So, I have found it interesting that Chuck Cook has drawn enough of an audience to get direct TSLA response, and test cars in his neighborhood. While I trust people like Chuck can find more things to feature in videos, there are a number that I would like him and other public testers to get evidence of, feature, and drive improvement. What have you noted as a consistent issue that you would like featured on these channels? I am thinking to add comments to youtubers videos and ask for these things. Chuck has been good about responding so I know he will at least look and/or read.
Railroad tracks: I have never noted a slow down for potential or actual bumpiness in the road. Where I live most are asphalt roads right up to the track. Roads with concrete pad at the tracks seem to be smoother. I fear scraping the bottom of the car "landing" on the other side.
School buses! My road has a railroad track. A bus was stopped at the railroad track with lights flashing and the car tried to pass the stopped school bus.
Improper or annoying lane change. We note strange times where the car tries to change lanes without reason. Figured a pattern out last night. Situation was a divided road, two lanes each side, with periodic turn lane (left of the passing lane). I think the car quickly reads this as a third traffic lane, signals to get in the left/middle lane. The turn lane quickly disappears and the car goes back to the right lane. This looks and feels erratic. Perhaps the car should wait longer before thinking there is a third lane of traffic.
Better on and off ramp swerving when already on the highway. Does this really need to be explained to anyone?
We have one specific highway intersection, cloverleaf design. Basically we want to go from North on highway A, to west on highway B. We travel on A, go under B, loop around 3/4 of a circle to the on ramp at the top of grade. On and off ramp are a bit jammed up. The car has so far NEVER exited the onramp onto highway B. Left to itself it wants to follow the off ramp off B to end up travelling South on highway A, the opposite direction of where we were coming from.
Do you agree with these, have you experienced them?
What else do they need to put forth in public so TSLA will change FSD?
