Yes agreed, but total honesty certainly wouldn't be good for shareholders.I'm still waiting....on 17.17.4 right now - but the preliminary reviews of 17.24.28 don't sound very promising, relative to Elon's claim of "silky smooth".
I am still amazed at the claims Elon makes regarding any software release, given his reputation as a tough boss and focused on getting what he wants. Does he actually drive an updated Tesla before he tweets his commentary ??? I love my car overall, but I can't believe any A-type personality like Mr. Musk would drive one, activate Autosteer, and not understand that it isn't ready for prime-time yet (and actually scary in some circumstances), and is only going to anger his loyal customer base. I'd be apologizing to all the folks who shelled out $3-$8K for a feature, advertised to be ready in Dec 2016, that currently has no real timeline for 100% reliable functionality in sight
How can he possibly be satisfied with the current results ?
I'm frustrated that AP2 doesn't work right yet, but I understand some of the reasons why it might need more time to perfect. But I'm angry that Musk himself has the balls to say it's "silky smooth", implying a great driving experience, when he knows it's no where near up to snuff yet...
I share that sentiment. He atleast needs to fire the person who told him it's Silky Smooth - and perhaps that's what happened.
So as of right now there are five people who have an updated software release and agree with Elon's assessment that it is "silky smooth"? If there are five of you out there that believe that, why hasn't it been a bigger deal on TMC yet? The best I've heard is it is a "little smoother", but that is a far cry from "silky smooth".

do you ignore the many people who post on here saying AP2 works great for them? Autosteer works for plenty and is 100% reliable for many. oh autosteer doesn't work for my daily driving so therefore its useless and not ready for primetime!
When I hear the feedback for AP2, all I'm hearing is that there's no dramatic changes in what kinds of roads / scenarios you can use AP2 in, compared to 17.17.4. However, on the types of roads that AP2 works reliably, the control is noticeable smoother, both in steering and acceleration/braking.
I think that's still an improvement. It's a far cry from AP1 parity or "superiority" or the "enhanced" AP features originally advertised, sure. But man, some people seem so upset with this car that it seems like they're better off buying something else that makes them happier.
(Signed, a satisfied 17.17.4 AP2 driver who traded in an AP1 willingly for AP2, who is also looking forward to this new update)
I don't have much experience with AP1 outside of my test drive, but what's the biggest gap between AP1 and 2 at this point? I know there's the missing things(auto wipers, showing types of cars and showing cars in adjacent lanes), but those seem pretty unimportant. The only thing I can really think of is the jerkiness of going around corners, lane departure on corners, and braking. But it sounds like this update fixes those. And on the flip side, so far as I've seen/read, truck lust isn't a thing on AP2.
It's super clear that this is not an update for AP2.
This has rolled to 160 cars in the last 3 days on ev-fw. Less than 10 are AP2 cars. It's basically actively avoiding AP2 cars. If Tesla thinks this improves AP2, they are insane for waiting on this roll out. They know how to get updates to the whole AP2 fleet in just 3-4 days, they have done it before. They are under the pressure of saying 2-6 weeks between roll outs, which they have now missed, they have the pressure of hearing this makes steering better, and the pressure of having said this would be out last weekend, the pressure of having sent out an email saying all cars can perpendicular park. Yet with all of that, they don't roll it to AP2 cars. Something's up, possibly just as simple as it doesn't do anything, or some new feature like perpendicular park is really broken.
Agreed, they either found some big issue on AP2 cars or have reason to suspect there might be one. Pessimistically, the update is broken. Optimistically, they're deploying to a small number of AP2 cars first and waiting to make sure everything is ok.
