Just went for a test drive. A lot of improvements but it still has a long way to go. School zones. Fail. Left turn, hit one median that it usually hits but missed another that it usually hits. Highway is very good but on sweeping left and right curves in the road, it hugs the left line on left sweeps and the right line on right sweeps. It would be a good line if it was a race track.
I do not think it will ever drive as well as I can. I drove for a living for 44 years and over 2 million miles. For fun, I drive some more. So I have experience.
It does not avoid potholes, road drains on the sides of highways and speed bumps. It did do very well in a parking lot that was under construction. It also was able to exit a parking lot from a parking space with out intervention and get right on to the highway.
It still made a lane change in front of a speeding car. I had to intervene and mash the gas (electron pedal?)
It also is not smooth on maintaining speed. I feel the car slightly lurching faster and slower just to maintain highway speed. That is annoying. It is like a new driver that will never learn how to drive smoothly. It is not several seconds of gas then off the gas, it is fractions of a second, power on and off many times. It seems to only do it when there is a vehicle in front of the truck, which, BTW, is following too closely.
It also started from my driveway, to the store I entered into the GPS by just starting FSD. Impressive.
Overall, I love it and will never sell my CT. I just hope they straighten out the issues that cause this truck to drive like it is drunk or stupid.
