I drive a toyota prius for the past couple of years. I am waiting for full self driving so I can do charts,etc when on my long commute. Is tesla fsd there now?
That’s too ambitious. The current version of FSD allows you to take a nap without any issues. Unfortunately, there’s no near-future version of FSD that can allow you to do charts, you don't do those at work?

Look at Rivian R2... has Level 4 self driving coming by end of 2026 which is similar to Waymo (so you can do your charting and not pay attention to the road at all)

You are saying you can take a nap the current fsd but can't do charts? You can close your eyes and fall alseep with hands off the wheel but can't look down on your lap top and type? I don't get it

Heihei, you cannot move your head too much and have to wear sunglasses for the nap, and it is okay to be hands-off the wheel.
 
So looks like majority on here drive > 30min. If it’s highway drive then probably tolerable. Mines 30-35min all city and sucks. Stress the minute I step out the door

Current FSD is not nearly good enough to take a nap during a drive. I’ve tried the most recent FSD…you’d be a fool to go hands off and fall asleep with it “driving”.
 
I use FSD 95% of the time. It makes a minor mistake about every 1000 miles. Once it followed spilled white paint almost off the freeway going 70 MPH. The car did recover but it was close, I was about to correct. That was the most serious incident. But now I get in my Toyota truck and I am annoyed I have to steer it. You get lazy.
 
You folks need to step up your game. I know a good number of groups that fly their docs to satellites.

Wildest example I know of was someone who wanted to set up a practice in an entirely different region and somehow convinced the group to let them do half the week with them, half the week at the new solo gig while taking probably 3+ hour red eyes, may have been even longer. Think that lasted about a year.

(No, that wasn’t me.)

Robert Windsor did that a bunch of years ago. He bought a plane or two and flew to Kentucky one day every other week and did 40 procedures then flew home.

FSD is not perfect, to be honest. I used it for just one whole year this month, and I can’t go back without it now. On my way to work, I’d click in the garage and not intervene for months. It will park in the parking lot. On my way back, I needed some help to enter the garage, there were some navigation issues as well. The new version is better to some extent. Inside the car, with sunglasses on, I could take a several-minute nap without any problems. However, it’s not a good idea during rainy or snowy days. My concern is that it’s not very comfortable. I need a better car with FSD 😉
 
So tesla really isn't full self driving at this point..is that the consensus . I am waiting to buy a new car but want it full self driving so I can do chartwork on my laptop
 
10 minutes 4 days of week
1 hour on one of the days

I’m planning on moving in next couple of year so commute will likely be hour and ten minutes (2 hours in car total 5 days/week)
why would you move farther away from work? let alone that far? No way I would be able to handle a 2 hr commute
 
Having PA's logged in as you in different locations at same time and not being available to answer the call. Once of the reasons he fired me. I would not participate in the charade.
I heard stories he was pulling 20 million profit a year or something absurd
That’s awesome you didn’t fall accustom to his greed

Stocks, science, fun facts/how things work, sports
Anything that’s well done I’ll listen too
Appreciate any recs!

Fall of Civilizations is the single best podcast I have ever heard. Period. I would recommend starting with Aztecs, but barring first couple of episodes, they all are 10/10. It’s a singular achievement of the podcast medium IMO.

Hardcore History - Dan Carlin is another one with rave reviews.

For stocks, I second the recommendation of Prof G Markets for its consistency. The Compound and Friends is another one I really enjoy.

For science, Sean Carroll’s Mindscape is highly recommended. He is just a champion dude; highly intelligent and compassionate.

Thx for this! Literally told my wife last night how great these podcasts are and why have I been wasting my life just scrolling Instagram while driving instead lol
