Why I’ll probably never have a streak

From the Driver’s Seat · Jun 19, 2026 · v14.3.4

Tesla added a streak counter. It tracks how far you go without taking over and it’ll throw confetti at you at the big milestones. I thought I’d try to let one ride. I couldn’t do it. I love FSD, but I don’t love wasting time, and letting the car wander around a parking lot or take the long way just to protect a number isn’t worth it to me. Today at the Verizon store I interrupted it the second it headed for the wrong lot, and I didn’t think twice about it. So I doubt I’ll ever see much of a streak. That’s not a knock on the car. It’s just that my time matters more to me than the stat does.
