Tesla Model 3 Autopilot Journey: Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance system has been the subject of ongoing debates online. Recently, a Tesla Model 3 owner in the United States decided to test its real-world capabilities by undertaking a cross-country journey using the system.
American driver David Moss started his trip from California and completed it in South Carolina, covering approximately 4,300 km. To put this into perspective, the distance is comparable to traveling from Moscow to Krasnoyarsk. The journey took two days and 20 hours, with the Tesla’s odometer recording the full distance.
Interestingly, Moss did not actively drive the car for most of the journey. Instead, he relied on Tesla’s FSD (Supervised Driving) system, mainly monitoring its performance. However, it is important to note that Tesla’s Autopilot is not classified as a fully autonomous driving system and still requires the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control at any time.
This trip is part of a broader series of supervised FSD drives conducted by Moss, which together total around 19,300 km (12,500 miles). His experience highlights both the potential and the current limitations of advanced driver assistance systems. A short video report of the journey, along with his impressions, has also been shared online.
