Our son bought a Tesla when they first came out. He upgrades the software. Right now he can’t totally let it drive itself but it mostly does. Very cool. Very wonderful ride.

FSD 14.3.3 can and will let you go hands free as long as it can see your eyes looking out the front windshield via the IR cams. It also monitors your hands if you pick up your phone it will strike you for it. To many and FSD time out for bad behavior happens. Polarized lenses block the IR specifically polycarbonate lens you will get the you must have at least one hand on the wheel prompt then. This is the life hack there are ways to trick the wheel sensors plural it’s not only servo motion but impedance or some other electrical property since gloves will make it think your hands are off it unless you shake the wheel every 30-45 seconds like little lane following directions. Used to be you could use a half full water bottle to fool the torque sensors not any more. The other hack is the scroll wheel mod that will automatically scroll the wheel randomly up and down to make the software think you are using it the old ones just moved up or down once every 45 sec or so again Tesla heard about it and the arms race continues random scroll works and so does a grounding clip to the wheel and you completing the impedance circuit to the seat most likely. With the mods and glasses yeah you most certainly can go fully hands free FSD was designed to do so only bureaucrats and lawyers keep it L2+ obviously 14.3.3 is L4 capable with the current hardware set it’s 100% lawyers in office and ambulance chasers holding up progress. F THEM

“can’t stop the signal Mal”

My Model 3 will go door to door to Austin or Shreveport a $50 mod from Alibaba and a grounding wire shut up the attention nags. If they up the attention nags the hacker’s will find a way around them again. Give us the L4 we demand and tell the lawyers to pound sand.

What do you call a 1000 dead lawyer’s? Rookie numbers and not even a good start.
