Hey guys, relatively new owner of 23MYLR. So, I've been using FSD for a couple of months now and I've been playing around with the settings as I should be. I wanted to ask if more experienced folks on here could clear up Autopilot vs FSD terminology for me.
- If I do a single pull on my right stalk, I enter TACC. That is denoted by the blue MAX and the car brakes and speeds up as needed. I am in control of the steering.
- If I've purchased FSD and I do a double-pull, I'm in FSD (denoted by blue steering wheel). Does this mean I will never utilize Autopilot features and I can ignore all the instructions in the manual that talk about Autopilot stuff (i.e. Navigate on Autopilot, using the right steering button to change follow distance, being able to deny lane changes)? The reason why I ask is I read all these instructions that don't exist in my MYLR and I'm assuming this means that FSD software is just going to be different from Autopilot. So, when I read anything regarding Autopilot settings, I need to disregard those since they don't apply to me? Or have you folks found that certain instructions do apply to both in your experience?
- I know I can change to a single pull Autopilot/FSD in my settings but I am not entirely comfortable with v11 of FSD so I prefer to drive TACC sometimes (plus the wife entered FSD accidentally one time w/ single pull and did not like it at all).
I've been following Tesla for a long time but now that I have my hands on an actual Tesla, I just want to understand from more experienced owners how to differentiate features of Autopilot vs. FSD. IMO, unless I'm missing something, Tesla's instructions are not really clear on the differences between settings for one vs the other.
Thanks everyone in advance.
