Interesting - we have it on our first car, love it, and just paid for it a second time on our second car. We regularly make 3-5hr trips with it driving. Maybe something is wrong with yours?
- LastTrain 4y agoTristanB9 of SF by chance - that’d be a blast from the past! At any rate - Hmm. Know loads of people with Teslas and never heard of anyone going over 10 minutes on AP unless it’s just down a single lane of interstate or something. What kind of 5 hour trips are you doing?
- itsoktocry 4y ago>Know loads of people with Teslas and never heard of anyone going over 10 minutes on AP unless it’s just down a single lane of interstate or something This is how you can tell who is a TSLA shareholder and who isn't.
- standyro 4y agoI use mine regularly driving to SF or to Arizona from LA for multi hour stretches.
- b34r 4y agoI use AP every time I’m on the highway and it works quite well in most scenarios for me in Massachusetts. I don’t use it in the snow FWIW.
- LastTrain 4y agoAre you letting it go, at length, doing anything more than a pilot assist does? I have gone > hour on pilot assist but that hardly qualifies as self driving and doesn’t free me from driving duties - which is what AP is supposed to do
- frumper 4y agoI think you're confusing what AP is supposed to do. It's adaptive cruise control + lane keep assist.
- b34r 4y agoNot sure what you mean, EAP is highway-only and using it off the highway is off-label and not safe. I have tried FSD beta and it was not great at the time (10.12.2) The longest stretch I’ve used EAP for is >3 hrs going from MA to NY. Highways were totally smooth, did its own lane changes, etc. It can be slightly jerky at times when the traffic keeps speeding up and slowing down sharply, that’s my only real complaint.

- sowbug 4y agoSame here. Model 3, purchased 1998, FSD beta since December 2021. FSD isn't perfect, but it works. It's about as skilled as an average student driver, which means I am hands-off but still have to be vigilant for mistakes. Pucker factor influences any current-generation self-driving. I've given demos to friends in the passenger seat who have had such strong negative reactions that I've had to end the demo -- as in they want to reach over to grab the steering wheel to save our lives in mid-turn. This reaction isn't totally surprising; I've been in human-driven cars with people who simply cannot be a passenger because they're so jumpy. It takes a leap of faith to let the car drive itself, but with that faith and the requisite attention, the experience is good.
- colordrops 4y ago1998 huh
- itsoktocry 4y ago>FSD isn't perfect, but it works. It's about as skilled as an average student driver No, it isn't. Do you think "student drivers" go around banging into things? Comparing the two is ridiculous and dishonest; FSD regularly gets fooled by things no human would ever be confused by.
