FSD 2019 Scotland? Any experiences?

[ianto999]

Hello
I’m interested to hear if anyone in Scotland has experience of 2019 FSD, especially non-motorway but DC roads like A9 etc.

Does not work on dual carriageways (Perth to Dundee, Dundee to Arbroath, tested). Works on motorways (Edinburgh to Perth tested).
I expect this is Tesla attempting to comply with the law by geofencing, it clearly could be set to work on dual carriageways.

Maybe not full FSD but Autopilot works (tries to work) everywhere, including country roads, but it needs either painted lines or a well defined road edge and you have to be ready to catch it if you want to risk small roads! Dual carriageways are fine but anything else is certainly not going to be "relaxing".

Thanks - I guess it won’t work on A9 north of PERTH etc?

Yes, the "included" Autopilot can be used anywhere with discernable lanes, the FSD features are very different.

FSD will not work, but that is basically just the ability to initiate lane changes by indicator, and autochange lane without leaving autopilot. Autosteer and smart (TACC) cruise will work fine. I have driven Perth to Inverness twice with that, in foul weather, and was very happy with the results, from a safety and stress reduction viewpoint.
BTW, McDonalds Hotel (Aviemore Supercharger) is in desperate need of a full renovation!
