Taha Abbasi just completed what may be the most thoroughly documented autonomous cross-country drive in Tesla FSD history. His Cybertruck covered 2,187 miles from South Jordan, Utah to Newark, Delaware on FSD v14.2.2.3 — with a single disengagement so brief the odometer didn’t register it. Here’s what the data tells us about where Tesla’s Full Self-Driving actually stands in February 2026.
Let’s start with Taha Abbasi’s own breakdown, posted to X shortly after arriving at his destination:
That’s a 99.995% autonomous driving rate. Out of 2,187 miles, only 0.1 miles were driven manually — the dirt path into the cemetery at the destination. The single disengagement at a toll booth in Montpelier, Ohio (mile 1,610) was a comfort brake by co-driver Nichell, not a system failure.
This trip was run entirely on Tesla FSD v14.2.2.3, part of the 8th deployment batch of version 14. The route threw nearly every challenge at the system:
For context, earlier FSD versions struggled with many of these scenarios. Version 14’s end-to-end neural network approach has shown dramatic improvements in handling edge cases that tripped up versions 12 and earlier.
One of the most striking data points from Taha Abbasi’s trip: the entire 2,187-mile journey cost $0.00 in charging. The Cybertruck came with free Supercharging through September 2026, meaning all 16 Supercharger stops across nine states were fully covered.
To put this in perspective, a comparable gas-powered truck getting 20 MPG would have burned approximately 109 gallons of fuel. At a national average of roughly $3.20 per gallon in February 2026, that’s about $350 in fuel costs. The Cybertruck did it for zero.
The 16 Supercharger stops also served as the natural swap points for the relay system Taha and Nichell used — one supervised while the other rested, switching at each charging stop. The Supercharger network effectively doubled as their rest-stop infrastructure.
This was the 4th vehicle to complete a fully autonomous cross-country drive on Tesla FSD, and the first Cybertruck. Here’s how the runs stack up:
| Driver | Vehicle | Route | Distance | Disengagements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| David Moss | Model 3 | LA → Myrtle Beach | 2,732 mi | 0 |
| Alex Roy | Model S | LA → New York | 3,081 mi | 0 |
| BeardedTesla & JoshWest247 | Model Y | Coast to Coast | ~3,000 mi | 0 |
| Taha Abbasi | Cybertruck | UT → DE | 2,187 mi | 1 (comfort brake) |
Notable differences: Alex Roy’s drive was completed in the dead of winter. Taha’s was unplanned — an emergency run for a family funeral, not an optimized record attempt. The single disengagement was a human choice, not a system limitation.
What sets this trip apart technically isn’t just FSD performance — it’s the integration of AI systems beyond the vehicle itself. Taha’s AI assistant, Benny J Walker, built a real-time trip tracker during the drive, logging every Supercharger stop, state crossing, and FSD data point to a live dashboard.
This kind of real-time documentation — AI monitoring AI — represents an emerging pattern in how technology enthusiasts are validating autonomous driving claims with verifiable data rather than anecdotal reports.
Let’s be precise about what this trip demonstrates and what it doesn’t:

Taha Abbasi has announced a follow-up: a zero-disengagement coast-to-coast attempt. A full video documenting this trip will be published on his YouTube channel, The Brown Cowboy, within the next week.
Every leg, every Supercharger stop, every mile of FSD data is available on the live trip tracker. For more of Taha Abbasi’s FSD analysis, read his deep dive into Tesla’s vision-only approach and his breakdown of supervised vs. unsupervised FSD milestones.
