    Yes, most likely the team was offered / told to take some time off after 1st, since they worked till the end last year.

    My theory is Elon decided to wait for quarterly earnings reporting day. Wed Jan 27.

    Wrong.

    ps : Its crazy to think Elon is making all these minute decisions. Reminds me of when people would tweet out how "bill gates" didn't test windows properly.

    Looks like people with 3rd party authorization enabled are qualified for FSD beta now. Hope this is a sign that's getting wider release to more people soon.

    What does 3rd party authorization enabled mean in this context?

    I'm guessing that will not last long.The question is will the owner (beta tester) disable TeslaFi or will they lose the beta?
    As of now it has not shown up on Teslascope and only the one Nevada vehicle is on TeslaFi.

    Well that didn't last long. That FSD beta vehicle is no longer on TeslaFi. I hope they get to keep the beta.

    It doesn't look like fsd beta is going wide any time soon. We'll have to temper our expectations even further:

    I hope they're kicked out of the program and forced to downgrade. They knew the rules and they broke them. Plenty of us were promised invitations that never came, and would be happy to take their place.

    I'll keep my estimate the same: q3 at best for release to people outside of the early access program, more likely q4.

    Let’s face it .. no-one knows, and it’s possible regulatory stuff may come up as well.

    Hence my use of "estimate". I'm not going to claim definite answers and then be wrong. That's Elon's trick.

    A wide release is far off because it would need to be mindblowingly good, everywhere, consistently.

    Tesla can't even wide release it to select areas because people can drive to other locations.

    You'd think so, but look at some of the hot garbage they've released in the past. Not just UI crap, but remember how bad auto lane changes were? Hell, AP2 couldn't even lanekeep properly for a good long time. It's *still* not great at it and likes to get scary close to the outside of curves in a lot of cases.

    Tesla could geofence FSD to prevent that from happening.

    FSD beta is a totally different ballgame, as evidenced by all the paperwork the testers need to sign.

    To be qualified for FSD beta, you can't have 3rd party app accessing the car such as TeslaFi or Stats App. They only offer closed Beta to people that don't use them.

    Oh I'm sure it'll get better before they release it. But history leads me to believe it will still have flaws-o-plenty.
