let's look. This kiss and right area is probably not a great spot for it. But hey, that's all right. We missed the light.
No, not right. Just getting a lift.
All good. All good.
Let's put the seat heaters on. It is a little bit little bit cold this morning. Let's go one. One's enough.
10° outside. It's been cold last couple of mornings.
It's a bit of a long light, isn't it?
Now, if if the turn is slow again, I will actually pump the accelerator just cuz I don't want to miss this light. And I don't want to make someone else miss the light, too.
I might even go forward a bit.
There you go.
Bunch up. Okay, let's see. Let's see how quickly this car now turns.
Look at that. Even though it's a red light, it is all right. So, it's just moved up. It's a red light.
Okay, that wasn't too bad. It's still a little slow, honestly. But I guess pedestrians are around, so that's to be a little bit safe.
Going to the middle lane. Good. That's the correct choice so far.
It's a beep. For some reason, that wasn't us.
Okay, good. Way we go. I think this is a speed camera here.
Right.
I'm going to actually um pull over.
a little bit when we get to Rockland's road. Let's see what happens now in this lane. We're going to have to merge right soon.
Man, that was a slow takeoff.
Painfully slow.
I don't know. My threshold is um is low today for impatience.
Okay, every drive is different, right? We've done this on projector turn before, but every driver is different, which is what makes this so fascinating.
Okay, doing the right thing. Waiting until the filter lane to indicate right and in that lane. Let's see where this pulls over. I'm curious. Oh, look. No one today, so I'm protected as easy.
Pedestrian crossing. All good. Where does it pull over? Let's put the nav back on.
Okay, all the way down there. That's fine. No worries. I'm happy to test this out further down there for you guys. 9° just went a little bit colder. As if it wasn't cold enough.
Pass the hospital pedestrian crossing.
All right, it's okay to go slow here.
Let's um it's appropriately doing the right thing. There's pedestrians around through the speed bump. still out right away. So, all good. Now, let's see what happens.
Okay. Okay. That might be one, two, three. Success, everyone.
Brilliant. Not bad at all. Not bad at all. Okay. Just put the cameras up for you to show how far away from the curb it was. I mean, look, it's not parking good, but it's pulled over, right? So, hey, I think that's where we'll end it today. So, thanks for watching everyone.
I'm Tesla Tom. Until the next uh FSD video on Ludicrous Feed, happy charging.
Have a good morning.
