    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    I've gotten 2 or 3 completely false defeat device complaints (I don't have one) to which I immediately yank the wheel to disconnect and then leave them some spicy swearing as a comment. That's annoying but not a daily issue, my more daily problem is I do like to relax by driving with both hands...

    NHTSA Recall: 23V-085

    The seems backward: the recall was for non-fsd autopilot which (until this patch) didn't look at your face while driving and didn't nag *all the time* (as I understand it reading the release notes). So this will remove the ability to use old-Autopilot w/o continuous nagging on the freeway, but...

    Cancel Tesla Download/ Pending to Install

    I found that reinstalling is also a great way to get rid of the upgrade nag (also turn off wifi so it doesn't redownload overnight), say if you don't want features removed and don't intend to let it update again for a while.

    2023.44.30.2 downloaded to 100%, then poof, gone.

    I decided I didn't want the 'enhanced more aggressive' (per the release notes) nags on old Autopilot (which is what I use for long trips instead of FSD, which false nags *continuously* on straight freeways, even with all the right kinds of torque and staring like a zombie directly ahead) and I...

    with most cars being able to use Tesla SC will Level 2 AP on other brands make u leave Tesla behind?

    The continous nagging really makes it a bear to try to be a good beta tester and use it frequently. It used to be much better, now its so bad I won't drive on the freeway cross country with it, I flip it back to regular AP and put tape over the camera and it works much better. I do know about...

    FSD drives insanely fast??

    I have the same issue, its way too 'assertive' esp when starting out from a stop into a right turn. I set mine to 'only necessary lane changes' and 'chill' at the start of every drive. One problem I have a tiny bit of control over is: it turns into neighborhood streets and leaves the speed set...

    Downgrade 11.4.x back to 11.3.x?

    You nailed exactly the issues I've noticed from 11.3.6 to 11.4.2. Mine gets really crazy sometimes when it realized it went into a turn lane and tries to 'fix' the error (swerving hard left and right at 50mph). It seems lots of folks are complaining about these issues so its probably on docket...

    Chill FSD Profile won’t stick

    When you use the wheel button to change it (as mentioned above) it changes it, driving eyes off this makes sense but if you want to just see where you are its confusing. My experience has been it stays at chill (where I last left it) after each drive. What is annoying to me is the 'minimal lane...

    Big Red Warning - autopilot (basic FSD)

    It would be helpful when the system decides to go bonkers and scream at you about anything if the reason stayed up for more than 2-5 seconds (one way or another). Frequently I'm driving with FSD off and change lanes (with blinker) and it loses it *sugar* scaring the crap out of everyone - but I...

    How TF are people who live in apartments supposed to update?

    Agreed, its understandable that pushing 3GB to everyone is going to be costly - but it would be appropriate with human interaction (hit a button in the UI that says 'download over premium connectivity please this time'). I suspect a very tiny % of folks would use that so it would be similar to...

    mirage problem?

    I had this problem in spades on the relatively featureless terrain in eastern colorado last year on 10.69, every couple of minutes a panic brake with blue sky, no cars, etc.

    FSDb 11.3.6 to 11.4.2 doesn't reset strikes

    How do you force a strike by disengaging? I disengage multiple times per drive, frequently when it nags for hands on wheel and my hand is on it and putting just not enough torque - I just yank the wheel hard to force it to disengage so I can report their nag sucks. If any sort of disengagement...

    Is there a way to engage a 'standard' cruise control?

    I saw this behavior on a newer freeway in WV (35 near the ohio border), every 1/2 mile or so the speed would reset to 25. No form of AP or FSD was usable as within a minute it would reset the speed. This has been like this for at least 2 years, with the more recent FSD beta it no longer tries to...

    THOUGHTS ON FSD

    I've been forcibly yanking the wheel and disengaging everytime it nags when I already have my hand or hands on the wheel. I figure at least that way there will be some sort of feedback the system isn't working for me. Its pretty tiring holding exactly enough assymetric torque to stop the nags...

    Dangerous Touchscreens?

    The comments on the NYT article were interesting. I'm with a lot of the commenters that I generally like having a big screen in the cockpit, but mostly I want to use it for map and instrumentation. I really don't want a cockpit encrusted with physical buttons for functions that are almost never...
