There are 2 parts for Autopilot:Tesla describes how the Safety Score is calculated when Autopilot is on and when it's off, but what about when Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) is on, but Autosteer is off? Is that Autopilot or not?
Let me clarify, I was never within 10 car lengths when NOT in TACC. I was easily within 3 car lengths much of the time while in TACC.Today I drove 10 miles, 90% of which was on TACC but I ended up with a 56% score on traveling too close. I was NEVER within 10 car lengths of the car in front of me. TACC was set on 3. I drive a 2022 Model Y. I believe that TACC less that 4 or 5 will count as a negative on your driving score. What is your experience? This is my biggest negative although hard breaking - when I have to take over TACC or Autosteer is a close second!

On the other hand, if you only turn on TACC and it's time to make a turn, and it's a sharp turn at 20 MPH, you'll be penalized for Aggressive Turning because you manually turn the steering wheel.

I've also been getting high percentages for following too closely. The score is the ratio of time under 1 second to time under 3 seconds. TACC doesn't add to anything, and driving MORE than 3 seconds behind doesn't either. So you're measured only over a narrow range. If you use TACC all the time then the only measurement you'll get is brief incidents when you force a lane change to make an exit or something. Your denominator is small and that's why the score is bad. If you want a good score, you have to turn TACC off and drive in 1-3 second territory for a significant amount of time. The good news is that 10% following too closely still can result in a 100% drive.Today I drove 10 miles, 90% of which was on TACC but I ended up with a 56% score on traveling too close.

I took my own advice, had 4 100% drives in a row, and got FSD Christmas morning.If you want a good score, you have to turn TACC off and drive in 1-3 second territory for a significant amount of time. The good news is that 10% following too closely still can result in a 100% drive.
I live up a very steep 1500 climb from the valley. My driveway is also a 20% grade. There are lots of turns, and several stop signs. I cannot get my safety score above 90, even if I go 10 mph on the way down the from the foothills to valley floor. Gravity is not to be defied, especially on sections of the driveway and road that is a 20% grade, and you need to stop at a corner to make a sharp turn. The other problem I have seems to be consistent with the idea that I often turn of Autosteer when the car starts wobbling around at mergers and exits, and also where there is road construction and lane shifts. It seems I am being dinged for being vigilant and not letting Autopilot drive recklessly. I also drive up canyon roads and there is no way to use AP safely, and likewise, unless I want to keep an unacceptable distance and slow traffic down on the decent, I'll get a bad score for that route as well. All and all, very frustrating. What a scam that I paid for this software. It's a major deterrent to ever buying a Tesla again.Your advice was spot on! Thanks. Unfortunately between my wife and me our "learning" scores will keep us below 99 for at least the next 3 weeks!
