Is it worth reporting bugs?

[DblOSmith]

I still report bugs, particularly phantom braking, by hitting voice assistant and saying "Bug report: phantom braking" and it goes through. Is it even worth doing that? In this age of AI learning everything, does reporting like this even do anything?

Those "bug reports" actually don't make it to Tesla. When you bring your car in for service, the tech will dump those to see if it's connected to your problem but they are not sent to the mothership (and apparently never were).

However, if you have FSDb and turn off FSDb, you get the chance to tell them why you disconnected. To my understanding, those are sent to Tesla when your car is connected to your network.

I'm got a model 3 and it's so frustrating how many minor issues are not solved. I wonder, as Tesla won't listen, whether it would be a good idea to set up a public bug tracker FOR them, and we can post to it?

Indeed, it looks like others have had the same idea - sorry for the uninformed comment.
For anyone else who finds this later,
This seems to be the main thread for bug reports:
Bug & Issue Reporting
while these are earlier ideas, which should probably feed into it:
GitHub - penguian/tesla-issues-discussion: Third party reporting and tracking of issues with Tesla software
Issues · teslacommunity/tesla-bugs
Issues · penguian/tesla-issues-discussion

I'll upload my own list of bugs now...
