Model X (only) - FSD beta

[VValleyEV]

While there aren't that many Model X's with FSD beta yet it does present some different issues from other models (especially the 3 & Y).
I hope this thread will be useful for those of us using FSD beta on a Model X.

The first issue I noticed was that the display no longer shows the last speed limit sign that the vehicle observed. Previously I referred to that quite often and find that I really miss it. Here are images with FSD beta 10.2 on and then with it off.

Is this MX a “refreshed” model with horizontal screen, or a “legacy” model with vertical screen? I just got 10.8 on my 2018 S100D, verical screen of course, and have the same issue, current speed limit disappears from display behind steering wheel when enabling AP.

SO, if your MX is a refreshed model with horizontal screen, has the issue with speed limit display missing been fixed in 10.8 for you?

Unrelated issue: How high can a rocket that size travel before parachuting back to Earth? How many stages? Pretty neat.

After Post #184 response: cool!

Wow. Obviously the launch area is not near any local airports or designated airplane flight paths!

We have a rural place between Davis and Woodland, California where enthusiasts (used to) fly model planes (which I understand can be pretty large and sophisticated). But since we are close to Sacramento International Airport flight paths, I doubt if any small rocket launches are permitted around here.

So I am guessing that the Model X serves to haul a small trailer with rocket equipment? Interesting pastime. Happy holidays!

Hi @tps5352 ,

That particular rocket has traveled just short of 24,000 feet.
It reaches that altitude in 45 seconds. Just over Mach 1.3
Single stage. Drogue parachute descends at 60 mph for
roughly 4.5 minutes. Main parachute deploys at 1200 feet.
Tracking is by radio beacon and now by GPS.

Thanks for asking,

Shawn

Mine is a early 2021 Model X LR+ (5-seater). I am sitting here debating whether to download 2021.44.25.6 as I write this. I guess I might as well bite the bullet and get it over with...

The first issue I noticed was that the display no longer shows the last speed limit sign that the vehicle observed. Previously I referred to that quite often and find that I really miss it. Here are images with FSD beta 10.2 on and then with it off.

I agree. My 'gut' tells me that that is something which will be corrected in future versions.

...a “legacy” model with vertical screen...

When I ordered my already built inventory car from Hawaii on January 29th I knew this day was coming... (I had to Google the exact meaning in this context: 'legacy' -- "denoting or relating to software or hardware that has been superseded but is difficult to replace because of its wide use.")

Hi @tps5352 ,

I installed this afternoon...
A few odds and ends to get used to.

We, unfortunately, got 2 inches of wet heavy snow this afternoon.
I was looking forward to trying 10.8
In my mixed rural driving 10.6.1 was OK.
50 miles to Lake Michigan with 3 to 5 interventions.

It will have to wait as the slushy snow is not right for FSD.

I look forward to using it next month to drive to sunny Florida.

Yes. Like several western states we're generally in drought conditions in California. But with recent heavy rain I found that FSD Beta wisely doesn't function in the wet.

So, just did a quick drive with 10.8... 10 miles, 55mph, 5 red lights. Did okay. According to the energy graph, it barely used regen at all. It would wait until last minute, and then slam on the friction brakes. No different from the past few versions, but the lack of regen just got me wondering why it doesn't use it?

 

[laceyboy]

Do you mean "lack of regen" that the vehicles used more brake than regen?

 

[laceyboy]

I haven't had a chance to try out FSD yet since all roads here are covered in snow/ice under sub zero conditions

Have you been updated to FSD beta 10.8 (2021.44.25.6), and if so I assume the issue is still there?

Sure strange that they have not fixed this problem in the any of the FSD updates since 10.2. I think with 10.8 there are now a whole lot more legacy MS/MX on FSD beta so maybe it will get fixed soon, he said hopefully …

Yes, we do get waypoints and you can also edit them

Waypoints are the best!!!

Waypoints are the best!!!

What I am trying to figure out is, what is required to arrive at a waypoint, then continue. My car stopped at the waypoint, but refused to continue on with the trip!

Have you tried waypoint before V11?
I haven't tried waypoint of V11 but V10 was working perfect.

Waypoint was new with V11 (I thought). If it is working perfect, what do you have to do when you reach a waypoint and want to continue?

Waypoint was introduced with 2021.40.x release. There is button to continue the trip or it starts next trip automatically after you get out and back in.

I did not see a Continue Trip button appear. I will try it again.

 

[laceyboy]

Just tried waypoints.

 

[laceyboy]

After getting out and back in, it shows the next trip without touching Continue Trip button.

Interesting, I was using it to determine if I could detour while in route to a destination. I hope next destination would be ready for navigation upon placing the car in drive.
