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.
Tesla continues to open up access to the FSD beta software with every new release which currently happens every ~2 weeks. As stated previously, owners (who opted in) with the highest safety scores will be prioritized first.
My Experience
Over the past few weeks I have done a fair amount of driving with FSD Beta and have recorded my experiences into a series of vlogs. I will be using this blog post as an index for all of my FSD Beta vlogs and will try my best to upload a new video each week going forward.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of July 18th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.12.2 driving me around a shortened version of my NE Minneapolis Test Loop. Unlike my previous NE Minneapolis Test Loop videos, this one skips just to the parts of the route that have not yet been covered / tested in my other 10.12.2 videos. A couple of improvements were noticed along the way however many persistent issues remain, one of which I have escalated to the Autopilot team for further investigation.
This video contains footage recorded on June 30th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.12.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). As with my other 10.12.2 videos, I recognize several improvements along the way as well as some persistent map-related issues that unfortunately lead to disengagements.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of June 22nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.12.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). During this drive we recognize several improvements as well as some unfortunate issues that continue to persist between FSD Beta 10.x builds.
After selling my 2018 Model 3 Performance and buying a new one in March I have been patiently waiting to get re-added into the FSD Beta program. After 3 months and over 6,000 miles of near perfect driving (100 safety score the entire time), I was re-added to the program a few weeks ago. Ever since then, I have been busy testing FSD Beta 10.12.2 around the Twin Cities and am pleased to say I’ve noticed some definite progress since 10.10.2. Picking up where I left off with my last video, I recorded a drive from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways). Some improvements were acknowledged along the way however several lingering issues remain from previous FSD Beta builds.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of March 3rd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways). During the drive, we experienced several disengagements in familiar spots where FSD Beta has struggled in each of the 10.x builds. As I have said in the past, we continue to see small progress being made between FSD Beta builds and I”m hopeful that we will some big improvements when FSD Beta V11 is released later this year. For the most recent list of improvements and issues that I have acknowledged with FSD Beta 10.10.2 please refer to the following link: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-334182.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of March 3rd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Columbia Heights and back. Even though this is a fairly short drive I was able to confirm (2) longstanding issues have been fixed in FSD Beta 10.10.2.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of March 1st, 2022 of AutoPilot + FSD Beta 10.10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Shakopee, MN. I completed the ~35 minute drive with only a single disengagement which occurred at the beginning of the trip. While there is still room for improvement it is great to see AutoPilot + FSD Beta regularly complete trips like this one with relative ease.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of February 27th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Dairy Queen (St. Anthony, MN). Even though this is a relatively short drive we were able to recognize some improvements along the way as well as witness a flawless 180-degree turn! Like I have done with previous videos, I have updated my running tally of improvements and issues with FSD Beta 10.10.2 which you can find here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-333710.
This video contains footage recorded on February 20th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.10.2 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. I will be repeating this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime). Like I have done with previous videos, I have updated my running tally of improvements and issues with FSD Beta 10.10.2 which you can find here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-333621.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of January 16th, 2022 where I tested FSD Beta 10.8 at the difficult intersection of Reservoir Blvd and 37th Ave NE (Columbia Heights, MN). This intersection has been a struggle for each of the previous FSD Beta builds however based on tonight’s testing I can confirm FSD Beta 10.8 includes a confirmed improvement here.
