1. CLAIM — In 2026, some people have gone a full year without touching their car's steering wheel by letting advanced self-driving systems like Tesla FSD handle all driving, while others remain unaware this is possible.1

2. VERDICT — PARTIALLY TRUE.

3. EVIDENCE — Tesla FSD (Supervised) v14+ enables extended hands-free driving; David Moss drove 11,000+ miles (~equivalent to a year's average U.S. driving of 13,500 miles) coast-to-coast without touching the steering wheel or pedals, as reported Jan 2026.12 No exact "whole year" cases found, but high-mileage no-touch examples exist (e.g., 11k miles in ~2 months). FSD remains supervised (eyes-on required), not fully unsupervised. Others unaware: plausible given rural/older demographics without access. Specific post/tweet not found in searches; status ID unverified. Cybercab (no wheel) production slated April 2026 but not yet operational for consumers.3

4. SOURCE CHECK — @yunta_tsai is real X account of Yun-Ta Tsai, Tesla Sr. Staff Engineer in AI/Autopilot (69k+ followers, verified, bio: "Sr. Staff Engineer @Tesla_AI"). Active on FSD topics; credible Tesla insider. Specific tweet/post could not verify (no search hit; X crawl limited).456

5. CREDIBILITY — 8 (claim aligns with documented FSD capabilities/milestones; minor stretch on "whole year" literalism unverified).

6. BIAS — CENTER-RIGHT (pro-Tesla/FSD enthusiasm typical of account; tech-optimist, Musk-aligned).
