Tesla Owner Says FSD Tried To Drive Into Lake — Calls Issue 'Repeatable' - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

A Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) owner has claimed that the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system drove onto a boat ramp on a lake before he intervened and stopped.

FSD Trouble?

On Sunday, Daniel Milligan shared a video on the social media platform X, tagging Elon Musk as well as Tesla's VP of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, sharing that his Tesla vehicle "tried to drive" Milligan into a lake. Milligan then said that the car was running FSD's version 14.2.2.4.

Milligan then quoted his video with an update, sharing that the same problem occurred once again. Milligan showcased in the video that he set a destination on the map and then kicked off the FSD.

The video then shows the Tesla driving onto the boat ramp once again before Milligan braked. "Here is a video I took inside the car to prove I didn't fake it. It's repeatable at night," he said in the post.

Tesla didn't immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

The videos could raise serious questions about the capabilities of the FSD system, with NHTSA already having opened a probe into the technology in October last year, investigating over 2.88 million Tesla vehicles, after it had received reports of more than 50 traffic safety violations and multiple accidents.

Ross Gerber Slams FSD, Elon Musk Touts Largest AV Fleet

Milligan isn't the only one who has shared problems with the FSD system. Investor Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki has also criticized the system for being "annoying" and unable to function properly in sunny weather conditions. Interestingly, Gerber was also using Tesla's FSD version 14.2.2.4. Meanwhile, Musk had touted Tesla as having the largest autonomous vehicle fleet in the future.

Meanwhile, investor Gary Black of the Future Fund LLC says that Tesla stock could rally once the company announces operating "hundreds" of unsupervised Robotaxis in Austin, as well as other cities.

Benzinga Edge Rankings show that Tesla scores well on the Momentum metric and offers a favorable price trend in the Long Term.

Price Action: TSLA gained 0.09% to $417.44 at Market close on February 13.
