Share your FSD 13.2.1 experiences - Good & Bad

[ABILISK]

It’s pretty great on freeways, but yesterday I exited onto two separate 2-way service roads and needed to turn left. CT exited and tried to go into the oncoming traffic lane (I guess it thought that was the left turn lane, even though there was a double yellow line). I took over and sent the voice feedback thingy.

It still makes city street turns painfully slowly and then doesn’t like getting up to speed. It drives like it weighs 7,000 pounds and has bad brakes or something. Wait…

For me it did Oakland to LA door to door with no intervention except for reversing into the supercharger stall. It did amazingly well on a busy route 5 overtaking on the right and inserting itself back on the left lane. Set on agressive with 40% offset it was driving between 70 to 85, staying mostly at 79 which is perfect for me.
In agressive, the follow distance is short, I would have been a little further if it was me driving. But still I am extremely impressed.

For me, I back into my driveway up near the garage door for two reasons:

1. I bring the charger chord out from the garage to charge it. (It slips between a small gap at the edge of the garage door when closed).
2. The Cyberbeast looks much cooler like that on my slightly inclined driveway. ?

Here is how I park:

The truck is too big to actually fit in my garage, or I would park it inside. And I have a 3-car garage too. Home builders just don't build them deep enough for trucks...or rather, architects don't design them deep enough. You would have to custom design a garage to make it big enough to fit a truck here in California.

So, until they teach the Cybertruck to back into driveways, it won't be useful to me.

Love your wrap! btw, mine is a 20’ garage, and I can fit my Beast. It’s very tight with 6-8 inch clearance on both sides, but it works. It took me couple of days to figure out the alignment. Now I can park easily with just one go without going back and forth!

Going back to OP’s question - v13 is smoother as others mentioned. My CT doesn’t tailgate or aggressively break anymore, including night times; however, I feel the regen breaking is more relaxed now. I’m finding myself applying breaks manually. I wish we had an option to increase the regen.

Actually there are two special addresses Tesla stores - Home & Work. Thats what I was talking about. You see Home just below the Nav address field for quick pickup (and Work if you are at home).

There were some on TMC saying if you use GPS co-ordinates instead of address, it works better.

In your case its a long drive-way ... but for us its just a turn from the road.

How do you use GPS coordinates instead of address? I will have to Google this up. I will set up the garage as the final destination so it will enter it 100% of the time. Right now, the final destination is on the street before the house. It goes into the driveway as a courtesy above and beyond its duty to take me to my home address. Once in the driveway, it only goes into the garage when the door is fully open with the truck still far out, and only occasionally. During the day, the inside of the garage looks quite dark compared to the exterior. The truck may be afraid of falling off a cliff if it goes into a dark cave or hits something it cannot see. It actually steered to the side as though to avoid the unseen danger.

I was a little disappointed. Still tries to pass in heavy traffic within 0.7 miles to the exit. Twice, tried to turn into a double line shoulder lane near an exit. Still hugs the left to the point of driving on the rumble strip. Yet if I'm driving I get a DEFCON 5 warning for barely touching the line. The wiper is still inconsistent. Not on in the rain but randomly swipes in bright sunlight. I've heard the 13.1 in the MY and M3 are much better so I'm sure it's coming our way. Loading 13.2 now.

13.2 on CT just got it. I think it centers better on lanes, accelerates better to target speeds. Overall feels way better than 13.1 which was incredible . RIP 13.1

I believe by tapping on the map ...

A "best/better" follow distance for me is the 2-second rule, and one that would simplify coding for FSD.

FSD is not "coded" - it is supposed to be end-to-end NN. That means the neural network figures out what distance to follow at. Tesla can only change that only by targeted training videos ...

Just drove mine 181 miles down the highway, through mountain curvy roads in the rain and I didn't do a thing except pull out of my driveway and activate FSD. The truck did great. Kept distances well, slowed in reasonable time for slowing cars in front. Handled the mountain curves like a champ. Actually, it takes them really nicely. It is smooth around the curves so passengers don't get car sick. I am really impressed. V12 was not even close to what I am experiencing with V13. We didn't run into snowy or icy roads, just wet roads and some heavy rain, but still handled that well. I can't wait to see what V14 would be after seeing the advancement from 12 to 13.

My wipers come on for no reason and then come on at different intervals. I ended up turning the whole system off

Make sure your windshield is clean Infront of the cameras. The car rarely does something for the hell of it.

Happy with it. My biggest complaint was addressed with v13. The truck wasn't slowing down fast enough when heading into small towns (speed traps), Now it handles speed limit changes much quicker. Getting better with every update. Between this any my wife's Y, I can see unsupervised being a reality.

Unfortunately, you are describing the exact same problems I am still seeing on 13.2.2. FSD drove on the rumble line to the left like it was not there. I had to disengage. The solution is not to let FSD drive in the left lane. My wiper occasionally (rarely) swipes as well, but the windshield is a little dirty from winter driving on salt-treated roads.

Feels like 13.2.2 smoothed out a lot of the little annoying bugs and regressions from 13.2.1.
I set the Max speed to +10% and noticed that it still goes a little higher if there is a car in front that it can follow. Which is fine with me.

Still has a few weird new quirks around parking, but on the road feels very natural.

Another big difference I noticed now after about 20 hours with 13.2.2 is that it navigates early away from bottlenecks. Several times it changed route from the planned one shown on the map which was a confusing UX. At first I thought it's a bug , but after a few situations I realized it dynamically learns about accidents and bottlenecks and re-routes a few exits away from the trouble area. In the next update there needs to be some sort of UI indication that re-routing is an intentional FSD decision.

Thusfar, my biggest complaint is crosswinds. In minor crosswinds, the truck does fine. When they get to 25-30-40+, the truck doesn't stay in the lane very well. At minimum, it'll hug one side. At worst, it won't keep lanes. It is almost like not enough steering input is allowed to counteract how much of a brick it is from the side.

 

[seussiii]

it needs more balls.

mine seems to pull out slowly in front of traffic. I also have a left turning lane that it likes to slow down to 35 (while in a 55 fast lane) before it gets into. plenty of room in the turning lane to slow down etc.

this was on standard.
