Quick note for the fellow 2023.6.11 holdouts on this thread. Looks like the time has finally come: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2023.12.10/release-notes FSD beta is now on the latest 2023 branch. Even those of you that succumbed to the desire to upgrade to 2023.12...

BTW - Anyone with a vision-only car (virtually all cars manufactured over the past 2+ quarters with no USS) is still missing significant functionality with no ETA - including Summon and Autopark, which are clearly on the list of FSD features. This is probably about a million or more vehicles...

Here comes 2023.12.5 - huge push to 3,800+ cars on TeslaFi - the most I've seen so far: https://www.teslafi.com/firmware.php Am here I am, one of less than 2% holding out on 2023.6.11. Deep down, I am 100% sure that if I upgrade, FSD beta will be released on the 2023.6.X branch the very next day.

These "second order" situations are the ones that fascinate me when it comes to the challenge of AI and driving - the ones where the right decision depends on not one, but two or three variables, each with their own set of rules. It reminds me of the "Three Body Problem" - where you can easily...

Agreed on the beta part, but: a) It's still not unreasonable to provide clear instructions for how to get the beta if that's the feature of FSD you are interested in - rather than the current "pay and pray" model b) Most of the features in Enhanced Autopilot that aren't labeled as beta are...

I think that is possible - I was stuck on 2022.X factory firmware while subscribed to FSD and opted in to beta. I was prompted to upgrade to 2023.X the very next day after my subscription expired - I don't think that was a coincidence. Had I renewed the sub for another month, I probably would...

Well, it looks like 2023.12.x is now running on the majority of vehicles across the entire fleet, the only real exception being cars with FSD beta that are still on 2022.45.X. https://www.teslafi.com/firmware.php I am still on 2023.6.11 dutifully closing the upgrade prompt window every morning...

If Apple treated releases the same way that Tesla does: Hi! I'm Tim Cook, and I'm excited to tell you about some amazing new features we've been working on! Starting with an amazing new version of Facetime, available on IOS 16.2.24, which launches between 2 weeks and 12 months from now...

Here is my FSD beta strategy coming from 2023.6.11: - Switch from advanced to standard updates - Do not install any updates if prompted - Wait until 2023.6.15 goes wide, and is clearly being pushed to 2023.6.11 USS-less vehicles - Activate FSD sub and make sure beta opt-in is checked - Switch...

Well, we now have the answer: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2023.6.15/release-notes New question though: if we pay $200 for an FSD sub and opt-in to the beta, will we get it? Or is there some other mechanism involved - e.g. acceptance criteria, a delay in processing...

Your crystal ball on this turned out to be amazingly accurate. How did you know that 2023.6.15 was going to be the build that merged FSD with the 2023 branch? Just wondering if there is a published roadmap somewhere out there that I am missing. Thanks for shedding light on it either way...

Former Miata owner and habitual pedal masher here. The Miata is super fun to drive silly - you can chirp the rear tires going into second gear, for example - but you are only wrestling with 148 lb/ft of torque at the end of the day. If you put too much power down off the line, your little 17"...

That makes sense. I almost forgot that I can simply choose not to install updates. I'll do this unless there is something overwhelmingly compelling in an update that I can't live without in the hopes that FSDb catches up to where I am now. Is that how it worked for 10.X for a while? Thanks for...

Serious question: what is the best strategy to get FSD beta for someone on the 2023.X branch? Does one need to activate the subscription and go into the beta queue to force the car to update to a 2023 FSD beta build whenever that becomes available? If you don't have an active subscription...

Annnnnnnnnnnnd I was wrong. I am going to take credit for the rollout of 11.3.5 directly to factory firmware USS-less 2023 cars for two reasons: - My finger crossing and well wishes for those waiting as stated in my post - The fact that I suspended by FSD sub just a few days ago after thinking...
