“FSD Supervised can reduce risk of hydroplaning,” Tesla tweeted. “Through Tesla Vision, your Tesla continuously estimates the wetness of the road in rainy conditions. Using that data plus real-time vehicle input and response, plus estimated tread depth, it can then automatically change your speed profile to Chill and adjust speed as needed to help keep you safe.”
In response, many drivers began sharing dashcam footage of their Teslas making questionable lane changes and turns in rainy weather, causing the vehicles to hydroplane. Wrote one angry X user: “This is FALSE! Do not rely on FSD for this! The video below was in February this year. It will NOT change the speed profile. In fact, FSD is so bad it auto changed lanes in this weather at 70 mph and caused my wife to hydroplane into a light pole!”
Another day, another deceptive claim from Tesla.
