Why does it do what it does?!
So after some community urging, I upgraded to FDS on my 22 M3P, and I have to say, it’s really terrible. I’m hoping with some input I can understand how you guys use this effectively, but here are the issues I experience daily:
Passes on the right when there is literally nowhere to go. Just as it says, FSD in hurry mode will pass on the right when there is a vehicle ahead of the car in passing, making it useless.
Takes odd routes that I would never take, even with the “save time” setting set to 10 min.(most of the time it takes longer going its way). Super frustrating.
Cannot keep up with traffic or maintain speed: I have speed max set to 85mph and never ever will it hit 85 mph on its own. In my state if you’re not doing 85 you’re getting run over on the highway. This for me isn’t a “in a rush” problem, but a legit safety problem as my car will merge into the fast lane and then slow down to 80-82 and hold up traffic causing me to have to disable to get back up to speed or take the strike going over speed and then not being able to use FSD for the remainder of the drive.
Literally isn’t FSD. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I constantly have to move my wheel to get it to work and stay engaged. I’m not texting, my seat is upright and in clear view of the camera, and yes I’m set to FSD in the menu. Might as well be autopilot.
Snail like from a stop- Like so slow to get going at a 4 way I have been cut off by other drivers thinking I’m waiting on them to go. Same with red lights, have been honked at from behind for taking off so slowly.
Are you all just lolly-gagging in the slow lane in FSD? It seems like if you need to keep up with traffic and not cause a slow down in the faster lanes, you literally can’t use FSD, at least in my case.
I want to love it, and for my commuting (95miles round trip, I need to love it, but it falls very short for me in nearly every category.
At this time the only place it feels like I benefit from FSD is afternoon stop and go traffic. It excels here, but for me, only here.
Any input is appreciated.
