Part 2/14:
James, known for his candid opinions and critical stance on Tesla and FSD, was initially skeptical but decided to test drive the Model Y. During the 30-minute drive, he reported that the car handled quite well, with smooth and buttery acceleration, low road noise, and a high-quality sound system. James, who previously drove a Nissan and BMW, remarked that the interior design was impressive and the driving experience felt very refined.
Most strikingly, he praised the FSD system, stating that it managed complex maneuvers—such as navigating difficult left turns at busy intersections, low-visibility scenarios, and double-parked vehicles—with a humanlike finesse. According to James, the system handled these challenges considerably better than expected and without safety concerns.