This video contains footage recorded on January 9th, 2022 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.8 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). This route does not have many turns however it does have a few areas where FSD beta has struggled in the past. One of those areas is the intersection of 37th Ave NE & University Ave NE where there is a shared bike + vehicle turn lane (See example here: https://nacto.org/wp-content/uploads/gallery/bikewaysatturnlanes_3d/through-bike-lane-birdseye.jpg) which the car has refused to use (when turning right) in each of the FSD Beta 10.x builds. In this video I confirm that this issue is for sure fixed in FSD Beta 10.8 and the car now properly uses the shared bike + vehicle turn lanes now when turning right! On top of this improvement I also witnessed one of the most confident left turns onto Main Street (Coon Rapids, MN) that I’ve seen so far with the FSD Beta 10.x builds. Thanks to the increased performance of FSD Beta 10.8, zero disengagement drives are now becoming more & more common which is exciting to see! With that said, one persistent issue that needs to be addressed in the near future is the handling of slippery conditions. At the beginning of this video you will notice the car goes into a slight 4-wheel drift following a left turn due to excessive throttle input. This sort of behavior could quickly be addressed if FSD was able to change its acceleration profile based on the outside ambient temperature. Hopefully we see an improvement in this area in future builds as winter isn’t going anywhere anytime soon here in Minnesota :). Like I have done with previous videos, I have updated my running tally of improvements and issues with FSD Beta 10.8 that you can find here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-329678.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of December 29th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.8 driving me from my company’s office (Edina, MN) to Micro Center (St. Louis Park). Rather than take the recommended route which utilizes Highway 100, I instead used another route which leverages only city streets. Thanks to a rapid drop in temperature overnight, the roads were fairly slippery and so I expected to experience several disengagements along the way. Similar to another drive that I completed earlier in the day (see here), I reduced the set speed by a few mph to match the slippery conditions. Even with challenging winter road conditions, glare from the sun, and one of the toughest routes I’ve put in front of FSD Beta yet, the car performed extremely well resulting in a ZERO disengagement drive! Even though I have experienced zero disengagement drives in the past (10.3.1 was the last), the conditions and route were nowhere near as challenging as the ones encountered in this drive. There were of course several minor annoyances that I noticed (and noted) however forward progress continues to be made with FSD Beta and 10.8 is for sure the best release yet. After driving a few hundred miles with FSD Beta 10.8 I have been able to recognize several improvements, a few new issues, and several persistent issues from previous builds that unfortunately still remain. I have compiled a list of these findings and posted them here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-329350.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of December 29th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.8 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). Thanks to a rapid drop in temperature overnight, the roads were fairly slippery and as a result I experienced several disengagements along the way. In future builds it would be great to see Tesla address this limitation by limiting the rate of acceleration when the outside temperature is below a certain threshold (maybe 20F). On top of these disengagements I also came across another issue which occurs when you override AutoPilot or FSD by providing steering wheel input. Doing so disables autosteer & activates Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) which completely ignores the previously set speed (as well as road conditions) and instead accelerates to the current speed limit + any configured offset. This behavior is dangerous and could quickly put the driver into a peculiar situation. Aside from these issues I was able to recognize a few improvements which include FSD properly avoiding dead space as well as finally using a shared bike / turn lane even when the outside curbing was partially covered in snow.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of December 27th, 2021 of AutoPilot + FSD Beta 10.8 driving me from Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN) to Micro Center (St. Louis Park, MN). Except for a single disengagement (that was my fault), the car did a fantastic job navigating the confusing streets of St. Paul even with mixed road conditions and heavy traffic. During this drive I was able to confirm noticeable improvements in FSD Beta 10.8 including improved handling of jaywalking pedestrians as well as smoother merge behavior when merging onto freeways.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of December 27th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.8 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways). We received a few inches of snow the night before so side streets were still mostly covered in snow and poorly plowed. Although there were several disengagements due to the road conditions I still was able to recognize a few improvements that prove Tesla is paying attention to wintry conditions and training accordingly.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of Christmas Day 2021 of FSD Beta 10.8 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. I will be doing this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime). My current thoughts of FSD Beta 10.8 so far can be found here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-328065.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of Christmas Eve 2021 of FSD Beta 10.8 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. I will be doing this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime). My current thoughts of FSD Beta 10.8 so far can be found here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-327937.
