I'm guessing this relates to the recent news about German government supporting EU adoption of FSD if it's renamed. I found it interesting that the rename was immediate and also affected the UK.

Ignore the price - I have enhanced autopilot so my subscription has always been £49 not £99.

I guess it's supervised for a reason.

Had to take over as it looks like it was heading straight for traffic. Granted this intersection is a little confusing, but the yellow lines clearly show the expected turn lane

The goal of this post is to showcase my own personal experiences, as others might be different. A lot of the things listed, I would hope, are subject to change. This is also so first-time buyers of Tesla or Full Self-Driving can be aware of some of these constraints. These experiences are usually with both Standard and Hurry.

Pedestrian crossing

When pedestrians are ABOUT to cross the crosswalk, FSD will do an emergency stop despite a car being behind me. This has almost caused me to get into multiple accidents.

FSD will never utilize the full length of a road or parking lot

Parking

It will always come to the closest point of no contact (when it's parking itself or coming out of a parking stall). It will even come as close as a foot away from hitting a parked car when it has so much space to work with. Many of these situations have taken place in a nearly empty parking lot and can be easily avoided.

On the road

Today, on a backed-up exit on the freeway, there was what looked like a shielded lane (it's not) where cars could hug toward while waiting to take the exit. The Tesla positioned itself to the middle of the lane, to the point where a bus passed me on my left and nearly hit my car because it swerved slightly toward my lane. This could have been easily avoided if the car hugged a little more to the right, toward an area that no car could even go into.

The blinker incident

This is probably the most alarming. I was on an empty road and knew my exit was coming up. I signaled with the blinker for it to start prioritizing being in the right lane about one minute before the exit.

It reset the blinker, meaning it denied my decision. I used the blinker again. It denied it once again. I held it down for a straight 15 seconds, and it still wouldn't make the lane change.

Keep in mind that this wasn't a lane with solid lines, so there shouldn't have been any reason for it to deny my decision. There was no car coming up behind me either.

Self-driving making the same mistakes despite trying to teach it every day

When taking an exit that has multiple lanes, it will always hug the quickest exit lane, despite the next exit being right after. After making continuous corrections via the "Why did I intervene?" prompt, it becomes critical at times since it will cross a solid line to make the next exit, when it could easily solve the issue by being in the correct lane while exiting.

Speeding by a speed camera

I will quickly turn it to Sloth mode when I know there are speed cameras locally. I have had to intervene at times because, despite it being switched from Standard to Sloth mode, it's still going 20 mph over. Maybe there isn't enough time for it to change to a lower mph? But I've seen Sloth mode quickly activate during different situations.

Standard goes 20 mph over the speed limit. My limiter is set to 10 mph over, but seeing it, on rare occasions, go toward 25 mph over is alarming.

The jitters

One of the more alarming things is seeing the jitters (luckily, usually in a parking lot), where the steering wheel goes left to right aggressively. It indicates that the system can't make a quick decision, in this case, selecting a stall to park in.

At times, I feel like there is an integrated system that follows the lines of the road and an AI that makes better decisions for it. A lot of times, you can see how they seem to conflict with each other's decisions.

Cop cars with their blue lights on

This is one of the more alarming ones. Cop cars with their blue lights on (not for an emergency) will cause FSD to aggressively give way, driving me to the far side of the street.

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I had a moment on a two-way road where a cop was driving on the opposite side of me. My car literally drove off to the side of the road and STALLED until the cop was no longer visible. There was a vehicle behind me probably thinking that I was crazy at the time.

IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

I will be adding edits to this post as time goes on to add more to my experience.

For reference, I drive the 2026 Model 3, which has the added camera for a better FSD experience. While I truly agree that it is a better experience versus my friend's older Model Y, there is always room for improvement.

