12.3.4 is great! However, it is annoyingly bad at ending trips at a charger or parking lot. In my experience, it slows down, begins jerky steering wheel movements as if unsure what to do, and I always have to take over. It would seem it would be possible to train it to go into a charging area...

I've been using FSD 12.3.3 now for several days, including a 700 mile freeway drive. It's much better IMHO than 11.x.x. It slides a bit sideways when you're passing a truck, moves left to give a biker or jogger room, moves out of the passing lane if someone approaches you from behind, seems to...

I received the free month trial of FSD 12.3.2.1, and have been trying it in our rural area. It is a huge improvement over 11! Even on our two lane twisty rural WA roads, it performs nearly flawlessly. Gone are the overly wide taking of sharp curves. It now slows appropriately for sharp corners...

I received notice that 12.3.2.1 was available to me. It took about 25 minutes to download, then changed to a 'Install Software' button. I parked Tessie and triggered the install. Yesterday, I FSD beta'd with 11.4.6, which by itself was a big improvement on what I was using last summer (I'm gone...

Ah. I now have a Slate AX(GL-AXT1800) travel router that only draws 9 watts, and can be plugged into the 15 W Tesla USB-C port for its power. Tessie oddly has no 120v outlet, only a 16A 12V outlet.

Does a Model Y have a 120v power plug to power the pocket router?

TDS is our only wired internet source, via phone lines, in rural Washington, and they are so expensive and bad I finally quit them. We are in an odd spot that Starlink doesn’t serve, plus now you can’t suspend it and as I am abroad 6 months a year, it’s pricey. I’m going to try the ‘travel...

I live in a rural WA area with no WiFi. I’m about to go on an 8,000 mile two month road trip, and need a full software update including FSD beta. We have good internet available at all our libraries, but Tesla chooses to not allow connecting to systems requiring a log-on (it would be easy: all...

I live in a rural area in Washington State. Tesla does not understand the speed rules. On most country two lane roads, 50mph is the default speed. As you say, they commonly sign ‘Reduce speed to 25mph’for school zone. Then ‘end of 25mph zone’ rather than new speed. So Tesla usually thinks the...

I find having to look down to monitor nags so you won’t be disconnected to be unsafe. Either a heads up indicator or audio signal would be better. I’m a pilot, and you have to do so much scanning that things are (in the best planes) arranged to accommodate that safely. I really don’t understand...

I have the same problem. Tesla sales just told me to make a service appointment where they plug car in rather than use their WiFi, which (as you say) requires login and won’t work. Libraries, same problem. I’ll try the service appointment route next month. Not good for Teslas off on long road trips!

I have no idea, as my Y is stored in a metal building in rural WA without a decent WiFi connection. Tesla does seem to manage some communication with the vehicle through cellular signal, but not enough to do updates. But, as with computers, it probably is as safe to drive as it was with what it...

Does that mean it will do its own lane changes to pass and return without drive prompting?

I’ve been abroad for 4 months, my 2023 Y LR up on blocks awaiting my return. I subscribed for several months and found FSD helpful on long freeway drives of thousands of miles around the West. However, the frequent ‘nagging’ struck me as unsafe, as it requires you to watch the screen rather than...

Mine is the same settings. I get regular software updates automatically, but not FSB Beta latest versions. I've now driven 8000 miles. I've quit subscribing to FSB until they let subscribers have the latest updates to FSB Beta. They will not say if/when this will happen.
