New article on Notateslaapp.com (
Tesla FSD Beta v12 Auto Parks, Completes U-Turns, But Removes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control Ability ) says that TACC won't be available on FSD v12 - or at least not initially. Article explains that you'll be able to use TACC only by going into a submenu to switch off FSD - which you can't do while driving.
For me, this is a huge reason not to download v12. I rarely use FSD now - and never when my wife is in the car (ahem) - because it's so twitchy. Too many pointless lane changes, balking on curves or in traffic, sudden slowdowns for no reason (which are better than old-style phantom braking, but still), misreading speed limit signs, etc. TACC has its own occasional hiccups, of course. Like many, I've often wished that an option for a simple, "dumb" cruise control was available. All that whining aside, taking away the option of falling back to TACC when FSD is acting up is a huge loss, and a good reason not to download or use v12.
No matter the rosy predictions, I think we all doubt seriously that v12 will be perfect right out of the box. In fact, it'll probably be a hot mess, at least for the first few sub-versions.
Or am I just being old and grumpy?
