Tesla owners @tesla_raj and @teslaownersSV recently went out on the open road to conduct a real-world test of the EV automaker’s limited Full Self-Driving beta update. FSD’s limited beta was released in late October 21 to early access Tesla owners, and it’s expected to represent some of the improvements resulting from the company’s Autopilot rewrite.
Speaking about the FSD update, Tesla Raj noted how distinctly different Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software acted as soon as it hit the road during his real-world test. “So when getting into the car, it didn’t initially get presented with Full Self-Driving, until you were out of your driveway but still in a residential court. It was at that moment that the screen changed into a computerized graphic from the future that basically looked like you were seeing what the computer sees,” he said in a YouTube video about his experience.
The new FSD visuals give the impression that drivers are seeing into the mind that Tesla’s AI team built. The electric car enthusiast noticed that the car seemed to be seeing much more than it used to, from the shoulder of the road before turning to people walking around the car, and more.
The two Tesla enthusiasts activated FSD while navigating through city streets, a function that Full Self-Driving’s previous iterations did not have the capability to do. He stated that Tesla’s FSD was heavily dependent on lane markers before the limited beta’s release. Its dependence on lane markers made it difficult for FSD to navigate residential streets.
The new update didn’t seem to have any trouble driving through a residential area, nor did it have trouble with turns. Previously, FSD did not make left and right turns on its own. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software only kept the car in its lane, helped merge out of lanes, and stopped at red traffic lights or stop signs with confirmation.
During their real-world test, the two EV enthusiasts demonstrated how Teslas could perform turns with the limited FSD beta. The feat might be minor for most experienced drivers, but not so much for new ones. Making turns can be scary even for human drivers after all, especially in crowded roads with drivers that are lacking in the tact department. So FSD making a turn on its own, and carefully at that, is quite an accomplishment.
The duo was also able to see the difference between FSD’s reaction to a stoplight in an intersection and a green light in an intersection. Tesla Raj observed how human-like FSD acted in these instances. For example, the car stopped at intersections and crept forward slowly–as if it were pausing to check if there were oncoming cars–before executing the turn.
The tiny action really showcased how far Tesla has come in the development of FSD. In the past few months, Elon Musk provided Tesla owners with tidbits here and there about the improvements that will be coming with the Autopilot rewrite. He teased the profound ramifications of the rewrite, particularly in relation to FSD. And when Tesla finally released the limited FSD beta, it certainly did not disappoint.
Tesla’s limited FSD beta will continue to roll out to more early access owners during the weekend, giving the community something to look forward to as the workweek ends. As Full Self-Driving beta is released to more early access owners, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the price of FSD would be raised by $2,000 soon. The current price of FSD is $8,000. Later, he tweeted the price increase would take effect on Thursday, October 29, for the US market only.

Tesla opens first public Tesla Semi Megacharger site in Los Angeles
The development was highlighted in a post on social media platform X by the official Tesla Semi account.
Tesla has opened its first public Tesla Semi Megacharger site in Los Angeles. The station reportedly offers up to 750 kW charging speeds and is open to Tesla Semi customers.
The development was highlighted in a post on social media platform X by the official Tesla Semi account.
Tesla Semi Megachargers
The Los Angeles site seems to be the first public Tesla Semi Megacharger that is not located at a Tesla factory. It is also the third Megacharger site currently visible on Tesla’s map.
The Megacharger system is designed specifically for the Tesla Semi and is capable of delivering extremely high charging speeds to support long-haul trucking operations. Infrastructure such as this will likely play a key role in making the Semi competitive with diesel-powered transport trucks.
Tesla’s progress with the Semi has also drawn attention in recent days after Elon Musk biographer Ashlee Vance shared photos from inside the Tesla Semi factory near Giga Nevada. The images suggested that preparations for higher production volumes may be underway, hinting that a broader ramp of the Tesla Semi’s production indeed be approaching.
New deployment strategies
Tesla has continued expanding its broader charging network through several new strategies aimed at accelerating infrastructure deployment. One of these initiatives is the Supercharger for Business program, which allows third parties to purchase Tesla Supercharger equipment and deploy charging stations while still integrating with Tesla’s network.
The program recently marked a milestone in Alpharetta, Georgia, where the city deployed four 325 kW city-branded Superchargers near the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety on Old Milton Parkway. The chargers support the city’s Tesla Model Y police vehicles while also remaining accessible to the public.
As per a report from EVwire, the project was designed not only to support fleet charging but also to generate economic returns that could offset the city’s investment. Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program has already attracted several participants, including businesses and charging providers such as Suncoast Charging, Pie Safe bakery in Idaho, Francis Energy in Oklahoma, and Wawa convenience stores.

