This one of best explanation of autopilot and autosteer. Thanks for to the point video.

[@mavisfujii]

Very helpful. Thank you for explaining the differences between the different programs.

[@ninisung5236]

Thank you very much for clearing all confusions about Autopilot.

[@CrazyDutch91]

Great video! I took delivery of my model 3 last monday and this video answered all my questions about autopilot

[@dow168]

This was a great video. I like that you emphasized that you need to be in control when on AP. In addition to Tesla's warning about this, its worth noting that if you are in an otherwise "at-fault" accident while on AP, you are liable and responsible. Saying "well the car crashed itself it was on AP" is not a defense.

[@maggiengo8717]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is very much appreciated. Just got my Y and a bit overwhelmed with autopilot, you explained it so well that it gives me more confidence to try it.

[@stevedowler2366]

Great detailed AP tutorial, thanks. One thing I missed was why you recommend a double half-press down to engage AP rather than full-down. You started to explain that during the freeway on-ramp maneuver but didn't finish. I suspect it's because you have FSD Beta and full down engages FSD while half down engages AP. Given this was a video on AP for newbies without FSD, the half-down or full-down are equivalent I think. Is that right? Another question not directly on AP: if I subscribe (or pay!) for FSD but don't request to join the Beta program then I get everything but city streets and lights, right? Cheers, S.

[@lisaandelin3240]

You are the most helpful tesla KZbinr I’ve seen. Thank you! I appreciate that you are quickly down to business without other chatter, but take the time to really explain things and show things on the screen

[@montycatral1451]

Great video. Very, Very Informative. Thank you.

[@ricshaner7019]

Thank you for the helpful video.

[@Optunity]

Thank you. I subscribe.it’s nice that also live around Bonney Lake Area. I get to see how it performs in the southbound.I’ll be watching

[@DaveJackson77]

Great video, Cody. I keep my foot over the brake at intersections as the FSD has thrown me into the middle of an intersection (mainly ones that are not at square angles) and disengaged more than once. So I brake if I see the car acting slightly confused. It is getting better with each update.

[@barbaranorman9587]

this was very helpful thank you

[@ggtirevite]

Excellent primer, new to Tesla and have been freaked out a few times; these tips will help. What I am struggling with most is the car not being aware. of the specificity of a the map, An example would be a 3 lane highway splitting into two, two lane highways (like an express and a local. The car really freaks out even though it knows I am going to one or the other as per the route I picked, when I am in the middle lane. I don't understand in that case with it doesn't just follow the one of the sides of the lane (right for local, left for express)

[@ebolds4918]

Thanks this was very helpful helpful

[@rodneysmith1750]

Grea video Cody, good, clear concise explanations!

[@CfTesla]

Thanks Rodney!

[@hwillia204]

Good video and explanation on Auto-Pilot and how it works. I use it all the time, and FSD is getting much better.

[@Wol747]

You might have started, Cody, by emphasising that you are talking about the 3 and Y! The very first bit about the gear stalk would confuse the hell out of a newby model S or X driver!

[@CfTesla]

Some things are kind of obvious...unless you are only listening to the audio but ill remember that for future videos just in case.

[@thuyvy4288]

thank you for the video!

[@billnipp2309]

Im not brand new to Tesla but I am brand new to autopilot. thanks

[@zelcoviacookies3467]

Had it for a year and learned a few more things

[@ardo111]

14:05 is why I came, for a demo of how EAP will change lanes. :) Thanks! FYI KZbin has created chapters automatically and said 1:45 all the way to 18:24 is just "Settings" haha. Might want to add that yourself

[@dathyr1]

It is now May 2023. OK I looked at a Tesla model Y order sheet. There is an Enhanced Auto Pilot (EAP) which is kind of what this video is talking about. To be able to use EAP we have to pay 6000 dollars. You say it is free in video which it is not. I think there is just a Cruise Control which is probably all that I would need and can be controlled on the steering wheel or Touch Screen. I don't need an Adaptive or Enhanced Cruise Control if it is going to cost 6000 dollars. If I am wrong on anything, let me know. With just basic a Cruise Control, what is the minimum speed it can be used at, because I do just regular highways, not Freeways???? I don't have any Tesla vehicle at this time, just learning as much as I can before I decide what I want. Thanks and take care.

