Cybertruck FSD driving like a drunk teen lately

[HaulingAss]

Both my wife's 2024 Model 3 Performance and my 2024 Cybertruck have been astoundingly good on FSD. There are still very occasional hiccups but most of the time they drive bettter than most humans and react to threats quicker too. The edge goes to the Model 3 Performance as the Cybertruck will occasionally appear to lose calibration of exactly where it is in the lane.

This is likely an easy fix and it's not particularly pressing right now since we are still in the "Supervised" phase of FSD. Still impressed with how good it is overall.

Yeah, it’s a thing… I’ve also left mine to see how far outside the lines it goes and it will hit the rumble strips outside the lane for sure.
The cybertruck definitely comes with FSD SUPERVISED.

I’ve driven quite a bit on FSD and am at the point where I can predict when I’ll have to interve on city streets, and highways… although it loves to keep me on my toes and go off script when I least expect it to every now and then.

Yeah, I have any exact same problem ever since these latest updates. It’s driving silly lighting the rumble strips too far to the left. Hope they adjust soon cause it sucks.

I agree with most here that lately, I do have to tug on the wheel to try for the vehicle not to go close to the left side to a point where FSD gets disengaged. Definitely seeing issues keeping the vehicle centered in the lane.

I'm on 13.2.8. Mostly, it's exceptionally good, but this version likes to brake quite late - late enough that I'm often about to panic and manually slam the brakes, and my wife's purse will fall off her lap from the inertia as the car slows itself.

Drifting left in a lane is much improved - rarely happens for me - but it:

• Always tries to move into a right lane that's about to end.
• Puts the signal on super early - sometime 2 blocks before a turn.
• Makes very slow lane changes, to the point I'm sure people behind me think I've accidentally triggered the signal.
• On a two lane left turn it will start in the right left turn lane but finish the turn in the left left turn lane, and it's not shy about cutting off cars in that lane mid turn.
• The wiper still activates on a sunny day with a clear windshield, every time.
• It sometimes drops the speed substantially on engagement while driving, causing the truck to lurch quite dramatically. I gently ease my foot off the go pedal now.
• There are a couple of corners it gets wrong every time, and does a little mid corner wobble to correct - this has been the case for all FSD versions so far. Nothing special about those corners, it just can't get them right.
• Will sometimes turn the signal on for awhile, then off. Then on for awhile again. My truck and its signals don't get along so well.

Having said all that, it's still magical and handles 99% of my trips. But usually with a disengagement here and there, and I always forget to manually turn off the auto wiper setting until after the random swipe.

I haven't had any safety critical disengagements - just minor corrections here and there, plus always at my destination, where it doesn't really know what to do - parks randomly, diagonally across two spots, and tells me I've arrived.

Similar experiences here. One major issue for me is that it doesn't read No Turn On Red signs. I have one right before I get home. And it always makes the turn on red.

That's interesting - I have a no-right-on-red on a route I regularly travel and FSD used to blow right through it, but on this version it waits patiently.

Also, I forgot to mention that my FSD sees speed limit signs like it's got macular degeneration - it gets most of them wrong. It *really* likes 70 km/h and will see many non-70 signs as such. It hates 110 and never recognizes those.

I have this crazy theory there is a warehouse in India full of workers driving simulators that control our Teslas when we engage FSD.

That is interesting. My CT will stop, then start creeping forward and do small jerks into the turn. It might be sign placement as well. The sign is behind the truck once it stops fully and there isn't a sign on the other side of the intersection (if the CT is reading signs) or it's not hard coded in. I do the voice feedback to report it each time. Hopefully it fixes that, the turn is blind and many accidents happen there when people turn on red.

For some of us, vanilla autopilot is all we want. I wonder what is taking so much time?

 

[Outdoors]

If driving straight down the road isn't pressing I am not sure what is. Tesla apologists all around. Just a thought that many that may not experience such things may not drive as much as those that do.

Supervised autopilot is all we have ever had. Just in different forms of supervision Tesla has managed to get AP and FSD to go down the road straight in prior releases, and in other vehicles.
Sure they have had issues in the past, but the highway stack is a POS merged or not.

It doesn’t read signs as of right now. Speed limits are programmed in.

I'm not sure about that, but will do some more research. Yesterday, the truck appeared to read a "Minimum 40 MPH" sign as in passing, it set the speed to 40 MPH in a 70 MPH area of a highway. That would seem to contradict your statement they are programmed in only.

 

[SPAZ]

Mine was acting weird too. I did a camera calibration and its perfect now.

I finished a 700 mile trip yesterday, and to add to my list of gripes, the following:

1) my vehicle, for whatever reason is NOT honoring the Chill or Standard driving modes of FSD, ever.
2) Most of the time ignored my initiating a move from the center lane to the right lane of 3 lane highway; it would cancel my request immediately after I initiated. If I tried a second time, it would usually oblige

I’ve had some strange behavior when initiating a lane change too. Sometimes it gets over almost immediately just as I would. Sometimes it puts the blinker on and just keeps driving in the lane it’s in for about 30-40 seconds and then it very slowly, like a turtle , transitions over the the other lane, I can only imagine what anyone around me is thinking when they see this ?‍ . Sometimes I ask it to get over, it thinks about it for like 15-20 seconds and then just turns the blinker off without getting over. And all of this happens even when there are no cars in the lane I want to get into. Its baffling.

It doesn’t read signs as of right now. Speed limits are programmed in.

FSD absolutely recognizes and posts speed limit signs, sometimes incorrectly. The primary is visual data and the backup is map data.

This has been tested many times in the past where FSD will populate fake speed limit signs and follow them as long as they are specific speeds and size. Also, FSD has been tricked with black duck tape for testing.

Wrong. I put professional 15-mph speed limit signs on my mile-long driveway. The CT reads and reports the private speed limit, despite the fact that it isn’t technically legal and wouldn’t be in a road database.
