I'd start to break to make sure he isn't pulling into my lane. If it seems like he's going into my lane I'd break harder and honk to get other people around us to slow down too and to hopefully have him realize he's made a mistake so he pays better attention next time.

This is the wide angle camera, so he was effectively right in front of me (10 ft @ 55 mph) when he put the pedal to the metal, probably not meaning to enter my lane.
I would provide video but the save button lost the most important bits.

I understand that is a logical deduction (in terms of using driving data from 10/1-10/7 for determining who gets the beta on 10/8), but I wouldn't rely on it. I believe Elon's initial statement (about needing 7 days to observe driving behavior) was based on his impression at that time as to the expected software release schedule. However, now that the schedule has been pushed back a week, it would not surprise me at all for that 7-day evaluation to become 14 days.
I actually expect Tesla to use the 14-day period for determining who is worthy of receiving FSD beta. It doesn't really make sense to wholly ignore valid data on an individual's driving behavior; and, most importantly, using the 14-day window will lower the number of people who, in theory, should be among the first group to receive the software.
Turn on the AP immediately. F... the safety, I need to keep my Safety Score high.

Funny you say that, because I have never done such a deed in my life. I'm usually pretty chill ... But I made an exception here and let Jefe Yun know how I felt as I slowly backed off

I honestly don't expect to get the beta anytime soon.
Even at 100 (or 99) didn't Musk say to was going to roll out like 1000/day for all the 100, THEN 1000/day for all the 99. And so on.
There are so many cars out there, even if we're only count people with FSD purchase (or subscriptions) it'll take weeks, even months to work down the list @ 1000/day.

In the meantime we are all wondering if we need to keep driving like this until our day comes. I’m right there with you.
I got a 100 today in urban driving, but I was very nearly rear-ended in a left turn out of a parking lot by a big Dodge pick-up. I had limited visibility to the right, and the pick-ip was speeding. I would have accelerated hard to avoid the collision, but that would have spoiled my daily score.
It works! Having a g-force bubble right where I can see it takes all the stress and guess work out of braking, and cornering.I'm having trouble doing enough "good" braking to cushon moments of "hard" braking. I need immediate feedback. There are a bunch of accelerometer apps out there I'll be testing this one on the way home:
I've read a lot of the posts on this thread, but maybe I missed something. Any advice on how to impove braking numbers? I'm soo close to 99 I can taste it. If I can drive really well, I might be able to round up to 100 by the 8th.
I was definitly doing a lot of braking at or under 0.1g which wasn't being counted as "good" braking, then at the very end I was braking too hard and touching 0.3g. Now that I can check my acceleration it's much easier to regulate. Honestly this is going to make me a better driver, I'm really stoked.
Drivers cutting in front of me is occasionally a problem. I try to put autopilot on whenever I think it might happen. I'd love to have a radar or something that would display my following time to the car in front. I'm getting really tired of counting 1001, 1002, 1003.. over and over. I think with practice this will be easy though.
Good luck everyone!

Not everyone wants to test fsd beta. Not every one drives carefully and looks at the safety score.
My estimate would be no more than 20k drivers are actively trying to get fsd beta. If that 1k/day rollout holds, most people who want it and have a "good" score will get within a month.
BTW, driving around my place I haven't seen any Tesla that seems to be making any effort to turn/brake slowly.
Exactly. Best case. Without anymore delays is another month.
I get that it's getting closer and closer. But it's been years man.
Getting kind of anxious here. Only to be told, another month, maybe, and only if you play obnoxiously nice.

I suspect, shortly after the initial deployment and expansion of the beta population, Tesla will take a pause in deployment, due to the new onrush of data and software updates required. Mark my words… if you don’t make it in early, with a high score and high mileage, the wait could be quite long.

It's worth mentioning that too slow/too far is ... well, it's not exactly "harmful" but it's also not good. If you're looking to milk your score, you need to be in the "windows".
I just wrote up this tips explainer for Facebook, but here as well:
tl;dr: there really isn't a good tldr, but don't use chill mode, don't use AP everywhere, don't let everyone pass you, don't take turns like granny, and count Mississippis if you're going over 50mph.
As a result, you really, really get a lot of cleanup in your scores. 100 is now in my reach
Today's score was almost entirely in rush hour traffic and a mix of city and freeway. No empty roads around here!

So, what a one month delay
The reason I cut Tesla slack is that (unlike many other companies) they are trying their best to get it out. They are spending a ton, have one of the best teams. So, if it takes more time ... its because this is bleeding edge and nobody knows how long it will take. I knew all this when I bought FSD - so no complaints.
I guess the only complaint could be overly optimistic timelines Elon keeps giving. But, without the (unrealistic) optimism, we wouldn't have had Tesla or SpaceX. We have to take the bad with the good. Its a package deal.
Coming up with a reasonable number of miles is a very slippery slope, as the nature of the miles driven is just as important (if not more important) than the number of miles driven. To play devil's advocate, one could sensibly argue that someone with 100 score who drove 10 miles per day in NYC rush hour traffic (morning and evening) should be ranked substantially higher than someone who scored a 95 but drove 100 miles on the highway during off peak hours each day.
Ultimately, as none of us truly knows how Tesla will determine who will get the FSD beta and when, we will inevitably read stories from people who (purportedly) got the FSD beta with seemingly less miles or less quality miles. While I understand there would be disappointment, it is worth remembering that this process is analogous to pursuing a job opportunity. You may think you are the most qualified and had the best interviews, but you really don't know anything about the other candidates or what the employer truly based it's decision on.
My rough estimate is that no more than 15-20% of all Teslas have FSD purchased now. This means we have about 150k or so FSD-enabled Teslas. It would be not unlikely that 100k are interested in getting the Beta, and 70-80k are trying to get it. My estimate is about 4 times higher than yours. We shell see.
