Alex Roy’s team just pulled off the impossible: First fully autonomous, zero-intervention Tesla FSD coast-to-coast drive from Los Angeles to New York. 2024 Model S. Over 3,000 miles. Blizzards, black ice, construction zones, New Jersey Turnpike chaos… And the car never once needed a human to touch the wheel.
Elon Musk predicted this almost exactly 10 years ago. Today it actually happened. The humans in the car basically spent the whole trip:
- Eating snacks
- Watching Netflix
- Arguing about whether to stop for Waffle House
- Occasionally saying “good job, car” like it’s a golden retriever
Meanwhile the Model S is out here dodging potholes in Pennsylvania and merging onto the GW Bridge like it’s been doing cross-country tours since birth.
Comment section energy:
- “Bro the car drove through winter better than most people drive in summer”
- “Humans: obsolete since January 2026”
- “This is why my next road trip is just me, snacks, and a Tesla that doesn’t need bathroom breaks”
Moral of the story: Elon said “one day FSD will drive coast-to-coast without intervention.” A decade later: mission accomplished. Now we wait for the car to start complaining about the playlist and asking for a bathroom stop it doesn’t actually need.
