Tesla has recently highlighted various Full Self-Driving (FSD) experiences from customers using the v12 software, as shared in a mega-thread on its platform X this week. The thread includes several videos demonstrating the capabilities of FSD in handling different edge cases on the road.
In a post on Tuesday, the official Tesla X account shared an article featuring multiple FSD videos from customers, showcasing how the vehicles handled various scenarios. The drivers in the videos are utilizing either FSD Supervised v12.3.4 or v12.3.6, with Tesla specifically noting the situations addressed by the semi-automated driving system in each video.

The article, essentially a compilation of seven videos, demonstrates different traffic situations where FSD performed admirably, highlighting positive encounters customers have had with the neural net-based system.
While Tesla’s advertising and social media divisions have faced recent layoffs, the company continues to share select ads across social platforms. Last year and early this year, Tesla increasingly utilized social media, particularly X, for advertising. Shareholders had been advocating for increased advertising to dispel misconceptions about electric vehicles (EVs).
Tesla executives had also been engaging directly with fans and shareholders on social media, though some executives have departed since. The company has been particularly focused on FSD, offering free one-month trials of the software and implementing mandatory demos of the system with vehicle purchases, ahead of the unveiling of a future robotaxi platform in August.
Additionally, Tesla appears to be gearing up to launch FSD in China and potentially other markets in the coming months, having received tentative approval in April. Wording found in a Tesla customer vehicle in China suggests that FSD could be introduced to the country sooner rather than later.
FSD 12.3.6 vs road works.
This was quite impressive!
Going up this hill, there were road works causing my lane to be closed. Workers were there with signs indicating when we could move.
Without hesitation, FSD put the indicator on and went around onto the other side, cleared the… pic.twitter.com/uazXrd8diN— Darryn Appleton (@DrTeslaFSD) May 16, 2024
How many pedestrians can FSD track simultaneously?
All of them.LA is nothing like Manhattan but we have this little area of town that gets super busy with tourists and a great test for FSD at low speed negotiation around pedestrians and traffic. The key for success is to always… pic.twitter.com/ASWWA0T3Ru

Navigating through heavy traffic in my Tesla Model X with FSD (Supervised) v12.3.4 today, my car showed impeccable manners, stopping to let a fellow driver pass. A true example of how technology can enhance road etiquette! pic.twitter.com/0iQFbg5iQc

Nothing to see here.
Just a robot car making a left at a light and calmly driving over a double yellow line avoiding a garbage truck.
No other car you can buy is capable of anything close to this.
