Background: I am still crazy about my Long Range dual-motor (four-wheel-drive) Tesla Model 3 after a little over two years and 57,075 miles. I paid $6000 extra for “Full Self Driving,” which now costs $10,000.
Every Tesla also comes with Autosteer on any road that has yellow lines in the center.
Two months ago, Tesla started releasing FC FSD to those of us who had paid the $6,000 to $10,000 and had passed a certain safety test. FC FSD goes beyond divided highways and allows automatic driving on country roads and city streets to any address in your NAV. Tesla is the only company that is putting this kind of automation in the hands of thousands of customers — 12,000, according to theThe short answer: Start by using FC FSD at night or places where there is very little traffic.
It is touted as a “Beta” version, which effectively means that you can’t curl up in the back seat. You have to keep one hand giving a little torque on the steering wheel and you have to be ready to intervene in an instant if it screws up. I rarely turn off FC FSD completely. However, it is very timid in some situations, so I have to give it some extra help by pushing on the accelerator. In other situations, it screws up and I have to intervene, then I turn it back on again and proceed with my trip.
Furthermore, it will now navigate very tight turns. I am a ski instructor at the Brighton Ski Resort at the top of the 18 mile winding road with four hairpin turns up Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. With FC FSD, my Tesla will now drive the Canyon with no intervention even when the road is partially snow covered. It slows down automatically from 50 mph to a safe speed on the sharp turns and now also navigates the hairpin turns.
It also avoids big trucks and trailers parked on your side of the road as well as bicycle riders and pedestrians.
