How to be a good Tesla driver according to Tesla insurance and Tristan tweet:
# of Autopilot Strikeouts - Pay attention - Hands on the wheel and eyes forward.
# of Forward Collision Warnings - Don't tailgate?
* Time spent within 1s of car in front * Time spent within 3s of car in front - Don't tailgate.
# of Lane Departure Warnings - Use your turn signal. Don't drive on the shoulder.
# of ABS activations (All & User) - Don't goof off in the snow or rain?
* Acceleration Variance - The technical term for this is jerk. Grannies will get the beta first.

so if you use autopilot on the 1,2, or 3 setting, you will not meet the tail gating threshold? Lol. I use 2…maybe set it to 4 for 7 days?

You had to provide valid insurance info to actually get your car.

That's not true. You can buy a Tesla and put it on a tow truck and drive it to the destination. Insurance is only needed to operate on public roadways.

I had to provide proof of insurance to take position of my car at delivery. Now, I didn't press the issue by bringing a trailer but they definitely asked for it.

Speculation: the more I look into Tesla Insurance data being collected, it looks like Mr. Musk is planning on a pricing beta for the 3rd Party (Tesla Insurance) for using FSD. So that they can claim that the only insurance who can provide you better rates would be Tesla Insurance with all the bugs in FSD.

Yeah, that's what everyone does. "I'm so excited to buy a new vehicle and get it towed somewhere."

Isn't that a state requirement ?

 

[EVNow]

I don't understand why another 3rd party(Tesla Insurance), need to have my driving data to get the product I bought !, this is ridiculous !!!!

This is for early, beta access. Not when the FSD (beta) is in wide release / GA.

Are nags the same as strikeouts ? I get nags all the time (doesn't detect my hands on the wheel).

I get a lot of forward collision warnings while parking. Looks like I've to turn it off for a week ... or is their analysis smart enough to remove those?

Nags aren't the same as strikeouts as strikeouts happen if you ignore the nags.

I get a fair amount of FCW as well so I'm going to be turning that off. I highly doubt their analysis will remove false positives.

The most important thing I'll do is to turn on chill mode. It finally has a purpose.

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

"do it, Robbie, do it!"

Does anyone know of any FSD Beta driver who got the boot?

I wonder how many miles the 2000 beta testers drove while using the system? That sounds extraordinarily unlikely. Maybe FSD Beta is already the greatest advance in automotive safety ever?

 

[Terminator857]

... That sounds extraordinarily unlikely. ...

Why? Maybe just few relative miles driven? Maybe some underreporting of accident(s)?

This is the way it should be. The last thing Tesla needs is somebody driving like an idiot as a beta tester. If they get in a collision (FSD activated or not), the media will glom onto that and declare Tesla's are unsafe.

Since majority of Beta testers are employees, one might theorize it was an employee.

it’s clear that they are manipulating this stat just like they are manipulating other stat and using airbag deployment as the only eligibility of an accident and there’s a thousand way you can crash without an airbag being deployed.

At least the NHTSA should get this data for real by Oct 22. We can find out then.

Not quite. I had to show proof of insurance (a card) prior to car delivery, but there was no investigation into my insurance records. This time it appears far more invasive. I wonder how the insurance companies feel about reporting subscriber information to 3rd-party companies like Tesla without a subpoena to do so.

Why is it clear?
