My Beast updated last night. Test drive this morning was smooth with no interruptions (I'm rural so connectivity drops out repeatedly in certain spots). I need to do much more testing before I give it a big thumbs up.
BUT my biggest hope - getting my Apple Watch setup as a keycard was dashed as my watch says "Vehicle Software 2024.44.25+ required". That is a different fork than the Cybertruck so I guess no AppleWatch keycard for Christmas...
UPDATE:
Just finished a slightly less than 20 mile round trip from my home to the bank. AMAZING - BEST UPDATE TO DATE!
1) flawless drive only interventions were turning into bank parking lot and my driveway. Beast tried to go past both despite turn signals on and announced turns.
2) Display is much improved with smoother road markings. But did notice that at some times double yellow line would display as a single yellow line and then back again.
3) First time I have ever allowed FSD to pass bicyclists - just never felt comfortable on narrow rural roads. But I passed 3 on this run. On one, where the bicyclist was over the white line and in the roadway the Beast signaled and moved over about â…“ lane and then signaled and moved back. On the other two it simply slid over to on the center line, even when other cars were coming. Count me as impressed. California has a strict 3 feet clearance from vehicle to bicyclist - not sure FSD adhered to this but I never felt that the bicyclist was in any danger as there was plenty of space.
4) I have to pass through two 25 mph wide spots and both were perfect going, but coming back one was ignored (despite showing 25MPH badge on the display) and zipped through at 32-38mph. Not sure why!
As for the Apple Watch, this is apparently coming before Christmas (most likely Dec 22nd with the CT Christmas update). This update with come via a Tesla update to the Apple App - not on the CT....
