A little stutter on the 152 exit
I was on 152 today, exiting the highway in a turning lane, and the car did something I can't quite explain. It stuttered — a quick brake and a little wobble in the…

My biggest gripe: it won't slow down in construction zones
Kansas City is one long construction season, so this one matters to me. Even on 14.3.4, the car still doesn't seem to want to slow down through the work zones — and…

How I deal with FSD's speed-limit misreads — and the I-35/I-29 speed trap
FSD still misreads speed limits, mostly in construction zones, and I've found a way to live with it. The trick is the speed profile. If I'm in Standard and the…

Parking is still where FSD loses me (the Verizon dead-end)
Parking has been hit-or-miss for the last couple of versions, and 14.3.4 hasn't fully fixed it. Sometimes it wants to park way too far from the building. Sometimes…

The car is braver than I am on unprotected lefts
Dirty Tesla says 14.3 will commit to an unprotected left the instant the blinker comes on, and he's right — I've seen it. The car is very comfortable making a left…

Everyone talks about brake stabs. I don't get them.
There's a lot of talk online about "brake stabs" — the car jabbing the brakes for no good reason. I keep hearing about it, and honestly, I don't run into it. Maybe…

Stop signs, summer trees, and what FSD sees before I do
I've never had FSD run a stop sign on me. What I have seen — especially this time of year — is the car not spotting a sign until it's right up on it, because the…

The attention nagging has dropped way down — I think it started easing back around 14.3.2, and it's been getting quieter ever since I first picked the car up. At…
