> it drove me 400 miles, door to door, last week and did fine
I call BS. Even in perfect weather on perfect roads with perfect visibility, 400 miles is at least 10 times as long as FSD can go without a disengagement.

(By the way, this is part of the reason Tesla owners get called Elon-worshipers: we see the sentiment in places like this, it doesn’t line up with the reality we’re seeing every day, and trying to correct the discrepancy comes across as worship. It’s not, it’s just that it seems like something other than truth is driving these conversations.)
Are you assuming good faith?
I believe that you believe you made a 400-mile drive with full self-driving without any issues. But I also believe that belief can be made in good faith even if there were issues during that drive--either the things that did come up you don't mentally classify as issues, or you've just failed to commit what did happen to memory.
That's not a knock on you, by the way; recently, I've been struck in a number of instances the times where I have physical proof something happened yet I have absolutely no memory whatsoever of it happening while feeling that I would have had to have that memory. Human memory is notoriously finicky and fallible.
I have a Tesla. My second so far, and I've been driving one since the first Model 3 was released. Pretty happy with the car. FSD is cool, better than I expected in many way, but I just can't envision it going anywhere over single-digit miles without a disengagement. I never got more than 3 or 4 miles before it did something requiring me to take over. And it was worse on the highway, not better.
Not interested in a fight, but I remain very skeptical every time someone makes a wild claim of hundreds of miles continously on FSD. It just doesn't match my experience at all, nor any of my friends who also drive Teslas and have experienced FSD.
