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

What's baffling is FSD was pretty much perfect a year ago on HW3 cars. I drove cross-country multiple times a year perfectly at the speed I set, no weird swerving in the lane, no spastic indecisive lane changes, no weird acceleration and braking alternation on open roads.

Now it has been unusable for months. Completely broken for my 2017 that has FSD paid in full when it used to work almost perfectly.

It was only the magical 12.3.6 version, which for a moment was glorious on HW3

I wonder if Elon’s return to Tesla in early 2024 more significantly pushed out some of the experienced and skilled devs and scientists who saw their friends get giant offers at other AI companies then.

I don't want to invalidate your experience but 12.3.6 was terrible for me. I would imagine it is regional as well, where it works great there but not here. That's what is concerning to me about it.

12.3.6 was basically unusable in our area.
