It’s a rather boring run on back roads with light to minimal traffic and one traffic light. It doesn’t have all the other challenges with roundabouts, merging traffic, high speed roads, etc etc.The things I have seen that are really good but I haven’t been able to measure against because I don’t make the run everyday. I mentioned the emergency vehicle identification when on the highway the other day. Amazed how far away I was and it picked it up, only reason I noticed it had was the car started slowing down on the highway and I then saw the msg on the screen.I made a run to the grocery store and used the accelerator at the intersections and it made it there without intervention (minus the pressing of pedal at the intersection). Again really good. The car took it’s turn at the 4 way flashing red light and proceeded without issue. At a major intersection that had a green arrow for right turn, it handled it perfect. The grocery store was two lights up the road in a shopping center on the left. The car stayed in the right lane through the first traffic light and I didn’t think it would get over all the way to the left turn lane in time. After the first light it signaled and changed into the left lane then signaled again and moved into the left turning lane. When light turned green it proceeded through, up to the right turn and made that one too. The next intersection I had to intervene, it was a left and our lane had the right of way at the T intersection, but the system wasn’t sure, it started doing the herky jerky so I intervened. On the way back home a UPS truck making a delivery on a yellow lined 35mph road and was halfway into my lane. The cars in front went around it and the Tesla put the signal on, continued into the opposing lane and went around it perfectly.Interestingly when I go to the same grocery store but approaching it from the North, it shows the destination on the main road way past the grocery store traffic light you turn in for the shopping center it is in. No rte to it from the main road, just ends on the highway/main road past the traffic light you would turn right at. When I come from the south it shows the left turn at the same traffic light off the exact same road, followed by the right turn and the left turn and the next right turn, which puts you in the parking lot of the grocery store. I guess it is a mapping issue and not a Tesla system issue.So in fairness it does do some really nice driving. Stop signs and traffic lights it handles well, speed adjustments up and down works well. It seemed to slow faster than previous release when speed limit dropped. I’ll need to pay closer attention on next run. Maintaining lane still is fine except if it gets a glitch, which is very infrequent. No more hard braking when a car crosses or enters the lane. I enjoy doing the beta and I know at some point my morning run will be totally event free and extremely boring. The calendar sync works fairly well with the location loaded in the calendar on your iphone. Get in the car and the rte is already displayed, there are times it just never synced, so you type it in or verbally do it. We are freaking spoiled with these cars. Charged and pre conditioned every morning and ready to go. Who needs a chauffeur. Be safe and keep testing. Go Tesla!</blockquote>
