Tesla FSD V14 Lite Drives Through the Rain… “Wipers Are Disappointing”

The driver, who has owned a Tesla for five years, named the wipers as the least satisfying part. The reaction speed of the automatic wiper mode is slow, so it tends not to activate right when rain begins, while in light rain it runs too fast and becomes a nuisance.

He also noted that the automatic control for changes in the surroundings, such as entering or leaving a tunnel, left something to be desired, and stressed the need to improve wiper performance.

This shows how FSD V14 Lite judges the surrounding environment on its own, provides information to the driver, and clearly communicates the limits of the driving system in bad-weather conditions.

He explained that pushing the jog wheel left or right is more efficient than pulling it down. Through this method, FSD can immediately switch between graded speed settings such as Hurry, Standard, and Sloth.

Adding that "pushing the jog wheel to the right or left, it goes faster," he emphasized that drivers can quickly adjust FSD's driving settings to suit the situation during actual driving.

The driver described the main functions of Tesla's user interface (UI). He said tapping the map area enlarges the map, and the map can be brought back up with the route-marker button.

He added that the speed profile and light settings menus are placed on the screen so the driver can easily check and operate the information needed while driving.

The driver showed how to check FSD's continuous driving record. He noted that on models with the Intel Atom chip the screen can load somewhat slowly, but explained that "tapping the continuous record shows how much Full Self-Driving you've done," saying drivers can use it to check how much they rely on FSD.

He said his car currently runs 96% of its driving on FSD, and that reaching a 100 km continuous record triggers a congratulatory message with a visual effect.

However, he added that several questions remain about the subscription launch, including whether service continues if payment lapses and whether new updates apply immediately.
