  • Tesla offered a free 30-day trial so I decided to try it out. There were a few things I liked, but overall I don’t think I’d pay for it
    There were some very confusing moments, a few times when I had no idea what it was doing based on traffic, and it really struggled when it came to construction (which is everywhere!)
    I can see why there are issues and why governments want to better regulate it.
    In the end, it was fun and I’m glad they offered to let us try it. But that’s enough for me.

    I finished the free month of FSD. I enjoy driving cars and motorcycles, so babysitting a computer just isn't my idea of fun. I want to either drive or have the vehicle be completely autonomous so I can sleep or read a book. The current performance of FSD makes me optimistic about the future of autonomous vehicles.

      Take a few 3,000 mile trip and you might change your mind.I have 13 pre-1972 cars, they are my fun cars, but they only see cloudless, warm, sunny days...

      I pretty much agree with that assessment. The future of real self driving is exciting.

    When it started to slow in the construction zone, all that you needed to do was to hit the accelerator....

      Good to know.
      But in the moment, it just freaked me out. I think I maybe hit the accelerator, but I probably pulled the wheel too, which disengaged it.

      As I noted, I’m not ready to spend the money (either in full or as a subscription) right now.
      But… when the subscription ended yesterday, and it reverted to autopilot, I realized I missed some features.
      I can understand the allure of it and it was clever of Tesla to roll it out for a 30 day trial.

      That I would believe. It was fun to try in any case. And when it progresses a bit more, I may try a month of paid subscription just to see what’s what.
