You don’t get a strike for driving over the speed limit when it disengages.My two cents -
Exceeding the speed that FSD is set at gives a blue-warning on the screen. This happens all the time, since FSD typically drives 5 mph lower than I have it set. If this warning is not reacted to quickly, like maybe 5 seconds, it turns into a red-warning (strike). I typically get 5 blue strikes each drive, and have a lot of red ones. Red ones are also related to the tiny font on the screen, which I can not read, and the short time given to read the screen, like 2 seconds. I like to drive +5 to the speed limit, and the current settings and vehicle characteristics don't allow this to my satisfaction.
If you lose FSD on a drive, you also lose the ability to use cruise control. On long drives, this requires stopping and restarting to gain functionality. Pulling over on the freeway to regain cruise control is annoying.
If you have a second profile for yourself, you can switch profiles on-the-fly as you drive, and gain cruise control functionality. If you go this route, make sure all the other settings are good, such as music. In my case I have to log-out and log-in to my music accounts, which is a pain.
What is annoying is that when it disengages, it screams at you to take over, yet I’m holding the steering wheel and frantically hitting the disengage button. It wants me to turn, but usually when this happens to me I’m in heavy traffic with cars on both sides, and I need to be paying close attention to actually driving.
