I have been using Tesla Basic AP since 2018.
Updated the car yesterday.
First drive was my usual 40 mile drive I’ve made with AP for 6 years.
Immediately I notice the AP nag is more often and turns red way faster.
I drive 70-80 mph , 90% highway.
After getting way more bags than I’ve ever seen since 2018, AP finally shutdown and said no more AP available for rest of drive.
I find this absolutely ridiculous.
I drive in FastTrack HOV lanes 90% of time on highway.
Were my hands off the steering wheel for more than 5-15 seconds ? Yes
Was I looking down at my phone occasionally sending a text? Yes a few times.
And I would bet that 90% of Tesla AP drivers do the above , so it’s not out of the ordinary.
Several times, when I saw the flashing blue nag, I reached for steering wheel, but twice I was 1-2 seconds too late, causing RED flashing - which is VERY rare for me prior to update. I never let it go in the RED flashing state 99% of my drives.
2 times, I was going around a curve at 80 mph and I got the nag - I applied gentle torque bc I was in the apex of a turn, not wanting to crash, I was slow and gentle with my hands on the wheel —- result? I got AP flashing red and it disengaged for rest of drive
Wtf ? AP is the reason I purchased a Tesla.
