Thanks for all the responses. Good to know that some of you experience the jerkiness I was talking about. It feels a bit better to know that I’m not alone with the issue.
Just so you all are aware, I got every option possible- Autosteer, FSD, enhanced AP, Navigate on AP etc. And, I have all the options enabled.
I realize that pushing the stalk up or using brakes to disengage is a better option to avoid the jerk (I figured that out quickly and Tesla service recommended the same) but it's very natural to use the steering in some instances. For instance, the other day I was driving on a single lane road with autosteer engaged. As I was approaching an intersection, a new left-only lane started on my left side. I needed to continue going straight but weirdly the car decided to move into the left-only lane. My immediate reaction was to turn the steering back to straight position. Now, am I supposed to predict that weird move and turn the right indicator on ahead of time to stay in the same lane!? Or, am I supposed to push the stalk up (I'd be already in left-only lane by then) and then change back to right lane?
See what I'm saying? There were several other situations where my instinct was to go for the steering to disengage (one step as opposed to two with the other methods).
Given the limitations and issues of AP, I think I'm already figuring out the best options to use for various situations but based on what I'm hearing from others here, the jerkiness appears to be a flaw only some cars have it. Remember, the car I test drove at the dealer didn't have that problem. I tested forcing the disengage with steering and it was smooth.
I think those who have the same problem with their cars should contact Tesla and maybe then Tesla will address it. It has to be some part or a setting that needs to corrected.
Overall, I feel that my mind is having to work harder with AP than without it because I can't completely trust it yet. Does anyone feel the same way?
