I dabbled with sport steering setting but found it took more effort to keep AP happy, and honestly didn't feel sportier to me (just underboosted - the steering ratio is already great, and the steering settings only adjust amount of assist / boost). With standard steering, I can just barely put some torque on the steering wheel by sort of "leaning in" to either the left or the right against the wheel with my index finger, with my hand resting on the wheel. Very minimal effort required. On v8 anyways, still don't have v9, so if they made it naggier... who knows. So I'd suggest trying standard steering and see if that makes your AP nags less of a hassle.

Hey gang, just a quick v9 blindspot story.
On the day I installed the update I was on the highway and was in the left lane. I had just passed an on ramp and signaled to move to the right lane. The car got halfway over and suddenly the car jerked back into the left lane. I was trying to figure out what had happened when the car that was barreling down the on ramp went zooming by me in the right lane. I would have never seen the guy but auto pilot did. This is pretty great stuff even with its limitations and bugs. Glad I have it for sure.

My Dashcam corrupts my jump drive if I leave it on. The only way to keep my jump drive from corrupting and having to unplug it everyday, is to turn the Dashcam off when I get home (hard to remember).
LTE was off almost the whole day yesterday, maps worked but no real-time traffic.

I'm going to try to pause the recording before I leave the car. Hopefully that'll stop the drive from getting corrupted.

My car is in the shop getting the MCU PANEL replace (yellow trim). They will put in the latest firmware but if 2018.40 is not going to out to more cars I might not get it. I am on 2018.39.6. I mentioned the 2 40's yesterday on TeslaFI and they said it will depend on my VIN on weather my car will get it. That and a few other reasons my car might not get it. Like they send out to limited cars for testing. I understand the last part but surprised about the VIN reason. Will see when I get my car back. Hoping today. However, it does not see that 40 is anything special.
Still waiting for Tesla to resend me the update after pulling it. Sigh. I really am going to have Tesla send it to me while my car is getting PPF and tint, and pulling it from me before I get the car back, aren’t I? I fear that would really piss me off and I pity the poor CS rep who answers my call 
You're not alone. Haven't gotten mine either. I would bet we're waiting to see how .40 does
Yea, I guess its not by VIN, my vin is 8XXX, OG rear seats still lol.
Anyone know if we can get over LTE?

They have a lot of bugs to fix on version 9 and they still need to release auto change lane on navigation.
I find being nice to people gets more than yelling at someone who had nothing to do with what you’re complaining about.Still waiting for Tesla to resend me the update after pulling it. Sigh.

Each to their own I suppose.

EAP is definitely smoother with lane changes and acceleration and deceleration. Of note is the much smarter reaction to cars that cut in front of you and compromise your gap....autopilot no longer over reacts like a teenage driver. Yeah! But, it is quite a bit more squirrely when lane markers change on non freeways. I was genuinely surprised by how swirvy the car become at spots and it was quite confused at moments that V8 would have been fine with. Certainly babysit V9 on these types of roads until things improve!
I was kidding. I have almost never actually yelled at a CS rep, outside of one incident when I was in my 20s and too stupid to know any better. I know they’re just doing their jobs and aren’t at fault for whatever issue I’m dealing with.

Similar story on my V9 night-time drive home last night. I was in the center freeway lane and signaled to move to the left lane. The car got half-way over and jerked back for no apparent reason. A second later I saw a parked car on the left shoulder (unlit area; no hazard lights) which would have been uncomfortably close had the lane change completed as intended.
