    FSD Beta 12.3 GA

    FSD Beta 12.3 (2023.44.30.25) dropped this morning and my '22 MYP was a lucky boy. Holy moly it is a game changer 1. Smooth turns - werky-jerky steering wheel is GONE (well at least 90% of that gone :) 2. Human feel on the highway - it changes lanes for the right reasons, keeping up with other...

    TACC stopping time too short for comfort.

    I use the basic TACC (commonly called adaptive cruise control) very frequently when my itinerary goes thru lot of long sections of straight roads(. When it comes to an intersection with car(s) already stopped there, the M3 RWD does not start slowing down until it is about 5 car length from the...

    Using FSD for 3 months - Is my experience typical?

    I own a '23 MYLR which I've had since Feb, no FSD. My wife just bought a '23 M3P that came with FSD for 3 months which just ended. I've run FSD in a combination of highway, suburban, and rural environments. Two things are very clear to me after three months. First, it's performance ranges...

    Any tips to slow down when autopilot disables from not looking at the road?

    It seems to keep getting harder to not have autopilot disengage. Any tips/tricks to slow down or stop how "sensitive" it is?

    Phantom Braking misunderstanding

    I had phantom breaking events over several years, but recently, in both Model 3 FSD and Model Y AP, I saw almost no phantom breaking at all. And now I see this video from Patrick, the Ford Mach-E enthusiast. When I pointed out that what they see is not phantom breaking, I'v got this from...

    Autopilot issues

    Hi has anyone been having issues with the cruise control side of autopilot now and again breaking really sharply all of a sudden when travelling down a motorway and about to over take another vehicle, like it suddenly acts like your about to drive into the back of a car that's clearly in the...

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    Very likely that there will be a major update soon. When? Either: Thanksgiving weekend (23rd Nov) CT event (30th Nov) Christmas (24th Dec) What will it contain? Grok (20% likelihood?) V12 FSD (20% likelihood) ASS included? Emergency Starlink comms (20% likelihood) Games X app? ?

    FSD 11.4.7.3 The latest disaster

    I've been testing FSD since Jan 2022. The software improved from Jan 2022 to approx Nov 2022. Since then, it's been one disaster after another, often the newer release fixed a problem created by the prior release. The latest is no exception. Here's a summary of the latest disasters...

    Stupid stuff 2023.32 AP does

    Drove about 300 mi round trip yesterday to get to where the eclipse was a full ring. First trip in 2023 Model Y with 2023.32.6 software, basic autopilot only. Some really bad regressions I have observed in this update: - It missed something like 40% of speed limit signs. And I drive in a place...

    Autopilot breaking for roundabouts

    I drive the same route most days, and have been accostumed to having to disengage autopilot when i near a certain roundabout because it does not slow down on autopilot In fact i dont ever recall it ever slowing down for a roundabout in the past. (6 months of ownership) Now it seems it is...

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    First, I am sorry about the clickbait title. I am a proud owner of a new model X (decided to take advantage of FSD transfer option). To give you some background - I've been an FSD beta tester since it was available (after a strenuous couple of weeks and a 99 safety score) for couple of years...

    Why does FSD run so many red lights?

    This guy states it's been happening for 2 years. He demonstrates it on 2 versions. There are plenty of other examples What doe this say about 'FSD' & robotaxi potential?

    A few observations from a 2023 HW4 Model S road trip

    I’m about 2000 miles into my first significant road trip in my new 2023 Model S with HW4, delivered May 1. I drove from FL to New England, currently in RI. I purchased the car with EAP but subscribed to FSD before the trip so I could use FSD Beta when I wanted to. I’m on build 2023.32.4 (FSD...

    FSD - Stop & Go Traffic

    Trying to gain more confidence using FSD on a 45mph road, one lane in each direction. My question is, do you feel confident that after the car goes forward it will stop? I would apply the brakes or remove my foot from the accelerator before FSD stops the car. It seems nerve wracking. Just...

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I own FSD. My opinion is FSD drives like an erratic teenager first time driver. Sometimes it's so slow it annoys you. Other times it leaves so little distance it scares you. It's jerky and not smooth. It automatically does lane changes on its own which I'd rather leave off and initiate myself...

    Tesla FSD - A Five Year Perspective

    My Model 3 was delivered in mid-August 2018. While I originally just had Enhanced Autopilot (EAP), I quickly paid the extra $2000 to get FSD as rumors swirled about Tesla charging more in the future. What's my opinion after 5 years of testing and playing with Tesla EAP and FSD? TLDR: It's pretty...

    FSD 11.4.4 - stalling in the middle of a turn

    Here's the issue I observed 2 times over past 24 hours. Notably, this happened at the intersections that weren't previously seen as problematic. When making an unprotected left or right turn, FSD waits, commits to the turn and proceeds but then violently jerks steering wheel left/right and then...