[@ntnboy85]

Very thorough, thanx. just got my car and it kinda threw me off-guard as i wasn't super familiar with the controls yet.

[@lynnzw]

Appreciate this video so much Cody! I’ve gotten my car for more than a year & I’ve just tried AP last week. 😬

[@KarenBurke-k3k]

Thank you very good information

[@CfTesla]

Welcome!

[@ZestyLemonBoi]

Brilliant!

[@likearock2428]

I wonder with AP, the vehicle know to stop at the Red light and at the Stop sight with no vehicle in the front ?.

[@robstewart2213]

Very useful. Suggestion - way to many comments about FSD choices/options. Those of us who don't have FSD only get confused trying to ignore signifigant comments that to us are irrelevant.

[@gregoriobueno]

great stuff and a lot of good information! Keep up the great work!

[@robeeenz]

I think the title should include FSD. I went on for some autopilot only info and a lot of it was irrelevant to me but great for FSD people

[@lesterhousel]

Does Summon appear on your Tesla app? I paid $6000 for enhanced autopilot but don’t know how to engage it on my new Y LY. I sold my 3 to my son which now has 11 FSD 11 beta. He loves it!

[@Cuti932]

I have a hard time to interpret what you were saying between 20:21 to 20:31. You said “we can accelerate…in those situations where it’s breaking hard just quickly press it”. Question: you mean when the system brakes hard (because of phantom braking) just press the accelerator pedal quickly to get back the speed? Anybody can answer my question, but I prefer Cf Tesla to confirm it. Thanks

[@savanpanchal451]

I got 2021 model y - compred to my lexus, when i am using adaptive cruise control, when there is slow car in front of me that moves to the right lane, Tesla is slow to speed up compared to Lexus. I almost have to push down gas padel so people behind are not getting upset.

[@homerjacob6328]

Hey, just got my Tesla about 3 months ago and have looked at your videos, appreciate the knowledge an insight. I did notice one thing on Autopilot, you can only increase the cruise speed at a max of 5MPH over the speed limit on non divided highways. On the Highway you can adjust it above that. I haven't had the chance to test it, but thought maybe if you have you could verify and or put it in one of your videos at some point. Anyway, thought I'd share. Homer

[@DJ_Rambo_NZ]

Thanks

[@billvargas1657]

Why in the world at stop lights is the car 2 car lengths behind the car in front of you.

[@tednguyen208]

Well the 5 mph over limit max makes it useless for long trips.

[@GarretHunt]

Helpful tips. Thank you! You may have covered this in the video and I just missed it... is there a way to control the distance from the car in front of you while in AP? While I'm learning how to use it it makes me nervous how close it gets before the auto braking kicks in.

[@TeNgaere]

Yes, you missed it. The scroll wheel on the right side can be pressed to the left or right while scrolling up or down and that will widen or compress your distance between the car in front of you.

[@Greg29]

Picked up my first Tesla yesterday, 2022 MS long range, blown away by the car. Looking forward to trying AP as soon as it's done calibrating.

[@andrewcochran4389]

Welcome to the family! And keep watching these videos, he's as good as anybody on KZbin at explaining the Tesla Experience.

BTW, this is the only car I've owned for which I've read the manual, and it's been very helpful. Read it multiple times.

awesome Greg!

[@anilkumar1971]

@@CfTesla Hi your steering wheel cover looks awesome! Can I get the link to buy it?

[@BT-wn7ok]

Great details. Thank you!!!

[@CfTesla]

Thanks for watching!

[@gwndds]

Picked up my Tesla today and could not figure out how to engage cruise control. No where on the Autopilot screen did it tell me I had to use the shift lever to engage the cruise control . Also in the owners manual I couldn’t find about how to engage it.

[@imthebest7290]

That looks familiar. Are you in Truckee? Lake Tahoe

[@batyrenko]

Super cool video, thanks. Can you please also make a video about Enhanced Autopilot. I just ordered my Model Y with delivery date in January 2023, but still not sure if I need to get Enhanced Autopilot.

[@newtoast42]

AT 11:24 when you are 'cut off', why does Autopilot disengage? Did you hit break? Or Stalk? Or turn wheel?

