FSD general release rollout (outside Early Access) is happening! Install yours yet?

[HaulingAss]

I did my first drive. It did much better than my hardware 3 model y for the most part.

Only thing that happened was it wanted to make a right on red and seemed like it was going to pull out in front of a car that was coming so I hit the brake. Not sure what was going on there. The car was under an overpass and a little shadowed out so maybe it didn’t see it.

Lane changes on the highyway were much better than the last auto pilot.

Turning was very smooth on the streets so far.

Using auto speed is my choice and it was doing 71 in a 65 on the interstate and im ok with that.

Better safe than sorry, but chances are it was just creeping forward more, the nose of the Cybertruck is shorter than most drivers of it think.

Installed this morning and took a drive as soon as it was finished. Overall, really good but there are clearly some things to watch out for. It's really confident in some challenging situations, which was a surprise.

• As others have noted, it tends to hug lefthand turns too tightly.
• General lane keeping seems to favor the left close to double yellows, fairly uncomfortable in some situations.
• Needed some encouragement on one flashing yellow.
• Speed regulation was generally really natural and appropriate for the roads.
• Challenging situations with people, bikers, and construction all seemed solid. So much so that it passed a biker (no bike lane) by moving over to straddle the center line quickly after traffic was clear. It's what I would have done and it didn't hesitate.

That was the fastest release for upgrade I have seen since I got this truck. Hope those that were frustrated with the wait can appreciate just how fast that was from the time early release started

I took delivery of my CT last Saturday and immediately sent it out to be wrapped
MY SOFTWARE IS 26.300.1
How far behind am I

Pretty far. You should be getting an update right away.

Drove ~ 20 miles, still alive, no issues, impressed

I am always later in the update schedule so I'm shocked that this just started!

I'm just outside Nashville in case anyone is tracking progress geographically.

Friend in Lexington, KY got it about a week ago. I am in TX and still waiting.

Haven’t read all of this thread.
But after taking two FSD drives, I’m wondering if the reason it took so long to come out is that they had to build specialized neural nets specifically for the Cybertruck. So they needed us, the early adopters to Drive enough miles in a shadow mode to collect the data to build new neural nets.
Without getting into all the specifics…The reason I’m thinking this is possible is that it seems like FSD is much less confident and from my perspective has taken a step backwards in my Cybertruck versus our ‘23 Model S Plaid (HW4) and ‘23 Model Y (HW4).

Got FSD loaded today and took it for a short drive. Was smooth for 95% of the ride. One minor intervention and one major intervention (ignored school zone and was driving 2x the allowed speed). I suspect it is going to get even better very quickly.

School zones aren't programmed in, yet. Neither are school busses. It will come with time.

More fun than previously possible! It doesn't slow down for speed zone changes as soon as I would like yet, but then I am a very conservative driver. Don't look at the screen to much or it will warn you to keep your eyes on the road. I found that using FSD without a destination set works very well. When you use the turn signal on a multi lane road, it changes lanes for you. I am learning a lot and the system is going to learn a lot with all of the data uploaded from all of us beta testers.

I want some of what you're smoking. The entitled and impatient will never give an inch.

They don't want to attempt to do the impossible, they leave that for others, while expecting them to do it ridiculously quickly, without any delays caused by things they can't see. Anything less and the complaining starts. When the impossible is finally successful, they say "About time, but it's not quite perfect".

The world needs more doers and fewer complainers that everything is not right.

Pretty impressed with 1st day operation in heavy lunchtime traffic. Almost had a wreck when ultra aggressive left turn Mustang refused to yield and tried to shoot a gap. Had to take control as I could see young driver was gonna gun it. Tried to turn into a parking lot correctly, then stopped confused as it did not know where lane of traffic was going to a restaurant. Had to take control. Crossed 2 lanes of traffic in a left lane manuever to get into correct turn lane scaring the shit out of me, but, correctly and smoothly doing it. Even accelerated during manuever to avoid cutting off drivers in the rear. Very impressive! Mostly my apprehension is from trusting the CyberDriver using a new technology for me during heavy downtown traffic. After my 1st day, "I'm a Believer!" ?

Ever since release Tesla cable limited to 6 amp charging. No heat here. Fantastic

Received the download notification late last night, installed it this morning, and took it for three trips this afternoon. Overall, pretty impressive.

- As others have said, left turns are a bit tight, almost hit the median on my forst FSD turn ever!

- I saw a mention of school zones not yet implemented. I experienced that first hand thos afternoon. Truck just blazed on ahead.

- Merging. I guess the truck assumes people understand what the zipper method is for merging on freeways. Unfortunately, people in Texas do not. I had to jump in both to pet someone in and to not hit a semi when I was entering a freeway.

- Another merge item. Just down from my home is a climbing onramp to a high speed road that soon merges into one lane and then merges with a feeeway. It has a yield sign, but you are blinf to traffic almost until you are there. Truck thought it should go for it, but not fast enough. I had to jump in and pull over a bit to let the traffic by.

- Between that first left turn and the blinf onramp, there os a boulevard with buildings going up on both sides. One sode of the road is closed and traffic is diverted to the other with comes doviding the lanes. I was worried about thos, but it handlesld it perfectly!

- First destination was a supercharger. Would have been nice if it backed into a stall.

- leaving the supercharger (in the back of a divoded parking lot), it seemed to be c9nfused as to how to get out. Finally decised to make a right turn (correct), but was not turning fast enough and was going to jump the grass median.

- Everything else was great, just me being a bit nervous.l and learning to relax.

I think you might be right. Later on today it was making an unprotected left from a stop sign and it put it’s nose out. I let it do it’s thing and it did stop first. I guess I was just used to my car and the way it does it.
