What’s your longest FSD Trip?

[DrtyJrze]

As title states, what’s the longest trip you’ve gone on with FSD engaged? Did you have any issues? What type of driving conditions (road, time of day, etc.)?

Didn’t have to be on 100% of the time, but at least 90%.

My longest so far was a few trips of about 20 miles, day and night 100% engaged in light to moderate traffic until off ramp.

I did have one trip where the car phantom braked and scared the crap out of me though.

I assume you mean NOA. I commute 150 miles on the interstate several times a week using NOA without stops. Meaning I get on the interstate and let the car do the driving. Occasionally I have to correct what the car wants to do, but that's rare. I have done longer trips but 150 miles is about the longest I would go without stopping to charge.

Hmm. My longest LSD trip...

Oh, sorry. I misread the question.

Groovy........

I should add that traffic is not really a thing here in Montana but, nevertheless, the NOA does fine in what traffic we have.

3,300 miles but there was about 300 miles I had it off because of the speed restriction and canyon carving. God Bless Utah. I actually drove 29 hours straight and there was no way I would have done that without NOA.

Hi DrtyJrze,

I am a model X owner recently upgraded to HW3 for FSD.
My longest drive for FSD and NOA was 1300 miles.
Mostly on the interstate but 100 miles on long stretches of non interstate...
It was great!!! Very relaxing over multiple days...
From south Michigan to South Florida...
Conditions: Night, day, dry, but not very wet...

It has handled lane changes very nicely.
It occasionally did its ping pong trick - I could not identify a reason for the ping pong.
It was not frequent and did the ping pong both on auto steering only and on NOA...

The FSD handled the mountains through Kentucky and Tennessee very well.
Passing trucks through the curves - it performed very well.

One other peculiarity - it likes the center lane of three and passes to the left,
returns to the center and stays there...
It does not bother me much. When I wish to return to the right lane
I use the turn signal to "force" it into the right lane...

I will make the return trip Wednesday and I am looking forward to the trip...

Shawn

That’s amazing! I was asking because I was thinking about a trip to Florida (17hours). It’s not a difficult drive, just long and boring. I’m sure FSD can handle it and would help with fatigue.

Wow some real road warriors in here! Salute!

 

[Mrcarcrazy]

~365miles each way when I went for window tint and PPF. (NOA the vast majority of it). I would love to see the specs for how many miles I’ve driven in autopilot because I’m knocking on 11k miles and id wager 90+% of that is in regular autopilot.

30,000 miles and it's been on over 90% of the time.

It works better on long trips than daily commutes

I posted on Twitter/Instagram our trip to Florida over the holidays from Michigan. Granted, I could have done a better job at organizing the posts, all of the information is there for our trip. I used NOA as much as possible for this trip. The drive back was similar but split between 3 days. Round trip was about 2,600 miles on NOA.

 

[McFlurri]

0km as FSD isn't out yet.

Drove from NH to Disneyworld (Orlando FL) last thanksgiving. I think that round trip was around 2,700. Vast majority of that was on AP.

 

[Bill Foster]

about 180 miles.


it is a GOD SEND in stop and go traffic

2,800 miles NOA from Denver to Louisville then down to Nashville and back home.

I’m sure FSD can handle it and would help with fatigue.

In my 64 years, I've never had a more relaxing road trip. We've all been doing it all our lives, but never had anything else to compare it to. It came clear to me the amount of mental effort driving takes on that trip. All the little things like staying between the lines, the speed, the situational awareness. So much you can off-load to the car now. Just monitoring the car's operation is so much easier!

I'll add a 500 mile each way trip this coming weekend.

drive ~400 miles each way from SoCal to NorCal a few times per year. EAP on nearly all the way. (Don't use NOA -- too annoying in SoCal traffic.)

Mostly interstate.

Auto-steer, TACC, and auto-lane change work great.

The only issue is phantom breaking once per trip. But not a big deal as all one has to do is hit the accelerator.

Why not turn NoA on when you leave the state of SoCal and enter NoCal???

I'm afraid NOA will try to dock with the mothership when we get near Palo Alto.