The Boring Company’s Vegas Loop moves 82k riders during CONEXPO
The Loop’s feat was highlighted by The Boring Company in a post on its official account on social media platform X.
The Boring Company said its Vegas Loop system transported roughly 82,000 passengers during the recent CONEXPO-CON/AGG construction trade show in Las Vegas. The event was held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) from March 3-7, 2026.
The Loop’s feat was highlighted by The Boring Company in a post on its official account on social media platform X.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026
CONEXPO-CON/AGG is one of the largest construction trade shows in North America. This year’s event was quite impressive, attracting more than 140,000 construction professionals from 128 countries across the world.
Considering the number of this year’s attendees, the LVCC Loop seemed to have proven itself to be a very useful transportation solution. A video posted by The Boring Company on its official X account featured attendees expressing their enthusiasm for the underground transport system, with some stating that they would like to see similar tunnels across Las Vegas.
The LVCC Loop is only part of the greater Vegas Loop network, which is actively under construction.
New Vegas Loop extensions
One of the newest additions is a station at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort on the Strip. The station is located on level V-1 of the resort’s south valet area, according to a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. From the Fontainebleau, passengers can travel free of charge to stations serving the Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as to Loop stations at Encore and Westgate.
The system is also expanding beyond the Strip corridor. In December, The Boring Company began offering Vegas Loop rides to and from Harry Reid International Airport. These trips include a limited above-ground segment after receiving approval from the Nevada Transportation Authority to allow surface street travel tied to Loop operations.
The Boring Company President Steve Davis previously told the Review-Journal that the University Center Loop segment, which is currently under construction, is expected to open in the first quarter of 2026. The extension would allow Loop vehicles to travel beneath Paradise Road between the convention center and the airport, with a planned station just north of Tropicana Avenue.

Tesla preps to build its most massive Supercharger yet: 400+ V4 stalls
The project will be an expansion of the current Eddie World Supercharger in Yermo, California, and will take place in several stages.
Tesla is preparing to build its most massive Supercharger yet, as it recently submitted plans for an over 400-stall Supercharging station in California, which would dwarf its massive 168-stall location in Lost Hills, California.
The project will be an expansion of the current Eddie World Supercharger in Yermo, California, and will take place in several stages.
The expansion, adjacent to the existing Eddie World Supercharger, which is currently comprised of 22 older V2 and V3 stalls limited to 150 kW, unfolds across six phases.
Construction on Phase 1 begins later this year with 72 V4 stalls. Subsequent stages will progressively add hundreds more, culminating in over 400 next-generation chargers. Site plans label expansive parking arrays across Phases 1–5 along Calico Boulevard, with Phase 6 design still to be determined.
Tesla is planning an absolutely massive Supercharger expansion in Yermo, California!!
Over the course of 6 phases, Tesla is set to add over 400 V4 stalls in a commercial development known as Eddie World 2.

The project was first flagged by MarcoRP, a notable Tesla Supercharger watcher.
Strategically located midway on I-15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the station targets heavy EV traffic on this high-demand corridor.
The surrounding 20-mile stretch already hosts over 200 high-power stalls (including 40 at 250 kW, 120 at 325 kW, and more), plus 96 in nearby Baker—yet bottlenecks persist during peak travel.
In scale, it eclipses all existing Tesla Superchargers. The current record holder, the solar- and Megapack-powered “Project Oasis” in Lost Hills, California, offers 164 stalls. Barstow’s former leader had 120. Eddie World 2 will be more than double that size, cementing Tesla’s dominance in ultra-high-capacity charging.

Development blends charging with convenience. Architectural drawings show integrated retail: a 10,100 square foot Cracker Barrel, a 4,300 square foot McDonald’s, a 3,800 square foot convenience store, additional restaurants, drive-thrus, outdoor dining, and lease space.
EV-centric features include pull-through bays for Cybertrucks and trailers, ensuring accessibility for larger vehicles and future Semi trucks.
