Guy that built Tesla FSD is blown away by it!
Added 2025-11-13 15:54:52 +0000 UTCFormer Director of AI at Tesla Andrej Karpathy picked up his new Model X and reviews Tesla V13.2.9 with HW4
Elon says wait till he tries V14
“Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used to on HW3 (my previous car) and eons ahead of the version I remember driving up highway 280 on my first day at Tesla ~9 years ago, where I had to intervene every time the road mildly curved or sloped. (note this is v13, my car hasn't been offered the latest v14 yet)
On the highway, I felt like a passenger in some super high tech Maglev train pod - the car is locked in the center of the lane while I'm looking out from Model X's higher vantage point and its panoramic front window, listening to the (incredible) sound system, or chatting with Grok. On city streets, the car casually handled a number of tricky scenarios that I remember losing sleep over just a few years ago. It negotiated incoming cars in tight lanes, it gracefully went around construction and temporarily in-lane stationary cars, it correctly timed tricky left turns with incoming traffic from both sides, it gracefully gave way to the car that went out of order in the 4-way stop sign, it found a way to squeeze into a bumper to bumper traffic to make its turn, it overtook the bus that was loading passengers but still stopped for the stop sign that was blocked by the bus, and at the end of the route it circled around a parking lot, found a spot and... parked. Basically a flawless drive.”

Just have to get it to stop breaking for blowing leaves in the road.

2025-11-14 03:24:35 +0000 UTCElon is absolutely right, I got 14.1.7 last night and took it out in heavy rain and major construction zone today . Honestly, it’s on a whole different level now.

2025-11-13 21:58:13 +0000 UTCTotally agree, I am much less confident with 14 than 13. I also noticed glitches with environment visualization when going from a parking to pulling out. Hopefully we get some patches soon. I have a HW4 Model Y

2025-11-13 20:31:19 +0000 UTC14 is really impressive most of the time, but then it does some weird, unexpected things occasionally. It’s nagging more than 13 and brake stabs a lot which is disappointing. Def not perfect yet.

2025-11-13 20:00:24 +0000 UTCthis is macro driven and if NASDAQ tanks 3% TSLA tanks 6%

2025-11-13 18:24:10 +0000 UTCI just saw that Cathie Wood dumped 30mil of TSLA. Is that our buy signal or is it going lower???
