683 miles on Day 1 with FSD V14.2. Mostly amazeballs, but here are the issues I experienced: - Standard mode honors the speed limit to a much greater extent (yay), but bad mapping data makes this very annoying when the car registers the wrong speed limit (e.g., 25 in a 70). It

Dear @HiltonHotels, I am a Diamond member. While I'm grateful for your efforts to expand EV charging, the strategy of allowing each hotel to choose a charging provider and completely outsource the implementation leads to horrible customer experiences. Let's look at how it sucks,

V14 failed the wife test today. She enjoyed V13, but V14 is too skittish and erratic at this time. It needs lots of refinement to match the comfort of V13. Brake stabs, lack of confidence at intersections, lane change problems, lots of jerk, false detection of debris. @Tesla_AI

FSD actually parked at the chargers, even though they were not yet live or listed on the car's MCU.

I have some things to say about the need for FSD to learn from real-world experiences.

FSD quits. No warning. Nothing unusual. It just stops working. These crashes significantly reduce my enjoyment of FSD. @Tesla_AI @aelluswamy

FSD parks right at the pin. How cool is that!

Commentary on why I need the car to park in handicapped spots, especially at V4 superchargers. The @TeslaCharging team does such a great job with handicapped dispensers at V4 sites; it is a shame FSD can't help me use them (yet). @tesla_na

Then the real failure happens a few seconds later. The road structure changed due to construction, and FSD couldn't learn from the previous day's failure, so I had to disengage again. Also had to intervene at the traffic light. The Fleet needs to learn dynamically. @Tesla_AI

But all is not perfect in FSD land just yet. Here, FSD V14.1.3 makes an odd decision to get back into the right lane when the best decision was to stay in the left lane. Not a safety issue, but not something a human who has ever driven this road would do.

FSD V14 succeeds where V13.2.9 failed the previous day. V14 appears to detect lane closures much sooner than V14. It handled this one better than humans did and did not get trapped in the left lane, as V13 did the day before.

This is a V14 OMG moment. The Memorial Bridge exchange from Rt 27 to the GW Parkway northbound is a dangerous and confusing mess. V14 absolutely nails it. The blind merge onto GW Parkway was flawless and superhuman. @Tesla_AI

Exiting I-395 to go around the Pentagon, V14 initially feels inelegant as it enters the exit lane, but then nails the lane split, which was probably because a slower car was in front of me. This is a perfect example of where FSD needs to think ahead and pick the best lane early.

I immediately encounter the brake stabbing around a VRU, but then it elegantly navigates around a parking box truck.

My first drive on #FSD V14.1.3 experienced many edge cases, including an FSD computer crash and a required disengagement. I've extracted key moments and will link them in this thread. The full video is linked at the end. Here we leave the parking garage. c @chazman

.@Wawa and @TeslaCharging, you need some signs directing Tesla owners arriving at Hope Mills, NC to the back-in dispensers. These four pull-through stalls have literally had Teslas lined up. A vehicle with a trailer would be screwed. The back-in stalls are hidden by the building.

I don't know why X is scunching my videos to 4x3, that is not how they are encoded. YouTube displays correctly. Here is the fail video. https://t.co/zvurkMVcwS
