FSD is not ready. I'm a Model Y owner, tend to lean pro-Elon, and will gladly tell you that it's a fantastic car - but the self-driving is still not ready. My free month of autopilot made me trust it less. It's quite good at highway driving, but the phantom braking and haphazard lane changing has eroded my trust to the point that I am manually driving the car 100% of the time.

I prefer the previous pseudo-FSD which simply stayed in the current lane, and relied on human input for anything more than that. This whole FSD update has been a sobering realization that I really only want the safety features.

Elsewhere in this discussion someone noted that the latest FSD updates don’t apply to highway driving. I don’t own a Tesla and am not a fan of them due to the various privacy issues and reliance on touchscreen controls. But for what it’s worth phantom braking is an issue I have on my non Tesla cars with their driver assistance features. I’m not sure if it is worse on a Tesla, but anecdotally in my friend’s Tesla I was blown away by how comparatively advanced a Tesla feels.
