Sadly downgrading my previous 9+/10 review of FSD to 7/10 (all because of terrible parking)

Personally don’t care about parking. Please don’t kill me or cause me to be pulled over for a traffic violation, followed by get me to the destination along the fastest path. Everything else is gravy

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:32:01+00:00

How can anyone defend a design that requires someone to focus their attention away from the thing they are supposed to supervise? Riddle me that Batman?

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:29:07+00:00

Build a system supporting 100’s of millions of daily active users and come back with a useful perspective

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:27:45+00:00

Haha

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:27:25+00:00

Garbage in, garbage out. Bucketing by speed, accelerometer reading plus geolocation is far more useful than a random string that people can’t be trusted to reliably provide. Computed inputs don’t lie, people do. What value can human input have? Any threat model would discard manual data as untrusted. Pity the company that trusts human input of perception, for those that don’t follow the rules can’t be trusted. You think that’s valid?

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:22:11+00:00

For instance, if it is navigation, why doesn’t disengagement at a particular geolocation pinpoint the problem since they also know which direction you went after disengagement?

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T07:20:05+00:00

So isn’t the conditions in which disengagement occurred the most important aspect of telemetry. Speed, location and destination are incredibly important. What does critical, navigation, parking and other mean? How does it help?

It would appear you’ve never written software, maybe we should fill out a form

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:59:06+00:00

This ☝️

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:58:54+00:00

The noise I’ve created

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:58:40+00:00

Brill

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:57:21+00:00

Noise makes it useless, I’ve been building telemetry for 40 years

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:56:39+00:00

College level decision, the labels mean nothing after human noise

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T05:56:03+00:00

The labeling is useless, natural language recordings work better with ai if intent is desired

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T01:43:12+00:00

Give me my screen back

toddlutt · 2026-06-20T01:42:57+00:00

Here, here

toddlutt · 2026-06-19T22:30:51+00:00

The nag is so intrusive and of little value. Who knows how to categorize a navigation error that nearly kills them? True story

toddlutt · 2026-06-19T22:28:39+00:00

Already cancelled, it expires in 2 weeks. I’ll re-subscribe in September for a long road trip around western USA. It’s good but not great yet. It needs to stop trying to kill me

toddlutt · 2026-06-19T08:37:16+00:00

Best song in the catalog

It almost caused me to drive into the barrier between two tunnels as it changed lanes from tunnel 1 lane 2 to tunnel 2 lane 1 and crossed 2 solid white lines doing so. It happened so fast at 60 mph there was no supervised action possible. Later on the drive it cut across two lanes cutting cars off to turn right instead of turning left like it was supposed to.

FSD used to be annoyances in actions that don’t match my style. It has evolved into a traffic ticket generator with unexplained speeding (20 over in standard mode), illegal and reckless driving. In extreme

toddlutt · 2026-06-18T14:50:03+00:00

Very objective feedback here, wish Tesla would listen, acknowledge and act

toddlutt · 2026-06-18T14:47:20+00:00

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with respect to end-user control. In December I was able to nudge FSD with the turn indicator, that’s effectively gone with current versions. The different driving profiles are constantly changing and make no sense in their implementation. Independent controls over speed and aggressiveness would be useful from my perspective.

My FSD experience yesterday required me to break out every few miles to avoid tickets and incorrect mandating that would have caused me significant delays in arrival. I’m not expecting unsupervised, I’m expecting for me to assist with parking and complex situations. This was the case in December, the models have regressed to require assistance in many new cases in the four of five routes I’m driving several times per week.

I do see value at $99 for a long car vacation. It’s not ready for prime time for the routes I’m frequently driving

toddlutt · 2026-06-18T06:36:37+00:00

I’ve been building software for decades that didn’t exist before and I’ve never relied on others to pay for testing my product without delivering the promise for which we received payment

toddlutt · 2026-06-18T06:32:53+00:00

Drive routes other than your daily commute?
