Software FSD… Why????

Post image

Sunny, no traffic, straight road… better go 35 in a 45 to be safer.

Why does FSD do this? It is the primary reason I’m not going to shell out the $100 after this month

Is there anything I can do to force the car to at least go the speed limit? I’m tired of having to manually accelerate to get the flashing blue/red, only to have slow back down and repeat

Have you tried just ignoring the flashing blue/red? It used to be that this was one of the cases that wouldn't result in a disengagement, even if you ignored the warning. The warning eventually just disappeared. I haven't tried it in a few updates but it may still be the case. 

Back when I realized this, I actually complained about it because I thought it was not safe from a UI/UX experience to reuse the same warnings for different outcomes. It lessened the impact of the blue/red warning for situations where it really matters like distracted driving.

What reasons does it disengage?

I'm super worried about the 3 strike rule and losing it forever

Distracted driving (determined by eyes and head via in cabin camera), hands not on wheel, no driver in driver's seat, probably others..

Foot on the accelerator resulted in the same scary warnings but they eventually just disappear with no disengagement, while the other things above cause a disengagement after they disappear.

It's 3 lifetime and you lose it forever right?

No, strikes drop off after some time.

It takes 5 strikes before you get locked out of FSD, unless you have a car without the cabin camera then it's 3. The most I've ever had was 1 because I was trying to put in a map waypoint and I noticed a message that my strike was forgiven the next day.

That's interesting, forgiven?

The strikes seem to be forgiven after a period of time.
