Statistics time: as of September 15 21:00 (Beijing time)
Summary The past 24 hours focused on: FSD, Robotaxi and Cybercab, analyst commentary, and other important updates.
Key developments
FSD, Robotaxi and Cybercab: Tesla has pushed FSD v14.2 Lite to a large number of older Tesla models equipped with Hardware 3 computers, after several days of initial testing and data analysis. The article explains that FSD v14.2 Lite is the third FSD v14 version for older HW3 cars that cannot handle the HW4 version of FSD; previously, HW3 owners had been stuck on a sub-version of FSD v12 for over a year.｜Details
Analyst commentary: A passenger posted on r/Austin saying that a trip from 99 Ranch Market in north Austin to The Domain, which normally takes about 10 minutes via the highway, was actually routed far south toward East Austin, taking 70 minutes in total. The passenger said the fare was about 20 dollars, roughly in line with market rates; when ordering through the Tesla app, only the estimated price is shown, not the estimated time.｜Details
FSD, Robotaxi and Cybercab: A blogger said a Tesla Cybercab trapped them in the vehicle for an hour. The blogger said the Cybercab had a limitation that dragged out what was originally a short trip.｜Details
Analyst commentary: Musk reposted a post by wintonARK, which originally said California is the only state in the country that prohibits insurance companies from pricing based on how people actually drive. The original post said that in Tesla's largest U.S. market, California prevents Tesla from offering heavy FSD users the insurance discount their lower risk deserves.｜Details
Analyst commentary: Today's analyst commentary: Analysts focus on FSD scaling; analysts update Tesla rating/price target.
Other important updates: This evaluation has the Agent perform real tasks such as booking hotels, choosing restaurants, buying things, replying to emails, and connecting to third-party services, scoring based on actual completion, with publicly fixed tasks for each scoring dimension, and points only given when there is a real run record.
