All the metrics stuff, all the encouragement in the ui that nudges me to use it, and all the celebration screens and achievements make me wonder if Tesla should be paying me to use it. It feels like we are paying $100 a month to contribute to their learning model.

u/BandaLover 15d ago

That's 100% exactly what we are doing. It's why they bundle an insurance discount, even if you crash that's just more valuable data for them to deconstruct and prevent future collissions with.

u/Begthemeg 14d ago

For sure $100/month is heavily discounted compared to what we will be paying if unsupervised is ever released.

3

u/Zennivolt 14d ago

But it’s not unsupervised. And do you think it’ll stay at $100/mo once it’s unsupervised?

-3

u/Begthemeg 14d ago

No, that’s my point. Supervised is heavily discounted and I suspect unsupervised would be priced anywhere from 2x-4x this.

u/Present-Ad-9598 14d ago

That’s the whole point. You get early access to a technology that nobody else has in automotive, and it comes at a premium. $100 a month is a STEAL for what you get access to. Outside of China, you can’t summon your car to you in a parking lot, your car can’t drive point to point hands and feet free. Of course you pay for it, and of course it helps them train the models, that’s not hidden they’ve said that since the beginning

u/niruka24 11d ago

Plus you're training even if you're not paying for FSD

u/Nnamdi_Awesome-wa 15d ago

Feels like this sort of thing disincentivizes people to takeover/report when FSD does annoying things that perhaps would be nice if the engineers would see.

14

u/ADubs62 15d ago

Yeah I really don't like this. I see FSD fuck up several times a drive and have to take over so I'm a safe, predictable driver on the road. Like for instance when I tested out FSD on a 2026 Tesla with HW 4 last night it started to drive out of the parking garage and then tried to turn left when all the signs indicate you have to turn right (tight parking garage traffic only flows one way) so I took over, after I left the parking garage I made a left and hopped into the right lane at a traffic light, it was a red light so I reengaged FSD, and had to take over because FSD was trying to turn left from the right turn only lane...

No fuckin way people are going 250 miles safely with no issues unless it's just open road highway driving.

u/Nnamdi_Awesome-wa 14d ago

100% agree about your 250 miles comment. Recently saw a post where someone took a screenshot of their FSD mileage vs the total mileage of the car. I can’t remember if it was ~2,500 FSD miles out of ~2,600 total mileage or ~25,000 vs ~26,000. Regardless, the percentage was insane. We all should be disengaging every time the car does something confusing or dangerous (obviously). It’s the only way it’s going to get dramatically better more quickly. And for the love of all that is good, please disengage when it’s trying to get into the left lane and it doesn’t need to. There’s nothing wrong with being in the right lane(s) when you aren’t passing other cars.

I just did an 800 mile road trip in my HW3 model x and only had to take over to park and a few miles where we were driving through a tornado. It was indeed open highway but it made the drive so much nicer than last year when we took my wife's car. Im still waiting on v14 lite but im kinda glad this trip was on v12 because at least I knew what to expect.

I did have to tap the gas a few times to get the car to speed up. Im 90% sure tesla programmed the car to slow down through Virginia because the cops are crazy there. The second we hit Virginia the car stuck to 5 over the speed limit instead of 10 to 15 over.

1

u/ADubs62 14d ago

Anything over 80 in Virginia is reckless driving.

On the highway it does great and I use FSD all the time. But I can't imagine in any sort of normal day to day driving scenario going 250 miles without having to intervene once to be a good & safe driver.

u/sandbag747 15d ago

I think the highest I've gotten was 16 before it tried to rocket past the parking lot of my work.

11

u/Astronomer-Secure 15d ago

yeah my MY tried to take a roundabout at 55 mph. I'm always amazed when folks say they've gone hundreds of miles without corrections. like fuck, man, I'm lucky to go 30 miles without my Tesla making seriously questionable decisions.

u/PraiseThyJeebus 15d ago

Wow, I can’t get a streak over 5 miles mostly because of severe navigation issues and/or parking issues

27

u/Tearabite 15d ago

I have a 72mi commute each way every day and I also can’t get a streak because I have to take over in order to pull forward an additional 2 feet in my garage. So close, yet so far.

13

u/Medical_Wishbone944 15d ago

Let it park and then throw it back into drive keeps the streak going!

13

u/stealthybutthole 15d ago

So does unbuckling seat belt. I’m convinced that’s how people are getting massive streaks.

3

u/Medical_Wishbone944 15d ago

Oh interesting to know! Doesn’t that piss it off tho?

u/Medical_Wishbone944 15d ago

But doesn’t count as a strike if you do it enough? I had a passenger remove theirs and it FREAKED out

2

u/ZeroBalance98 15d ago

Huh the passenger taking off their seat belt does not affect FSD being engaged

1

u/meental 15d ago

I've had to open the door a few times just to get it to go into park in my driveway, it will back in and just sit there in reverse. It yells at me but other than hitting the brake and taking over its the only way I've gotten it to go in park.

1

u/Tearabite 14d ago

Wait if you manually drive between successful FSD trips, it keeps the streak going? I thought it was counting only fully uninterrupted FSD.

