FSD V13.2.1, WOW. It felt like I was controlling the car w/my mind. It did everything I wanted it to the way I wanted it to... I don't know how to describe it other than I think I'm done w/human driving. I was already having FSD do 80-90% of my drives before on V12.5, this feels like it closed the remaining gap. Last year was only about 30% of my drives on V11, I think the progression is important to describe. With V13.2.1 you feel the reduced latency and improved performance by more human-like acceleration, slowing down, merges, turns - except it's perfect every time and humans are not perfect. I'm 3 drives in, more testing to do, I'm sure there are edge cases to encounter. But this goes beyond any implicit bias, it's meaningfully better and we know there are more enhancements and features on the way... Bravo @Tesla_AI team and I can't wait for more to be able to try it themselves.

Worth mentioning โ€” I know of no other example in the world of a product autonomously moving ITSELF into distribution. Yes there are industrial robots that move boxes but those are capital depreciated assets, not the product itself! @Tesla_ai has entered the factory. Right now itโ€™s on wheels, soon in Optimus form, you can see the logical transition. From here it seems as if they would extend this to the vehicles driving themselves from Tesla points of distribution to customers. Then looking inward to the factory, adding more product autonomy movement between stations. The implications of waking the A/I computer in-vehicle and having it insert itself in manufacturing process time reduction are mind-bending. Shall we start talking about the in-vehicle A/I computer or the infotainment GPU exchanging parametric mfg data w/Optimus once Optimus is on the Tesla mfg lines and vice versa? Mfg defect prevention and/or real-time correction could occur. This is all legit possible now. Iโ€™m gonna stop here. ๐Ÿคฏ
