Miles on AP count, the only thing AP won't do is bring down your dings (need to do manual driving for that). If you drive all day on AP and get 100 score with 100 miles you're solid. But if you start the day with some dings and drive rest of the day on AP those dings won't decrease.
10/22, Elon plays games with Fridays. It's not yesterday Friday but next Friday.
You should be thankful, for many of us - we've never recovered from an invisible Forward Collision Warning...Hard braking is just heart breaking.
Last night I planned to go on a short drive (about three miles) to the gym. Shortly after I left the house, I realized I forgot my water bottle; since I had just left, I figured I would just turn around to get the bottle.
In the roundabout, I saw a stupid squirrel standing in the middle of the road; I slow down (using the brake pedal - you can see the car is hardly slowing down) and honked the horn to scare him out of the road. (see videos - do you see the squirrel?) (hint, it's only visible in the front and left camera)

I didn't even think to consider that a hard braking event (going barely 15-20 miles an hour), however once I got home I instinctively checked my SS. To my surprise I scored 78 (7.4% hard breaking) on that one mile drive. What?!
I was a little upset, however on my way to the gym I did several regen slowdowns to bring my score back up; now I was sitting on a 4-mile drive and a 96. F***!!
On the 3-mile back, I did several accelerate to 60 and slow down to 20 regen events, only to find out that my score got only back up to 99.
To get back to 100 and recover from that heart breaking event it took an additional 10 miles of constant accelerate to 60 slow down to 20, over and over and over.
Tesla measures (not for safety score) how hard the breaks are applied. I wonder why they could not use this instead of some accelerometer measure that does not take into account the angle of the car. Maybe the latter is just easier.
Don’t know why they’d make it a 30-day window if they were not going to continue to observe scores.
Probably not since I got mine yesterday on a 100 that I earned after last Friday's Snapshot. Tesla must have taken a new Snapshot Thursday (Oct 14) sometime. In all likelihood they will take another Snapshot at some (unknown) time next week provided they add 99s then.
I went through the same nonsense, downhill to go anywhere, I literally had to take it at 5-10 mph to avoid any dings.
Those of us living in the hilly Seattle area, can relate.....
Yeah, yellow lights are a real problem. Assuming there is no car in front of you, do you accelerate to make the light, or light off and GOD FORBID BRAKE to stop before the intersection. This exercise I think is making us all WORSE drivers.Welcome to my life, my daily score today is 76 because I did some mild to moderate braking for a yellow light on a 6 lane 4 way intersection. Should've just blown it according to Tesla's Safety Score
Easiest way to recover is to crank it up to like 80-100mph and then light hold ride out the brakes to increase "time braking" to dilute the hard braking.
Wish I could--the street I have to travel to leave my house has no lines, so no AutoSteer available. It will brake using TACC, does anyone know if TACC braking is a ding?
