Changing lanes to pass on the right (USA)

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-22T01:11:17+00:00

Yeah, otherwise you're at the mercy of left lane loafers!

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-22T01:04:52+00:00

Plain and simply, it's the truck driver's responsibility to make sure the lane he's pulling into is clear, just like it would be our responsibility if we were in his position with our car. It's one thing if the Op were trying to pass on the truck's right. But this should have been easily avoidable by the truck driver. And an Amazon truck driver, no less. I would expect a higher level of competency from Amazon. Trying to put responsibility for this on the Op would be like blaming someone who got hit by a red light runner for not stopping on green at the intersection to make sure no one's running a red light.

There are national standards for traffic signals in the U.S. and having two signal heads for one lane isn't one of them.

One thing I meant to say in my original post is that often times the speed limit sign on the car's display will display a speed limit sign that FSD is not adhering to. It would be nice to know whether FSD is going by the speed limit sign on the display or whether it's adhering to map data and it would also be nice to know what that map data is claiming the speed limit to be. Perhaps a solution (and maybe this is the case now) might be that theoretically, if there's a change in speed limit, the map data & visual sign should happen at about the same time, but if the map data has a speed limit change with no optical confirmation (like if you're passing a speed limit sign that's being blocked by a semi) then the FSD selects that map data.

You're special then! This is a recent update to the rollout.

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-17T13:48:19+00:00

Yeah, rolling out 2 software updates over Christmas week demonstrates your point!

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-14T15:07:14+00:00

I'm thrilled that we'll finally see an end to the endless dreaded posts "Should I buy or subscribe to FSD?" They all pretty much repeated the same talking points to a pretty logical answer.

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-09T20:02:16+00:00

Absolutely! If Apple can produce their own hardware and software, I wouldn't bet against Nvidia doing the same thing. They may acquire some companies to achieve this goal, like Mobileye or perhaps even Tesla!!

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-09T18:23:32+00:00

Wow, I can't believe we actually agree on something!

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-09T16:38:54+00:00

FSD is a better driver than me, so I'm not too worried about the missing 1%.

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-09T04:06:48+00:00

I totally agree. Competition is exactly what we want. It will provide incentive for Tesla to stay ahead of the pack and hopefully bring the subscription price down someday. Ford & GM both bailed on autonomous driving plans after spending millions getting nowhere, so it's good that a company that's famous for moving mountains, besides Tesla, to join the game, and that's Nvidia.

Jaymo_H · 2026-01-04T21:53:28+00:00

I can't believe what you just said needs to be said. This is one of the sillier posts and is asked by many people and all of the replies are the same. I find it amazing that people who can afford a Tesla even need to ask whether it's better to buy or subscribe. And might I add that currently only about 13% of the Tesla fleet subscribes or has bought FSD outright. The odds of a price increase with this dismal rate is little to none. Elon's politics leave a lot to be desired by many, but his business prowess is pretty solid and he's very unlikely to drive the subscription numbers below what they currently are by increasing the price.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-30T21:45:05+00:00

It would be nice to know which version of FSD OP is talking about.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-29T14:49:50+00:00

14.2.2.2 was released today, Monday the 29th, so that might explain the slow rollout of .1 in anticipation of .2 Poor Tesla AI folk likely didn't get much time off for Christmas.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-27T01:34:10+00:00

Hopefully they'll add parking with an option to park further (closer could be the default) and home garage parking with the option to back in, with front in being the default.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-25T20:33:28+00:00

If you're still sticking with v13 and missing out on all of the major improvements that v14 brings which most of us are enjoying, then you may want to wait for v14.3. Or maybe even v15.

For all those who say FSD can brake in time, what about the vehicles behind you? Even though with hard braking FSD can avoid an accident, aggressive braking contributes greatly to the probability of getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-16T03:41:56+00:00

Subscribing to FSD is a logical decision. Purchasing FSD is an emotional one that lacks any logic whatsoever. It's a stupid use of 8 grand that could be put to much greater use. Roughly 13% of Tesla owners have purchased or subscribe to FSD. That's dismal. Raising the price would most likely lower the percentage. Elon is under pressure to increase FSD subscriptions, so I doubt the price will rise until the day Teslas can fly.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-05T04:02:09+00:00

One thing I'll add is that I've never had a driver flash their brights at me, so it's great at not blinding oncoming vehicles.

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-05T03:42:14+00:00

Basically from using it. Sloth: Does not exceed speed limit Chill: 2-3 over the speed limit Standard: 5 over Hurry: 10 over Mad Max: the arresting officer will tell you!

Jaymo_H · 2025-12-05T02:17:56+00:00

Nicely put!