[@BellaSoul-mm6lb]

Watched a bunch of videos and you were the only one who somewhat mentioned how in basic autopilot the adaptive cruise control will automatically change its speed by looking for speed limit signs (even if no other cars are on the road), is that correct? So it uses the cameras or its gps map to find the speed limit and then automatically adjusts the car to that speed? (In basic autopilot)?

[@CfTesla]

It actually uses both although it’s mostly cameras because sometimes when I am testing it I pass a sign beside a semi where it can’t see the sign and it misses the sign.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

What gauge cluster is that? 👀

[@brainguynyc8729]

Good one. Thanks.

[@Deathpaldin]

It is really helpful, and I really like it. Do you have any tips let me get FSD beta faster? Thanks

[@Animeaddictfreak]

When you have autopilot or adaptive cruise control on do you have your foot on the accelerator?

[@danielorgeron4487]

Thanks Cory, but I’m more interested in the driving wheel. I think you got it off of Amazon, is that correct? If so does it have the “Heated function”? I’m thinking of getting it from Amazon. Also does the wheel come with all the necessary Hadware to “plug N play” on the Tesla, like the harness and screws and such? Dan Orgeron

[@scottsteinmetz2922]

Good information.

[@Bits4Blits]

Very Very Very In Depth NOT - Tutorial YES

[@BellaSoul-mm6lb]

So if you engage autopilot at 25mph and then the speed limit changes to 30 and then 35 and then 45 and then 55 and then 65, etc. the cars adaptive cruise control part of the autopilot would automatically change to the speed limit without any user input and even if no other cars were on the road, is that correct?

[@CfTesla]

Yep

[@F15HHOOKS]

Thanks Cory, very helpful info for a newbie like me. Can you have AP settings change for each driver profile? My wife isn't happy using it yet but I'm eager to.

[@CfTesla]

Absolutely! Like you saw in the video I was under my wife’s. Mine is way different

[@PoffStarOwnsAll]

Thanks!

[@frankm2347]

auto steer ? my tesla seems to not stay in the lane? it wonders to the left or right. Do you think I need to calibrate the cameras ?? or maybe its not engaged ? Thanks for the videos . Ive had the car about 10 days.

[@lizard6432]

Why did you change the yoke?

[@genosails2]

How much was the purchase price of the Model 3 AWD if you don't mind?

[@ev_dash]

Someone needs to make a video of how to make the car drive by itself. I rented a Tesla and there’s not a single video on how to do it.

[@CfTesla]

lol because the car can't drive by itself.

[@jkmama51]

What are your (or anyones) thought on using it during heavy stop/go traffic? I am always afraid there will be issues with people suddenly stopping/trying to merge. Thoughts?

[@MrGrandeflipper]

absolutely 100% use it in traffic. It does all the stop and go for you.

[@sfiron]

Great video. I do hope someone in Tesla is watching....I have the Y model 2022 in Israel. I just moved to Tesla from Volvo S90 2019. I was disappointed to find a lot of issues with the Auto Steering. Mainly if I could sum it up it feels like the design was assuming much better conditions. On the one hand you need to stay attentive but on the other hand the steering wheel will not let you nudge the car left or right in the lane or switch lanes yourself after indicating. Very forceful interaction as well including some times in which the steering wheels trys to leave the lane based on false marking on the road. The lack of pressure sensors in the steering wheel is part of it I suspect. Also the default speed when you engage adaptive cruise control is either speed limit or current speed. I find that ok for the most part but at a crawl I would use 30km/h as a default for anything under 30. Just outside my neighborhood the car "thinks" the speed limit is 110 where it's 90. Which make the car try and speed too much. I did not find the exact right combination for that. The display of the autopilot is also sometimes distracting. Jumping blue lanes jumping pedestrians and such. Too much information you cannot use. Another point - I did not find a way to disengage auto steering. Yes you could turn the steering wheel but that's really forceful and not smooth. Over all a bit of a disappointment.

[@aleksandarmarkovic8745]

Can you engage auto steer without cruise control?

[@BaronSamedi1959]

That would be very dangerous.

[@walthooker1434]

I don't think so. The first press of the gear stalk will put the car into cruise control and the second press will engage autosteer (and also FSD if it's paid for.)

