Tesla.
Please.
Stop.
Dry.
Wiping.
My.
Windshield.

Mine was doing it crazy first drive. Then it just stopped. Do a double button reset after install, that is the only thing I did.

Good.. finally can adjust speed for highway driving again. Much better stopping & going - smooth.
Bad…. Still not reading many speed limit signs on the highway but now can adjust speed with scroll wheel. Clipping some curbs on left turns ( but much improved), not stopping at all stop signs( shows on map, slows down or yields & drives thru). Has happened 4-5 times & no one is around.
overall a great improvement for my drives. Can’t wait for the next improvements.

The bad: What’s with constantly trying to change lanes, haha!!

On v12, if I cancelled an auto lane change, the CT would stop trying and stay in the lane.

With v13, it never stops. Chill, Standard, Hurry it’s all the same. I have to keep my finger hovering over the turn signal button the whole drive.

This isn’t navigating either, just plain FSD during rush hour traffic. Super frustrating.

Yes. I have it set to 75mph, the CT is going 75, and there are no cars ahead of me.

Now, I am in the express and/or carpool lane when this happens. Maybe it thinks those are 'passing lanes' and is trying to get out??

The constant lane change seems tied to being in the Express or Carpool lanes (left most lanes in CA).

When I let v13 change to the fast lane (one lane to the right), it finally settles down and stays put.

I have “use HOV lanes” selected, too. Weird. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon or I’m going to wear out the turn signal buttons, haha!!

same here. I drive only on chill and Terr terrifies me particularly on the freeway.
At least I am glad I can set the speed limit over …at 10%
I liked the number of car follow distance I always used the max . I am unsure why they would remove it. I am in no hurry going anywhere and I drive very cautious. PTSD out of being t boned a while ago in a Mercedes….

A "best/better" follow distance for me is the 2-second rule, and one that would simplify coding for FSD. Simply pick a fixed spot visually when the front car passes, and say "one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two" before your front bumper passes same spot. Fixed point can be road sign, hwy marker, or anything, if's much easier to pick a fixed point than one might think until you try it.

Benefit to this is 2 seconds automatically adjusts to speeds, and accomodates the same math distance to number of car distances without mental math. I learned this from a drivng class 50 years ago, and the video showed correlations to tracked human reaction abilities to stop distances when frknt car brakes.

Sometimes FSD 13.1 follows front car sub-1 second, other times it's 2 seconds. I like 3 seconds, most drivers on the road are 1-second and some tailgate dangerously at 1/2 second. The closer one tailgates, the less flexibility they have to pass, because the acceleration needed to pass has to occur after the dangerously swerve to the passing lane and then accelerate.

Am expecting FSD latency for braking is much better/faster than human reactions, so possibly tailing a car may not need 2 sceonds, but without knowing the data to support that expectation, and the comfort level distance memory of my own, the occasional tailgating FSD interupts my riding enjoyment.

Hopjng Tesla adopts 2-second rule and lets drivers choose 2 or 3 secind interval of their own choice.

What is need is a "Pucker factor" input to the model based on the "in cabin" camera. It sees me tensing up because of it's behaviour, it should calm the fark down.

This time, it recognized the driveway, turned into it, and drove to the garage door. Impressive!

If it works for me, I thought it must have worked easily for everybody else where a typical driveway is tens of feet apart from the neighbor's driveways.

For me, I back into my driveway up near the garage door for two reasons:

1. I bring the charger chord out from the garage to charge it. (It slips between a small gap at the edge of the garage door when closed).
2. The Cyberbeast looks much cooler like that on my slightly inclined driveway. ?

Here is how I park:

The truck is too big to actually fit in my garage, or I would park it inside. And I have a 3-car garage too. Home builders just don't build them deep enough for trucks...or rather, architects don't design them deep enough. You would have to custom design a garage to make it big enough to fit a truck here in California.

So, until they teach the Cybertruck to back into driveways, it won't be useful to me.

Good

• Braking fixed! My wife would not let me use FSD if she was in the car up through v12 because it would wait until the last second to slow down at a red light. V13 is much more natural and starts to slow a lot sooner when it sees a red light ahead.
• Return of driver profiles is great - especially since it is just a thumb press away to change. I tend to drive around in CHILL - just my nature - but it is nice to be able to bump it up with a flick of the thumb when traffic is light.
• Doesn't tailgate as much as it used to

Bad

• Left turns. Still has problems making left turns without crossing the double yellow lines - in some cases driving over the median. Good thing it came with 35" tires! I think it has improved (does it less) than V12 but it is still a problem. It needs to move forward more into the intersection before starting the turn.
• Ignores lane change requests occasionally - even with no cars around. Multiple attempts are ignored and I have to take it out of FSD to move it over. Not often - maybe one in 10. Perhaps caused by a camera getting blinded by the sun?

Does some things better but in town, its riding the center median gutter when in the left lane. Turning right at a multi lane right turn, it chose to turn inappropriately cutting off the person to the right of me resulting in some road rage. Can’t blame the other driver. Generally handling traffic better but definitely some issues with complex traffic

GOOD: 13.2.1 now drives me home all the way to the garage door. I tried this with all previous FSD 12.5.5.x versions without success. The truck had always stopped on the street in front of the driveway. This time, it recognized the driveway, turned into it, and drove to the garage door. Impressive!

How did you set the "home" - just address or some other method ? For me, CT drives past the house a bit, so I disengage.

Same here tries to park on the street .. and the driveway is short and wide open with a large car port as well .

I am having the same issue with always wanting to change lanes. My truck never wants to stay in the HOV lanes!! This needs to change,

I drive in rural Maine. 13.2 has been excellent on roads totally snow covered, small towns with crazy traffic patterns. I've always felt in the past as if someone could detect FSD from watching the car, it gave off clues, absolute lane centering, abrupt speed changes at limit changes. 13.2 drives like a human.
It is close to the mailboxes, perhaps training for robomailtruck.
wipers work well.

I entered my address and named it "Home". You can name all of your favorite addresses to something easy to remember.

My truck used to drive past my driveway too in previous FSD versions. I tried so many times and it always failed so I gave up trying. I always disengaged FSD just before it reached the driveway. This time, I was distracted on the phone and forgot to disengage. Next thing I knew, I was in front of my garage door. I couldn't believe it. I immediately went back out to try again to capture it on video, which is the YouTube video that I posted. Since then, I always let the truck take me in with 100% success rate. If I opened the garage door before the truck got there, it would occasionally go in completely (less than 50% success rate at this time). I will capture and post another YouTube soon.

Actually there are two special addresses Tesla stores - Home & Work. Thats what I was talking about. You see Home just below the Nav address field for quick pickup (and Work if you are at home).

There were some on TMC saying if you use GPS co-ordinates instead of address, it works better.

In your case its a long drive-way ... but for us its just a turn from the road.

Using v13.2.2 went from Los Angeles to the Hollywood Hills. Really enjoyed the profiles of standard and hurry. Cybertruck behavior in hurry is my driving style. Highway it did well. Its not completely centered in the lane, it barely touches lane markers. Took the curvy roads of Mulholland Dr and was at a comfortable safe speed. Phantom wipers were the only real complaint. FSD did well. Great job FSD team, thank you for your efforts. Really makes FSD worth every penny.
