On April 2, 2024, Pin and I embarked on a seven week long road trip circling the USA from south to north, covering over 9,000 miles.
I wouldn’t attempt this without the assistance of Tesla’s Full Self Driving beta software. It makes the long freeway stretches relaxing and more fun. I’ll try to enter installments as we go along on the trip.

Last summer, we drove 6,000 miles in the Western USA using Autopilot. It was helpful, but not close to perfect. This summer, we’ll be using the new neural network-based FSD 12.3.2.1 initially. It is much better, and can drive long stretches by itself with no intervention. I’ve been testing it for a few days, and it does quite well even on our windy rural roads.

Our grand expedition begins with a one day drive 700 miles from Amboy, Washington to Palo Alto, California.
More to come as we go along!
