A Cybertruck owner named Micheal has raised serious concerns about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after a shocking incident during a long road trip.
In a detailed post on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, Micheal shared that while cruising on the highway using FSD, his Cybertruck kept driving at 90 mph straight into a construction zone — even though the speed limit had dropped to 55 mph and there were signs, traffic, and trucks all around.
“The system didn’t slow down until I manually took over,” Micheal said. He suspects the cameras may have ignored the construction zone signs because they’re orange instead of the standard black and white.
But that wasn’t the only issue.
“FSD Has Gotten Worse Since Tesla Removed Radar”
Micheal, like many Cybertruck owners, says Tesla’s move to a vision-only system (no radar) has made FSD less reliable in certain scenarios.
During the same trip, Micheal narrowly avoided another potential accident — not because of the software, but because of his own driving instincts.
He explains:
“I was in the left lane. Two trucks were on my right. The front truck slammed the brakes, and the one behind had no room to stop — so he swerved into my lane. I saw it coming and moved early to avoid a crash. But FSD didn’t see it.”
His point is clear: Tesla’s AI still can’t predict human behavior on the road as well as humans can — at least, not yet.
Tesla’s Robotaxi Rollout Raises Even More Questions
This story comes at a critical time as Tesla prepares to launch its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas — using cars that don’t have a steering wheel or pedals.
Tesla plans to use remote operators to watch over these vehicles. But how closely will they be monitoring each car? And what happens in a split-second situation like the one Micheal faced?
If a vehicle misreads a sign or doesn’t predict a nearby driver’s next move, will the remote operator catch it in time?
Other Owners Are Also Worried
Micheal’s post has opened the floodgates. Other Cybertruck owners are now sharing similar FSD issues:
Bruce from Arizona says:
“My Cybertruck ignores construction zone speed limits. It sees them but acts like they don’t apply.”
A Canadian owner added:
“FSD misreads almost every speed sign. It thinks 110 is 70 and drives at 100. I’m always adjusting the speed wheel.”
And a driver from Nevada wrote:
“FSD is random with speed limits. Sometimes it gets them right, other times it either ignores them or chooses a random number. I’m worried about getting speeding tickets.”
Bottom Line: Is FSD Ready for Prime Time?
Stories like Micheal’s suggest Tesla’s FSD software still needs major improvements — especially if it’s going to safely power a fleet of driverless robotaxis.
Even Micheal, a loyal Tesla fan, ended his post with a warning:
“This is why we need to stay awake and alert when using FSD — not just for safety, but so our vehicles don’t make headlines for the wrong reasons.”
So what do you think? Is Tesla moving too fast with its Robotaxi dreams? Or is this just part of the growing pains of developing world-changing technology?

This is completely made up. FSD won’t go over 85 you fucking dipshits.
That is BS the car will not go that fast on FSD.
Tesla does not have full self driving. FSD.
What day sell and let you use is full self driving supervised.
Doesn’t matter what they call it ,,,,it’s fantastic……
