Ne-Minneapolis

Tonight I received FSD Beta v11.4.1 and so I wanted to create a new blog post for all of my v11.4 videos that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XazoLbapxJI Tesla - FSD Beta 11.4.1 - Chowen Ave UPL Torture Test This video contains footage recorded on the evening of May 13th, 2023 of FSD Beta 11.4.1 taking my unprotected left (UPL) turn torture test onto Chowen Ave S from highway MN-13 S. I previously attempted this test w/ FSD Beta 11.3.6 (see link below). Unlike with v11.3, v11.4.1 exhibited none of the lane selection issues that we previously witnessed towards the end of each attempt. ...

Here is a complete list of all of my drive videos that I have recorded with FSD Beta 11.3.x: https://youtu.be/-5oQmRBqvMc Tesla - FSD Beta 11.3.6 - North Metro Test Loop (Zero Disengagements) This video contains footage recorded on April 10th, 2023 of FSD Beta 11.3.6 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). Since the 37th Ave NE construction project started earlier this week, I adjusted the beginning of the route to navigate around this particular section of road. ...

After a few month delay in FSD Beta content the planets aligned where I got a new FSD Beta build and the roads so happened to be clear (rare for this time of year in Minnesota). I have been busy testing 10.69.25.2 and minus an annoying regression with the intersection of 37th Ave NE & Central Ave NE (Northeast Minneapolis) this build has been pretty solid for me so far. ...

After a bit of a lull in FSD Beta content I received 10.69.3 earlier this morning (2022-11-02) and have been busy testing ever since. All videos related to 10.69.3 will be posted here. https://youtu.be/SC1cYNI1IRo Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.3 - St Anthony Pkwy UPL Turn Pt 1 This video contains footage recorded on the morning of November 2nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 attempting 3 UPL turns onto St Anthony Pkwy from Johnson St NE (NE Minneapolis). There was not a lot of traffic during this time of day so I’ll be posting another video later tonight once rush hour hits. ...

After a busy last couple of weeks testing FSD Beta 10.69.1 & 10.69.1.1 I received 10.69.2 yesterday and had the opportunity to do some testing around NE Minneapolis. Right off the bat I recognized 10.69.2 is much better about detecting VRUs (especially at distance) however in some cases it seems a little too eager to hit the brakes when approaching a VRU waiting to cross the intersection, even when traffic is closely following behind. I plan to do a few more drives tomorrow before I leave for California so stay tuned for more 10.69 content! ...

After doing a ton of testing with FSD Beta 10.69.1 over the last few days I received a notification around noon yesterday that Tesla OS 2022.20.11 aka FSD Beta 10.69.1.1 was ready to install on my Model 3. After performing a few drives with 10.69.1.1 I can say it builds upon some of the improvements we saw in 10.69.1 while: Introducing smoother creep behavior Producing less jerky brake & throttle inputs Adding increased confidence with VRUs I plan to do some additional testing as time permits over the long weekend so stay tuned for more FSD Beta content! ...

Earlier this week I received Tesla FSD Beta 10.69.1 and was able to perform a bunch of testing where I recognized some big improvements as well some as some new issues & regressions. What a blast, can’t wait to test 10.69.1.1 as well as 10.69.2! https://youtu.be/zSHVlkdg_1o Episode #1 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.1 - Home to Work This video contains footage recorded on the morning of August 31st, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). Aside from the disengagement at the beginning of the video, we enjoy one of the smoothest rides to date w/ FSD Beta thanks to the many enhancements included with 10.69.1. Along the way we also confirm that a long-standing lane selection issue at the intersection of 37th Ave NE & Central Ave NE has been resolved. I am beyond excited because this issue has plagued each of the previous FSD Beta 10.x builds and has always resulted in a disengagement each & every the intersection came up. Shoutout to the Autopilot team for their continued focus and hard work on FSD Beta, it is great to see the improvements with each build first hand! ...

Intro On October 11th, 2021, 1000 US-based Tesla owners including myself were granted access to Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD) Beta. This group of Tesla owners were selected based on their Tesla Safety Score (had to initially be 100) which was calculated based on the following safety factors: If you would like to learn more, Tesla published a great read up on how each of these safety factors are computed here. If you are a Tesla owner and would like to know how many miles you would need to drive with a perfect score in order to improve your overall score, check out the safety score spreadsheet here. ...
