I just got an FSD offer… :)

[dho112]

After almost a year of wishing I could try FSD, and then recently giving up on that, today as I was heading home from work I got a popup that said essentially, “Hey, wanna try FSD?” lol!

How could I say no? Punched in home on the Nav, aimed it at the lot exit and let it go.

6 miles later, about 10 minutes of freeway, another 10 of suburban streets with a mix of larger intersections, busier thoroughfares lots of stop signs and traffic lights and Voila! Home safe and sound lol!

A little jerky at times, but no mistakes

Is this offer widespread right now? Or did I win the FSD lottery? lol!

Free?

I can see this being a thing before a large discount for an end of quarter push. I'm just talking out my rear though.

I’m actually in the middle of an FSD subscription month right now (went to LA and got it for a month for freeways, parking, lane change etc), but never had navigate on city streets till the offer.

I really like the FSD view onscreen even when not using FSD. It’s zoomed out much more and you see a more complete area surrounding the car with greater detail

 

[heavymetalm8r]

Oh so you got offered to get the beta version as you were currently a non-beta FSD subscriber? I thought you meant you won the $15k FSD lottery.

So no free trial. That's what it sounded like originally.

 

[heavymetalm8r]

Oh ok. I'm looking forward to single stack. I won't subscribe until that's available. I have EAP.

So.......NOT an FSD offer and NOT win the FSD Beta lotto. Clicked on thread thinking it was about an FSD offer but.......

Are you saying you never bothered trying "navigate on city streets" until the "offer" appeared? Because if you have the FSD subscription, you have had the ability to "navigate on city streets" all along. The car was probably puzzled as to why you had not bothered to use it!

as I always suspected, there are tesla owners out there who have FSD and never knew about FSDb, safety score qualifications, etc. And now that it's "wide", there's still people who don't know they can just request FSDb. It's actually somewhat assuring that there are people out there who don't follow Tesla and Musk like a hawk.

Love this! On the flip side, it's also scary that people are allowed to use FSD-b without even seeing what it does well and what it does badly.

Agree. I expect that some new FSDb drivers will make unrealistic assumptions about the software

I bought my used 21 M3 SR+ about 10 days ago, subscribed to FSD. I've entered the FSD Beta Queue but haven't heard anything further. I don't see any option to enable FSD on my autopilot screen, just the button I used to enter the queue. I thought it was supposed to be available to everyone now?

That would be great!!! No, just a preview of the beta during a non beta subscribe

Color me absolutely clueless! This is only the second time I have done the subscription to FSD. The first time I did it a month after getting the car and the option for Navigating on City Streets was greyed out and said "coming soon" and I had all the other "stuff" like summon, lane change, autopark etc. At that point I thought that would be the same this second time I've done the subscription and didn't even look! I guess it's changed since the beginning of last year at least in my particular area.

You're probably right though, the car was probably wondering why I never turned it on even halfway through the subscription! I guess it sensing that and giving me a heads up is a positive thing about the software It could have just let that go and I would have gone all the way through the month being none the wiser that I had the option!

At any rate. Having fun playing with it currently I did another drive home from work and again, it worked perfectly, better than it did yesterday for some reason (It was a bit more assertive around traffic making it more "human-like" without begin scary or jerky...

I like it so far!

It gets worse. I know a guy who stood in line to put his deposit down back when the M3 was announced, got his M3 in early 2018... a few months ago, I was like why don't you use the phone as a key... he said, "The phone as a what now?"

This goes double for auto park, sentry mode, summon, etc.

To be fair, back then, phone-as-key had a lot of issues

ITT:
OP posts about getting an offer to "try out FSD"
Later states they have an active FSD subscription;
Everyone was trolled

What software version are you running? Sounds like you have FSD beta software and just dont have the navigate on city streets beta enabled in settings.

In case you didn't know, a change from after FSD Beta 10.69.25, wide release 10.69.25.1 introduced an in-vehicle tip to turn on FSD Beta:

Scary? Wait until they start hanging weights off the steering wheel.
