FSD feels like watching a relative suffer from Alzheimer’s 😢
I used to be the biggest fan ever of FSD until about 6 months ago. I probably showed it to hundreds of people, opening their eyes to the future of fully self driving vehicles. It would blow their minds. I used to drive honestly 99% on FSD short of parking lots because it was essentially flawless. I felt like I was living in the future every single day and developed a very close and emotional bond with my vehicle. I literally didn’t hesitate to trust it with my life and my family’s.
But man, the last 6 months or so, I just don’t get it. Every single damn update is worse than the last and I am officially completely stopping to use it, not only does it do erratic and odd things, it’s just straight up unsafe - like super unsafe. Missing lane endings, changing lanes unnecessarily, driving way too aggressively and way to passively randomly, swerving wildly into new lanes. Man, it’s so sad.
In some ways it may be a blessing. The only thing holding me to Tesla was its incredible software capabilities, most importantly FSD. And although I’m not ready to leave Tesla just yet, I’m staring to contemplate it. I feel I’ve done my duty and constantly reported the disengagements but now it’s dangerous driving and I can’t risk it just to try and help FSD improve.
This post isn’t meant to be a complaint, I’m grateful for the 1+ years of FSD, and I just wish I could have it back and I wish Tesla continued growth and success. I know they’ll get back on track someday, hopefully soon.
