2025.8.4 Update: Steer by Wire System / steering wheel gives more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces

[PungoteagueDave]

Just picked up my CT two days ago and loving it!

Has everyone gotten the update already? Or are they still deploying in batches? I have mine set in advanced and it hasn’t seen the new update yet.
Thanks all!

It’s random. I have had 5 Teslas since 2012. Ya just never know when it’s gonna rotate to your turn. There are lots of people on forums offering tips on how to go to the front of the line but in my experience the only time I’ve been able to control when an update occurs is when it’s in for service - Tesla Service Centers can and often do push updates.

You can set its aggressiveness. In normal mode it hangs back so much I am often cut off by merging traffic. And it has changed the braking mode so is quite passive and gentle. I suggest re-trying - FSD has become MUCH more sophisticated in virtually every way.

yes, I tried it again this weekend for a 120mi trip. Mine hugs the left line quite often. Rides the rumble-strips.

seems only good in open traffic with now adjacent cars near.

I don’t mind getting cut off, that’s is the reason for the gap, so they don’t cutoff at the mast minute.

it couldn’t hold the line long enough for my liking, so I turned it off…again

what?

no seriously.. what?

I can literally be in my truck for HOURS and do nothing but watch it nail every maneuver through pretty much any scenario I toss at it. Every ONCE in a while it makes a mistake. But saying Autopilot is better than FSD is just demonstrably incorrect. Period.

Ya for real

Good to know, thanks so much for the info!

Absolutely digging the ride height adjustment from the app!!

I never see my CT in anything but ‘Entry’ height. It looks great in ‘Medium’, haha!!

Just picked up my CT , updated to latest version, and can’t see the remote adjustment. What am I doing wrong?

This has been my experience as well. I see it talked about all over the place so I figure it's the norm. Are people saying this doesn't happen to them?

Autopilot with AutoSteer Beta works worked just as good if not better in open traffic, so why get FSD?

No option for auto steer in the CT

Is there a reason why my last update didn’t take me to that? Update was available when I got home and did it.

Do I have to choose advanced for Software Update Preference?

It’s not user choice. Tesla sends update at their own choosing. The settings make no diff.

Yeah. Just googled that and saw similar. Have a Model Y for 2 years. Never really noticed it was sometimes delayed. Thanks

May not be necessary. we don't need that steering wheels soon.

It doesn’t happen to me. I just used FSD for a 250 mile trip.
