maybe this (good) fsd feedback should be in its own thread or one we must have somewhere for this

 

Highway is where FSD really shines. Keep it away from any roundabouts on local streets

 

Thankfully, I've only run into three roundabouts in California. One is in Fremont, the other two are closer to SoCal. You guys seem to love them on East coast 😁

 

We believe in efficiency 😉

 

Roundabouts in general are monumentally more efficient than stop signs. Sometimes the rest of the world really does know best.

 

Here's 3 in a row they put in by our old lake house in WI. It seems they were added just to catch drunk drivers :

 

I'll create one....

 

The Evolution of my Model Y

The one thing Tesla does, and does extremely well is building the foundation of their cars over time through software updates. When I first received delivery of my Model Y in May 2023, it was a great car, with a great foundation, but it lacked some features. For example, Parking Assist. It pretty rudimentary and kind of sucked. Using cameras and visual, it gave you basic estimates of how far an object was to your front, side and rear. You couldn't really rely on it too much, for example a few times it was wrong about how far the curb was and I ended up curbing my tires and Aero covers. But over the last year, they steadily built on it, training the AI through visuals, making it more robust, I don't even need to use the backup camera. The car will even back itself out of tight spaces.So without further ado, the Model Y updates in pictures

June 2023




In the second pic, it is interpreting the trash can next to it as being a Truck

September 2023


Parking Assist

November 2023




Now recognizes objects like Trash cans and stop signs, as well as road markings

December 2023






This update now gives you a buffer zone, guided path, and shows parking spot outlines

January 2024


This latest update now shows you objects on the ground like leaves

May 2024




The latest update now gives you a detailed layout of the road, the cars on it, brake light status etc. You can literally look at the screen and drive based on the information presented. The second pic is Parking Assist, you just press the spot you want to park in, and the car does the rest

 

Basically with the way the cameras display the new layout of the road, I can literally drive without looking at the road and just the screen...but of course not recommended to do this. As I understand, it can also detect potholes

 

Do you think the visualization we're getting with the FSD trial will remain after it's over? I've heard that it goes back to what we had before.

 

That's actually a good question. I have no idea, but I hope not. I guess some research is in order

 

Darn....

 

It's almost worth the $99/mo just for that.

 

Haha that's exactly what I was thinking 😂

 

Not bad for a mid-sized family SUV. Imagine if I had the Performance upgrade...
