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 now. That was on my 2018 Model 3 with latest FW 2023.7.30. I am well aware what to expect from FSD, and was very satisfied with it - I have been using it as a very advanced ADAS - will let it drive and just interfere every now and then wit things I do not agree. Safety was never a concern. Yesterday I was using FSD on the Model X (2023.32.4) on route 7 in VA about 65-70mph in the left lane with steady traffic in both lanes. All of a sudden FSD turns left blinker and moves in the left lane that appeared for the forthcoming u-turn place in the median. WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN. There was no intention for turning - the navigation (blue line) was showing to go another 20-30 miles straight. I assumed it mistook the lane as if the highway is going 3-lane and moved into the "fastest" one. Since the lane doesn't continue, I pressed the breaks and took the u-turn (there was no time for me to check with the traffic and get back). I circled back and when I passed the second time there was no problem - FSD drove by it just fine. It was quite the adrenaline rush.
Bottom line - not sure how much you trust FSD, but man was I happy I was paying attention...
To be honest - I loved it better on the Model 3 - don't know if the FSD version has changed, the HW4 is different if or the car in general doesn't work well with FSD, but I was way more confident in FSD on the Model 3. I guess it takes some getting used to.
