Breaking News: ELON Opening up FSD BETA Program (on Twitter)
Why do we not know how many people are in the beta? 10x is kinda meaningless without that data.

- Missed an entrance to a driveway and navigated to the next driveway
- Attempted to drive FSD into a self wash - Successful or not? Guesses from the boys!!
- Interesting edge case - can you guys think of any others like this?
- Does not slow down for the dips and bumps in the road - Would that be a warranty repair? Interesting thing to discuss.
- Delivery Truck double parked - How did the FSD do here?
