Are Sales Agents Promoting Short Term Rentals In The Villages?

Jerry and his buddy Al took the Tesla Model Y out for another real-world test of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) through the streets of The Villages, Florida — and this time, things got even more interesting. They let the Tesla handle city streets, turns, traffic, intersections, and all the everyday driving situations that come with navigating around The Villages. The two of them had a great time watching the car make its way around town while they kept a close eye on how the system handled everything. But the real fun came after a stop at the supermarket. When Jerry and Al came back outside, a light drizzle was falling — so instead of walking across the parking lot to the car, they decided to test Tesla’s remote pickup feature. With the push of a button, they stood outside the store and watched as the Model Y made its way across the parking lot and came right to them. The first 10 people who order a new Tesla using our referral link will receive 3 months FSD (Supervised) or $400 off Solar Panel installation. Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, Model S and Model X are not eligible. https://ts.la/gerald903199 Watching your car drive itself over to pick you up is one of those things that still feels a little like science fiction! If you enjoy these real-world Tesla tests, give the video a thumbs-up, subscribe, and tell us in the comments: Would you use remote pickup and let your Tesla come get you?
