picked up my Model 3 rental. Used FSD for first time. It’s impressive. So impressive that my brother doesn’t want me to drive the car at all. He says let Tesla drive. 😂
Couple times I had to take over. Once leaving the red light my lane shifted to the right and there was a curb on my left and it was heading towards the curb. 2nd time stopped at a 4 way stop sign seem like it became confused whether to leave or not. Traffic was clear the system would nudge the gas but immediately brake, gas, brake. So I gave it a little gas and off it went on its own. So far over 30 miles pretty good even in tight little construction zones.
This is my brother first time a Tesla and he has ALOT of faith in FSD!!!😆
It still needs some work, which is why it's smart for Tesla to give free monthly trials. It's collecting a ton of data, including when you nudge the throttle

My daughter has anxiety when I use FSD, she has to look away, especially if she sees my hands away from the steering wheel.

Also my brother and I were pretty amazed how it navigated itself through from the right lane 4 lanes left to my eventual exit.
Another place I took over was in construction where my lane was running out last second in traffic.
I plan on using it the entire time I have the rental. This one has the best quality out of all ones I’ve rented. It’s a 2023 with 18k miles.

Correct me if I’m wrong but something popped on the screen asked for my input on why I intervened the few times I did take over.

Ok this has happened 2x tonight. Traveling down 3 lane street, approaching intersection and my light is green and I’m using FSD and all of a sudden it’s hard on the brakes. It slowed so much that by the time turned yellow I was less than 5mph and it stopped. Left me confused. I called my friend who has couple of Teslas told him it’s almost like it predicted the yellow light.
Proceed down the same road and it does it again at another intersection and my light is green. So I intervene and give it gas and it resumes. My brother thinks because a car was approaching the intersection to stop maybe the system thought it may pull out in front of us. I was in the right lane both times.

. Keep in mind it's still a work in progress, which is why it supervised
