My experience wasn't too different until v12. Until then the main value add was long trips on highways; it did a good job of keeping me from drifting lanes due to attention lapses and was good at dynamically adapting to highway traffic. As soon as conditions were sub-optimal though it was... bad. I live in a rural area which is obviously not it's happy path. It didn't know what to do with roads without a center lane marking. It didn't know how to handle a roundabout. It didn't know what to do with market areas where streets broaden (kept trying to lunge into a perceived non-existent right lane.
The last couple months have been much better. It's STILL not perfect (and it's pretty much imperative to simply ignore anything that Musk optimistically tosses out regarding capability) but it's a remarkable improvement.
It'll drive me from my home to my co-working space with the only intervention by me being to click a parking spot. The automated parallel parking actually works well now too.
My guess is we are 5-10 years out from it being a truly automatic experience in every way, but it's pretty good now. It's also nice that my car keeps improving (quicker lately) rather than being stuck with whatever nonsense it was deployed with.
