Oops. 😄

Wow, first time it ever worked for me. I noticed that Tesla had turned loose a bunch more FSB updates, so I checked my phone to see if I was one of the recipients. Nope, nothing. Then I went out to my car and opened the software menu. It told me "Checking for updates". 60 seconds later it...

Interesting. That is exactly the reason that I would like FSD to shorten the follow distance. Say I set my speed to 77, and the guy in front of me and the guy behind me are also going 77. Then for some reason the guy in front slows to 69. My car will also slow to 69, but it will keep the...

I haven't had the terrible experiences that some here are reporting. For the most part, it drives much more like a person than ever before. I noticed two places where the speed limit is 35 and the car thought it was 25 (and said so on the display), yet driving the same exact road at a...

Looks like a good sized group of regular beta users just got 12.3. I'm out of practice at figuring the percentage, but maybe about 12%? I'm counting only FSD users who are still on a 2023 base - the actual beta group - not those who have FSD as part of a 2024 update. I'm not one of them.

11.3.4 drove about 250 miles for me round trip over the weekend. I've driven this route many times on various FSDb versions, and this was definitely the best trip I've had. There are a few places along the route where I know I will have to disengage, and those aren't much improved...

I got the update. Clicked the alert on my phone and the Tesla app opened and immediately gave me a 401 Session Expired message, which won't go away. So I can't install it until I go out to the car. No real hardship, just mildly annoying. I have not yet figured out what causes those, nor how...

I find that FSDb's creeping behavior is genuinely frightening both for the occupants and for oncoming traffic. I wish it would just stop and not move at all when there is obvious oncoming traffic. It should only be creeping forward when there is no threat of an immediate collision. When I'm...

Yes, it seems likely that there is a reason for the limit that was selected. It may or may not have been a good reason, but I'm sure one exists. But when you are driving on that road, you can only control your own speed, not anyone elses. So from that standpoint, even if it would be safer...

It's cultural. Years of experience have taught us that if we drive the speed limit, everyone else on the road is going to pass us. And the same years of experience have taught us that if we drive more than (roughly) 10% over the speed limit, we risk getting ticketed. So that defines our...

It's pretty easy to do the math. It turns out about 35%, and since the distribution is (apparently) random, that could be slightly higher or slightly lower than Tesla's actual target. So it could be a third or as much as 40%, but calling it "a third" seems about right to me.

Now that you mention it, that seems certain. Since Teslafi is not in any way "official", there is not going to be any "push" software in the car. So it would have to be done by polling. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, it is responding very slowly. But that may not be entirely our fault. There are apparently hundreds of Teslas trying to update it about the new software that they are receiving. :) Hmm. Maybe Teslafi is having some issues. The number just dropped by about 300. I think we will have to...

Wow. I looked a few minutes ago and the number was the same as this morning. I was all set to tell you that you were mistaken, but when I got back there I found a much bigger number. About 700 more so far. And if that happened in just ten minutes, we might be seeing a major release tonight...

Yes, on Teslafi it jumped from about 425 to about 1150 overnight. Unfortunately, I'm still not one of them.
