Tesla S 2022 FSD- Beta 2022.20.17 — 22 September 2022
I’ve got several difficult test drives where I put my Tesla through some tough tests. I also use it on all my drives.
It’s significantly better than before, much smoother, more “sure”.
For me — Remaining Issues
FSD-Beta still does not recognize school zones or school busses as having extra right of ways or speed controls
It does not react to emergency vehicles any differently than any other cars.
It’s 50 / 50 on entering parking lots, ½ the time it slows down a lot (not enough imho) and ½ the time it maintains the speed of the road it turned from (35-40 mph). Once in the lot it sometimes finds it way, sometimes not.
It’s better with potholes and speed bumps.
It does not honor "No Right Turn on Red" signs nor turn only arrows on the road
If it sees 2 speed signs, one for trucks (45 mph) with the top one for cars (55 mph) it changes speed to 55 mph but then within a few seconds it changes to 45 mph.
It does not handle complex lane markings well, it still sometimes tries to turn into closed or restricted areas.
I still use extreme caution with unprotected left onto busy cross streets - it creeps great, waits patiently BUT it still, at times, makes the right move and begins the turn but then STOPS and I have to hit the go pedal
It does traffic circles much better; but, not yet perfectly all the time
It gets confused with on going road construction, signs, people with signs, lane markings, no lane markings, etc. So, I take over here.
It does not do one way bridges where there are no stop signs and cars are expected to take turns
It does not use turn signals very well, too slow and sometimes not at all
New behavior that was fixed and no longer works — when making a right onto a turning road with two exits, it seems to always take the first exit even if the route planner has indicated it will take the second, correct exit.
Not FSD Beta Issues
It still gets very confused around toll booths and keeps trying to move me out of the EZ pass lane
After toll booths where there are few if any lines it tends to just stop
Worth the $$ to me
All the bads aside, on long trips thé Bêta is wonderful. The ride is more relaxing and less tiring. You still need to pay close attention but you are not always turning the yoke or pushing or taking your foot off the “gas” to keep your place in traffic. It changes lanes safely without your intervention if you let it, safer than I do since it’s always “looking”.
I just completed a 7 hour round trip with just 1 disengagement.
