After ~9 months with no major FSD updates, I put Tesla FSD v13.2.9 through a Continuous Drive test around Charlotte: surface streets, roundabouts, shopping centers, interstate, and a Supercharger. This 2025 Model Y LR RWD (HW4) handled it all with zero interventions during the drive (I only take over for the car wash). It even got itself unstuck from a no-left-turn trap by reversing on its own.

Settings: Hurry profile, +20% speed offset, HW4 driver monitoring (polarized sunglasses occasionally confuse it).
Notes: FSD doesn’t avoid potholes/manhole dips yet. Supercharger preconditioning worked; stall selection was… stubborn. Autopark and FSD still don’t coordinate.

Car: 2025 Tesla Model Y LR RWD (HW4)
Software: FSD v13.2.9
Route: Suburbs → interstate → Ballantyne “bowl” → shopping complexes → Circle K car wash → Supercharger
