This worked for me too. What a pain in the butt. Thanks!

I’ve been on 11.3.6 for a few weeks and I agree, it seems a significant improvement and much more human-like. Still makes some funky lane choices (though less frequent, it still moves over to the opposite lane necessary for an upcoming turn. This is the most infuriating behavior I’ve found with...

Yeah, I take over control when in higher traffic situations because it does not behave predictably like a human would and it could easily confuse other drivers.

I see many of the same issues. What drives me bonkers is how it hugs the outside of curves and does not drift to the outside of the lane when passing a car that’s crowding my lane - makes me very uncomfortable. Think v11 is supposed to fix the outside of the curve thing, but I find it way too...

I see your point. Other manufacturers measure pressure on the wheel, not torque. But, the issue here is what is the trigger to turn FSD off and hand back control to the driver? I’ve read about this issue a little bit and I think it’s the biggest challenge with autonomy with current technology -...

Agree, I’m too impatient and press the gas on most of these situations.

Yeah, sharp turns are tweaky. Other observations: - Sucks with speed bumps. Usually doesn’t recognize them and more than willing to barrel over them at full speed. Same with railroad track crossings. - the indefinite creep. It creeps into blind intersections literally until it’s in the middle...

TLDR: What driving conditions have you found challenging for FSDb? - FSDb is the best driver assist package available today, but is absolutely not ready to take unsupervised control of your vehicle. - It would work better (and possibly more safely) with a more advanced driver monitoring system...

Where exactly are people attaching the straps to the trunk roof? There are a bunch of holes in the frame up there, but I have no idea about their load carrying capacity and am a little concerned the thin steel could bend under the tension of a ratchet strap and sudden jerks while driving. I...

Haven’t started my commute in earnest, but did my first trip there this week, went the long way and it still only used 49% of battery. I think I’ll plan to charge to 80% for daily commuting purposes. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised by the trickle charging efficiency so far for my around...

Late to the party. I have a long commute and cannot rely on time if I get a flat (I’m a physician and being late is unacceptable), so I carry a full size spare, jack, puck, compressor, and patch kit as backup. Got the full-size OEM spare on eBay and other stuff on Amazon for less than a modern...

I ended up buying a used ‘21 LR from Tesla with 12k mi and FSD capability for the price of a new one. (I know controversial, but I’m fascinated by FSD, and how I get to see what happens with it!). Very happy so far, but don’t start the commute for a few months. Will let you know how it goes...

Yeah, I was going to turn it into an adventure to see a good friend in Austin. Also, have access to a truck, so only would have needed a car transporter from Uhaul for a couple hundred bucks. I’m weird.

Fascinatingly, it’s only $500 from Jacksonville, FL to Charlotte, NC, which is 500miles. Also, that it’s twice as much from Austin to Charlotte ($2000) as Austin to Knoxville ($1000), which are both over 1000mi from eachother. Maybe difference is this is a used car vs new?

I did as you say. Actually found exactly what I wanted at my budget somehow this morning instead of “Tesla stretching” on this one. The SA this evening was amazing and even refunded me my original deposit because they hadn’t yet transported or done work on it and I was buying a different vehicle...
