Tesla Full Self Driving - FSD 12.3.3 AutoPilot Testing
Finally got the latest FSD version, V12.3.3, last night in my 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance! Took it for a test drive from my local Starbucks to my home, totaling about 7 miles of parking lots, highways, uncontrolled intersections, subdivisions, and a busy 4-way stop.
Overall, it's as impressive as advertised. It has a couple moments of indecisiveness, but nothing that posed a safety hazard.

Full (reverse) Tail of the Dragon run from the view of the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line chasing two Fiesta STs. The N-Line did way better than expected, and was an absolute blast to take out on the curves. The STs always seemed to get away in the more technical areas, but the N-Line was never far behind. For anyone wondering, Tail of the Dragon is the unofficial name of a stretch of US Highway 12...
Where can i get one of these Ford Fusion Sport MKZ Cluster from
A few options - you just need the cluster, so you can order one new from Ford/Lincoln if they still carry it, or you can pull one from a wrecked car. You'll need to do all the programming with FORScan, or you can look in forums for someone that can do it for you. Robert Ingle (in the comments) was who did mine, but not sure if he's still doing it since this video's >4 years old
Your engine has a nice car💀🗣️
Where’s the fusion???
can you do the 85 proformance tune ?
Bro caught 10th gear
My coworker has one and claims 400hp to the wheel on e85 and a 4.5 0-60. Is this cap?
No, pretty easy to do honestly. I don't have the car anymore but I barely scratched the surface of what it's capable of. I'd expect with the right mods, and of course a bit of ethanol, these will easily sit in the 400+ Whp club
🤦♂️
How easy is it too put on the mkz cluster? And do you have to program it
Swap is plug and play, but it does need to be programmed. You can do it yourself using ForScan or pay to have someone do it.
@addisonlessing8709 what is forscan is that Ford's scan tool?
@@cjkilton815 Yes, Ford specific programming tool. You can download it and put it on any PC, but you'll need the right OBD connector. I'd strongly recommend doing serious research before doing it. There's a lot you can mess up with ForScan
@addisonlessing8709 Perfect thank you, from what you're saying I'll just have my ford tech buddy do it lol
What a nice machine! Go Benz 💖
What all did you have to do for the mkz swap, I have a 2016 edge sport trying to swap to a mkx or nautilus cluster
Oh wow u just learned me you can expand the visualisation full screen 😂
How do you cope with the red color?
Not bad at all, haven’t had any issues yet. Keep it waxed, avoid drive through washes as much as possible, that’s really it
Thanks for sharing. Looks pretty good in the Tampa area. Could you possibly lower the camera so we can see out the windshield better?
Sure thing! Appreciate the feedback. This was my first time trying to record in the Tesla, and I did up a bit of a hacky way using a suction phone mount on the roof. I'll come up with a better method in the future so you can get a better view outside of the car too.
I know it’s an old video. When I try and register it is asking for a Confirmation Of Registration. Won’t let me by pass

Wow looks super complicated. Guess I will get on with my life instead. 😂

Mine has 220k miles on it now. I'd be afraid to rev mine like that with so miles on her but I've gotten on it a couple times when I have to. Her ears still perk up.
mine has 220 k miles too.. for 7 years...and i do my things with her often , i think with this the engine only get better )))

