Was riding an unsupervised ride today and caught this! Was super surprised why it was turning around

Amazing. My HW3 stopped in the middle of an intersection and had me take over to get it through it the other day.

Things that never happened for $500 Alex

Odd_Establishment678 2026-02-27 22:34

It does happen. Maybe you haven’t experienced it first-hand, but it does.

HW3 is pretty bad. I’m not sure why Tesla owners are so oblivious to criticism and the short comings of Teslas softwares. HW3 is miles behind HW4. My HW3 MY stutters when turning or waits extremely long to turn. Annoying.

Few-Necessary6481 2026-02-27 22:46

Same, sometimes im sitting there and im like god go and i gotta take control to go myself fast enough to pass a light or whatever the situation may be. Hw3 should be 50$/month for fsd low key cause its like such a pussy sometimes and can't make a fast decision and just hesitates and waits forever sometimes regardless on chill standard or rush mode

Cool. But why turn around and not just move over and let the truck pass?

It’s like “not this construction zone shit again”

HW3 leaves a lot to be desired. I have to feather the pedal 80% of the time.

_______o-o_______ 2026-02-27 23:06

My Model 3 with HW3 doesn't behave that way, and it's pretty good nearly all of the time. I don't prefer some of its route choices, but that's a separate issue.

disasterless 2026-02-27 23:07

This is not hard to believe at all. I'm guessing you've never used HW3?

FLawless______ 2026-02-27 23:08

+1 i have both perma fsd hw3 and subbed hw4 cars; hw3 let me down yesterday making a left with a car incoming and decided to just stop for a tbone after it went 50%, took over quickly. It’s just more indecisive and tends to half commit. Hw4 has been nearly flawless and routinely handles situations i dont think it can. It’s screw ups are more annoying than critical

It didn't turn around because of the truck, it probably thought the trailer was blocking the road. The truck was too far back when it stopped and the brief moment it could have seen it, there's no way to tell it could have been an obstruction let alone why would it think it is an obstruction vs vehicle traffic? The truck isn't on the map either. Also why wouldn't it pull to the side if it thought both cars couldn't fit vs changing its entire route?

Simply amazing 😄 it’s getting better every day in small ways, soon it will have better judgement than 99% of drivers.

PugMaster007 2026-02-27 23:24

WOW. Very nice. Thank you for sharing!

Stocksinmypants 2026-02-27 23:26

My HW4 did that yesterday. I was shocked. Prob 20k of FSD and never had that happen

lamgineer 2026-02-27 23:35

Crazy anyone wants to pay 3 times more for inferior service and vehicle.

Apart_Bear_5103 2026-02-27 23:35

In what world is this…”very nice?”

Magomedx0 2026-02-27 23:46

Additionally ignoring the stop sign while driving reverse out

goldencrisp 2026-02-28 00:12

This one, Earth. We probably both know several people that would have not seen that truck before they got to the trailer.

If you believe that that robot saw that truck then I got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale. The robot saw the trailer before the road curves and assumed that the road was blocked when in all actuality it wasn’t so it took the passenger well out of the way to get home.

ChunkyThePotato 2026-02-28 00:59

Waymo costs 4x more for the same service. (And it's ugly.)

goldencrisp 2026-02-28 01:12

If it’s that short sighted then how would it work on the highway? They have an extensive field of view for several hundred feet.

globesdustbin 2026-02-28 01:25

Great share. Where was this?

jesser722 2026-02-28 01:27

Austin Texas south of the river!

chupippomink 2026-02-28 01:40

It's not short-sighted. But there's a big difference between driving straight on a highway and driving on a curvy city road with vehicles on both sides. There is literally cars in the way blocking the view of the truck way down the road.

chupippomink 2026-02-28 01:41

Because it didn't see the truck. It definitely thought it couldn't get through because of that trailer.

Apart_Bear_5103 2026-02-28 02:04

It can’t see through houses lol

drahgon 2026-02-28 02:20

I know about y'all but that seems pretty sentient to me

ChickenFlavoredCake 2026-02-28 02:20

It's not a cybercab. Why so little knowledge yet so much opinion and rage?

ChunkyThePotato 2026-02-28 02:25

This is a red Model Y.

goldencrisp 2026-02-28 02:57

You can literally see the truck coming down the hill in the video as soon as it turns onto that road. That trailer is far enough to the side where the car would go around no problem. Miss me with your uniformed pompous takes.

ThatFeelingIsBliss88 2026-02-28 03:33

Not really. It did a u turn because of a truck? That makes no sense

dantodd 2026-02-28 03:39

Most likely. I live on a street that can only pass one car in many places and my daily drives usually include similar. I can confirm that FSD absolutely pulls to the side to let people pass and doesn't turn around just for that. It might backup to find a place to pull over occasionally but I've never had it back so the way it before

TheGrasshopper92 2026-02-28 09:27

This is some high level taxi driver shit

epradox 2026-02-28 18:53

Idk I’ve seen it do some wild things like slam on the brakes at a green light and people around honked but then a few seconds later out of the corner came an ambulance flying with its lights and siren that no one else saw or heard. I was wildly impressed and was the first time I realized it could react faster than me

VergeSolitude1 2026-02-28 22:01

I hate to be the one to break this to you but you may be color blind if you can not see this car is red.

401kdaytrade 2026-03-01 01:33

I think you're possibly insane. You don't see the truck at all until it backs up behind the white truck. The Tesla isn't magic I can assure you

SeveralOrchid4334 2026-03-04 03:23

nice i wonder how it compares to waymo
