r/TeslaFSD

I would really like to have FSD tomorrow but I can't justify the $99 for an entire month. I just need it from time to time. Would it be worth it to pay for 24hrs, or maybe so much per mile for example?

Seriously we had to walk 13 minutes to the pick up location. When we got there the Robotaxi was 8 minutes away. As we watched the Robotaxi come closer and closer and the time tick down to 3 minutes… it’s just passed its turn and kept going straight…. Kept passing more turns it could have taken and the time went up to 28 minutes.

Automated Customer service said to just cancel and get another robotaxi that wasn’t bugging out but when we tried doing that prices jumped up.

We decided to contact human customer service. I was on hold for customer service for 15 minutes.

Customer service (human being) just said that happens sometimes and that the automation just wasn’t there yet. they werent able to honor the original price so we waited like 35 minutes total and ended up just going with Lyft that picked us up in 3 minutes. Which sucked because in those 30minutes the price still jumped up but we would rather know we were getting picked up successfully than to give Robotaxi another shot.

Mind you we saw many others getting picked up at the Robotaxi pick up at Lee Barton dr next to acl/zilker park in Austin.

I’ve noticed that I encounter significantly more aggressive drivers when using FSD compared to driving manually. It seems like no matter how much FSD picks up the pace, there’s always someone riding my bumper or trying to go even faster, even when I’m using Hurry mode.
I usually end up disengaging FSD and taking over to better adapt to the flow of traffic and the driving behavior around me. That’s probably why my FSD usage sits around 56–60%.
For context, I’m 24 and have been driving for eight years, so I’m fairly comfortable handling different traffic situations. I just find myself intervening more often than I’d like when using FSD.
I’m curious how everyone else handles this. Do you just let FSD do its thing and ignore the tailgaters, or do you disengage and take control when traffic gets aggressive?

**Update: For neighborhood driving not highways

Tried FSD on the freeway today for a run from a major airport to back home in a rural area in my new to me 2021 model 3. it’s only on version 12 but it was amazing. I can’t wait to see what 14 lite can do, Or even hardware 4. It handled heavy stop and go traffic just fine. it might have gone a little too fast for me at times, but standard mode was just right I think. It is leaps ahead of super-cruise on my equinox EV which I think is great on the freeway.
