No streak for me, it ends as soon as I get to the place and I manually park it. But my over use is 97% so not bad.
My usage is 96%, but there are a lot of back roads and parking lots that I have to take over. There's a dirt road behind my house that FSD wants to go 40 in for sloth...there's no speed limit, but it picks up the 55 mph from the road before...and it absolutely is unsafe.

It rarely parks correctly, so it's impossible to keep a streak.

It just doesn't handle parking at home or work very well. Try as I might. I still have 87-88% usage as traffic sucks and I'm happy to not play that game any more.
Yea home parking needs dialed in, need to be able to set/save a VERY specific (within inches) spot that it parks in every time.

Oh man that would be amazing.
Sometimes it does exactly what I want. But sometimes it's like meh... I park how I want.

At work it gets more complicated. Handycap Parking? Sure! Visitor only parking? Why not! Taking the least efficient route out of the parking lot only to get boxed in by randomly parked equipment miles from the exit and then freezing up? Yes, today is the day for that!

I'm not even mad, all part of the fun of being able to help train FSD.

Maybe soon I can just plainly speak to Grok.
Hey Grok, let's try for a close parking spot
Or
Hey Grok, let's not take the service road to no where.
Or Hey Grok, make room for my wife's Tesla.
Or maybe Grok will ask me...
Hey wake up meat brain, where would you like to park today? We are almost at work.

So - I'm currently still maintaining my streak despite dropping it for PCS repair last week. Also I regularly "intervene" to finalize parking but have not seen the streak end since just before I dropped it for service. I intervene at home and work to park all the time.

I'm thinking they gave us some free movement when parking recently or my streak would have ended by now?

Has Anyone else been able to park and keep the streak alive?

I think it is a brilliant idea. It does assume we are all responsible adults and will actually take over in a dangerous situation.

Your theory that it makes roads a "little less safe" assumes the humans initial reaction is correct. If you assume that FSD is unsafe and humans are preventing accidents from happening most of the time, your theory is correct. If you assume that FSD is safe, and humans are disengaging due to trust, your theory is incorrect.

I see my wife disengage all the time when she does not have to (her Model 3 is only at 80% utilization because she is the primary driver).

I avoid disengaging as long as I can and the FSD has yet to let me down. I often end up parked in the worst possible places, and sometime I take routes that make no sense, but I have not had an unsafe FSD situation in over a year (AI3 and AI4).

My experience is with FSD on a MY (AI3) and M3 (AI4) I have less than 50 miles of experience with FSD on CT, maybe it is completely different.
I don't disagree. There have been plenty of times that I took over only to learn after the fact that there was a good reason FSD was doing what it was doing. So I have learned to be cautious before taking over whenever it isn't doing what I think it should do. In one, particularly impactful, moment it had seen a darkly dress pedestrian I completely missed and nearly ran over because I took over. So you make a very good point. However, there are plenty of times it does something that is obviously wrong and needs immediate intervention (running red lights at "no turn on red" intersections, excessive speeding in residential areas and school zones (even in Sloth mode)). You could argue it can run the red light without being unsafe (it does come to a complete stop first) but letting it rip around neighborhoods with children playing and lots of blind spots from parked cars is very unsafe and that red light ticket with its associated mandatory drivers school will be on me. *Supervised* FSD is, I am certain, much safer than I am and, I suspect, safer than all unassisted drivers. Take away or discourage the supervision and I'm not so sure.

We have a school zone nearby, I always put it in sloth mode in that area and keep my foot hovering right over the brake. Keeping FSD engaged allows me to keep my head on a swivel looking for any kids running into the street.

someone said you can get parking lot reflective strips and then work specific spots. I havnt tried it, maybe driveway kids chalk would trick it. Maybe I’ll try that.

The "critical" option is there for people that just need to vent.
The only options that are looked at are "parking" and "navigation".
This is my theory based on my experience doing HMI research for a large consumer electronics company.

"critical" is the spur of the moment emotional response.
"critical" feedback from non technical FSD users is useless. Without a clear definition of "critical" it is human nature to classify everything as critical (just like you are doing), especially in a stress situation when the vehicle is doing something you do not like or expect.

"parking" and "navigation" require thought beyond emotion, making the data less noisy and more valuable.
You don’t know me so do assume you know what I’m thinking and the reason you say I’m hitting critical is not accurate. I also don’t believe what you say is true either. How do you know this is stressful to me or anyone else?? Well heres a little secret, it’s not that big of a deal. Like I said I use FSD a lot. Clicking a prompt is not the stressful situation you believe it is.
