Tesla FSD v14.2.2.1 Takes On My Twin Cities Test Loop!

After only getting to spend a day with FSD v14.2.2, I received v14.2.2.1 late last night. I had my fingers crossed that the improvements I'd noticed in v14.2.2 would still be present in this new build. After about an hour of driving, I can now confirm that Tesla has resolved several issues from previous v14.x builds, and this is the best publicly-available FSD build I've had the pleasure of riding with so far. Come along for a run through my Twin Cities Test Loop and see how FSD v14.2.2.1 performs!
