So 90 miles towing 11,000lbs….. impressive…….. I tow a 11,000lb 5th wheel and get 600km+ to a tank. By my calculations it would take an extra 3-4 hrs just in charging time to do the same 600km if you could find a super charger every 145km….. which is tough to do. Now if you gotta unhook the trailer because you can’t get at a charger, that adds even more time. Seems super legit

no idea on towing limit for these, but 11,000lbs is a bit excessive!

This sounds very serious.

I’ve had the new FSD beta v12.3 for about a week now. It has really progressed a lot in the last year. It will drive me to most locations without any interventions. Even traffic circles in heavy traffic. My biggest complaint is that it drives a little bit too fast. It likes to do 74 in a 60 which will definitely get you a ticket.

Does it know you’re not on the Autobahn?

I’m not sure what causes that. It’s trained on video data and mimics human driving. So maybe part of that is everyone is speeding so it thinks it’s ok to speed a little.

On an undivided 2 lane highway there was a guy changing his tire and the car moved into the on coming lane to give space the same way a human driver would.

Not all humans are that courteous... that's pretty respectable on tesla's part for that. 👍

As long as there is no oncoming traffic lol

In this case there was none. If on coming I would expect it to slow down and maybe crowd the dots a little.