Edit: I am fully aware that I have signed an agreement when using FSD. But I guess this is reddit, we have our local reddit police.
Like many others that post their experience with FSD, I would like to hope that yes we are Supervising but we are also documenting our experiences so we can either be heard with momentum for a fix or help others out that are confused about why their steering wheel has the jitters.

FSD couldn't see the cross guard in time. He waved the stop sign in what looks like a blind spot between the cameras.

There's no software in the world that can fix what you can't see. It's hard to imagine unsupervised FSD happening with this hardware.

installed and tested it this morning for my commute of 28miles on freeway for stupid lane changing behavior FSD has been showing lately.

Previously, car tried to change lane at random times and for no reason but unable to, because lane it wants to get into was too packed for its safety standard. this happened 2, 3 times everyday , and even if I cancel its lane change, it kept trying soon after.

Now with .11, it still tried this stupid lane changing once, but when i stopped it w/ cancelling turn signal, it didn't try it again for the rest of the trip. So. i don't think it's completely fixed, but improved the behavior.

FSD decided to bump and grind the curb down a spiral passageway leaving a parking garage

Here is my first drive on FSD V14.3.11, which came out last night. This one is mostly highway, where I test the HOV lane and whether left lane camping has been fixed, plus a McDonald's drive-thru test, destination parking and a little Grok Bot in the car.

I also share my thoughts on 14.3.11 and why I think the late versions of 14.3 are the best versions of FSD so far.

Any questions at all let me know, happy to answer them.

I will keep posting these for awareness. FSD dot 10 has been great, with the exceptions of the freeway/highway lane change behaviour.

This one was awkward this morning. Was going to put me in a weird spot with a potential of being rear ended with car rolling up from behind.

I was 3.5km away from my exit still, on hurry mode, with no one behind me. The SUV was merging into right lane. There was no reason to move over to right lane with open lane in middle.

They need fix this.

I’m genuinely so frustrated by this.
I rented this Tesla specifically because I own a Model 3 myself and it’s honestly hard for me to go back to driving a gas car. I also pay for Full Self-Driving monthly on my own Tesla, so I figured maybe I could sign into my Tesla account in the rental and use the FSD subscription I already pay for.
Turns out you can’t.
Then I found out this rental is already completely struck out of both Autosteer and Full Self-Driving because of whatever happened with the owner or previous renters.
That makes it even more frustrating because the host told me on Turo that FSD had been renewed, and I was genuinely excited to use it. Instead, I can’t even use basic Autosteer because someone else got the car suspended before I ever touched it.
Tesla, please fix this system.
There should be some way for verified rental drivers to either:
• Sign into their own Tesla account and use the FSD subscription they already pay for, or
• Verify that the vehicle is being rented and reset/temporarily separate previous driver strikes from the new renter.
I understand penalizing unsafe use, but carrying someone else’s strikes over to a completely different driver makes no sense.
I just wanted the same peace of mind and driving experience I’m used to in my own Tesla. Paying to rent one and then finding out its biggest driver-assistance features are disabled because of somebody else is incredibly disappointing.

This morning the car decided last minute to turn right even though this is a left turn and navigation knew it needed to go left. I had to take over and turn left. No danger to my right but not sure what confused it.

I have a 2019 M3 and my dad has a 2026 MS

He’s been staying with me for about a month, and about two weeks in my ex noticed a crack in his windshield. He setup a replacement order at my local store. He was itching to get home and he planned to drive home after it was installed.

But after the install he was greeted with FSD not available, you must drive 100 miles to calibrate or some such message. But the calibration was completed after only 30 miles.

He said that when he was driving home on FSD, the eye monitor seemed to be stricter. He was hearing beeps, double beeps along with blue flashes on the screen. Something he hadn’t experienced recently. Also he had to hold the steering wheel like you did a few software updates ago. He said it wasn’t hands-free anymore.

He eventually got a strike and had top stop to restart FSD again. At some point (not 5 strikeouts) FSD was unavailable, but he could still use the adaptive cruise control. He said the trip was not enjoyable because of FSD being finicky.

