I just received Tesla FSD v13.2.8 tonight and decided to go ahead and take it out for a spin. So here is the video of that first drive. I didn't do any timestamps as it was the first drive, it was at night and just around my area, so I will take it to other places and during the day over the next few days and the weekend. I hope you enjoy! And don't forget to smash those like and subscribe buttons! You can also find me on X under the account name @JohnChr08117285. Love y'all!!!

Tesla FSD Settings:
My Tesla is a 2024 Model 3 Long Range All Wheel Drive. My specific settings for Tesla FSD are Hurry mode (there are three modes: Chill, Normal, and Hurry), Automatic Set Speed Offset with the maximum 50% offset (e.g. if traffic around me is going faster than the stated speed limit, Tesla FSD will match the surrounding traffic up to a maximum of 50% over the stated speed limit), and Tesla Navigation set to 1 minute (e.g. if Tesla Navigation's knowledge of up-to-date traffic data finds another route to my destination that is faster by 1 minute or more it will re-route me). Tesla Full Self Driving (Supervised) version 13.2.8 is hands-free and requires supervision by the front seat driver. The front seat driver/supervisor is monitored through the in-cabin cameras which require me to be in the driver's seat and keep my eyes on the road at all times. If I glance away from the road for more than a few seconds, the system will prompt me to look back at the road, and if I don't in a sufficient amount of time it will prompt me to put my hands on the steering wheel (what has been colloquially referred to as "the nag"). If I don't put my. hands on the steering wheel in a sufficient amount of time the system will disengage FSD and require me to take over driving manually for the remainder of that drive. This is all part of the Supervision status that Tesla FSD currently resides.
My camera setup:
- Two GoPro Hero 12 Blacks (one in the middle of the roof facing the front windshield and the other stuck to the top of my front windshield facing me)
- Two USB-C cables (one for each GoPro) attached to each GoPro and connected to my Tesla for power (I take the batteries out of them to avoid overheating)
- One suction cup mount placed on the middle of the roof inside my Tesla
- One extender rod attached to the suction cup mount and connected to one of the GoPros
