Share your FSD 13.2.1 experiences - Good & Bad

[Djinndjinn]

Live in rural central PA. FSD (on CT and 2 prior teslas) has always been very good on larger highways (phantom breaking, and not maintaining speed were greatest limitations) but useless and dangerous around town and local highways. Until now ….

Tried version 13 on a local route - very short, just a few miles - but a route I would have to disengage at least 5+ times. Did not have to disengage at all, until we entered roads on clinic grounds where it decided to turn into the oncoming left lane (huh?). but on the local roads, it worked much much better. Still hugs a little too close to the right on unmarked roads (close to extending mailboxes - I can see them. But not sure if CT does).

All in all this is the first update where I have noticed a palpable improvement in reliable performance, closer to human level. Nice. YMMV.

The first strike for 13 this morning was an intersection when it stopped behind another car. But in this case I was stopped literally on a railroad track! How does it not detect a railroad crossing?

Good: I turned on FSD and it got me all the way home from my workout. Super smooth, better than it ever has been in the past. Kinda scary how good it is now!

Bad: It passed my driveway, so I had to disengage.

0 out of 5 stars

speed profiles are great.

the damn dry wipes when there is absolutely no rain or clouds in the sky are HORRIBLE.

Hrmmm
Several dry wipes.
Before the update my connection went and returned 12hrs after i updated ?
It will not go the speed i set even in hurry (speed limit 80, i set 85 as max and it will only go 82 slows down if i push the accelerator)
Have had a few situations with best roads for the last 2weeks where it reduces max speed with a remark that the road condition is bad ?
Reduces speed when approaching lorries for no apparent reason
So far disappointed ??

FSD drove me to the doctor’s this morning with no issue at all - driving through crowded traffic, onto the freeway, right into the parking lot. On the way back, the CT tried to take me to Starbucks - one driveway too early - rather than turn on the correct street. Obviously it thinks I needed coffee from my blank expression that it is monitoring.
Left hand turns have really improved for me. Everything seems smoother. Yesterday the wiper made an unnecessary swipe.
Overall, I think we are almost there!

I'm also getting the wiper issue.

Having trouble understanding the offset, I just want to go up to 10 miles over the speed limit and the offset doesn't seem the matter of 10 30 or 40%. I can't get it to understand my goals.

Big improvement. Compared to my model Y which is now professional level still a ways to go. CT now stops better with less braking.

I've had all good experiences, no bad ones. Of course there are improvements that are needed still, which I expect.

I've had one disengagement in two days of commuting to and from work. Typically my commute had 2-4 disengagements without fail on 12.5.5.3.

My one disengagement was the CT entering a turn lane for a turn that wasn't for another 400ft, which forced me to turn left before nav wanted to.

The tweaks that are needed in the near term:
1) Wider turns. The CT is still taking turns too tightly.
2) More patience for high speed cross traffic, or, it needs to get up and go when it pulls out in front of a vehicle.

I had 4 flawless drives today with one red steering wheel on the 5th drive. There’s a strange exit merge point off I4 in Orlando and it got to the point where it needed to merge to the regular road and it just stopped and said take over.

Where are you getting a screen that looks like that? I am having a horrible time with this new update to 13.2.1 because it does nothing...it is exactly like the last 12.5 version...no matter what profile I set, whether Chill, Standard, or Hurry, it still drives like a Grandma at 5 MPH under the speed limit and nothing changes.

This is the only screen I get and it doesn't look like your pic (although you would think it would achieve the same results, but it doesn't):

Another strange regression I noticed and reproduced several times has to do with approaching a house destination.

v12.5 would turn on the left signal correctly and move towards my driveway but then stop diagonally right at the curb. This was weird, but I understood that Auto Park was not connected to FSD so I learned to work around it.

With 13.2 however, the truck turns on the Right signal, which is totally nonsensical as my driveway is on the left side of the street relative to the direction of the drive. That obviously confuses me but is also a safety hazard as it incorrectly makes cars behind me comfortable proceeding to pass me on the lift right when I intend to turn left into my driveway.

Naturally, I did disengage and report this to Tesla. Main point being that Tesla AI cannot afford to rush releases nor hype them up too much. Stakes are too high.

If anyone is familiar with the 5-point intersection in Whittier Cali. where Whittier Blvd. meets Washington Blvd. and Santa Fe springs Rd. I was traveling eastbound on Whitter Blvd. approaching the intersection on the left lane with two lanes available that continue straight. Light is green and traffic is moving slow on my lane so FSD decides to switch lanes at the last moment before entering the intersection only to see that the car in front on that lane is also making a last minute lane change into the lane i was just in and as he clears the way I see why he was changing lanes and if I don't slam on the brakes and intervein I would have done some serious damage to my CB. I was already thinking the way it changed lanes and started accelerating even before the car was completely out of the way was risky then saw what was in the roadway and realized it wasn't going to stop I had only a split second to react and avoid disaster. There were three very sturdy looking fiberglass pallets stacked like fallen dominos, and they just touched my front license plate. So don't get complacent it can still make mistakes that will cost you a lot of money to fix. Then come to find out it didn't even make a recording of the incident not even a feedback report nothing.

I drew this diagram to illustrate what I found to be the most interesting and disturbing thing about the incident was how the pallets were stacked or more importantly is the direction of the stack! I don't see is how they fall out of a moving vehicle and fall in a direction that is 90 degrees to the travel direction. I think it's possible they were placed there intentionally, and they were just making sure to block the whole lane so you can't swerve around it and avoid it. And these were good quality pallets possibly made of fiberglass painted gloss white with red lettering. these didn't fall from a pallet collector type that go's around looking for wood pallets these are not the disposable kind the FSD never saw them I don't know if it even realized how close it came to fucking up my truck. I didn't even get an intervention feedback report notice nothing. how do I find out if it made a recording of that. I would like to review that and confirm the fall direction of the pallets. The part about the train in my diagram is that train tracks are directly above this point where the pallets were, and it dose travel more or less in that direction. except they were under the tracks and a 30 foot fall its highly unlikely they all land touching each other let alone stacked how they were.
