Come to San Francisco and try a fully autonomous Waymo, with nobody behind the drivers's seat, and feel how confidently and comfortably it navigates streets full of cyclists, jaywalkers, stalled cars, and narrow streets with paralell parked cars. Waymo has hit a point where they've solved the...

A redditor claims that 2023.6.11 included an update to Autopilot, claiming it keeps a safer distance when passing large trucks. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Don't get distracted by these types of questions. The question needs to be when Tesla will take liability for accidents when FSD/Autopilot is enabled. That's the key question that nobody is asking.

Downloaded 2022.44.30.5 today. I subscribed to a month of FSD a few days ago, and had hit the "Request FSD Beta" button. Most interesting bit is that my car only uploads a few megabytes when I return home from drives, but following this update it uploaded 1.2GB on a drive where I didn't use...

One limitation worth calling out is that 2022.40.4.1 still phantom brakes quite often on autopilot on highways when your speed is set above around 79 or 80 MPH, if you're not trailing another vehicle for the cameras to see. It must be losing confidence and tapping the brakes aggressively to...

You have to admit how confusing that is, for V11 to be the UI but V10 to be the FSD

Reports that 2022.40.x reduce the frequency of autopilot nags + much more gentle intervention needed with the steering wheel when it does nag: 40.X and steering Wheel weight?

I have 2022.40.4.1 pending but am too afraid to update before others report no issues. On 2022.36 currently and driving through a neighborhood in the evening is MISERABLE because the car keeps flashing the brights, it looks like I'm flashing at other drivers since it'll be high beams on for...

Reddit is reporting that auto high beams work better relative to 2022.36

I have Tesla Insurance, I was in a collision a year ago (pretty serious - airbags went off, car was not driveable). The at-fault party was able to flee the scene so I wasn't able to pursue their insurance and went through Tesla Insurance again. I am not kidding when I say that that car still...

The vehicles surrounding your vehicle in the "Full Self Driving Preview" are completely different after updating to 2022.16.1.1, they're now much more detailed, and they even show a little dot on vehicles with a large antenna or a LiDar camera (like a Waymo)

I wonder if it brings any improvements to regular Autopilot as well, or if they’re only adjusting the speed cap on the existing algorithms since they believe that it’s statistically safe to do.

Had my car freeze for the first time ever on 2022.12.3.1. I had walked up to it and it unlocked, I stepped on the brake pedal to enter my pin and the dialog showed up, but then the touch screen was completely unresponsive. The car then showed no cellular connectivity at the top right (it had...

I wish the turning radius on the Model Y was tighter, it’s by far a worse turning radius than any other car I’ve driven. Takes an extra reverse/forward to get out of tiny parking lots

Tesla’s obviously not liable if you’re speeding, regardless of what your display shows. Tesla used to use OpenStreetMap, it’s unclear if they’ve now shifted to Google Maps or not. I’ve seen conflicting reports about a shift to Google Maps in 2020.
