    Non random battery drain

    Try mixing up your routine, such as starting Wednesday morning at 80%.

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    I thought I read this somewhere, but can't find it now. Do you have a link to documentation?

    FSDb acceleration / deceleration rate... hmm.

    I finally received FSDS ("Supervised", no longer "beta") and was able to try this out. I agree that the acceleration from a stop (or near stop) is harder than how I drive or would expect from FSDS. It's only for a short time at very beginning of acceleration, but I can feel my ab muscles kick...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    That's not an FSD problem. That's a navigation system problem. When you first put in the destination, it sometimes offers alternative routes, but you only have a short time to select one of them. Otherwise, you can add way points, or use an intermediate destination. It would be nice if the nav...

    FSDb acceleration / deceleration rate... hmm.

    In my 2020 MSLR+, in Controls > Autopilot there's a "Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Profile" setting. Have you tried setting that to "Chill" to see if it makes a difference?

    FSD has a mind of its own

    Not sure if it changed, but I found this in latest manual: To Use Full Self-Driving (Beta) Once Full Self-Driving (Beta) is enabled, activate it the same way you would Autosteer (see Autosteer). Enter a destination. If you do not choose a destination, Model S chooses the most probable driving...

    FSD has a mind of its own

    I think that's how Autosteer works, but OP said "with FSD on".

    FSD has a mind of its own

    Search in the Manual for "Automatic Navigation". To enable, touch Controls > Navigation > Automatic Navigation .

    FSD has a mind of its own

    Did you know that with Nav off, FSD will look at your Calendar (if integrated) to see if there is an upcoming appointment to decide where to go, otherwise, it will go Home? Does that help explain it?

    FSDS bugs in recognizing signs, traffic lights, etc.

    That sounds correct to me. I wouldn't want it to be treated as a red light and stop. What would you expect it to do?

    Why can't my car prevent cub rash?

    Obviously, Tesla vehicles currently don't have the hardware to sense curbs, but that's an interesting idea for a feature request. Seems like it could work for the front wheels, but not sure if steering could be safely adjusted enough to prevent rear wheels from hitting curb. Might need rear...

    2020 Model S Long Range plus - RANGE

    My car and driving habits are roughly similar to yours. I suggest that you leave your car plugged in whenever it's convenient, set charge limit to 60% for normal usage, and then charge it up to 90% before you go on a road trip. It helps main battery for car to be plugged in to reduce the amount...

    Trade in 2020 or keep.......

    I, personally, will be holding on to my 2020 MS as long as I can because it still has the stalk controls, so be sure to also consider that in your comparisons.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Yes, but to be clear, Tesla will have to assume some responsibility for all SAE levels L3 and above.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    At the slow incremental pace that the software is being developed, how could Tesla FSD possibly skip L3 and achieve L4? We're the beta testers. We're the ones they release it to. Who else are they going to get to secretly test the software before releasing it to us? I can't see that happening.
