🚗🌊 Tesla FSD Supervised Down Under | Shell Cove Marina Chaos Test 🇦🇺

What happens when you throw Tesla FSD Supervised into one of the trickiest suburban environments in Australia? In this video, we took my Tesla Model 3 through Shell Cove Marina, a constantly evolving suburb where construction zones, new estates, and marina upgrades mean the maps are always changing — the perfect recipe to confuse FSD. This drive wasn’t about smooth highways. It was about pushing the car into chaotic, real-world scenarios and seeing how it would cope. ⸻ 🔍 Highlights of the Drive • 🌊 Shell Cove Marina – Tested FSD in a new suburb with constantly shifting layouts and construction detours. • 🅿️ Ground-floor car park test – Took the car into an open car park to see how it would handle tight spaces, signs, and flow. • ⬇️ Basement car park experiment – Let the car try to figure out how to get out of the underground car park without help. A fascinating test of logic in an environment without clear mapping. • ❓ Q&A with my friend Amjad Amjad – Real questions from a layperson perspective, covering what someone thinking of buying a Tesla or the FSD package would want to know. • 🚗 Extended suburban estate to marina run – A long drive through estates, suburban exits, and into Shell Cove, showing both wins and misses. ⸻ ✅ The Wins • Smooth through suburban exits, rights, and lefts • Yielded correctly at roundabouts and intersections • Managed many confusing layouts logically • Some real flashes of brilliance even in new, unmapped areas ⚠️ The Misses • Fumbled in ground-level car park navigation • Struggled in the basement car park to find its way out • Missed cues in areas where 3D mapping was incomplete • Multiple interventions required — proving it’s not all roses 🌹 ⸻ 🎯 Why This Test Matters FSD’s true value will be tested not on highways, but in everyday chaos — malls, car parks, new suburbs, and confusing layouts. This experiment wasn’t perfect, but it highlighted both how far the tech has come and how dependent it still is on 3D mapping. ⚡ Tesla FSD Supervised Down Under | Shell Cove Marina Chaos Test — wins, misses, and the future of self-driving in Australia. ⸻ #Tesla #FSD #TeslaAustralia #ShellCove #Shellharbour #ShellCoveMarina #FSDSupervised #TeslaModel3 #AutonomousDriving #TeslaFSD #ParkingChallenge #3dmapping 0:00 - Introduction 1:02 - Suburban estate 2:25 - Questions 15:18 - Newish Suburb Shellcove Marina Parking fiasco 28:08 - Basement Parking vs Tesla FSD Supervised
