Fred does it again with a fantastic report on Tesla “self-driving”. He just wrote up the FSD version 14.2.2.4 news that a Tesla tried to drive into a lake.

The lake incident is the latest in a pattern of alarming “Full Self-Driving” failures that Electrek has been tracking for years. In May 2025, a Tesla on FSD suddenly veered off road and flipped a car upside down in a crash the driver said he could not prevent. In December, a Tesla driver in China crashed head-on into another vehicle during a livestream demonstrating FSD features, the system initiated a lane change into oncoming traffic.

Two Tesla influencers attempting Elon Musk’s much-hyped coast-to-coast FSD drive didn’t even make it out of California before crashing into road debris.

The FSD v14.2.2.4 build involved in the lake incident rolled out in late January 2026. Tesla did not publish new release notes for this version compared to the prior v14.2.2.3, characterizing it as a polished and fine-tuned build.

Polished… like a glassy lake.
