I was reading through the comments on the electrek.co post and was struck by this particular comment: >"I paid $3K US, well before the FSD cost skyrocketed. While taking a cross-country drive in my 2018 Model 3 last August through October, with multiple terrifying phantom braking and autosteer (avoiding nonexistent objects in the roadway) incidents, I tried to get my beta removed, but was told it is not possible. “Just turn it off on your screen”, but that completely removed autopilot and adaptive cruise, so I found all I could do was turn off one action, but phantom braking and autosteer failures continued." Can anyone confirm if this is still the case? Is there any kind of warning Tesla gives when ordering this package that it's impossible to remove once enabled? What would be the technical reason it couldn't be disabled once enabled? This seems awful.

Fsd beta has only been available since late 2020 (and to a tiny group). So I don't know what's he talking about.

  FSD was offered as an upgrade to EA(Enhanced Autopilot) in 2016.[1] The driver in the comment explained that he has a 2018 model and he was discussing his experience with FSD on a road trip that occurred in August through October of this year. >"Enhanced Autopilot(EA) was announced later in 2016 as an extra-cost option that used a new hardware suite developed by Tesla; the key distinguishing feature for EA, "Navigate on Autopilot", which uses the new hardware suite to guide the vehicle on controlled-access roads, from on-ramp to off-ramp, was delayed until 2018. At the same time that EA was introduced, Tesla also offered Full Self-Driving(FSD) as an upgrade option to EA in 2016, which would extend machine-guided driving capabilities to local roads.[21] FSD beta testing started in October 2020."[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot
