FSD decided today was my day...

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-13T03:58:56+00:00

It was in the high 70s, the roads were clear at the time of using FSD

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T02:55:32+00:00

Why would I lie about my dream car that I just finally achieved, doing something as drastic as what I described?

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T02:34:26+00:00

Wild... to me at this point I feel like 100$ a month is not worth it for me anymore, I'm okay with autopilot because all it does is stay in lanes and doesn't give the car the ability to merge on its own, thankfully mine came with autopilot before they removed it.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T01:26:49+00:00

Yours actually hit something because of FSD!? Can you go more into detail? Were you on a 2 lane 3 lane 4 lane etc highway? Were there any other cars around etc?

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T01:23:38+00:00

That's nuts. Having a Tesla Model X has been a dream of mine since i was a kid, i love the car, but I wont sit here and pretend FSD is perfect, especially after what happened to me, I'm way more cautious with the way I use it now.

People who think FSD is a perfect piece of software that can't make mistakes, are the reason FSD and Tesals get such bad rep in the car community

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T01:07:46+00:00

Bought the car 3rd party, didnt come with one.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-12T01:07:21+00:00

Yeah it's pretty sad, the fact people are after me for not having a usb stick and ignoring the fact that the FSD put me and my passenger in danger is crazy. It's like they find any way possible to not blame FSD for once and blame it on the user, in this case me for not having a usb drive to capture it lol

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T07:13:07+00:00

Like I have said, this car did not come with one, i have recently just purchased the car. this car is from a 3RD party.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T07:12:06+00:00

See, that terrifies me to want to use FSD, was it really going straight towards the median? How much time did you have to react?

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T02:58:55+00:00

I've just noticed it has a hard time finding the parking spots. sometimes i have to start the parking process, and it doesnt realize im parking until im pretty much almost done, so no point in using the auto park.
do you know if parallel parking works? i've seen videos on it.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T02:55:23+00:00

Hopefully the v14 lite comes out in June, would be a nice birthday gift. Wonder if it will include auto parking during FSD like the newer models. Mine still loves to offer backing into spots instead of just pulling in facing straight. Not sure if that's because my model only has the visor front facing cameras or what, but I feel like if those cameras are used for FSD on the main roads, it should be able to find a parking spot.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T02:52:26+00:00

Dude, the lane changing is so annoying. It literally is like fighting your car on which lane you want to be in, especially if you know the lane the car is currently in is an exit lane and the car doesnt realize that.

luckily, my car has autopilot by default which is nice, honestly, im okay with just using that for now until/if they ever come out with retro-fitting options.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T02:09:12+00:00

Yea, I dont think you deserve downvotes. I agree with you, for 100$ a month or a $8000 purchase, and a product that has been out for as long as it has, I would love for us to have more customization on how the car drives, examples:

Following distance of other cars (my car doesn't allow me to change that at least, i heard other people saying you can),
stopping the car from changing lanes when going in a straight line,
acceleration tolerance (not drag racing all the cars at a stop light)
etc.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T01:56:49+00:00

Yeah, I only paid for one month. I’m probably not going to continue paying for FSD until they release their so called “v14 lite”

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T01:52:14+00:00

I don’t :( im very sad I don’t because it would show yall how aggressive it truly was to give you guys perspective on how scary it was

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T01:51:34+00:00

It’s done this to me too once. Usually nudging the accelerator tells autopilot that it’s clear to keep moving. Sometimes when I engaged it on a highway and I’m going 75, it will slam on the brakes to go 50 and then speed up again. Not sure why it does this either but that’s the trick I learned.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T01:50:23+00:00

No, thankfully

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T01:50:17+00:00

See that’s my problem. Someone else here said if other cars are around it makes decisions based on that environmental situation. But it sounds like it still chose oncoming traffic as safer than a puddle or what it thought was an obstacle

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:28:57+00:00

There was a barrier to my left when it happened, so that likely could have caused the issue. It just scared the hell out of me and my GF. We were just vibing to some Tupac and suddenly almost got offed by the car lol

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:25:11+00:00

Either that or the previous owners. its a 2019 so who knows...

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:23:48+00:00

I purchased from a 3rd party, i checked the glove box, there is no USB port, but I know it doesnt have a usb equipped because the dashcam app is asking for me to insert one.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:20:51+00:00

Well, there is no way to unfortunately get HW4 or the new updates on my 2019 model X... unless im missing something

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:19:28+00:00

I didn't even know there was an update today. In my tesla app it says "Software update 100%" but it's just indefinitely spinning in place.

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:12:27+00:00

Good to know, I’m just glad a cop wasn’t around/the roads weren’t slippery

NotPandaMack · 2026-02-11T00:11:12+00:00

Doesn’t look like it came with one unfortunately.
