FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

[Bill Price]

If we don't get it, we'll know that we are not expert and safe drivers which I've long suspected

Your logic is flawed. If you didn't get it, you might not be an expert and safe driver in "someone's" eyes. That doesn't prove that you are not an expert and safe driver. But it also does not prove that you are.

We should be getting a hit on TeslaFi or TeslaScope at some point today with at least a version number if not release notes.

I'm sure they are under an NDA. it might show on firmware tracker, but only if someone that uses one gets the update. Something will leak sooner than later

Thank goodness Verygreen isn't under NDA and has "his ways" to get the update... LOL LOL

FSD works perfectly well in the UK (and presumably the rest of the EU) - within limits.

FSD, however, is massively US centric. Lots of straight roads. FSD will take a long time to cope with the single track roads that make up 30% of the roads round here - 50 miles from London. Will it reverse to a lay-by?

Even the main roads connecting towns are single lane each way and can have 90 degree bends (or more), FSD doesn't even slow down.

I'm loving the FSD journey - that's why I got it. However it is FAR from being able to cope with anything over here that isn't a multi lane highway.

Nothing to do with the EU or UN.

Oi, we have twisty one laners but not on the middle of the states where Tesla is nearly an unknown word.

Sorry I couldn't find the sarcasm font

It seems that you've forgotten what your 2016(?) Red SP90D(L) - AP1 was actually capable of.
As someone who still owns an AP1 vehicle, let me tell you there is night and day functionality difference that has been introduced on FSD cars vs AP1.
The AP1 car will plow right through traffic lights, stop signs.
The AP1 car has a hard time detecting pedestrians as well (vs the FSD one)
The AP1 car still works decently well for highway lane keeping. But will not pass others automatically will not take exits, etc.

I've driven both systems. I've made a separate thread about this, but to sum it up the functionality NoA brings makes the wrong decision, or the correct decision but at the wrong time, with enough frequency to introduce a level of anxiety that persists even when it does make the right decision at the right time, thus rendering the whole system pointless for me. I drove AP1 for 30,000 miles and NoA for 10,000 miles, and at the end I had turned NoA off completely.

I also realize that the performance of NoA is very route dependent, so it's completely possible that some other people have had great experiences with NoA, but to be honest my commuting experience is a very very normal one.

So how do we expect the "leak" to happen? I'm sure Elon PR task force orchestrated something good!

If we're lucky, we'll get an official sneak peak at the Q3 earnings call tomorrow. Otherwise we're at the mercy of Early Access leaks.

Where are people keeping an eye out for leaks?

So far I've spotted a TMC thread where some folks confirm they've got it (perhaps sarcastically), but are mum about the details: Did you get the FSD beta update yet???

And a Reddit thread of bored investors: New FSD beta YouTube streamer mega thread. Post the streams here so we can commentate and discuss tonight and tomorrow : teslainvestorsclub

Let's be honest. If it was really that great and accurate they wouldn't be worried about leaks....... But no one wants to be a whistle blower when the release just sucks too much.....I really hope I am wrong

I'm checking reddit. There are several reddit threads on the fsd beta. I am also searching youtube.

Tesla to Release FSD Beta to Early Access Program (EAP) Members Today : teslamotors

Prediction: We will have FSD beta in wide release by the end of 2020 : TeslaAutonomy

Only a few hours to release of FSD beta. Do you think it will be a smashing success? : TeslaLounge

 

[jeremymc7]

Posting the version number, release notes, or screenshot possibly shouldn't be a big deal; even with an "NDA".

Exactly....Even anonymously... Nothing though. Elon usually shows a sneak peaks before the release... Could it be that it's just too far behind schedule?

For all we know, this could be such a small pool of testers that they've individualized version numbers to catch folks using TeslaFi when they shouldn't be. 2020.42.001, 2020.42.002, etc.

 

[powertoold]

With the way Elon worded the tweet, he is essentially inviting leaks. He doesn’t say private beta, and he also identifies the particular date and group of people in EAP that would be participating.

Lunacy! Tesla is ALWAYS on schedule!

 

[Silicon Desert]

Select group of safe, careful and expert drivers, in USA I presume.

It's of interest to me how they determine who is "safe and careful". I guess this means the wife likely won't get her upgrade until about, oooohhhh, 2030, but I might get it tonight. That should tell you who is the road maniac in my family.

I guess you haven't heard.... Tesla no longer has a public relations team.

 

[Rockster]

I'm a hypocrite: I would never violate an NDA if I were in this select group of beta testers but I want at least a few of them to violate theirs.

Maybe Tesla's secret PR team added the dudy to leak something into the NDA. Who knows ;-)

Announcing this for the day before earnings is nasty if we don't get a sneak preview...
