In the market of electric vehicles there has been lots of buzz about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving. Tesla is working hard on the development but the data from crowdsourced shoes that improve on which Tesla is working are much more limited than CEO Elon Musk told us.
Tesla is still resisting to release the data related to its Full-Self-Driving development. On the other hand Musk has created a hype on Tesla’s latest Full-Self-Driving software updates 12.4 and 12.5.
Musk has said for 12.4 that it will come without a steering wheel nag it will be able to drive “5 to 10x more miles per intervention”. But due to some internal issues and limited external testing Tesla has decided no to do a wide-release of FSD 12.4.
Currently the best data regarding FSD we have is crowdsourced. Now Tesla has rolled out FSD v12.5 data but it is still very limited. Nonetheless, and despite Tesla’s resistance to releasing official data, Musk has commented on the crowdsource data, which many Tesla fans are already framing as positive.
The CEO recently mentioned “doubling average miles between interventions” with version 12.5 this month, contrasting with a 5 to 10x increase discussed for version 12.4 last month.
The data referenced comes from Tesla FSD Tracker, which, while valuable, remains limited. It encompasses a total of 150,000 miles compared to the 1.6 billion miles of data Tesla claims to possess about FSD.
Following the release of version 12, the most comprehensive data available is for version 12.3.6, the update that reached the wider fleet.
A screenshot of the data shows that despite its value, it only covers 24,000 miles. This data indicates an average of 28 miles between disengagements and 181 miles between “critical disengagements,” where drivers intervene due to safety concerns.
It’s important to note that disengagements sometimes occur out of frustration or discomfort rather than a safety necessity.
The release of FSD 12.4 was quite limited, resulting in scarce data availability.
Regarding version 12.5, some Tesla enthusiasts have already started praising it, but the data remains extremely limited, with only 1,591 miles reported at the time of publishing.
This version shows an average of 44 miles between disengagements and 331 miles between critical disengagements.
For comparison, Waymo, which operates within a geo-fenced system, averages 95,000 miles between interventions.
