It's very simple - when I was a new driver, I was forbidden by my parents from using a local mountain road instead of a faster and safer highway going that way. I used it anyway, of course, driving like it were a closed rallye course and I an experienced race driver, showing off my driving skills to my cheering and equally clueless friends. My parents knew what they were doing. In one corner the car oversteered, hit the inside curb, I spun out and found myself 180deg to incoming traffic with two flat wheels. Luckily that's all that happened because nobody hit me, and has it happened elsewhere I could have flown off a cliff Tesla can better control its kids. No chance of leaving the perimeter before parent Tesla feels sure enough it's OK to do so

Dillon, thank you for not rehashing the earning call to death. There are others that thrive on dissecting and exhaustively extrapolating details in different directions. And then make more videos that just remash the same info.

9:35 Tesla initial approach to 'geo-fencing' can be to limit robotaxis to locations where there are high FSD mileage and also low level of FSD intervention rate at the same time. More and more 'geo-fenced' locations can be added later as the FSD mileage increases while intervention rate decreases for these locations. In fact, various locations can be coloured green, orange and red to indicate the relative maturity of the Tesla FSD in these locations.

In 20 years the phrase "asleep at the wheel" to young people will be like the save button icon, or the phrase "hang up the phone" to today's young people.

"Overfitting" is a needed concept, The cars seem to be optimized for the idyllic settings of southern California frequented by Whole Mars rather than the dog-eat-dog, kill or be killed (metaphorically) driving of the northeast, such as I 295 between Philly and Trenton, NJ. Bumper to bumper at 80 mph for what is essentially an all day rush hour,, one hardly notices the numerous informal roadside shrines in memory of commuters who are no longer with us. I use FSD like cruise control, for long boring stretches, but I find monitoring more stressful than driving my in heavy, aggressive traffic.
@AlexRicketson
I'm very excited about nueral nets specialized for local areas. People want to feel like they're being driven by an experienced taxi driver who is an expert on the city, not a driver who has never been to the city and is winging it as they go. A competent driver in a familiar environment will always beat a competent driver in an unfamiliar environment. Every city has quirks and weird scenarios. Having deep knowledge of your city/route allows you to plan ahead so you can be in the right lane at the right time to make turns. Generalized nueral nets will always be needed to handle unexpected construction, road changes, etc. but it shouldn't be a substitute for deep knowledge.
@andywurst4873
You're so right Dillon, you only get one chance to make a good first impression. The beginning of autonomous driving is something to be celebrated. Looking forward for the real thing.
@JohnVegas
Your vids are the best. Thank you.
@heatherepstein2877
Great job as always Dillon!🙏
@smackjack
This is a great video, and a much needed reminder that a slow, safe rollout of FSD will actually be to the benefit of both TSLA and the consumer. Nice work
@isthatatesla
Thanks for the DL !
@lindseyhatfield9017
Geo-Fencing in this case may be purely for the roll out period. Limiting the Cybercabs area of operation while under review by districts. this would enable Tesla to allow fully automated cars for s=zones, and slowly increase the zones and areas.

@LivingWithDragon
The analyst questions really need to improve. They mostly just prove how ignorant most of them are about what is actually going on at Tesla.
@parkdcp
The biggest thing that I see is the pick up and drop off locations. Yesterday I went to Home Depot and FSD stopped in the far lane of a major 4 lane street and switched to park like I was going to get out there! I looked at the map and it showed the entrance drive to the parking lot. Once I navigated into the parking lot, FSD was able to maneuver to a parking space.
@glennlym3592
Dillon, I live in downtown San Francisco and use a 2025 Model Y (not Highland however). I have the latest FSD supervised to try out. I have stopped using it as it makes a lot of mistakes driving around the inner parts of SF where I live. Eg. Blocks here are small. But FSD assumes longer blocks so it turns into a left turn lane too early, often at an intersection one block before the designed turn. Which then causes me to disengage. EG: on freeways that weave through SF itself, it puts the car into going around cars ahead that are slow that then requires cutting across lanes quickly to make required freeway off ramps which makes me and adjacent drivers pissed. Eg: I am on freeways a driver who pays attention to Pack behavior and avoids being at the back and middle of packs. FSD is oblivious to packs. Regarding my first 2 examples, FSD will have to be tweaked when robotaxi service comes to San Francisco.
@CC-yr2nx
Great video! For the localised parameters I think it`s to do with location specific regulations. Here in Montreal, it's not allowed to turn right on a red light. It's not allowed anywhere on the island and there are no signs for it. The same on the green arrows... You are only able to follow the arrows... so if an arrow says to go straight you cannot turn... Lots of other rules like that. You leave the island, and it's the same rules as anywhere else in NA. I have been using FSD since December and if fails every time on this...I am sending them the data!
@guusvandermeulen7210
Localization is essential. Driver styles and rules are different in different locations. Even in a small country like the Netherlands there are huge differences. In Amsterdam a pedestrian must put a foot on the crosswalk to signal they want to cross. And then wait until a car stops before crossing. Not doing this sequence will get you in an accident. In Heerlen approaching a crosswalk will stop the cars. Not stopping your car when a person is approaching a crosswalk and is within 2 meters of the road, is considered very rude and irresponsible driving.
@dscarty
It seems to me the biggest bang for the buck change that could be made to the 3 or Y would be smaller batteries. Of course that would mean less range & more of a “city car”.
