Tesla full self drive in TJ???
Has anyone here tried this? It sounds terrifying! What a true test for the tech!! Oh, asking for a friend, of course!

Good luck!
I own one. It's a great vehicle. But the FSD is overhyped and what a judge would call "illegal marketing". It's ok on the freeway, but I don't like
to supervise my "full self driving" vehicle.

Mexicali would also be a challenge
Even with a fresh update on my Garmin GPS, there is almost always new detours or re-directed traffic since the last time I drove through there!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Oh come on Ateo! Take one for the team!! Just record a 5 minute video near the border area (north bound) with FSD! What could go wrong? Actually I`m
impressed after watching a video of going through Manhattan, New York City. I`ll be getting a model Y soon, but I`ll still drive my beater Honda thru
TJ!! Ha ha!

MY FSD just expired again (free trial). If it comes back ck I'll make a video and show you how it goes.
It's getting better but it still requires more brain power from me than if I just drive the darn thing.
Love the vehicle though!!!!!

I've had a Model 3 Tesla for 5 years without a single problem and have no use for the FSD either. It is such a responsive car it is a pleasure to
drive. I have been on a waiting list for several years for the Tesla Roadster which may never appear. I don't even use cruise control on the crooked
Hwy 101 in Oregon as the car engages the brakes momentarily after spotting a car rounding an oncoming corner in the opposite direction.
