You could do that with V13, but it sometimes required additional confirmation. Meaning, a second lane change signal.

Just received V14.2.1.25 tonight.

following up on this… i’m sure you realize but just in case, sloth chill are to the ‘left’ of standard, while hurry and mad max are to the right.

here they are where you set the default driving profile for fsd…

so the last two releases are better overall but have had a definite quirk on a few trips in that the car will take a left or right turn right before the destination or go past it for another turn. very odd… but still handy to drive 99% of the trip on fsd.

Been using FSD since Thanksgiving, and although not perfect, it still drives better than 99.9 percent of drivers on the road. Most of the mistakes have just been annoyances, making decisions like changing lanes for no reason other than trying to get around slower cars, and waiting to change lanes close to an exit. But it seems to be learning

So... does this mean I'm at 0% since it doesn't show me anything? That would be 100% correct! I should start using it and see if it starts to populate.

My car is a 2021. I think I'm on HW3..? I literally never use FSD so I don't pay attention to versions and how far behind I potentially am.
