The reaction time really is faster than I expect

From the Driver’s Seat · May 28, 2026 · v14.3.3

AI DRIVR said Tesla’s 20% faster reaction time claim was an understatement, and I think he’s onto something. I can’t put an exact number on it. The situations vary so much that it’s hard to measure anything from the driver’s seat. But the feeling is consistent, and it’s this: the car reacts quicker than I expect it to. Almost every time something happens, FSD is already on it before I would have been. Whether that’s exactly 20% or better, I couldn’t tell you and I’m not going to pretend I can. What I can tell you is that faster than I expected has been the rule on this build and not the exception. Three free months of FSD if you order through my referral link, for whatever that is worth to you.
