Agreed, they must get it right, but a robotaxi will likely be used only in a controlled, well mapped city environment, at least for the near future. We drive our vehicles in so many different settings, that having the option to precisely set speed is a totally sensible.
I too am a multiple and serial Tesla owner. I love the self driving capabilities and many, many other things about Tesla- enough that I continue buying them.
I also realize that my opinions may be location specific, as I do not spend a lot of time driving in high traffic urban areas. I...
Iāve been saying this since the FSD14 update. AI simply cannot set a reasonable speed and it will never be better at setting the speed the driver wants than the actual driver. There are just too many variables. In the real world, weāre quite a ways from safe and sensible E2E autonomy.
Some...
Hear, hear! Iām having similar experiences- I find FSD14 is a definite downgrade in relaxed usability from FSD13, and now that itās āmore autonomousā it requires more frequent driver inputs than ever before. I think users that sing the praises of the new system must have a much higher tolerance...
Actually, I hope you are right and Iām wrong. I want to buy Teslas for as long as I can. Tesla has been awesome, but the near future is not looking that great right now. Itās not just me:

I love my CT-
I love the FSD but I also love actually driving the vehicle. itās a wonderful driving truck-smooth, great acceleration, goes anywhere, capable, great turning radius, and just fun to drive. That all seems to get lost in almost all discussions.
Iām more than a bit frustrated...
Iāve had similar experiences. After a year of enjoying it, my wife now asks me to not use FSD when she is in the car because itās making her motion sick due to the erratic āmicro adjustmentsā steering and especially the erratic speed management.. Turns are not so comfortable anymore either...
Yep, speed control is trash. Vehicle managed speed has always been trash, but before FSD14 we could easily tweak and manage it with the scroll wheel. Taking away the scroll wheel speed control and replacing it with the speed profile system ruined that. E2E and autonomy are worthless if you...
No, you are not the only one, and the issue is much bigger than just missing speed limit signs. We had an easy way to deal with incorrect speed management by FSD with the scroll wheel, but it was taken away to promote a very premature forced paradigm shift to full autonomy, which just isnāt...
Yes, āwe humans know this and drive appropriatelyā. This is why we need an easy way to correct the spread limit errors- and we had that with the scroll wheel until FSD14. The self driving is amazing- the speed management is terrible, frustrating and spoils the benefits of FSD14. Speed...
I really wish that were true, and maybe someday it will be. Iād love to just pop in the car and have it drive me safely at legal speeds and not annoy other drivers and take full liability for its actions. But hereās the actual official classification as of today:
āTeslaās Full Self-Driving...
I too find Iām driving my CT much more with my foot on the accelerator than I did a couple months ago. No matter the speed profile, it tends to drift down in speed when I want it to maintain speed, or creep up when I need to go slow.
Although I like to āgo with the flowā in terms of speed, I...
Thank you, Iāll try this in my neighborhood. I used FSD13 pretty much 100% of the time for almost a year in my neighborhood because I could easily set the speed. Since FSD14 taking away that option, I must repeatedly disengage because of improper speed management. My neighborhood is 25mph with a...
We had a simple, reliable scroll wheel to address ātoo fastā or ātoo slowā- then the geniuses took it away, made speed management much more complicated and much more dangerous in the name of autonomy. Now we have to either annoy other drivers with slow or erratic speeds as the profiles change...
Itās a real frustration for current owners who bought something else clearly labeled āsupervised full self driving driver assistāā. Still, the legal position is clear: Tesla repeatedly says to this minute that FSD is a ādriver assistance systemā, and is never legally driving the car. If the...
Very creative mod- Iām big fan of full bench seats and this is about as close as we can get today. What I hope for in a six seater CT would be two seats per row, three rows. Iād love a CyberSUV. I hit my head almost every time I get something out of the back seat with the slanted roof, and...
