FSD
The car drove itself (and us) over 200km to the chargers in Thrumpster. But then it parked in the wrong spot, the one next to the actual charger. So close 😉.
Earlier in the trip we were surprised by the confetti celebration on the car’s screen, congratulating us for a 100km straight run of using FSD (Full Self Driving). This time, we were ready to take a photo of it. You’re welcome! 🥳 It’s really the robot congratulating us for staying out of its way, the smug bastard. We also checked at 200km, but no additional celebration graphic.
Charging
Thrumster is one of those places I would never have visited, except that the car navigates us there to charge. The humans needed to discharge anyway, so it was good timing. Park, use the amenities, make a phone call, hop back in the car and drive off. No need to wait around. 16 minutes of charging topped up 183km of range, taking the battery from 45% to 90%.
