If Tesla takes away someone’s beta, they should charge them $10k again. It’s easy money and teaches people a hard lesson to not adjust the A/C while using FSD.

Conspiracy time:
What if Tesla knows the 100/99 safety score is impossible / BS but they use it as a gate to only allow the "super users" who are acutely aware of how the car works?

If I wanted to be disappointed I would stay up with you guys but knowing how this goes with Tesla and radio silence from EM on Twitter, not very confident about the roll out tonight. Seems like a big 36.5.1 roll out today though.
Is 36.5.1 only going out to be we haven’t signed up for the beta, or don’t have FSD?
There’s a lot of people on 2021.21.22 that aren’t getting any updates at the moment.
Yea, button pushers are stuck on 32.22 until they get beta then they slide to 32.25 or 32.26 depending on vehicle. Who knows if beta 10.3 will include the .36.x changes or if we’ll just all miss out on those updates until later
I will wait until 1 am texas time. I am going to bed at 11pm LA time
While we are waiting I have a question for folks.
If I hit sudden traffic and I'm cruising at 65-70 mph I usually hit the brakes until I get close and then turn AP back on (before Safety Score paranoia)
If I don't hit the brakes it comes in uncomfortably hot.
But if I modestly brake hard or come in a little to close I get dinged for hard braking and following to close.
So what I have been doing is quickly nudging the set speed WAY down so that it doesn't come in hot and stays on good terms with "Safety Score" by staying on AP.
It's a PITA to do in stop and go traffic. The alternative is total manual driving which will surely ding me for hard braking and following to close. Or trust that AP will stop. But I've read some cases it won't stop if coming in hot and it does not see immanant bodily injury.
What have folks been doing?
I'm at 99 with around 1000 miles.

Sadly for you I think they’ve been doing it around midnight or later Los Angeles time.

You obviously own more Tesla shares than I do!
Same. Playing spin the wheel. Or hold the accelerator and pop off AP for a controlled slow if I see it early enough. But it’s risky. I’ve gotten good at big accelerations and decelerations with the wheel. But I don’t think it’s very safe so I’ve only been doing it with low traffic, late night. Plan to do the same with the beta at least in the first few days to really understand its behavior.
Agree. If I’m Musk I’m thinking let’s release when there’s less traffic on the web and on the streets.
Let people tinker with it on Saturday for the first time. And not on their regular commute. Or on a late night outing.
Before the safety score, I was not very good at the scroll wheel thing. I mainly used AP for the slow moving traffic in freeways downtown. When it finally moves AP will take the sharp bends with full speed and i get scared and disengage by turning the steering. But now with the safety score i cannot disengage so I learned to start using the wheel more efficiently.
How am I doing it ? There is a time lag when you use the wheel. So for curves on the freeway I am watching the map and get ready early to compensate for the time lag. For traffic I am looking far ahead and hit the scroll wheel early enough so that when the AP finally brakes its much gentler. I have the following distance set to 3 car lengths. One car length is too scary.
The safety score made me an expert on AP. May be that was their intention ? training us the monkeys using a stimulus (the beta). I did two trips on AP this week 200 miles each way with no disengagements.
I am not going to be so confident on the streets with unprotected lefts and less margin of error etc . We will see... Fingers crossed !
Part of me holding out hope that since each time it’s released it seems to be more efficient / automatic - stay up late!!
The other is thinking - ok there might be more complexity now. And deciding what to push when. Go to sleep and hope you don’t wake up until the email comes out
Blasted Tesla. Almost as bad as waiting for the car to arrive after ordering. Like flippin Disney world for full grown geeks.
Oddly enough I feel the AP wears out my brakes because it’ll come in hot and then jam them up. That type of stunt would definitely cost me some hard braking dings but AP gets away with it, also wears out my brakes, because when I stop I 99% of the time regen to a complete stop.
I’ll report in at 7am eastern, 6am central, 5am mountain, or 4am pacific on whether I got it or not.
Over 1300 miles driven. Model Y. Various roads highways and expressway . Safety Score 99. Beta way to accomplish good score is to drive on AP as much as it will allow.

The FCW was probably because you did the right thing and hit the brakes, which of course switched the FCW to you. Go figure.
