    FSD V11 Software Crash Frequency

    I have FSD V11.3.6 and over the last week I've had 3x FSD Software crashes. It hasn't been dangerous as my Tesla screams at me with loud beeps and the visual red steering wheel of death flashing. Its very obvious you need to take control. After maybe 3 to 5 seconds of warning, my M3's display...

    Brief FSD beta 11.3.6 report

    My experience is opposite yours 🙃 The entire past year of updates showed no improvement to me and V11 is a significant improvement

    Latest FSD - Autosteer not available

    I'm on 11.3.6 now and get the 'not available' constantly on the streets. Never on the interstate i dont think. When it happens, it says it over and over. Pressing the stalk every 3 to 5 seconds. I end up just rapid fire mashing the stalk and it eventually kicks in. Weird...

    I'm actually shocked at V11.3.4

    It has definitely tried to kill me in the past, but not for about a year or so. I said that above, and yesterday it might have gotten a little homicidal for the first time in a long while with me at the wheel. My V11.3.4 '18 M3P FSDb was engaged on a downward sloping fairly straight on ramp to...

    I'm actually shocked at V11.3.4

    Just noticed I flubbed my lanes in the example descriptions, just like FSD of old :) Thanks for the responses. I may re-review some release notes and try to see what traditional control loop logic shifted to NN and the effect. May be an interesting study. I'm a firmware engineer in a kind of...

    I'm actually shocked at V11.3.4

    My opinion of FSD has been pretty low for a long while now. I got FSD Beta in the 2nd 'original wide' groups in Oct '21. The ending months of 2021, FSD was a toy, but a potentially lethal one. It tried to kill me 3 times. I engaged in a parking lot with a stop sign to the main street about 10...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Nope, no issues as I still haven't gotten the stupid thing. Tesla's 'wide rollout' is not very wide at the moment. My inner 5 year old is getting impatient 🙃

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I giggle a little when I see a semi truck driving in blocked lane at the same speed as the traffic in the through lane, blocking all the line cutters. And when road raging blocked lane drivers try to cut around the truck in the emergency - the truck then splits the emergency and blocked lanes...

    Used model s buying dilemma (UK)

    My wife's model '15 S P90DL sucks up the juice as well comparatively to my M3P. About 320wh/mi I believe is fairly average for her. She likes her heat and 80MPH interstate driving. Can't say I pay attention to miles displayed at charged state vs actual miles driven, just the wh/mi value. I...

    Free supercharging vs Full self driving (POLL)

    Not how the robotaxi fleet will work I think. All Teslas with the hardware required of FSD can have FSD SW pushed to them, whether you bought it or not. Very likely in the future, all Teslas will have FSD installed, but it will be crippled based on what you paid for. Vanilla AP will be FSD with...

    Same thing happened to me exactly. And I jumped the gun and made a post "FSD V11 for the masses!!" lol

    The Major Problem With FSD That Tesla Won’t Acknlowledge

    Used model s buying dilemma (UK)

    Model S's sold pre-Feb 2020 with 70kwh or higher packs have an 8year + unlimited mileage warranty that might attract you as well. Must be purchased through a 3rd party (not Tesla.com's used inventory) to retain that I believe

    What are people that bought Full FSD doing?

    No, I mean a non-interstate 4 lane hiway, FSDb is active on those. While on the interstate in my case, I don't use NoAP either and prefer to use the auto lane change on my say so.

    How do you guys drive your X?

    When I first got my M3P I floored it every chance like you. After 2 years now, I still accelerate more quickly then anything else at the stop light - but not flat out. I still floor it for fun at least a few times a week.

    What are people that bought Full FSD doing?

    I bought my '18 M3P from Tesla used in Feb'21 with FSD on it. Comparing my used FSD M3P to similar used non-FSD M3P, it looked like Tesla charged me about $4k for it used at the time. The $4k I spent I feel is worth it simply for the auto-lane change. I was ultra hyped to get FSDb in Oct'21...

    Plaid/Refresh Amp Power Location Question

    No answer for you, but I'm considering moving from my '18 M3P to a Plaid S and very curious how to wire up my amp/sub. I had to go through some fairly intricate hoops to get 1500Wrms working smoothly. My M3 would throw all sorts of errors when the car 'wakes', turns on the HV to LV DC/DC...

    Famous YouTuber shows how FSD has major phantom braking problems. Still.

