Partial text. Only these passages were published; [...] marks a gap.

Going forward, it is mandatory in North America to install and activate FSD V12.3.1 and take customers on a short test ride before handing over the car. [...] Almost no one actually realizes how well (supervised) FSD actually works. [...] I know this will slow down the delivery process, but it is nonetheless a hard requirement.
