Yes, but you're only racking up miles, and you're not racking up good events. That's what I was getting at. You want plenty of good events.basically if you're on Autopilot, you're good.

Yes, this has been my experience too. Really can't use the brakes. Mine are probably rusting at this point.
Haha, you are trying to mess up my score.Set regen to LOW (assuming you have the setting? I never lost it) and then you can wipe some rust off without getting dinged

Agreed. But I’m still going to work my Safety Score. Brakes be damned!It's hard to read all of this and think "yep, that safety score is a good representation of a driver's safety, and I sure am glad the person next to me on the highway in that Tesla is worried about their score rather than actually driving safely so they can become one of the chosen ones"
I'm pretty sure that one of my hard-braking demerits was when I stopped short in my driveway, at low speed. There was no danger of collision in that situation; I just hit the brake pedal a little harder than was necessary. I'm not complaining about this, mind you; I'm just posting it to illustrate that even a very common, and perfectly safe, event can count against your safety score.You said ALMOST always on Autopilot, means you are coming out of AP and touching on the brakes to slow down. Try NOT touching the brake pedal for an entire drive. Like 0 taps of the brake pedal. I suspect you've made it harder for yourself by switching to low regen. Which means you have to use the brake pedal all day.
Any time i touch the brakes if it's hard or soft, it nails me. If I don't touch the brake pedal AT ALL, i get a perfect braking score.
Most days, I have my doubts that the drivers next to me care about driving safely at all.It's hard to read all of this and think "yep, that safety score is a good representation of a driver's safety, and I sure am glad the person next to me on the highway in that Tesla is worried about their score rather than actually driving safely so they can become one of the chosen ones"
As we're talking about a beta-test program, not a release version of the software, I wouldn't worry too much about it, either.
These are combined to estimate the likelihood that your driving could result in a future collision.
Finally got the Android update through the Google Play Store to see my Safety Score. I have a 97 so far.
A bit curious why I got dinged so much for unsafe following since I tried to be very careful about that. But oh well. 97 ain't too bad.
The following distance limits are hilariously over-cautious. Commuting in Miami without violating them is near-impossible. I routinely get a 50% percent (or more) penalty on following distance, commuting every day, and I’m still at a 97 overall.
Also, you can definitely m use the service brakes without getting dinged. Obviously you can’t get deep into them, but they’re absolutely available without getting into the penalty zone.
@diplomat33 No Tesla FSD soup for you!Finally got the Android update through the Google Play Store to see my Safety Score. I have a 97 so far.

Welcome to the (admittedly frustrating) game! As MrYenko stated, follow distance is very cautious, the easiest way to avoid is to put your car in AP above 50mph, and find an empty lane if you need to get out of Autopilot.Thanks
Tesla (and their model) seems to think so.Is braking hard, turning hard, or triggering FCW dangerous in an absolute sense?
If you're concerned with safety score, don't use that method. Disengage Autopilot with the stalk rather then the brake pedal.As soon as you tap the brake to come out of autopilot
The follow distance is deceptive. Think of it as a fraction with the numerator being the number of seconds you are 1 second or less behind a car. The denominator is the number of seconds you are 0 to 3 seconds behind a car.I got dinged for follow distance on a drive where I used TACC set to 6. In fact it said I was too close 60% of the time. The drive was an hour long on the highway without any cars on the on or off ramps or local streets on my way home.
Their system is definitely weird.
