It's my understanding that Early Access Program folks are specifically prohibited by non-disclosure agreeement from having things like TeslaFi installed. I don't think you're going to see 2020.44 pop up there. And when it does, it won't be 2020.44, that versions will be updated again before going live.
2020.40.4 isn't the update you're looking for. I have that update, and my car still can't make 90-degree turns by itself, and it still needs permission to go through green lights unless there's a car in front of me that's going through the green light. Frankly, when true FSD arrives, I think they're going to have to use some other method of figuring out whether the driver is paying attention rather than exerting force on the steering wheel. When the car is making a 90-degree turn, the steering wheel has to turn a lot. Having the driver hold the steering wheel during a 90-degree turn seems difficult.
Holy crap, the vids showing up on Twitter look exactly like the images Karpathy has been showing. I’m insanely excited and also terrified.
LOL. I'm hoping they go by the maximum number of manual disconnects in a single one-hour period over the lifetime of the vehicle. I'm pretty sure my record on CA-17 was triple digits in those 26 miles. In all seriousness, though, I'd kill to be able to try this out in a few weeks. I'm going on a long road trip, and could really put it through the paces.

It will be worth even more once it's our of Beta and is actual FSD (i.e. no driver required, Tesla responsible for damage caused by FSD mistakes, summon up to range of the car). Until then, it's still just a toy, not worth the money, at least to me. I do hope that all this progress fixes the phantom braking and speed sign recognition for EAP, so it brings highway lane keeping and sign recognition on part with AP1. I use AP1 on highways, but in AP2 car phantom braking makes it unusable to me.
Interesting perspective, highway autopilot is a total game changer for me currently and I suppose that the supervised city streets version will also be a game changer for my commute. Better buy it now than pay more later. I also locked in some more FSD options for future car reservations, might be better than stock options at this point ;-)
Wow I was hoping for more than a weekends notice of the price change, Bought a model Y one month ago without FSD as the price needed to be below 55k to get an NJ state $5,000 rebate. I told the wife we have plenty of time, and they usually give you a month warning before the price changes. Little nervous now ... Hoping we can make it happen before the price goes up 25% from 8,000 to 10,000 wow
Tesla totally sandbagged this tech. So great. This is what happens. Something seems impossible until it’s suddenly possible.
It's a beta, so they want users who are extra attentive and can recover from FSD mistakes better than most. FSD system is probably also learning from drivers, so wants better examples to mimic.
Patience. Let's start with long-haul boredom-inducing trips. Each year I make a 3000 mile round trip to Canada - 90% of the trip is desperately trying to stay awake/focused on well-defined long [mostly] straight roads with a few easy transitions. I'll handle the complex sections myself fine, it's the stark raging dull stretches that I really want FSD for. Once enough people start using FSD, traffic patterns should start shifting & improving enough to actually facilitate extended use of FSD (along with the tech just plain smarter) - more vehicles behaving in a more mechanically predictable manner will make traversing London etc much more practical ... at which point public sentiment shifts, and human-driven cars are prohibited save for special-training licenses.
