I am 76 and not a math major--or a tech expert. We purchased our 2020 Tesla Model 3 in good faith and signed on with extra pay for the FSD. This was early on in development. We were in the Beta program awhile back but not driving enough to get decent scores. We got frustrated and dropped out. Now we all have access to FSD. I am willing to try it out, but am a bit apprehensive after reading and listening to the discussions . I am totally into safety. I do not see the point of trying to "cheat" the system and keep my hands on the wheel. I guess I am frustrated with it all--but will persist. I wish there was not so much blaming and attacking when folks discuss their experiences. I come to this forum to hear about others' experiences and perhaps to get some tips and suggestions.
Stay safe, everyone.

A well thought post. You have to remember that the majority of people have a good experience. There are hundreds of thousands of Teslas on the road today and a small number on these forums venting their frustration. Most people, if they are having a good experience don't normally seek out forums to express that unless they are enthusiasts. The majority of people I know who own Teslas don't even know the capabilities of their car, nor do they do regular software updates. They treat them like any other car they've owned and are happy driving them around.

Be careful when testing, and know it's still Beta, and is an assistance feature and not autonomous.

I think what they were getting at is right turns are not smooth. It turns,maybe jerks back and forth a few times then complete the right turn, which I can easily do with my right finger without thinking

True, Right turns are not seemless. Right left right left then finally right and it usually makes a big L not a smooth curive

I'm 71, was a computer science major and professional. I was thinking about it today as I was trying to make a cross lane turn I kept having to look left and right and then judge based upon the speed of cars from both directions could I make it in. There is just too much intuition involved and judging car speeds for FSD to figure it out. I think they really need more processing power devoted to doing many moves ahead scenario like chess players
