fsd jerky driving

    Autosteering chooses curve speed like a racedriver, is that expected?

    So I am quite new to the Tesla experience (1 month, 2500km with a 2018 Model S EAP AP2.5), but I can't get my head around how Autosteering selects speed, and how much I can trust or use it. Is there anywhere a good description of it? The user manual is not very detailed on this topic. What I...

    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...

    Curves on highway no longer smooth

    Running 2023.44.30.6 on a Model X but I noticed this after the update before this one...maybe on Oct At highway speeds on a wide curve the car is not able to hold a smooth corner. Instead it seems to ping pong in the lane. Not an unsafe overcorrection, but you can feel the car sway as does...

    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 disappointment

    I purchased a model y about a month ago. When using autopilot, if I make a slight steering adjustment, the steering jolts, and autopilot turns off. With a Toyota I drove recently, the lane keep assist allowed me to make a steering adjustment, and the system stayed on. I much prefer the Toyota...

    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...

    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...

    Car slowing unnecessarily for slower cars in adjacent lane on EAP for anyone else?

    For several months now, when in bumper-to-bumper traffic, if my lane (usually the HOV lane, to the far left) is moving faster than the traffic in the lane to my right, my car, while on EAP, will suddenly lock onto one of the cars in the lane to the right and slow down as if it's actually in my...

    Smart Summon almost rammed a park car, are safeguards disabled during sommoning, or would it have stopped?

    I just picked up a model S plaid and have full autopilot if that's applicable to this post. I had parked in a spot backed in, and requested my car pick me up outfront. It was a simple manuever... or so I thought. The green line in the picture is where I assumed it would go, with the star being...

    FSD suddenly jerks wheel

    I was coming home yesterday evening and decided to try out FSD with the family in the car since I hadn't used it in a while. There is a car in front of me stopped at the light and a car next to me in the left lane going about the same speed. As we slow down to about 5mph and approach the car in...

    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...

    AP phantom deceleration? Not Braking

    This has been going on in my 3 for a month or more now across 2 software updates. Multiple times on my 10 mile commute, using autopilot, it will randomly just stop accelerating. Sometimes it happens while going through an intersection, sometimes not. I've tested it in the early morning on...

    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...

    Autopilot randomly changes set speed on DC I66 Express Lanes

    Good evening Tesla Motors Club members and lurkers. 2023 Tesla Model 3, Long Range, 2023.20.7, no FSD. Car goes stupid, consistently, driving on I66 Express lanes outside the Beltway in the DC area. We occasionally drive I66 in the greater DC metro area, from the Beltway out to Dulles and...

    How to stop FSD from changing lanes

    FSD was a step in the wrong direction for me. Previously, I would use autopilot daily and it would not try to change lanes for no reason. Now I don't use it anymore. This is what's doing now: 1. We're getting to the end of the highway where we need to turn right. It's a messy area with 4 lanes...

    FSD almost caused a crash..

    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...

    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...

    FSD beta Constantly Moving out of the Cruising Lane

    Did a 4 hour round trip drive yesterday and I have to say that I hate how the FSD beta doesn't have an option to stop Auto lane changes because it constantly wanted to go from the highway cruising lane into the passing lane when no one was in front of me. It must have done it about 20 times...

    Enhanced Autopilot Quirks

    So I bought my Long Range, 7-seat Y with the enhanced autopilot feature. My brother-in-law has FSD and enjoys the updates, but I just couldn't justify $15,000 for it, so I settled on enhanced autopilot. Some quirks: Unlike the human driver, who is likely to step on the brake (or ease off of...

    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...

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Phantom braking is unsettling and seems like it could cause a rear ending incident but I've yet to hear of a single case where this has happened. Out of the millions of miles that Teslas have driven with automation, there should be multiple reports of accidents if this were truly a problem...

    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...

    Subscribed to FSD, Very disappointed...

    So, I know this isn't the FSD Beta, but if there is a trickle down of software to the features that were available, I am incredibly disappointed. I just took a 1000 mile trip and there are so many errors and bugs that I just preferred to turn off NoAP and drive on my own. List of things I...

    Phantom braking when a car is following you.

    Near my house is a spot on a 45 MPH highway where 10.69.2.2 always puts on the brakes, hard. It almost comes to a stop before picking up speed again. I've reported it multiple times. Today there was a car behind me for the first time. When I reached the phantom braking spot, instead of...

    The speed limit on a road I take to work drops from 50 MPH down to 35 as it enters a residential area. When the car passes the 35 MPH sign, the speed limit on the screen drops, but the car takes about a quarter mile to actually slow down. It almost feels like the computer puts the car in neutral...
