    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    Or rather: "Dnirk mcuch¿" The irony is that thyname seems to struggle with simple spelling. :)

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    My favorite Abby Normal behavior is when you arrive at your destination, hit End Trip (not Park) and wait about 2 seconds - FSD starts driving with no destination in mind.

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    Yes, I came close to a school zone and even though there were no busses or kids around, I still disengaged until I was well past the school zone.

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. I have spent the better part of 47 years in computer hardware and software development which is why I am thrilled to be able to help with the FSD training by using it as much as possible and providing as much useful feedback as possible. I post my...

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    Yes, but FSD should be more aware of these signs because I have had two disengagements due to FSD approaching a curve at a speed far too fast for the curve. In one instance, it would have been difficult to make the curve safely especially if the surface was wet, *and* it is a "blind" curve where...

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    One of the major problems I have had with FSD 12.3.6 is that is does not understand posted signage. Cases in point: 1. Traveling on "State Highway 35" in Wisconsin where the speed limit varies from 55MPH on open stretches to 40MPH around curves to 30MPH thru towns and as low as 20MPH in School...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Agreed. I find it interesting that FSD makes minor route changes along the way and I view that behavior as a feature, not a problem. Yes, I am most certainly having fun with this as robotics [and now AI] has been one of my life-long passions since I was about 5 years old (in 1963). I really...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    The scenario you described where the Nav says one thing and FSD does something different is what I refer to as "Spouse Mode". I have noticed that behavior on several occasions. In fact, to add to my Unexpected Behavior where FSD just starts driving with no specific destination, as FSD was...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    I had several on my 733 mile drive from Detroit to Minneapolis last week.

    FSD Driving with no Location Set

    Yes, that is the exact scenario I described in another post. I refer to it as an "Unexpected Behavior". It is 100% reproducible and the second time it happened I just let it drive by itself for a while to see where it would go. After about 7 miles, I disengaged FSD and went back home. Don't know...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Agreed. One reason I was concerned about the car moving unexpectedly, particularly from where it was stopped, is that I was looking for something on the floor behind me and there were children playing in the street (to my left and behind my car). The car started moving when I was distracted and...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Drives straight. No turns.
  13. tmruwart

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Correct. Everything was "expected" behavior up to and including me pushing "End Trip". It was when the car unexpectedly started moving again without my permission. Hence, it made an incorrect assumption that it should keep driving. Think of it this way: what if it were a human driver with you...

    FSD has a mind of its own

    And if it cannot turn right, it will make three consecutive left turns (because two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do)

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    I would not say my expectations are wrong per se - my driving behavioral expectations come from 51 years of driving nearly a million miles in most every kind of traffic in every major US city and a few race tracks. I would categorize the behaviors of FSD as Proper, Questionable, Unexpected (or...
  16. tmruwart

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Even though it may be an "expected" behavior, IMHO it is not an "acceptable" behavior. At a minimum the car should stop at the destination and park its little behind right there until you tell it to go someplace else.. it should not initiate driving IMHO. If it does, the least it could do is...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    The later - it seemed to have a destination in mind. More precisely, it proceeded down my street to a T. To the right was a dead end. So it turned left and drove one block to another T. Either left or right would have been fine. But it turned on the right blinker well before we got to the...

    Reservation Numbers are RANDOM and have no relevance

    Thankyou for that clarification. Personally, I am somewhat relieved that my CT is a few years out as that will give me time to figure out how I'm going to tell my wife that I have one on order;^)

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    Here's an FSD 12 behavior I have not heard about yet so please tell me if any of you have experienced this. I left from my house and navigated¹ to Point A about 1 mile away using FSD - no problems. From there I navigated to Point B about 5 miles from Point A, again, all under FSD control - only...

    Reservation Numbers are RANDOM and have no relevance

    I believe the reservation numbers span the Tesla automotive products so they might seem somewhat random. In August 2021 I placed my order for a Model Y and a CyberTruck and those two reservation numbers were very close together which makes sense based on my previous statement. As for why the...

    Update 2023.44.30.5.1 missing Park Assist Upgrade

    So, what I am "missing" is the absence of Ultrasonic Sensors. Got it.

    I'm sorry but what is USS? Ultrasonic Sensor Support? I do have the Ultrasonic Sensors in my car.

    Update 2023.44.30.5.1 missing Park Assist Upgrade

    The 2023.44.30.5.1 update was just installed on my 2022 MYP and I still do not see any mention of the Park Assist Upgrade. What am I missing here? Do I need to have FSD in order to get the new Park Assist?

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    I don't see the Northtown Supercharger on the Tesla Findus map. Oddly, it says it is charging and I have added 5kW so far but under "Current Session" it says "No recent paid charging session" and I don't see any pricing. Sooooo.... free?