Can I get Roberts information?
"Hairdresser's car"?? I don't think so! I'm in the UK,, and I bought my 2008 280 in 2018, and its been a faultless joy. And it can most certainly hold it's own when needed. And I'm No hairdresser.
Didnt realise the fusions made use of the dials over there. Mine and most mondeos over here in the UK have the digi cluster. It is an amazing sight
Just the new redline by itself is going to help alot.
You need a new camera mount god damn that was tough to watch
It was literally an iPhone on a phone mount my guy, I’m not a pro.
The car traps 100mph stock…..
Probably, don’t really care given I don’t have the car anymore
Do you still have the Fusion?
Sadly no, I sold it last year. I do still have parts for it, steeda front sway bar and end links, never used, steeda rear sway bar and front strut tower brace, used for about 10 months, no issues with em.
@@addisonlessing8709 how can I reach out to you besides here?
Ain't nothing like them summer nights 😉🔥🕶️😝
Very underrated video, this video deserves thousands of views atleast.
On a side note... where did you get the front lip on your Fusion? I saw your car on Custom offsets.
Do you still have the fusion sport?
Sadly not. I miss it but currently have a Fiesta ST, MB CLK55 AMG, MB SLK350 6-speed, and MB ML320
What’s the mpg
Without the tune, 22-23mpg. Tuned I stayed around 21 with mostly highway driving.
i hit 160 in mine today idk how because usually the limiter kicks in
My only guess is going downhill? Every Merc limiter I've experienced has been pretty aggressive at 155. Hell as you can see in the video, sometimes it won't even let me get to 155, stopping me at 154 lol.
@@addisonlessing8709 Yea it usually does for me too at around 156 all power just cuts out, however, I was driving on a straight road at the time with a slight incline. I wouldn't keep going but a car got in front of me.
Funny enough, this happened to me today, not gonna lie I was skeptical of your comment but I hit 160 with the revs still climbing 😳
I am from Florida and took the same risk man I flew all the way to Texas to test drive and buy it. Was so worth it but I did have to put in about 4k$ which I did not expect for having the car just for one year but I have no regrets it puts a smile on my face every time I drive and is aging like fine wine it is my project car and daily so I try to maintain it as much as I can thanks for this review <3
Glad you liked the video! By any chance was that one in Texas blue?
@@addisonlessing8709 no it was Black n 05 like yours!
@@joaoj1593 nice! Only asked bc I was looking at a blue one in TX. The manuals are so rare I half expected us to have looked at the same car 😂
This is the exact video I was looking for. I’ve had my families 2001 CLK 55 AMG being weathered in the driveway for over a decade, soon I plan on getting it fixed up, I’m hoping it’s just exterior damage(the roof of the car’s paint has finally reached the actual metal of the car) but there seems to be no rusting, so fingers crossed it’s just a bit of external damage from sitting for almost 2 decades. Any advice or things to look out for when going to fix it? Would love to see more videos about this car, there’s only so much videos about it online
Glad you enjoyed the video! If it's been sitting for some time, your upper and lower control arm bushings, transmission mounts, and engine mounts will all likely need to be replaced. You'll also want to do your valve cover gaskets, coils, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Remember these are twin spark engines, so you'll need 16 spark plugs. May be best to go ahead and replace the MAF and throttle position sensors too. Change the oil, fuel filter, and engine air filter, syphon out the old gas, fill it up with a fresh tank of 93, and see what happens! These cars are so reliable, I'd put money on it firing up. All in it's about $1500 in parts and all of it can be done yourself in a garage. Hope it goes well, keep me posted on how it all plays out!
Is this stock?
yup
Could I get a walk through on speedometer calibration? I’m all new to this
Help!! I have same tune running 91 octane with bolt ons. Can you tell me how you took the speed limiter off!??
Just ask 5 star. When they originally sent my tune the limiter was still on. I emailed asking if they could remove it and they sent me an updated tune. That said, please make sure you have tires rated to do 130mph+
@@addisonlessing8709 I will give that a try! I appreciate the response 🙏🏼
It’s crazy how the guy on the run stopped at the intersection but the cop just blows through it the cop being more reckless than the mustang
Is this stock?
Yep
@@addisonlessing8709 update here: have had a clk 55 amg w208 sitting in the driveway for over 10 years, and after sitting for 10 years only damage was a bit of uv and the paint began to chip a couple months ago, and since then the chipping has gotten very worse, and because of that It was finally put into the shop for restoration, we jumped the battery and it started up immediately, which is pretty good for having sat for 10 years. Can’t wait to see it back on the road!
We have the same car except my is the firemist color. I have it for a year and half, loved the car, done a lot of work to bring it back to great. We leave 30 min from you, if you have questions about your car I may have an answers .
Because of all the out of towners moving down here in droves. I’m from FL originally and I can remember a time when my town had pretty recent record regarding accidents and tickets. These days everyone is from NY, NJ, PA, CA, or etc and you can 100% tell. I’m an EMT in Florida and my god almost every accident or road rage we respond to is someone not from FL. Or a 97 year old who shouldn’t be ten feet near a car.
Still got the car? Was traction ever an issue? I do think more performance was left on the table because my edge will spin all four pretty aggressively and get between 4.8-5.1 on dragy when it doesn’t spin quite as much and I’m much heavier than you with the same power plant. Did you have traction control on? You should be around the mid 4’s!
No traction issues but I also never really launched it as hard as I could’ve. These cars were notorious for shredding axles with repeated 4k launches, I never launched it above 2500-3k
You say "108,000" miles as though that is high for a 17 year old car. It's hugely below average!
I got 4.9 bone stock

I own a 1st gen 2010 Fusion SPORT in silver absolutely love this car mine is in brand new condition still! Was bought brand new by my Dad off the showroom floor. Mines an early build 6/09 . I too agree the Sport should've came with a different cluster it was the performance model variant. See you have the 2nd gen Fusion Sport those are awesome too!
Love the review thank you! I always mention how this car never gets the attention it deserves. I have a cab I bought back in 2020 with 145k now at around 155k and I paid just a hair under $5k and literally had zero major issues with the car. The day I bought it we drive it back home roughly 500 miles. I love this car and for the price, I can't think of one single car that has better performance for the price let alone the reliability and luxury this car offers. More vids on the CLK plz :)

There have been a lot of good ones over the decades, but the M113 HAS to be one of the best engine families Mercedes ever made. Not particularly exciting (as far as V8s go), but, they make great power, fairly efficient considering they came out when gas was $.89/gal, and they just go and go and go. And this is one of the cooler vehicles they came in.
