Contributor He is also disappointed that “they haven’t given us autopilot yet. That’s basic tech in many new cars now.” He’s right about that. It’s standard on all other Tesla vehicles. And other legacy automakers offer similar technology — often referred to as “lane centering” — that is roughly equivalent to Autopilot. But FSD is different. FSD is next level. I recently tested FSD 12.5 on two Teslas, a Model 3 with the Dawn Project, where I was the passenger, and a Model Y, which I test drove by myself. FSD aspires to be fully autonomous not unlike Waymo, an autonomous geofenced driverless taxi (which I’ve also used in Los Angeles). That is, FSD aspires to drive the car without driver intervention. Although FSD is very impressive, full driverless autonomy is currently not possible — based on my experience. And getting FSD to work on the Cybertruck has presented special challenges. The CT has unique requirements because of its large wedge-shaped stainless steel design. The CT also has different sensor configurations compared to other Tesla vehicles. The upshot is the FSD software needs to be adapted to work with the CT’s odd design. Morgan Stanley in a research note this month said that “heading into Tesla’s ‘10/10’ robotaxi event we are, frankly, struggling to see how the day can live up to investors' high expectations. Other than demonstrating FSD v12.5 and offering rides in a Gen 1 ‘Cybercab’ what else is in store? Perhaps there will be a detailed ‘total addressable market’ analysis showing tens of trillions of passenger vehicle miles and tens of trillions of $ of potential recurrent revenue (by 2050).”
