I had my Tesla model S drive me home the other day with FSD, and it’s fucking wild. Changes lanes to avoid slow traffic, stops at red lights and stop signs, hits the blinkers and turns for you.

| Tesla Model S with FSD can drive itself, change lanes to avoid slow traffic, stop at red lights and stop signs, and use blinkers and turn automatically. | rejected | https://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/2025/trims/ | Tesla's so-called Full Self-Driving Capability option is available on the Model S. It upgrades Autopilot with navigation-following and automatic lane changes, a semi-automated parking system and Dumb Summon, which will drive the vehicle to your chosen location. Tesla promises this feature will support fully automated driving, but so far the implementation date of this functionality is uncertain. |
🤖 Conclusion [45/100]: The statement exaggerates the current capabilities of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. While Tesla's FSD beta can change lanes, stop at traffic lights and stop signs, and use blinkers for turns, it does not offer full autonomous driving as described ('drive me home'). All FSD features require active driver supervision and hands on the wheel by law. The Edmunds source emphasizes that FSD is not fully automated; the technology is advanced driver-assist (Level 2), not truly self-driving (Level 4 or 5). As of June 2024, no Tesla legally allows the driver to disengage and let the car drive itself unsupervised. Therefore, the statement is somewhat true about car features but misleading in implying it is fully self-driving without supervision.
