Same issues. I find putting it into "Sports" mode in "Dynamics" does seem to help somewhat.

I have this also, on both sides. Too far left in left lanes and when making sweeping right turns on the freeway. And too far right in right lanes, most notable in city driving. To me it looks like the visual on the screen is where the car is, off center. Will try to disengage and report. I will need to do that disengagement deliberately because when it disengages unexpected I am mostly too slow to do a proper report.


about this:

In other threads I have read that this is not possible. And that is my experience also. Or the truck doesn’t move when I apply a gentle force or with a little more force it disengages. Are you doing anything special to get the force exactly there where it will steer the truck but not disengages?
I've found that I can do this if ever so slight pressure is applied, and long enough for the truck I guess to get the hint. Over apply pressure and of course it disengages. Does it learn from this? Not a chance.

Not really, just apply pressure without disengaging. You'll feel the wheels actually turning. sometimes I have to hold it there for several seconds.

We traveled from Austin to Denver during extreme winds a few weeks ago and it had trouble maintaining centerline, yet did fine with no wind. The last two versions have gotten progressively worse, with the latest staying on rumble strips on a Texas back road that I often travel. The previous version allowed some steering correction to realign to the road's center; the new version disengages FSD. It's like Tesla does no pre-release testing - we are the Beta testers.
Exactly what I see. Cross winds blow my CT to the downwind side of the lane. the blue line showing the projected path seems to look like a gradual move to the center but it never seems to get there. I sometimes see this without wind and sometimes it will ride the rumble strips, whether dividing the lane from the shoulder or dividing my lane from the oncoming traffic on a 2-lane highway. Definitely needs some work in this area. Most other aspects of FSD are way better than the Model Y I had until 6mo ago.

Same! My CT just hugged the right shoulder line with FSD. checked cameras and all were clean of debris. After terminating FSD I did send voice recording.

Am I alone with this issue? I have used FSD in my model y and it’s spot on dead center. The cybertruck seems to be wanting g to ride the line to almost hitting the rumble strips. Is this just software or something more series like cameras are not calibrated properly?

It does that to me too and it makes me uneasy because there’s times where the shoulder is literally beside the yellow line specially on the highway.

Is the lane-drifting glitch ONLY noticeable on highways (like divided ones)? Or is it noticeable on slower speed roads?
I used FSD on a 45 mile trip on secondary roads, and it seemed perfect.
Did I miss something?

Have you made any modifications to your truck that might occur around the camera pod on the windshield? Go into service mode and tap on cameras and check your GPS signal strength. I have had FSD issues due to weak GPS. It has three satellite systems it looks at. Make sure all three signal are in the green.

I'm doing 500 miles on Wed. hopefully mine is ok. Sounds like the old problem I used to have with it not centering.

Just like stop signs with a white outline.
Yeah, if your in a Mini in the right lane trying to make a right turn it’s hard to see oncoming traffic around the CT as it is, even worse when the CT doesn’t stop behind the line.

I’ve had the same issue. Took it to Tesla today and the issue appears to be resolved now. Y’all might want to look into how to do the ā€œcamera pitch adjustmentā€ that’s listed in the tech notes. Here’s the note from the tech:

Good to know! I may try to recalibrate mine before exploring a service request.

CT does not drive in the center of the lane at highway speeds. Seems to do pretty good below 45 mph, unless the wind is blowing.

On the highway, it rides right of center while in the right lane, and left of center in the left lane. It travels outside of the lane repeatedly, often driving completely off the road. In curves it stays to the outside - the opposite of what humans do.

I have washed my windows, my cameras, and calibrated the cameras. But it drives wacky 10% of the time. My model 3 drives perfectly in the center. In the CT my passengers have asked me not to use FSD because it is so stressful.

On the good side - Tesla seems to have fixed the windshield wiper issue. It now performs when I want it too, only when I want it to, and delivers fluid when requested. This is significant.
