As a result, several experienced Tesla owners have shared positive impressions online. For instance, one longtime user, @BLKMDL3, described his 10-hour test by saying there was “zero lane change hesitation” and “extremely refined” lane selections, even in dark canyon drives. He also highlighted the excellent parking accuracy in tough spots like ticket booths.
However, this praise around FSD v14.2.2 isn’t limited to Tesla owners. Indeed, even competitors are impressed. Xpeng (XPEV) CEO He Xiaopeng recently said that FSD has made major strides and is now a “near-Level 4” experience. Moreover, he thinks that Tesla’s approach of using the same software and hardware for private vehicles and robotaxis is the right way to go.
