> A Washington state Tesla owner rode his way into the record books after completing a fully autonomous coast-to-coast drive across the United States, which he detailed in a viral X thread.

another entry in the long category of "news article that's just summarizing a Twitter post"

from the thread itself [0] the owner claims "absolutely 0 disengagements of any kind even for all parking including at Tesla Superchargers"

I'd like to see some actual evidence for that claim (such as internal dashcam video) rather than blindly accepting it at face value, as the NY Post has done here.

You can just go to Tesla and drive fsd for free for a day. Very easy to gather evidence your self.

Granted I watched the actual interview with the “driver” (supervisor) and there was some gambling of disengagement scores. Since it doesn’t handle parking lots perfectly the trick to re-park (in this case so he can charge) is to drop the pin exactly where you want and start the drive again.


From Andrej Karparthy...

"The first 100% autonomous coast-to-coast drive on Tesla FSD V14.2! 2 days 20 hours, 2732 miles, zero interventions.

This one is special because the coast-to-coast drive was a major goal for the autopilot team from the start. A lot of hours were spent in marathon clip review sessions late into the night looking over interventions as we attempted legs of the drive over time - triaging, categorizing, planning out all the projects to close the gap and bring the number of interventions to zero.

Amazing to see the system actually get there and huge congrats to the team!"


anecdotal, no evidence of number of disengagements or interventions, or light/weather conditions


Lol NYP stumping for Elon
