How to Use Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta

Some tips on how to use Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta

[@CoolSilver]

Fully agree on all points. As a user of FSD for a year and half at this point I can say it does allow you to be more aware. I am one that still holds the wheel and keeps my foot near the pedals. It's usually that I want to give it a little help more than taking over safety. It has come a long way and as it is learning I have learned how to operate it in a more patient and measured way. As you use FSD you become more aware of what it can or might need a little help in doing. That's great because you can be confident and ready for the strangeness that humans bring to driving.

[@geoyoshinaka5251]

Wonderfully instructional guidance, a relaxing experience watching the FSD manage most of the drive. I think this is the perfect video to counter the malicious clips. Thank you for once again being the voice of reason to us all!

[@davidcox5453]

Hey Omar, you should inform people instead of having to shake the steering wheel to show that you’re paying attention, you can just roll the volume scroll wheel on the steering wheel . This is much easier way to tell the car you are paying attention and you don’t have to worry about the car being taken out of FSD .I Look forward to seeing you at the Tesla takeover. Keep up the great work.

[@ThomasVachuska]

Excellent video. This is precisely my philosophy towards FSD Beta usage.

[@sybtiger]

This is definitely the best explanation and demonstration aside from personal experience in an Uber as a passenger I’ll always appreciate innovation like this and can’t wait to see how it evolves over the next 10 years if this is just step one ⚡️🚀⚡️

[@mightyJudah]

My favorite channel as far as Tesla goes. You are very clear in everything that you describe. When I get my car soon I will need to be included to get all the new updates lol

[@ThomasButryn]

Fantastic video thank you! We just bought Model Y and my wife is too scared to try FSD. You explain in so well and in such a nice manor I think this will help us use FSD. 😊

[@michaelslavin766]

Thanks for the video. Tried the full self driving for the first time today on my Model 3. I’m fairly disappointed in how often it was prodding me to keep pressure on the wheel when my hand was already on the wheel. It also disengaged a few times when I would then grasp it- apparently it felt me trying to turn the wheel Also, I was going 65 MPH in the left lane when a car was rapidly approaching from behind. My car did not move to the open right lane- so I disengaged the FSD and moved to the right lane. Most dangerously : I was in the right lane when another car entered the acceleration lane. The Tesla slowed but so did the other car; the Tesla sped up but so did the other car. When I saw an impending problem I quickly changed to the open left lane. My wife had a fit !! The FSD so far, has been anxiety provoking. Of course I’m not used to it but read the above examples for yourselves.

[@xraydelta1]

Well said. If we all approach the changes the same way as you, the transition will be so much easier.

[@harshsud9924]

This should be the top video not the SFO driving videos to be honest.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So thanks for the video, and the ride along. I myself drive my Tesla on FSD all the time, because there’s nothing about driving that I find exciting. I put driving a car up there with doing household chores, like dishwashing, mopping/vacuuming, floors, making beds, and doing laundry, none of which I ever wanted to do, and so I personally cannot wait until FSD does all the driving. Cheers 🥂

[@edwardszane]

Excellent video and narration...completely agree with your overview and assessment, thank you!

[@mattstrauss222]

Very helpful. I have issues with driving too slow for typical traffic. Your accelerator advice might help!

[@AikihermPRS]

Great job explaining things very clearly.

[@kentaroyamada8505]

Thank you, Omar!

[@cynthiaconnell190]

I just got FSD finally for my hw4 Model Y. in this week's push..I didn't have my hands on the steering wheel, but had them near it, and I got a warning to assist slightly so I did, but it kept beeping at me so I "assisted" more and then it disengaged altogether. SO when I activated FSD again it said I can only have that happen 4 more times and my FSD will be suspended! this sucks for someone trying to learn how to use it in the first place...I need to make some mistakes in order to learn. I'm driving in my neighborhood so going slowly without traffic so I can get a feel for the system and it works. Your video is super helpful!!!

[@christophermccook8591]

Yep I had the same thing happen to me!

[@DiamondHead2010]

I have 3 months complimentary fsd for new M3 I like driving so I wasn’t really interested in fsd. Tried it once and turned it off 2 minutes later because it was too slow for me (didn’t realize or have updated software that has the other modes) Tried it again after I noticed aggressive mode and woah what a difference Fsd is like riding a horse, just gotta nudge when it’s not going exactly where you want to go I could definitely see the potential in the future but I think I enjoy driving the Tesla myself too much for now Thank you for the tutorial and contributing to this system

[@SciMajor1]

"Your average driver sucks." There are two types of suckage: 1. Drivers who intentionally do stupid things. 2. Drivers who unintentionally do stupid things. In my area, most drivers fall into category 1.

