Basically what it does is set speeds based on traffic flow, as well as road conditions. And it does it in a more natural way, like a person would.

Didn't get a chance to use Summons yet. I tried it at my brother in laws house, but it doesn't work on public roads, so I'll try it next time I'm in a parking lot
I also set the auto set speed offset to on this morning. I used it a little today and it’s really good. Still a little too “new driver” driving for me since the way it stops at certain lights to turn on red or stops signs would be annoying to someone behind me but no one was behind me this morning so no big deal. Still very impressive.

It does work pretty good, but still sometimes does strange things. I was on the freeway in stop and go traffic, and it stopped in a lane that merges, I had to intervene and hit the throttle to force my way in. Minor issues like this need to be addressed

I think the issue is it just doesn’t drive like I would or some other people. What you said reminded me of another example. I was in the right line going with the flow of traffic and it moved over to the left lane to pass but my exit was less than a mile away and it was clear that there wasn’t an opening to get back over before the exit. It tried to slow to get in the right lane but it stopped when it realized there was no room and kept going a little more but there was still no room ahead so I had to take over and punch it where there was an opening right before the exit. Had I not it probably would have slowed down in the left lane until someone let me in which is not a good idea when cars in the left lane are going 65-70mph.

btw no nagging is true for autopilot as well, since 32.8 (i think), i only need lightest touch on the wheel for it not to nag - as if it was capacitive wheel. Litterally i can put a hair of my pinky finger touch it and it is fine.

I think I still younger than you, so that makes you the dirty old man.

But I plan to be one someday.

It's nice they finally got *** on Vision models. I wonder why they haven't made their 360 more realistic. As for the latest FSD itself... I don't think the change is noticeably improved. At red light it stops like a car length behind others. How awkward is that? Auto adjusted speed sounds nice but it can be annoying. Sometimes you want to go faster (still less than 10 over speed limits) but it's just stuck there. When on freeway, I think it automatically sets about 7-8 more than speed limits. It also doesn't slow down fast enough when there's a speed trap. If you're in a wrong area, it can get you a ticket easily. I feel it still needs a lot of improvement. A lot of supervision is still needed especially where there are construction and new freeway/roads. Overall still best technologies one can dream of.

@AMIRZA786 hey I have a ‘23 M3 base reserved. I see there’s a Polestar 2 available. Should I switch to the polestar or stick with the 3? Only thing I wish the 3 was a dual motor but not end of the world.

Also I see there are Mach Es available too but read charging could be sketchy.

terminology these days can be challenging. I thought m3 was a bmw but 'reserving' is something I think of for unreleased teslas but then I thought why is he reserving a used car ('23)

finally parsed this is a rental car reservation for a used model 3 rwd. Too bad it's not the highland refresh (I don't think?). Same as what I drive a year ago. It was still great.
