I was 100% FSD today. Went to the office, ran some errands, went home. Never touched the steering wheel once. 2026 Model S Plaid.

    No, you can start FSD from stopped using a button on the screen. It drives to the destination and parks itself.

      It's been a year or two since I drove a Tesla, but in FSD mode it insisted I at least touch the steering wheel regularly.

        Modern refreshed models use an eye tracking camera.

          The steering wheel sensor could be defeated by taping a water bottle to the wheel. The eye tracking is supposed to be harder to defeat, although I wonder if it would accept a mannequin in the driver seat.

    No. A camera watches you to make sure you’re paying attention.

  It does look to an outside non-Tesla-owning observer, like it's getting there sometimes, but do you think it is? Or is it just plateauing?

    Honestly, the best thing to do is go on a free test drive and evaluate for yourself. I don’t see it ever hitting 100%, but I don’t find myself needing to take over under normal conditions.