    I experience 1 to 4 phantom brakes everyday, on my rather long daily commute (~115mi round trip). They're evenly split between 2 lane highways (FSDb active) and interstate(Reg AP w/ auto lane change, NoAP annoys me too much). They are almost always a 2-5MPH slow down, but I can't be sure they...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    Bloviate hmmm? I consider myself to have a pretty good vocabulary, but definitely never heard of that one haha. For others I'm sure don't know it as well: Bloviate: To talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. Lets see if I can fit that in today's conversations lol

    FSD reflections after 3mo of use

    I've had FSDb since Oct'21. I haven't noticed much improvement. I only use it for straight 2 lane road, and it does that very well. I disable FSD via the stalk upon approaching an intersection that requires any turn because it feels like Tweek from south park is making the turn I frequently...

    Does anyone know if, as of the latest update, whether use of a defeat device automatically gives a strike, or do you get a warning first?

    I don't have first hand experience, but have read that as long as you nudge the weighted wheel ever so often in a 10min period that it doesn't complain. But that kinda defeats the purpose of the defeat then right? haha

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I get more and more anxious for V11 for something different. I haven't observed FSD improve or even behave differently for about 6 months or more. Primary 2 gripes have always been that making turns is as spastic jerky as if South Park's Tweek is driving and that it makes drug addled retard...

    Birds eye view / HW4 camera's spotted?

    Elon has twitted about the upcoming M3 changes being for ease/cost of manufacturability
  24. BobDolesGhost

    Update 2022.36.20 What is going on!!! 5 Strikes you're out.

    I'm betting this is it. With the latest FW if you put a weight on the wheel, at about the 10min mark it strikes you and dumps AP. Vol/Speed rolling doesn't affect it either
  25. BobDolesGhost

    Has Today's FSD met your expectations for level 2?

    Good way of putting it. In agreement here. FSDb is like 8 times slower(and jerky) on nearly any turn than myself in control. In addition to that, the absolutely retarded lane selection choices it makes relegates FSDb in my use to basically just 2 lane highway straightaways. Those 2 issues are...

    Autopilot buddy code is changed?

    Ahh I see hah. Will have to have the up/dwn frequency and duration of pulse be randomized as well to confound Tesla's engineers efforts to defeat the defeat
  27. BobDolesGhost

    Autopilot buddy code is changed?

    I've seen posts that say a constant weight with adjusting the wheel controls still results in a strikeout. Not positive thats true yet, but some have said I'm not really serious about this, but a weird fun thought exercise :)
  28. BobDolesGhost

    Autopilot buddy code is changed?

    I (Firmware Engineer) should team with 1 of our EEs and MEs and design a gadget that attaches to half the circumference of the steering wheel that randomly traverses a weight up/down the wheel perimeter to alter the torque moment. Maybe the movement is spring wound powered, with electronics...

    Park Seek Mode

    Agreed here. It tried to kill me several times last year Oct to Dec(<3 month period), but this year so far (~10 month period) it has only tried to kill me twice I think To be fair also, I know where FSD is going to fail frequently and disengage it to take over myself. I know that's not the best...

    It’s Over, Tesla is That Good!

    I got mostly the same car in Feb'21. A M3P that came with the 18in aero wheels (People call it a M3P-). I love having a color that isn't so prevalent. I've only ever seen 1 other silver Tesla in the Nashville area. I can never go back to any other car. I absolutely love this thing

    Choosing new or remanufactured battery pack.

    I would raise a huge stink and escalate this as high as you can go in Tesla's management hierarchy. Tweet Elon as well (though probability of him seeing/acting on it is 0.000000001%). My insurance is paying for brand new battery - get me a brand new battery or I am devoting every minute of my...

    FSD Beta 10.12

    Updated to 10.12.2 last night. I had a positive experience this morning. My home road is a somewhat narrow road, wider than 1 car but not wide enough for 2, hilly, curvey, and some blind hills/corners as well. Past FSD would alternate by accelerating to 35 and then slowing to 15...

    Tesla remove FSD capability even if it’s on window sticker?

    This is correct. And I have 2 personal experiences with it. Looking at M3P's with FSD at 2 different 3rd party dealers advertising it with FSD. I show up and it doesnt have FSD. Tracing ownership of the cars, both went through Tesla I ended up buying my '18 M3P FSD directly from Tesla. You get...

    Just suspended... Software updates do not reset FSD disengagement counter - disengagements can happen in 1-2 seconds notice and other FSDB gripe/notes

    As to the cow bell crap, I cant test it right now to see if its still functional - but I remember if you go to the toybox emissions testing and play the fart noise, it cancels the cowbell insanity. Its been many FW updates since I last did this. My wife oddly discovered that, and shes very...

    Poor people wanting FSD Beta. In Oct/Nov, opting out / in and use of rebooting to clear bad drives was the only damn way I got it. I sat at 97/98 for forever until I said F it and cheated.
