This is such a good point! You get to shift from tensing your muscles constantly to mediate the speed and direction of the vehicle to being the captain at the wheel; able to constantly scan 10, 20 seconds ahead of the vehicle and predict where it'll go and who'll cross your path.I don't understand the mentality of "It's useless if I can't go to sleep" - I've driven 50k+ miles on FSD over the past three years and it has been so much fun, a massive stress reliever, and - since I've been daily driving my truck and not my 3 anymore - the number one thing I miss about that car.
If you've not used it, MAYBE I can understand why you're less than enthusiastic about it - but it's definitely a big deal. Also... we paid for the ability, so it's nice to have it rolling out finally
That's how I've always driven. Scanning up and expecting someone to dart in the way. It's definitely a unique experience sitting behind a vehicle maneuvering itself. Something new to get used to now. I'm excited to see it in action in more scenarios that just a quick test run I did tonight.This is such a good point!

It's doing the same, but it's also trying to tell you it's doing it... So it's twice the eyes on the road.
And if it deviates from the expected path, you just hit the brake or grip harder on the wheel. You can pre-position your foot on the brake instead of the go pedal. You can pay attention to the cars further around you instead of counting the second between traffic or the narrowness of the lane lines, and you have more time to notice discontinuities in the pavement.
All that means less stress on your body and less fatigue from the process of driving.

Have it too!Full screen FSD in Cybertruck = epic view

So far it's disabled in other vehicles if you add a trailer.Who is going to be the first to tow with FSD!¿!
...How to tell when you're not on a development branch of Apple or Google software...Apple and Google have set a precedent that when something is released, it's released. Tesla is nowhere close to the same. Asking when or...
Think of it as year 2024, blah 32, basic update 5 (version 4) vs basic update 20 (version 0)So 2024.32.20 provides FSD... but 2024.32.5.4 is already on Cybertrucks and doesn't have FSD .. how does this work?
For me being able to look over your shoulder during rush hour traffic lane changes without worrying about the car in front slamming on the brakes is so much safer. And knowing it has a chance to see deer off to the side at dusk.That's how I've always driven. Scanning up and expecting someone to dart in the way.