[@dathyr1]

Thanks for this video on using FSD. Couple of questions on FSD to anybody using it: I don't see the poster answering any questions. 1 - How much more aggressive is FSD when you put the system in that highest mode of driving?? Does it make the system a little more dangerous at intersections or doing various speeds on the road?? 2 - Living in Northern Illinois, I am always wondering how safe it is using FSD in snowy weather? I know FSD wants to do posted speed limits, but I don't think it knows the road conditions. Also I know it is up to the driver to determine when to use FSD in winter weather. I would not use FSD if the weather was really bad an I know the cameras would get degraded due to snow and ice buildups on the vehicle. FSD is cool, but right now i can't see spending the extra dollars for the system. Plus how quickly can we get on the FSD Beta soon as we pay for a subscription and do a request for beta? I hear there is a wait time, but how long would it be? I don't need the EAP features. Anyway, take care.

[@NatePlaysGames84]

wow great video!!! i just bit the bullet and got it! :D this is exactly what i was looking for about what to expect and not to expect

[@drmariopepper4354]

Free month activated! Can’t wait❤

[@LuisGuedes]

Great video! Thanks showing everyone the reality of FSD

[@fparent]

It's interesting how well FSD seems to perform on your videos. I've been using it quite a bit for the last 30 days, locally and on a 1200 mile trip. My experience isn't as spectacular as yours. On major highways it's fine but around town it behaves quite erratically and I have to take over quite often and not necessarily in complex driving scenarios. I hope V12 is as good as Musk is telling us.

[@moseschung3220]

I've also had FSD for a month and have the same experience as you. I'm wondering if it gets better as you drive it more but definitely not as smooth around town as these videos show.

[@libertycabbagemusic]

Can the FSD be applied to older Tesla models? Specifically, the 2015-2016 Model S or the 2016 Model X.

[@appleblows1]

Nice video, i just purchased a new y and a brand new tesla noob. If I subscribe fsd, will it be the latest beta version you just demonstrated?

[@m3Tesla]

The way look at using FSD is an extension of my driving meaning that what ever FSD does buy definition and liability is on me. So when I see videos of people letting FSD do stuff should not. I just think they are the fools for letting it do it then complain that it can't do it. Anyone who purchased FSD has been let in on early access to what is "possibly" one of our great achievements as humans.

[@tuckergreene6307]

We just got a model y, and are expecting 3 months of FSD because of the referral code usage. Is it possible to only use autopilot when fsd software is active, or does it skip straight to FSD? Not sure if I want my wife to use FSD or not yet (especially on city streets).

[@Gabriel-pt6tq]

Does it see no turn on red signs? Raleigh NC just put those signs up in downtown and many of them are placed in hard to see parts of the intersection, I sometimes don't notice them initially.

[@cartermiller2705]

Another great video. In addition to touching the wheel to prove you are engaged, these other functions also substitute for the wheel touch. Not certain this was communicated so clearly. For example, adjusting the set speed on the right wheel up/down 1 notch, without needing to actually hold on to the steering wheel, substitutes for the wheel touch. This is especially convenient while driving along highways, but also works in city streets. I do find the jerkiness of the steering wheel disconcerting, particularly at the beginning of the execution of turns from a stop or very slow speed. It does take some “technofaith” 🤞🙏🕯Please do show a round of lane changes in FSD on one of your highway trips if you get the opportunity. Thanks again!

[@curtispons8613]

Omar. I don’t notice any difference between Chill, Average, or Aggressive. What difference do you see? Most of my disengagements are because of weird lane choices or random blinkers turning on while going straight.

[@TheShahBoyss]

I use FSD everyday omw to work and on my way. It works amazing. But always stay alert

[@itsmephil2255]

I hate watching videos like this, cos I REALLY want a model 3 but can't afford 1 right now Awesome video though

[@grantguy8933]

thanks

[@harshsud9924]

also wondering how yo do away with not placing hand on steering wheel, my fsd asks me to put hand on steering wheel after 30 seconds

[@JohnStraussmusic]

Boy that Dan guy in your last video is nuts. How can he be a successful software engineer and can not even get FSD to work properly on his tesla?

[@STEVEF777]

I agree about using FSD where it works. V11.4 regressed from 11.3 on the two mile stretch of unmarked road exiting my neighborhood. Back to drifting into the oncoming lane and phantom braking. Have to wait for next update for a possible fix.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So you might wanna try rebooting your computer if you haven’t done that in a while, it may help to correct some bugs in the latest software update. I always reboot the computer after an update, and it seems to help the system realize that the updates are to be applied now.

Yeah when he said he holds the wheel i was like bro I have never seen him even have a nag let alone hold it

[@tjw1861]

Questions I have is will it miss sizeable potholes and drift to edge of your lane if passing a big truck?

[@cartermiller2705]

Yes, it does shift over towards the far edge of the lane when passing or being passed by larger vehicles. On my 11.4.1 recent rental experience, the adjustment for potholes and other imperfections in the road surface, not so good at avoidance of these.