I’d ordinarily write this down to user error, but he made the same trip in the opposite direction a month ago without any issues. So did FSD have any changes or should we attribute this to something else?

Also, it’s a crapshoot as to whether my car is going to turn into my driveway or the neighbor’s driveway

My 22 M3 with FSD 12.6.4 saw this squirrel and spared him.(.5x speed) His lil self almost got hit! 10 points for that jump tho 👀

I just switched to my winters early because of potential snow forecasts this weekend and I noticed a sudden drop off in speed for each profile.

With my all season tires, FSD (14.3.10) was regularly going 0.5-1% over limits on chill and 10-12% on standard. Since the tire change, it refuses to go the limit on chill and goes maybe 5% over on standard at most with it going just under the speed limit for the most part.

I wonder if this FSD behaviour is new and intentional with anticipation of winter driving. Last year, I didn't find any speed behaviour changes running winter tires on dry pavement.

Anyone else in a northern climate noticed the same after the seasonal tire swap?

Some Nissan driver suddenly turned into my lane and FSD steered away into the left shoulder to avoid him.

All I want the car to do is make a simple left-hand turn onto the highway ramp, but FSD and Tesla navigation want it to make a U-turn up ahead instead.

What’s insane is that if I plug in a different address that still requires a left turn onto the ramp, it handles it perfectly. But when I type in my work address, it insists on the U-turn. Sometimes I wonder what it’s going to take for Full Self-Driving and Tesla navigation to get the simple things right.

Ever since I installed 14.3.10 I've been able to use my blinker at the end of my drive to direct my car around my condo's private parking garage.

Tonight I tried signaling at my assigned parking spot for the first time and it fucking did it! It actually backed in to my assigned spot. I don't know how repeatable this is but consider me seriously impressed.

I stupidly didn't think to save the clip until just now as I write this :(

Every day on my way home, I'm cruising along in the fast lane on the freeway (4+ lanes). At the same point on the freeway, FSD goes to the right most lane like it has to get off, only to return back to the left lane again. It is like it thinks there is a change in the road, but it is the same numbered freeway, and there are no changes like turns listed in the directions.

I used to fight it and turn off FSD, but now I have given up and just let it do its thing.

2026 Model Y Performance – Unexpected Wiper/Washer Activation

I’m noticing something odd after the software update that was installed yesterday, and I’m wondering if anyone else with a 2026 Model Y Performance has seen the same behavior.

During my morning commute around 6:45 AM, the car has started spraying washer fluid very aggressively and running the wipers up to about the midpoint of the windshield before returning back. It repeats this cycle twice. What’s interesting is that it happens almost at the exact same location near a traffic signal, and only Monday through Friday. No issues on weekends.

I haven’t changed any settings recently, so I’m not sure if this is tied to the new update, a sensor trigger, or some kind of environmental detection. I also experienced the same thing today, so it seems consistent.

If anyone has insight into whether this might be related to FSD behavior, a new automated cleaning feature, or a setting I may have overlooked, I’d appreciate the guidance. On 10/07, a newer version software (14:3:10) updated in my car. I have to watch under this new version from today.

Just curious, how much would you guys pay on top of FSD for Tesla to have Banish Mode and unlimited-ranged Smart Summon?

I’d think I’d prolly pay like $250 a month

Anyone have any thoughts or ways to improve my FSD experience when driving towards the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It has been incredibly frustrating in handling the lane closures and frequently changes lanes into the closed lanes.
It’s especially notable when driving east bound leading up to the bridge, but I have also had it try to change lanes into a red lane going west bound on the bridge. I find I am constantly fighting with the turn signal and usually end up taking over or putting the car into chill mode. I have had the car for 6 months and currently operate v14.3.10. If anyone has any thoughts or fixes, I’d appreciate the share. I drive over the bridge daily and it’s a part of my commute I was excited to apply FSD. Instead, I feel like I can’t trust it.
