This drive is one of the most comprehensive Full Self-Driving Supervised tests I’ve done in Australia — and it was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. From multi-level underground car parks to the chaotic heart of Sydney’s CBD, from merges onto busy motorways to handling the Anzac Bridge and tunnels, this drive truly pushed FSD to its limits. And the best part? This is an unedited video — you see everything exactly as it happened, the good, the bad, and the moments where I stepped in. ⸻ 🔍 Highlights of the Drive • 🅿️ Multi-level underground car park – Watching FSD attempt to work its way out of a tight underground car park was fascinating. It almost managed the entire process logically, but you could see how lack of detailed 3D mapping still poses challenges. • 🏙️ Sydney Haymarket navigation – A true stress test. Haymarket is one of Sydney’s busiest spots, full of cars, buses, pedestrians, and complicated intersections. FSD did remarkably well in most cases, but there was one scary moment where, instead of continuing straight, it was in the right lane and tried to merge left to go straight at a packed intersection. That was a place I had to step in. • 🌆 Sydney CBD run – From Haymarket, we dove deeper into the city, navigating through World Square and along Pitt Street. These are streets full of distractions, parked cars, narrow lanes, and unpredictable traffic — yet FSD held its composure surprisingly well. • 🌉 Anzac Bridge test – Driving onto and across the Anzac Bridge was smooth. The logic of lane choice and merging worked beautifully here, showcasing FSD’s ability to adapt to larger, multi-lane flows. • 🚇 Sydney tunnels – Taking FSD into the tunnels was another highlight. Even in low-light, GPS-compromised environments, the car tracked lanes well and maintained good speed control. • 🔀 Special motorway merge – One of the standout moments was watching FSD merge from a small side lane directly onto the main motorway. It judged the gap confidently and committed to the move in a way that felt almost human. ⸻ ✅ The Wins • Nearly got out of a multi-level underground car park • Smooth handling of tunnels and bridges • Confident motorway merge from side lane • Adapted to CBD and World Square chaos with surprising composure • Lane choice and speed management were excellent in most cases ⚠️ The Misses & Interventions • Scary Haymarket error: tried to shift lanes incorrectly at a busy intersection • Several times I chose to take over out of caution — maybe FSD would have been fine, but in Sydney’s traffic you can’t always wait to find out • Struggled in the underground car park without detailed maps ⸻ 🎯 Why This Test Matters Most people think of FSD as something that shines on highways or quiet suburban roads. But the true challenge of autonomy is in the heart of a city like Sydney, where every corner brings new chaos — buses cutting across lanes, confusing intersections, car parks with no clear markings, and pedestrians everywhere. This drive shows just how far Tesla has come with FSD Supervised Down Under: • It’s 99% brilliant — showing logic, patience, and composure in places even human drivers sweat. • But that last 1% of unpredictable edge cases — like sudden lane errors or misreading an intersection — is exactly what makes the journey to full autonomy so tricky. ⸻ 🗣️ Final Thoughts This drive had everything: underground car parks, bumper-to-bumper city chaos, tunnels, bridges, and motorway merges. It also had mistakes, interventions, and tense moments — because that’s the reality of testing Full Self-Driving today. ⚡ Tesla FSD Supervised Down Under | Sydney Haymarket, CBD, Tunnels & Anzac Bridge Test — an unedited, real-world look at the wins and the weaknesses. ⸻ #Tesla #FSD #TeslaAustralia #Sydney #SydneyCBD #Haymarket #WorldSquare #PittStreet #AnzacBridge #SydneyTunnels #FSDSupervised #TeslaFSD #AutonomousDriving #TeslaDownUnder
