Five things still keeping Tesla FSD 'Supervised', from an owner who drives 76% of his miles on FSD v14
A Teslarati editor uses FSD (Supervised) for almost three quarters of his driving, but still steps in for speed limits, parking, navigation, highway behavior and rough roads.
Joey Klender, an editor at Teslarati, says he has used FSD (Supervised) for about 76% of his miles since FSD v14 arrived, roughly a year ago. The system even saved him from an accident. Still, he has listed the five problems that keep making him intervene on the current version, v14.3.10.
He splits interventions into "soft" ones, where he corrects something without disengaging FSD (for example, signalling a lane change himself), and "hard" ones, where he takes over completely.
1. Speed limits
In the Hurry profile, the car often travels at 52–55 mph in a 45 mph zone. When the limit drops to 35 mph, FSD is slow to react. The biggest problem is school zones with a 15 mph limit: even in the slowest profile, Sloth, the car doesn't slow down enough. That is always a "hard" intervention.
2. Where it parks
The parking manoeuvre itself is much better than a year ago. The problem is choosing the spot: FSD pulled in next to a badly parked car, even though spots with room around them were free. There is also no option to pick a space with a charger, for example at a grocery store.
3. Navigation
Navigation still sends him towards an illegal left turn out of his neighbourhood. Preferred Routes, which came with the Summer Update, has only fixed some of these cases.
4. Odd highway behaviour
FSD is at its best on the highway, but it sometimes brakes hard and moves to the slow lane more than a mile before the exit instead of finishing a pass. On Hurry, it also camps in the left lane, which is illegal in Pennsylvania, where he lives.
5. Potholes and bumps
FSD takes big bumps and "ramp-like" intersections too fast and rarely recognises potholes, usually only when the car in front swerves around them. Tesla engineer Phil Duan wrote on October 1 that improvements for potholes and navigation are coming.
In Europe, FSD (Supervised) is still waiting for a vote in Brussels: the TCMV committee discussed the file again on October 6, without a vote. What it would mean for Romania is in our guide to FSD in Europe.