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    Sitting here at the Northtown Superchargers (9:30AM CDT, Tuesday July 11, 2023), tried to charge but as TheFlyer experienced, it says "Charging Started" for 30 seconds the "Charging Stopped"

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    They might have just turned on the station lights, not fully energize them. Not sure. I could not get close enough to stick my tongue on the charging cord... ;^)

    Went by the Northtown Supercharger site and the parking space lines are there, the stations are live in so much as they are lit at night. Anytime now....

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    Yes, I drive by it every day and asked some of the techs on site when it would be turned on. They said that they just do their work and would be out by last Friday. By the looks of it, I don't see much else that physically needs to be installed. Question for the audience: how does Tesla...

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    Yup, I have been checking it every other day for a couple weeks and one of the installation techs said it should be up and running before the end.of May, quite possibly the end of this week ~May 20, 2023). I was hoping to watch them flip the switch and be [one of] the first to use it to add 1KWh...

    Supercharger - Blaine, MN

    Out of curiosity, what is size of the power feed cables popping up out of the gound at the Northtown site? ***Warning: attempted humor ahead*** Also, where can I get the seeds they use to grow those cables? I'd like to grow some of those in my backyard... ;^)

    New supercharging station in the Northtown Cub parking lot

    Just saw this: a new Tesla Supercharging station in the Northtown Cub parking lot. It's well needed because there don't seem to be any Tesla superchargers north of Robinsdale

    Model Y Performance - Track Mode

    Agreed. I took my MYLR to the track and one of my instructors drove it and Holy Lap Times Batman! He sucked the battery down about 40% in 10 minutes! I was in the passenger seat and, well, think about the scene in Ford vs Ferrari where Shelby takes Henry Ford II for a ride around the track.... I...

    Model Y 19" Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package On MYP

    I bought a set of 19" Gemini wheels with Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on this forum's marketplace.

    Model Y 19" Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package On MYP

    My understanding is that it depends on the car and the brake calipers. 19" Gemini wheels are supposed to fit on a Model Y Performance, replacing the 21" stock wheels but the 19" Gemini wheels might not fit on a Model S Plaid, for example (I don't know if it will fit a Plaid or not, that's just...

    Matrix Headlights Brightness Issue

    I took delivery of a shiny new 2022 MYP in June and went on a road trip thru the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a couple weeks ago. One thing I experienced a lot was having oncoming cars flash their brights at me *thinking* my brights were on. Apparently, the Matrix Headlights are so bright that...

    Debating between PPF options

    Agreed. If I did just clear PPF then I would have done only the parts of the car that were most likely to be affected. However, that deep blue to deep purple¹ visual effect was too cool to pass up. :^) ¹I still think Deep Purple would make a great name for a rock band ;^)

    False Positive Automatic Emergency Braking at 80mph

    Another data point here: I was driving 73 MPH at night, no moon, clear skies, on a clear freeway, nothing ahead of me, autopilot lane following engaged (no FSD) and all of a sudden the brakes were applied hard and my instinctive and instant reaction was to tap the brakes. We slowed from 73 to 68...

    Dragy runs for my 2021 MY LR 7 seat 19" Geminis w/tow

    As some others have said and I agree, it is quite possible that the extra row of seats is costing you the 0.13 seconds. I had a 2022 MYLR and clocked it regularly at 4.79s without rollout. My current MYP is doing something similar to your MYLR in that it does not seem to get down to 3.5s...

    2022 MYP - Very Slow Acceleration

    Does a human maintain the spreadsheet or is it a web-based spreadsheet that people enter their own data? As for "mods", I was going to get an old 4-barrel carb, clean it up, mount it on a platform that fits snugly in the frunk, maybe some fancy LED lighting, and tell people "This is why my car...

    2022 MYP with full-body STEK Prismatic PPF wrap

    Took delivery of my shiny new deep metalic blue 2022 MYP in late June. Brought it over to TintPros in Fridley, Minnesota three days after taking delivery and had it wrapped with STEK Prismatic (aka DYNOPrism) PPF. It is a clear vinyl that is designed to transition the blue to purple depending on...

    Model Y Performance - Track Mode

    My friend took his Porache Cayenne to Brainerd International Raceway [in Minnesota] and raced it. Likewise, I took my MYLR there and they had no problem with the fact that it was an SUV or that it was a BEV. I suppose every track is different.

    2022 MYP - Very Slow Acceleration

    Oops. Never mind. I noticed that the 3.68 seconds was *without* 1' rollout. Dragy also reported 3.47 seconds with 1' rollout (see pic)

    2022 MYP - Very Slow Acceleration

    No - just the standard carpet mats.

    2022 MYP - Very Slow Acceleration

    I finally got around to doing a few 0-60 runs with my 2022 MYP and Dragy. The best time I got was 3.68 at 84% SoC. I *thought* this car was supposed to be able to do at least 3.5 seconds. Question: Do to 21" Uberturbine wheels with P-Zero tires have a negative impact on the acceleration? In...