[@Khonsaiho]

You can't do that but you can step on gas during auto steer to tell car to speed up a bit more.

[@Three60guy]

Would you please talk faster? NOT! For someone not knowing anything about Autopilot the sheer speed of your information delivery can and will overwhelm someone just trying to understand what is being said. I'm an experienced Autopilot user (5 years) and even I had to backup the video many times just to follow the flow of the conversation. Just constructive criticism.

[@jackthepuppet5578]

I bought a 2018 model 3 LR W/ FSD. is it updated?

[@walthooker1434]

Great job, Cody. I figured out the half and full press for autosteer when my wife was in the car. She wasn't a happy camper on half press lane changes! I'm now a new subscriber to your channel. How do you like your Hansshow screen? You must be having some warm weather where you are. It's January and I thought you would still be driving in snow.😃

[@JeffPortnoyFatties]

I hope auto turn comes to regular auto pilot like in a Kia :(

[@CfTesla]

It wont. People pay $15k for that turn

[@michaelstangl1653]

This was a great video and very informative. One question I have is when the Tesla brakes on its own (or goes into regenerative braking) do the brake lights come on to notify the car behind me?

[@grayzkule]

Yes they do

[@freddydad1]

Very useful video thanks.

[@bobsilva6222]

Too much about FSD. This was supposed to be about AP. Confusing

[@CfTesla]

Autopilot is an umbrella term for autosteer, NOA and FSD. Sorry you were confused

[@walterwhite1]

My wife and I just bought a 2023 model Y and it comes with full self driving free for a few months. Thank you for all that you’ve done. This is a wonderful video. I’d love to tip you since you helped me out so much.

[@CfTesla]

I really appreciate that Walter.

[@georgecox8142]

Cruise control comes first. Auto steer comes next.

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

Oh gosh, that phantom braking.. happens every single time I pass a certain part of the road. I haven't been able to determine what it is yet but I'm glad that's a confirmation that it's happening.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Picked up our LRMY last week and drove it 145 miles home. That gave me a chance to start using Auto pilot. Pretty awesome overall but phantom braked me every time I met a semi on the two lane portion at 65 mph. Good to know I can override with the go pedal.

[@troyf1]

Every time I drive by a gas station, I'm thankful I drive an EV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZish6N_fsqgppY

[@sfiron]

No idea why you cannot get out of auto steering without canceling the cruise control? Yes you could force the steering wheel left or right but that jiggles the car. Not very smooth. I only have enhanced auto steering here in Israel. It's full of issues - from phantom breaking, forced speed limit(I think the system thinks it's in a dangerous road when it's not), the car bases a lot on it's ability to read speed limit signs and it makes a lot of mistakes, even though some of the signs ae quite ok. The system uses to much force to interact with the drivers asking for no assistance basically. It's as if someone assumed the car knows best. This whole premise falls apart when the road map is not updated(for roads upgraded two or more years) and when road signs or road marking are wrongly interpreted. The real issue the Telsa Y has a price point very similar to the bigger Volvo and small Mercedes, people like myself expect high premium level car when a lot of premium features are missing. The seats are sweaty, no CarPlay(yes Waze does work much better), no HUD, no why to drive left or right of center or the lane in auto steering(just wrong), too much heat coming from the large side window and front window(why no shade on the upper part of the windscreen?) and list goes on.

[@leegoodman8553]

Hi Do you think the hardware 4 upgrade will be available to hardware 3 cars built in 2022? Do you think the 4 upgrade and the extra cameras they will add is necessary to have fully autonomous driving? I dont think hardware 3 cars will be able to do it

I picked my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD on 6/23/23 and with assistance from the Tesla Rep I paid for the FSD Monthly Subscription. I realized on my way home that the only function I received after paying $217 was semi-automatic Lane Change and nothing else. Later I noticed on the Autopilot Screen it showed "Full Self-Driving (Beta) will be available in an upcoming software release - WTF" I complained to a Tesla Rep over the phone in an attempt to get my money back 3 days later and they woul NOT. What a RIP OFF!!! When I picked up my car , the Rep never informed me of this and I am so pissed!!! FSD Beta is still NOT updated.