    FSD beta - first time user reactions

    I have got to be honest. Full Self Drive capability in Tesla goes further than any other vehicle designed by man (or woman) but it left me wanting for more. I bought my Model Y Long Range on Friday 9/1 and took it for a little ride from Houston to Corpus Christi on Sunday 9/3. Here are my first...

    Thoughts from a first time FSD Beta User: HW4

    TLDR Summary: The FSD Beta Stack (11.4.4) on the highway is much smoother and more comfortable than the current production Navigate on Autopilot. (2023.26.11). Self driving on local roads is legitimately for beta testing and feedback, and not comfortable at intersections. NHTSA is doing a...

    FSD 11.4.4 Runs Red Light

    Running FSD 11.4.4. I'm in lane #2 of two lanes turning left at a light. The intersection is not square, more of a 120 degree turn to the right. FSD stops for the light as expected. The opposing northbound traffic left turn signal turns green. FSD decides to proceed into opposing traffic...

    Autopilot is getting worse, not better.

    I’m into my 7th year of my 2nd Tesla, this one being a 3P. It’s 3 years old. In this 7 year period in my opinion autopilot has gone from good to bad. It’s getting worse and worse as time goes by. For me, my car took a massive step backwards when Musk announced cars would navigate using vision...

    FSDb 11.3.6 Violent Zig Zag at slow speed

    Today the car stopped waiting for a left hand turn (due to oncoming traffic) on a two lane rural road. When it made the turn and was on the road being turned into, it suddenly made a violent zig zagging movement and seemed to come to a stop about 3 feet into the opposing lane, having crossed...

    I was driving today on a slight dow hill, 2 lane divided highway, i was on the inner fast lane.. 55mph A short 3rd lane appears on my left, for a left turn only through the highway divider Without warning, car enters the left turn lane for no reason then slams on brake as road disappears in...

    Why is AP dropping 20mph on freeway

    About a month into ownership here. On the last few trips with AP; going home during rush hour in the HOV lane with a wall of cars to the right while cruising at 75mph the car will randomly drop into the 50s. I can’t figure out why but it brakes pretty hard. I’m sure the pile of cars behind me...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Just took a trip from Texas to Arizona on I-10 in my 2020 LR M3. From West TX to middle of AZ had about 15 instances of phantom braking. HARD braking - from 80 mph to 25 mph in seconds. Thankfully no traffic behind me or they could have easily hit me from the drastic slowdown. Had previously had...

    FSD Beta 11.4.2 Ignores White Shoulder Boundary!

    Testing FSD beta 11.4.2 today on a short torture course that caused problems for earlier versions. This drive was done in Chill mode. At 5:49, it barely made the transition into a left turn lane to enter an onramp to I-5, which earlier versions could not do. It had to make a hard braking...

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    I've been in the FSD Beta program since summer of last year, and while I've seen updates with significant improvements, so far my limited experience with 11.4.2 has shown more improvements than I've seen in any prior release. (As always, YMMV). We've all developed a feel for what FSD Beta can...

    Enhanced Autopilot Quirks

    Phantom braking at night with 2022.44.11

    I've had 2022.44.11 for three days now, and for the first time since receiving it, I did a 45-minute drive after dark. (It actually began at late dusk, and by the end it was completely dark.) This drive was mostly on the highway, and phantom braking was awful. I experienced it probably about a...

    11.4.4 FSD has become to dangerous to use

    FSD Beta 10.69 mishandles intersections often. It moves out a little then hesitates and eventually gets through ok. Sometimes it does a great job and not just by following the car ahead. Other times it seems to get overwhelmed by complex movements of multiple objects like pedestrians walking...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    After years of waiting I finally got my FSD Beta! After 6-weeks I turned it off. I found the promise of the FSD Beta to be overblown. Yes it is very cool that the car will navigate on city streets to a destination. But the car is far too timid to be usable. It is worse than driving with a...

    FSD Beta Problems I've Experienced

    I’ve found that FSD Beta (under 2022.44.30.5) cannot negotiate a particular intersection geometry shown below. The vehicle just stops before the intersection and will not proceed. Here’s the setup: the vehicle is in blue with the direction of motion shown by a black arrow. The planned path...

    Do you regret updating to use Tesla Vision and disabling your radar? Would you go back if you can?

    My M3 is still on 2022.20.X - I stopped updating ~4 months ago when they turned off the radar in favour of Tesla Vision. Everyone on here and the subreddit was saying how phantom braking is worse, which I didn't really like, but the real dealbreaker for me was requiring the auto high beams...

Zero intervention trips are now common, and even my long daily commute only has a couple of them, usually at predictable...

    Phantom Brake Crash?

    Anyone else having trouble with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control?

    I'm currently driving across Canada in light winter conditions and have had to fight with cruise control a lot more than I'd like. When you activate cruise control you are also engaging Autopilot even if you don't have the Full Self Driving package. And because Autopilot depends on the car's...

    Nervous Nelly [FSD Complaint]

    Phantom braking when a car is following you.