This video contains footage recorded on December 21st, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.6.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). Just before the start of this drive we got a light dusting of snow so the first part of the video does a good job illustrating how FSD Beta currently performs in mixed conditions. In this video we also see some new behavior as a result of the road conditions that I later test (once the roads were clear) to highlight a current limitation. As there are plenty of straight stretches along this route, I have fast forwarded through them to highlight the turns and places where I added commentary.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of December 19th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.6.1 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. I will be doing this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime). My current thoughts of FSD Beta 10.6.1 so far can be found here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-327494.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of December 17th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.6.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways). We received a slight dusting of snow earlier in the day however most of the streets were already clear and any of the issues encountered were not a result of the conditions.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of December 15th, 2021 where I attempted to see how FSD Beta 10.6.1 would handle a difficult intersection by my house (Columbia Heights, MN). Thanks to power.saver on teslamotorsclub.com for the idea!
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of December 14th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.6.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). The beginning part of this drive shares a similar route to my NE Minneapolis Test Loop so since time was limited I wanted to see if I immediately noticed any behavior changes with FSD Beta 10.6.1.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of Friday, December 10th of FSD Beta 10.5 driving me around a shortened version of my Northeast Minneapolis test loop during a winter storm. Going into this drive I had very low expectations based on videos from other Youtubers however I came away thoroughly impressed. Although I encountered several disengagements along the way, the car did a fantastic job mapping out driving space even when curbing & road lines were covered (completely or partially) by snow. We are only at the beginning of winter here in Minnesota so expect many more FSD + winter videos over the coming weeks. In the meantime, fellow Youtuber Brian Riebe has some great content out there including some FSD Beta videos of his own that I highly recommend you check out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/brianriebeart/videos.
This video contains footage recorded on November 27th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.5 driving my wife and I from our home (NE Minneapolis) to our friend’s house (Highland Park – St. Paul, MN). Along the way we make a quick stop at Red Cow (St. Paul) to pickup some tasty takeout food. As there are several straight stretches along this route, I have fast forwarded through them to highlight the turns and places where I added commentary.
This video contains footage recorded on November 26th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.5 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). I most recently drove this route on 2021-11-08 and wanted to see if I noticed any changes between FSD Beta 10.4 and 10.5. As there are plenty of straight stretches along this route, I have fast forwarded through them to highlight the turns and places where I added commentary.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day 2021 of FSD Beta 10.5 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. I will be doing this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime). My current thoughts on FSD Beta 10.5 can be found here: https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/minnesota-fsd-beta-videos.18912/post-325672.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 23rd, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.5 driving me around a test loop that I came up with in Northeast Minneapolis. After many drives with FSD I have noticed several spots where it has continued to struggle so I have since compiled these locations into a single, repeatable drive. I will be doing this drive after each release with the goal of testing for improvements as well as regressions (daytime & nighttime).
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of November 23rd, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.5 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to McDonalds (Columbia Heights) and back. Even though this is a fairly short video, I wanted to share my initial impression of FSD Beta 10.5 and if I noticed any immediate changes in vehicle behavior.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 16th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways). Along the way I noticed several improvements with FSD Beta 10.4 compared to when I did a similar drive with FSD Beta 10.3.1. With FSD Beta 10.5 starting to roll out this will be my last 10.4 video
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 16th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Columbia Heights and back. Even though this is a fairly short video, it does a decent job of highlighting some scenarios that currently cause FSD Beta 10.4 trouble including early braking when approaching intersections (that we will be turning at).
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 16th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from The Familia Barbershop (South Minneapolis) to my home (NE Minneapolis). Along the way you will notice several common scenarios that you would expect to encounter in any similarly-sized US city. Last but not least, if you live in the Twin Cities and looking for a good barber I highly recommend Hugo at The Familia (https://hugothebarber.setmore.com).
This video contains footage recorded on the evening November 11th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from Rosedale Mall (Roseville, MN) to my home (NE Minneapolis). Even though this is a fairly short drive, it highlights some of the scenarios that FSD Beta 10.4 currently struggles with.
