So I've had the Model 3 for a few days now, and have taken a couple opportunities to try out EAP on the freeway. I've never driven or even ridden in an S/X with AP1 or 2, so trying out the 3 has been my only AP experience so far.
My first experience was very positive, a lengthy drive home from Fremont where (after a brief calibration) I was able to use AP for most of the trip, probably 25 miles or more. A lot of it was slow bay area commute traffic, and almost all of it was completely straight, so while this wasn't a big challenge, it handled it with aplomb. I was impressed at this point.
In the following days, I've attempted to use it on some more challenging freeway, specifically 101 as it travels through central Marin. The stretch of freeway I've tested on has a lot of moderate curves and hills. So far, I've had autosteer disengage on virtually every curve when traveling 60mph or above - at some point during the curve it will start to hug one side or the other of the lane, possibly do a couple abrupt jerks to try to center itself, and then eventually give up and have me take over. This is in broad daylight, if that effects performance. After a few attempts where the car can't stay in its lane for more than 20 seconds, I've now given up on it until further updates.
Is this pretty typical of AP2 cars? Useful only in slow and/or straight stretches of road?
