It was not terrible but the FSD Beta firmware introduced enough issues that affected Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) performance that it just was not worth the effort to continue. I realize NOA and FSD Beta are on separate stacks, however the issues noted on NOA operating through the FSD Beta firmware are not present when operating on production firmware. The issue with obstruction avoidance was noted while operating FSD Beta off highway on city streets. If the vehicle approaches an object (extended gate example) it has not been trained to recognize as a threat in the NN, it will not stop or avoid it. During my testing the vehicle would have driven right through the extended gate at 15 MPH without warning, slowing or stopping. With RADAR enabled, the vehicle alerts, and slows to a stop prior to impacting the gate. I sent several event snapshots to Tesla, so hopefully the NN will be trained on that type of gate. The question in my mind is what happens the next time it does not recognize an object as a threat? RADAR returns are not perfect but they provide a valid safety margin to vision only and are pretty hard to miss.

I’m assuming you dropped out by emailing the FSD email address? How long between the time you sent the email and you got the software update to the public track?
It took about a day and a half for the Beta team to switch my car over to the production build. I received 3 updates in rapid succession and the vehicle is now completely updated to include the new North America navigation update.
The vehicle notified there was an update available which was a production version (2022.16.3) and not FSD Beta related. After that update completed, and approximately two hours later another update appeared (2022.20.8) which is the current non FSD Beta production version. A few days later, the North America Navigation update downloaded (NA 2022.28-14046). So we are updated and good to go. Radar equipped so max speed on FSD is back to 90 MPH, minimum NoA following distance is back to 1 car length, Auto headlights no longer required while on NoA and Radar active confirmed in Service Menu.

I sent three emails. Beta has disappeared from the car, but no updates after a week, to the regular software? Contacted SC, and they sent this:

I’m with ya on that! Guess all the emails do nothing. At least Tesla doesn’t have the customer service to respond, so who’s to know. Hope it’s soon.
I am a month today from my original email.

What’s the point of opting out? Just turn off FSD Beta in the menus. All FSD eligible cars are being transitioned to Vision with 2022.24.5 anyways.