This video contains footage recorded on November 9th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). I previously recorded this drive in an earlier video with FSD 10.2 and so you’ll notice some improvements along with some issues that remain.
This video contains footage recorded on November 8th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN).
This video contains footage recorded on November 8th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.4 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). I most recently drove this route on 2021-10-28 and wanted to see if I noticed any changes between FSD Beta 10.3.1 and 10.4. As there are plenty of straight stretches along this route, I have fast forwarded through them to highlight the turns and places where I added commentary.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 2nd, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN), all on city streets (no highways this time). Much like my previous videos, this video serves as an accurate depiction of the current state of FSD Beta when it comes to how it handles city streets. One thing I would like to note is that at around 15:35 my Go Pro overheated however I was able to quickly recover and so only a few seconds of video was lost. This will be my last video for FSD Beta 10.3.1 as 10.4 is now rolling out and I should have some comparison videos posted later this week. As always if you like seeing how FSD Beta handles our lovely Twin Cities streets, please like & subscribe.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 1st, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me around random parts of Downtown Minneapolis while I waited to pickup my wife. As you will notice in the video, there are a few spots where FSD Beta really struggles and so I’ll be making sure to note these and return once future builds are released.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 1st, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me through what I call the Lincoln Street NE Obstacle Course (NE Minneapolis). To provide some background, road crews setup this obstacle course as a way to keep traffic from speeding down what is normally a quiet residential street while a section of Johnson Street NE was renovated. I previously went through the obstacle course with FSD Beta 10.2 (see here) and so I wanted to see how FSD Beta 10.3.x would react and if there were any changes, positive or negative. One difference between this video and the previous one is that I enter the obstacle course from different ends however based on my testing that does not make a difference. As always if you like seeing how FSD Beta handles our lovely Twin Cities streets, please like & subscribe.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 1st, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Target Center (Downtown Minneapolis). Although this drive is a short one it highlights where FSD Beta 10.3.x currently excels and struggles. Nighttime driving as well as overall handling of unmarked roads continues to be a pain point for FSD Beta 10.3.x. On top of this, I continue to notice more sudden / phantom braking episodes with this current build than I’d like to see. It’s not all bad news though as FSD Beta is definitely more assertive (thanks to the newly added FSD profiles) and the car attempts maneuvers that it would never have attempted with version 10.2. As always if you like seeing how FSD Beta handles our lovely Twin Cities streets, please like & subscribe.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of October 29th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving my friend and I around St. Paul, MN. This was my friend’s first time riding in a Tesla and also his first time seeing a modern driver assistance system in action. Unfortunately, the video cuts out just before arriving at our destination as my Go Pro decided to overheat thanks to WiFi accidentally being left on. With that said, I am planning to do another drive through St. Paul later this week as it is a great proving ground for FSD thanks to its goofy intersections & streets.

This video contains footage recorded on October 28th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). I previously did this route on 2021-10-17 and wanted to see if I noticed any changes between FSD Beta 10.2 and 10.3.x. As there are plenty of straight stretches along this route, I have fast forwarded through them to highlight the turns and places where I added commentary. Last but not least, this video is the first to include my trusty AutoPilot co-pilot, Chiquita :).
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of October 25th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN). Like a similar drive last week, this particular drive takes place during peak rush hour and thus includes plenty of busy city & freeway driving and more. I do this drive 5 days a week so it was time to put FSD Beta 10.2 through its paces and see how it performs.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of October 25th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.3.1 driving me from my Wong’s Gourmet (Fridley, MN) to Home (NE Minneapolis). This is my first drive with Tesla OS 2021.36.5.3 + FSD Beta 10.3.1 which included the same enhancements as 10.3 along with some showstopper bugs that resulted in 10.3 being pulled yesterday. My first impression was that the brake inputs were more abrupt however turns were a bit smoother. The assertive FSD profile also impressed me when it came to quickly making a lane change to avoid getting stuck behind a city road maintenance vehicle.
