该用户表示,他今早"开车"去参加一场会议,从自家车道到目的地停车位,全程约 30 英里(IT之家 注:约 48.3 公里)路程均由 FSD 驾驶,自己几乎未进行主动干预。据称,由于其在行驶过程中注意力 主要集中在其他事务上,几乎已经忘了自己在开车这件事。 该用户同时对 FSD v14 版本的人工干预情况进行了说明。他表示,约 85% 的干预发生在寻找停车位阶 段,另有约 15% 的干预源于希望车辆选择不同路线。 另一名用户在评论区指出,当前 FSD 系统的主要不足在于无法通过自然语言下达指令,例如直接告诉 车辆"在靠近入口处寻找停车位"或"在下一个街区后右转"等。如果能够通过语言明确意图,车辆在路线 选择和停车决策时将无需自行推断。 针对这一评论,特斯拉 CEO 马斯克作出了简短的回应,称相关功能正在筹备之中。外界据此解读为, 特斯拉正在开发或计划推出支持语言提示的 FSD 交互功能。 IT之家 2 月 21 日消息,特斯拉车主 @pbeisel 今日在 X 上分享了其使用特斯拉 FSD 辅助驾驶系统的体 验,引发了关于系统交互方式的讨论。 目前,特斯拉 FSD 系统主要依赖车载摄像头、感知算法与导航数据进行 ...

Here's Why Tesla Is Discontinuing the Model S and Model X
The Motley Fool· 2026-02-21 06:38
Core Viewpoint - Tesla's decision to discontinue the Model S and Model X is part of a strategic evolution towards a focus on autonomy rather than a retreat from the electric vehicle market [1][2]. Group 1: Production Decisions - The Model S and Model X are higher-cost models that do not significantly contribute to Tesla's sales, with only 4,000 units delivered in the last quarter, representing just 1.2% of total deliveries [4]. - The market is shifting towards lower-cost models, as evidenced by the decline in Model S/X sales and the production of more affordable versions of the Model 3 and Model Y [5]. - Tesla is reallocating production space at its Fremont factory, previously used for the S and X, to manufacture its Optimus robot as part of a $20 billion capital spending commitment by 2026 [6]. Group 2: Market Trends and Future Direction - The automotive industry is moving towards an autonomous future, with Tesla making gradual progress towards achieving autonomous robotaxis, unlike competitors who have struggled in this area [8]. - The cost dynamics of electric vehicles favor heavy usage, particularly in taxi applications, which will be enhanced by the introduction of dedicated robotaxi vehicles like the Cybercab [9]. - Discontinuing the Model S and Model X aligns with current market conditions and the overall direction of the EV market, marking a natural evolution in Tesla's business strategy [12].

新能源浪潮涌入小县城,增长背后亦有“变速”

华夏时报记者 刘凯 张家口报道 春节期间,河北张家口市涿鹿县街头车流涌动。记者在轩辕路路口等候红灯时观察四周,前后左右四辆 车中,有两辆悬挂绿色号牌,分别为一辆极氪001与一辆五菱宏光MINI。两年前的同一时段,记者也曾 在该路口进行过统计,连续三个红绿灯周期,仅见一辆新能源车,且为外地牌照。 彼时尚属罕见的绿牌车,如今已成为县城早晚高峰车流中的常见面孔,密集停放于轩辕路两侧的停车 位。2025年,国内新能源市场渗透率达47.9%,12月单月首次突破50%,连续十一年位居全球首位。涿 鹿县虽无具体统计数据,但绿牌车在道路上的密集程度,较统计数据更具直观说服力。 然而,仅凭上述现象也不能说明"县城新能源市场爆发式增长"。记者经过实地走访,与经销商及车主深 入交流后发现,市场增长确为事实,但也伴随多重变量。 比渗透率更具表征意义的,是品牌结构与车型品类的变化。两年前,涿鹿街头的绿牌车以五菱宏光 MINI、长安奔奔等售价三四万元的小型车为主,核心卖点在于满足基础代步需求。如今,此类车型虽 仍占主流,但特斯拉、理想、蔚来等售价30万元级别的车型也已常见于县城街头。春节期间,记者在小 区门口观察二十分钟,记录到13辆绿 ...
