Yup, left for lunch and AP is gone again. So the fix addressed my manual calibration but not whatever defect is causing this for a cross section of HW2 cars. Sad.

I am on 17.11.3 and TACC and AutoSteer were working fine for two weeks, and as of yesterday I now no longer have these with the "Cruise not Available" error for the last 24 hours with multiple drives. I did a "bug report", but guess I will call in now.

Yeah, we're waiting for a firmware fix, according to my SC after my camera calibration yesterday failed to resolve the issue.

My car is in the SC now. ECU will be replaced... after some queries it seems to be related to a bad connector. That would explain the on/off that I have been experiencing. Car has been updated in the SC to 17.14.23. Fingers crossed, hope that I can pick it up today....
AP1 on loaner feels very robust! No wavy lines at all.

I'm not sure how a bad connector has only appeared with the release of 8.1, unless it's for the second front facing camera that was turned on (and Tesla hasn't written any fallback to one camera into the firmware). Seems questionable to me. That said, can't wait to hear if it resolves the issue.
I'd expect a faulty connection to cause AP to randomly drop out mid-drive but in my experience it either works flawlessly shortly after starting a drive or doesn't appear at all. Having said that replacing the ECU may well solve the issue. If it does then does that mean there is a hardware fault in some ECUs that hasn't been apparent until the 8.1 update? Perhaps the second camera has changed the function of the ECU such that the issue now presents itself. Maybe a firmware upgrade can overcome this, I really don't know.
I'm out of the country for 10 days from this weekend. I'm hoping this all blows over by the time I return!

Same here, it's either on for the whole drive or not at all, and for me it's generally the first drive of the day when it appears (although only one day in five).

Today I received a call from the SC that they checked everything and that the hardware is fine. Not mentioning a bad connector anymore. They now state that it is a software bug and that I need to wait to see if new firmware will resolve it. So tomorrow I can pick up my car without any improvements... Quite disappointing.
But makes more sense when I read all other experiences in this thread. I have the same experience either it works or it works not at all. But last weeks it was not working at all. 17.11.3 changed that. Since the it was working always during two weeks. After that it stopped and never came back. During last weekend I noticed something strange however. It suddenly recognized a car driving in front of me?? Of course this could not have been possible if my ECU was not working at all.

That's too bad. Although the ECU replacement didn't make sense to me given the symptoms, I was hoping for the best. Very surprising we're three weeks into this and no solution.
I just wanted to follow up: The issue that I was having (the car pulling to the right suddenly when engaging AP) turns out to be completely unrelated to this issue, as many of you predicted. They did an alignment and everything is peachy for me right now. Sorry 
Yeah, you will not be able to use AP at all if you had the same issue as we are.I just wanted to follow up: The issue that I was having (the car pulling to the right suddenly when engaging AP) turns out to be completely unrelated to this issue, as many of you predicted.

I heard back from the service center yesterday and as expected, they said it was a firmware issue and should be corrected in the next software release. I asked if the adviser had an estimate on timeline and she said to call her back if I was still having the problem on Monday morning.
I see from Teslafi and ev-fw that a model S AP1 received 17.14.35 this morning. Hopefully this firmware includes the fix and will be pushed out to everyone soon. Fingers crossed!

Did you guys do something to fix it? My TACC and AutoSteer mostly don't work and I have tried all the reboots. Still on 17.11.3
Thanks!
I'm on 17.11.3 and my AP2 functionality has been out for over 2 weeks. It has come back on and worked a few times, but it doesn't last for more than 1 drive.