As I mentioned in my previous video, Tesla has pulled Tesla OS 2021.36.5.2 aka FSD Beta 10.3 due to issues with Automatic Emergency braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warnings caused by sentry mode. My initial drive with 10.3 was flawless however after parking my car for an hour with sentry mode enabled, I encountered all sorts of issues.
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of October 24th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.3 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to South West St. Paul. This is my first drive with Tesla OS 2021.36.5.2 + FSD Beta 10.3 which introduced a number of new features & enhancements. The drive was very smooth and it seemed like Tesla had made several positive changes when it comes to smooth brake & throttle inputs.
With that said, Tesla just pulled this release and reverted everybody with FSD Beta back to Tesla OS 2021.36.5.1.
Tesla OS 2021.36.5.1 release notes: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2021.36.5.2/release-notes
This video contains footage recorded on the morning of October 21st, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Cub Foods (St. Anthony, MN). Even though this is a very short drive, I do it frequently each month so I was happy to see FSD Beta handle it without breaking a sweat. This also gave me a chance to try out my new in-car camera mount, I hope you like it! Just like with the recent drives to Timberwolf CrossFit and Target Savage, I did not have to disengage Autopilot + FSD Beta at all throughout the drive.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of October 18th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me through what I call the Lincoln Street NE Obstacle Course (NE Minneapolis). To provide some background, road crews setup this obstacle course as a way to keep traffic from speeding down what is normally a quiet residential street while a section of Johnson Street NE was renovated. While FSD Beta continues to improve with every release it is important to stop and see just how good it is in its current incarnation. This video footage was pulled from a larger video that can be seen here: https://youtu.be/yF506J6m3dg.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of October 18th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Target (Savage, MN). This particular drive takes place at night and includes a mix of city & freeway driving, a pass down the local obstacle course on Lincoln St NE (Johnson St NE construction detour), and more. Just like with the recent drive to Timberwolf CrossFit, I did not have to disengage Autopilot + FSD Beta at all throughout the drive.
This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of October 18th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Timberwolf CrossFit (St. Paul, MN). This particular drive takes place during peak rush hour and thus includes plenty of busy city & freeway driving, jaywalking pedestrians, kamikaze bicyclists, and more. I do this drive 5 days a week so it was time to put FSD Beta 10.2 through its paces and see how it performs.
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of October 17th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my parents’ house (Coon Rapids, MN). This particular route has a few turns, 4-way stops, and consists of a healthy mix of both city & highway driving. Since I do this drive several times a month, I was eager to see how FSD Beta would perform.
This video contains footage recorded on October 15th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). Due to the fact my home is located in between the two nearest major freeways (I-35 & I-94), I take a non-standard route which I have found to be slightly faster then what navigation recommends. As a result, I enter several waypoints along the way in order to get the car to follow this specific route. In this video you will see several twists and turns, some tight turns, rush hour traffic levels, poor road surfaces, and little to no lane markings making it a great test route for FSD Beta.
This video contains footage recorded on October 14th, 2021 of FSD Beta 10.2 driving me to and from Ideal Diner located in NE Minneapolis. If you haven’t heard of Ideal Diner, they are located off of Central Ave in NE Minneapolis and have some of the best breakfast choices in town. This place has become a favorite for my wife & I and we visit weekly. In case you are interested, I have included a link below to their website and menu so if you haven’t already done so please check them out. Ideal Diner Website & Menu: https://www.idealdiner.com/menu
This video contains footage recorded on October 13th, 2021 of Autopilot + FSD Beta 10.2 driving me from work (Edina, MN) to home (NE Minneapolis). The recorded drive took place around 5:30PM so right in the middle of rush hour.
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 was selected based on having a calculated Tesla Safety Score of 100. This video contains footage of my very first drive with FSD Beta 10.2 recorded right after installing Tesla OS 2021.32.25 earlier in the morning.