[@tjw1861]

@@cartermiller2705 thanks for that. I'm sure potholes avoidance will get addressed sometime soon

[@cartermiller2705]

@@tjw1861 the feeling during that shift over in the lane is very interesting. Then, when being sandwiched by large vehicles on both sides, the car adjusts back to the center of the lane to give equal distance on both sides. Very cool 👍

[@tjw1861]

@@cartermiller2705 certainly come leaps and bounds in the last 3 years or so.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So it will not avoid potholes, or man hole covers, because they can’t see them, neither does it recognizes these imperfections in the roadway, however, it will drift to the far edges of the lane, even crossing the edge defining line if necessary, which I think is very impressive, so if you think about it, being able to define imperfections in the road surface, such as potholes and manhole covers that are not covered must be something they are definitely going to have to be able to do, particularly if we’re going to get to a level 4 or 5 situation, with having a fleet of robo taxis on the street.

[@robertcameronjones]

I don't get it. What's less work, micromanaging your automated driving vehicle, or just driving? With FSD, you not only have to understand the road situation as if you were driving, you also have to understand what FSD is doing, decide when it's wrong, and take over in an instant. I'll wait, thank you.

[@colin.snyder1256]

This is sad now we have bought fsd beta and now the amount of force you need to use is so great and the interior camera sucks

[@edhill8568]

Enjoy your videos but since the roads you drive on have few if any obstructed view intersections you're not able to share the actual FSD experience with people who live in areas where obstructed views are common. For example I drove in Houston last week and didn't have any obstructed views. Almost no disengagements. Got back home in Mass and lots of disengagements where the B-pillar cameras just cannot see well enough to make safe decisions. Two totally different FSD experiences. One excellent and one pretty bad. I just don't know how Tesla can solve the B-pillar camera problem when bushes block the view and FSD cannot do what I do which is lean way forward to make safe decisions. At one intersection FSD consistently tries to go when vehicles are 110 feet away going 40 mph. Bushes simply block the view of the B-pillar camera which I solve by leaning way forward and creeping at 1mph. I have lots of other FSD testers in the area that have exactly the same problem.

[@caz0663]

Omar, I agree with you completely, BUT you and others it the Tesla community keep referring to FSD beta as FSD. FSD beta is an ADAS that is being used by Tesla to collect data and develop solutions necessary to achieve Full Self Driving (FSD) capability. The Beta version is not a fully autonomous system. It’s obvious why people outside of the Tesla community are confused and we share the blame. We need to stop calling the beta version of Full Self Driving (FSD). FSD has not been released. Autopilot is not FSD… Enhanced Autopilot is not FSD… FSD beta is not FSD, yet.

[@howhomy]

use referral to get 3 month FSD but its not the real FSD only IAP

[@FT86TT]

Completely drive itself? Hear the same thing since 2010!

[@okanaganteslaguy1426]

FST is getting unbelievably good, but it still needs to be corrected at times. That’s why we’re in the driver seat! We must take control when things go wrong or FSD needs a little throttle push to prevent delays and piss off other drivers! Another common mistake is being in the wrong lane before return, and a simple lane change by hitting the signal light, may be required to correct your Navigation path! It seems like sooner than later it will become better then we can drive! That’s when Tesla will become the most valuable company period! 💎🙌TESLA🇨🇦😎2565 SHARES 💪

[@dmitri9888]

How I think about it - Tesla using you to train its FSD and still charging you $16G

[@Patriot3]

Too use your phone in FSD just hold it directly in front of the steering wheel. Or above it if it's a yoke. It's watching your eyes. Text away, kids. Set the speed limit up. Treat it like you stole it.

[@AndydaSliCe]

13:30 in these situations the software should wait for the pedestrian, and if the pedestrian hesitates it should proceed, and make a video proving that the pedestrian indicated that they were yielding.

[@faizurrahman7084]

Once Tesla improves FSD another 5-10x, it will still not be level 4. But when it gets that good, ppl will start paying a lot less attention as it will almost never need any inputs. It will also be used by a lot more ppl at that time as it will actually be something useful. When FSD fails at those times, it can be a lot more dangerous as the driver might not be attentive enough to take control on time.

[@blueeyes75115]

Our current Teslas will never achieve "FSD"...and Tesla has known this since late last year. Project Highland is proof...Hardware 4 Teslas will be coming out and receiving the major updates to go FSD while your Tesla, and cars like my 2023, will only go so far and then that's it....sad fact. Ppl who bought their Tesla for reasons other than FSD are fine.

[@caz0663]

If FSD requires Hardware (x) to achieve Level 4 autonomy and Tesla refuses to update cars whose owners purchased FSD… automatic class action lawsuit. FSD beta is not Full Self Driving.

[@noydbwia]

The "HOLD" feature is the only reason I bought a Tesla (MY)... That one-pedal driving is worth its weight in gold! I'm too much of a natural driver to bother with the quirkiness of "FSD"

[@knpstrr]

Does anyone actually pay the $15,000 for this? Seems like the $200/mo is the better deal by far. It takes 6.25 years for $200/mo to get to $15,000. You probably won't have the same car in 6.25 years

First of all those people are right don't buy a self driving car nor driver assistance cars manual cars are better so you don't have to rely on self driving cars doing it for you and if you want another robot which is more safer and makes your life more easy then use that such as Alexa don't use a self driving car I also loved self driving cars but not anymore if you love robots or AI then buy different kinds of them not automatic cars maybe buy automatic personal assistant not driver assistance Lol.
