On Sunday, **Daniel Milligan** shared a video on the social media platform X, tagging **Elon Musk** as well as Tesla's VP of AI, **Ashok Elluswamy**, sharing that his Tesla vehicle "tried to drive" Milligan into a lake. Milligan then said that the car was running FSD's version 14.2.2.4. > My Tesla tried to drive me into a lake today! FSD version 14.2.2.4 (2025.45.9.1)@Tesla @aelluswamy pic.twitter.com/ykWZFjUm8k > > — Daniel Milligan (@lilmill2000) February 16, 2026 Milligan then quoted his video with an update, sharing that the same problem occurred once again. Milligan showcased in the video that he set a destination on the map and then kicked off the FSD. The video then shows the Tesla driving onto the boat ramp once again before Milligan braked. "Here is a video I took inside the car to prove I didn't fake it. It's repeatable at night," he said in the post. > My Tesla tried to drive me into a lake today!

Investor **Ross Gerber** of **Gerber Kawasaki** has also criticized the system for being "annoying" and unable to function properly in sunny weather conditions. Interestingly, Gerber was also using Tesla's FSD version 14.2.2.4. Meanwhile, Musk had touted Tesla as having the largest autonomous vehicle fleet in the future. Meanwhile, investor **Gary Black** of the **Future Fund LLC** says that Tesla stock could rally once the company announces operating "hundreds" of unsupervised Robotaxis in Austin, as well as other cities. Benzinga Edge Rankings show that Tesla scores well on the Momentum metric and offers a favorable price trend in the Long Term. **_Price Action:_** _TSLA gained 0.09% to $417.44 at Market close on February 13._ _Check out more of Benzinga's Future Of Mobility coverage by_ following this link. _Photo courtesy: Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [Tesla, Inc.
