Epic 280 Mile FSD 14.3.2 Road Trip from NJ to MA with Zero Interventions

[carsly]

Took a sight-filled 280 miles Cybertruck FSD 14.3.2 voyage from Central NJ up to Boston MA this past weekend. No, I'm not David Moss
but I thought about staying in a Holiday Inn Express.

If you haven't tried FSD Supervised recently, you're really missing out on one of the greatest technical achievements of the last 30 years. It's like having your own personal train. As for Cybertruck highway range, easily 300+ miles on All Terrains with my two year-old truck.

I'm lucky if I can make it to the end of my block with no interventions. Good to hear you're still getting 300 mi.

I was pleasantly surprised at the highway range. My best efficiency runs are when it's 90+ degrees out so starting in the low 60's wasn't ideal but the truck would easily have made the entire 280+ miles non-stop. Was just me and my pesky bladder that necessitated a pit stop so figured I might as well charge and catch up on emails and messages while I was at it. Efficiency after Supercharging was better than 3 mi/kwh with almost all highway as well.

Having the truck pull itself into a Supercharger stall was a new one for me. It picked a stall right in the middle of the row, closest to the charging cabinets. I wonder if it knows something we don't?

Clearly, you should move

I doubt it. I've had FSD pull me into an empty SC station and take the only stall that wasn't working

I am having to intervene much more than with 14.2.2.5 and am amazed that anyone can use the current FSD w/o interventions for 300 miles.

Not sure what to tell you, even versions before 14.2 were solid for me for primarily highway driving including taking interchanges and entering parking lots along with traffic lights/stop sign intersections.

I only use FSD for longer travel days, but per the truck I'm at ~1,000 miles on FSD vs. 1,500 total miles travelled since 14.2 launched. That seems about right.

I don't think all the CT'S interpret the the software the same way. Most CTs (according to this site) hug the left line in the road. Some, including my CT, hug the right lane... And the storm drains that are never level with the rest of the road! Some have the same effect as a purple, the rattle my eyes in my head. Even when pulling into a left turn lane it hugs the right side of the lane where people are flying by inches from my right mirror.
I don't get it.

My truck just informed me that I have been. Driving 91% on FSD since 14.3

Early FSD on the Cybertruck was notoriously "lane-centering averse" lol, but I've not had that issue in a very long time. I would agree that it sometimes drives closer to vehicles/objects than I would, but the computer has better reflexes

I roll in Standard mode. Mad Max is too stressful for me and chill is a bit too sedate. In earlier builds it would leisurely cruise below the speed limit forcing me to always be nudging it up with the accelerator. Standard was literally hands-free, pedals-free.

I would like a right-leg dead pedal though for these FSD-only trips.

Yup did that last week, pulled into a SC and the warning popped up "Stall 2C Is Down"
Guess which one the CT pulled into, out of about 10 open ones lol

Vin- thanks for the real world highway FSD range and overall experience. The only hesitation I've had on purchasing AWD Premium (325 miles) using core wheels has been the real world range for a 250 mile one way work commute. I don't prefer to stop for 5-15 minutes and spend time and extra money. I charge overnight in a garage at a home in Missouri and Mississippi to prevent the need of super charging. Are you saying you would have easily driven 280 miles without charging in those temperatures and speeds? I have previously owned a 22 MY LR (333) and 23 X LR (355) and neither would consistently make the 250 miles going the speed limit ranges of 55mph to 70mph for entire commute. When winter arrives and temperatures drop below 40 then those Teslas would lose at least 100 miles of range per commute. Currently driving a 23 R1T with 369 miles at 100% and I arrive with 40-60 miles remaining which is perfect

Great question. I would have easily completed my 280 mile journey with about 10% battery to spare (started at 100%) at highway speeds equating to 310-320 miles of real-world range on all terrains without wheel covers. On core wheels with wheel covers I’d guesstimate you could add at least 20 miles so 330-340 real-world highway miles.

I have a 2025 R1S dual large EPA rated for 330 miles but on this same trip would likely make 250-270 miles so could not complete without charging. Good thing you have the max pack.

Caveat is if you travel in Texas, Nebraska or a place where “highway speeds” = 85mph you’ll take quite a range hit. As you can see in the video, I averaged 7mph above posted speeds so wasn’t going slow to extend range at all.

Very encouraging feedback. I really appreciate it. If they still allowed the 24hr demos I would be able to test out from Memphis dealer but unfortunately only 30 minutes. I work with spine surgeons all day so having the ability to FSD and relax on the commute would be a game changer. Half of the commute would be 55mph-65mph on Hwys with minimal lights and the last 100 miles would be I-55 going 70mph. Sounds like the only concern would be December-March with winter temperatures and winds. Would eventually switch to BFG KO3 once the Pirellis are unsafe. So FSD on standard or conservative and I would likely arrive with 30-50 miles which would give me some miles for errands after work prior to charging overnight. How's phantom draining and braking with the CT? It was common with my prior Teslas
