FFS. He was testing a beta update at 73 miles per hour. Is he really expecting sympathy?

I thought all FSD updates were beta updates? Did I miss the announcement of FSD going GA and being stable?

If that's the case, then yeah I probably wouldn't test run a new update on the highway first. But I also have no idea if this issue happens at lower speeds as well.

Isn't that the issue? He's using something that's still in beta on the highway.

Yes, 100%. Anyone is a fool to use Tesla "FSD Beta" pretty much anywhere. But Tesla markets it as totally safe to use anywhere and everywhere (but especially highways) so there's a point where you have to stop calling everyone that owns a Tesla a fool and acknowledge that the common denominator is Tesla and just not the owner's foolishness.

I didn't call everyone that owns a Tesla a fool. I questioned whether someone who decides to risk their life to test a feature still in beta deserves sympathy.

My bad, I didn't mean to insinuate that you'd call them a fool. I definitely would though.

Maybe just the recent buyers though.