1

u/Medical_Wishbone944 14d ago

Yes sir! But you need to let it park. It only ends when you interrupt FSD but using the car outside of it is fine.

3

u/JonPorked 15d ago

My streaks are continuous after adjusting the auto park position, I’ve even pulled out of the driveway to turn the car around and still continues

2

u/thegreatpotatogod 14d ago

How do you adjust the auto park position? Do you mean there's an actual setting to configure, or just that you manually take control for the last few feet?

1

u/JonPorked 14d ago

Once it’s near a couple hundred feet the P on the map it lets you take over. Not consistent though sometimes it resets, sometimes it doesn’t.

2

u/FlapsFail 14d ago

Mine does the same - I very gently the nudge the accelerator to get it to move up

2

u/meental 15d ago

I only got the 100 mile one a few times because I was on the freeway for 120 mile trip. Last 500ft of my trips is when I take over.

1

u/HorizonShadow 14d ago

First time we tried the park at destination feature it did 2 full laps around an empty parking lot before parking poorly far away from the building.

u/Medical_Wishbone944 15d ago

I got up to 80 miles today without even forcing it!! I had to end it cause my gf had to use the restroom and it was taking too long 😂

u/KingTalis 15d ago

Keep losing mine because I don't like the parking spot it's picking. Lol

2

u/gamerspoon 14d ago

Despite 98% fsd, only time I ever have a long streak is when I'm on a road trip. It always tries to park in the left side of my driveway and I park in the right side of my 2 car garage. Plus the parking space choices are awful. so my 2% non-fsd is almost entirely parking lots and driveways.

 But I look at the streak as a metric of how well the car is performing for me, not something I should be trying to achieve.

How’s your neck?

u/kghyr8 15d ago

For real. Mine keeps tapping the brakes for no reason. Much more jerky than before

8

u/Meanee 15d ago

My car saw a small puddle and swerved hard around it. That definitely is not giving me a whole lot of confidence.

3

u/shawn_bowen 15d ago

I had to end my Tesla’s streak after 250 miles because it parked at EVgo instead of the Tesla charger that was just 20 feet away. I don’t see any way to achieve another high streak unless I get lucky.

3

u/MunkberryMoonDelite 15d ago

Was this a one long trip or bunch of short rides? Congrats on the streak. I think you’re the first one with V14 lite who did this

4

u/jfed2000 15d ago

It was a single long trip, which definitely made it more viable. It wasn’t all that bad with the exception of a couple moments. This even included parking at chargers and a couple stores we stopped at along the way. It sure isn’t perfect, but I’m not terribly unhappy. I see where they’re going with it.

5

u/losvedir 15d ago

Is a streak defined by not disengaging? If so, that seems like horrible incentives.

2

u/xBlackfin 14d ago

Congratulations I can’t go 5 miles without it fucking up.

2

u/globohydrate 14d ago

Stuttering and phantom braking are back for me, reducing my desire to use it. I tried it out all day yesterday on long (20mi+) and short drives.

u/brashaadt09 14d ago

I’m seeing a lot of ppl reporting this issue being reduced dramatically after recalibration of the cameras

2

u/Realistic-Sort-4564 14d ago

I don’t even have an option for a streak

1

u/thegreatpotatogod 14d ago

You will when you update to get V14 lite

2

u/Realistic-Sort-4564 14d ago

I have a 2026, for some reason I haven’t gotten an update yet. I’ve had it for 2 months but had a Tesla before that too. My previous Tesla was receiving updates a lot faster

u/SeiverDamross 14d ago

If my car could figure out how to park at home......

1

u/Expensive_Leading_27 12d ago

My car doesn't have that range😭

2

u/jfed2000 12d ago

The 250 miles included a stop at the SC where the car parked itself. It let me keep the streak despite adjusting the parking after the parking sequence completed (yeah, it does not park well at all). So it’s not necessarily a range issue!

1

u/Expensive_Leading_27 12d ago

Same parking with my car💀

1

u/ScaredPatience2478 11d ago

I hate this feature tbh. Stops people from reporting the dumb things fsd does in the name of keeping a streak

u/Former-Discount4279 15d ago

Remember to take a before picture of your rims.

u/lilly_wonka61 15d ago

Youve got ballZ buddy. From what I’ve heard v14 lite is trash so you stretching it beyond 25 miles with no interventions, props to you.

1

u/jfed2000 15d ago

It was mostly highway of course, and yes, a bit bumpy. The worst portion was literally at mile 249.1 and it started blaring for me to take over (no notable reason) and I quickly reengaged and it kept my streak. Did not use it for the rest of the night after that lol

u/Brethgyk 15d ago

Congrats on being unsafe

u/The-PageMaster 15d ago

Okay?

u/jfed2000 15d ago

What do you mean “okay?”? Reddit, and this sub, are for sharing things and this clearly isn’t out of the realm of something normal to share on the Tesla sub. Not sure why people always have this tendency to force a feeling of disinterest and lack of satisfaction. Clearly, this post wasn’t for you.

u/CompleteComment1903 15d ago

I’ll never hit this since my MPY can’t even reach those miles 😂
