Anyone else see any indications that V14.3.10 (on Standard) drives more efficiently than earlier FSD versions?
I got 5.17 miles per kWh on my little 40 mile test loop in Perl (2023 MY LR AWD DM). The temp was only 70F and I'm sure that helped, but due to the low temperature, my tires started at 37 psi (ended at 40 psi). 193.1 watts per mile.
Today, after some storms in the area, I was FSDing down the road and at an intersection that was totally powered down, FSD made as though to just roll through the intersection (as a handful of human driven cars were doing). Since I had no-one directly behind me, I disengaged with the brake to treat the intersection like a 4-way stop, and hit the "[Critical]" button for the FSD team.
A couple of hours later, I checked with Grok about Alabama law as regards to powered down intersections and got a surprise!
ALDOT recommends treating such intersections as all-way-stops, but in truth they legally should be treated as simply uncontrolled intersections, which is another beast altogether.
In the specific situation I was in, FSD would have been fine rolling through the intersection as it had obviously intended, as were the human drivers in the other cars on the road with me.
Live and learn.
Note that other states may have different laws concerning unpowered traffic lights.
Please Ashok,
Perl needs FSD to work in parking decks, to protect her from my goofs!
Yesterday Perl's back right wheel climbed and dropped off a sharp curb just before exiting a parking deck, because I made two mistakes driving her (lined up a turn wrong and failed to check the clearance with the repeater camera).
I have gotten so used to FSD handling the road that I let myself get rushed in an unfamiliar parking deck with another car behind me. This was my second curb instance ever in Perl (first was in February, 2024 on a road trip).
I think the tire and wheel survived unscathed but it was embarrassing. Especially, as my wife was in the car, telling me I was going to hit the curb, while I'm saying
"it's ok". oops.
Today FSD V14.3.8 drove the 160 miles to Atlanta, drove around the area of town where DragonCon will be held and after leaving my wife there with her books to sell over the next few days, FSD drove me back home. I landed with 7% and started my once every year or two HV Battery Test.
On the trip, FSD had to handle some pretty cool stuff. I did override it a few times, but even so, I did get my first 100 mile streak and got a new longest streak of 134.1 miles.
And I had just told someone that no cart return racks had been actually hit, because the supervisor always disengaged. Oh well, At least it wasn't a car in the spot -- or a bike!.
Got a new map last night. Gonna take a ride, later. My only regret is that my updates to Open Street Maps are too recent to have made it into this one.
If you are having trouble getting FSD to pull into your driveway, I wonder if it may help to sign into OpenStreetMap.org to add in your driveway and to make sure that your address is on your house.
The process is easy, especially if you at least cursorily go through the tutorial and editing and saving is quick. I ran through the process today for two properties and hope my changes will show up in a couple of days for each of them.
BTW, it may be possible to fix speed limit mapping here as well, but I'm not sure Tesla uses this map for that function -- even so, I've set the speed limit for my driveway to 5mph, and I guess I'll find out once the update goes through if that worked.
Just started playing with Grok Build. It's a sweet tool.
Basic question:
The grok TUI is working well from my main id on MacOS but when I connect to the same SuperGrok account the same way with the grok command authenticating with OIDC from my Mac's sandbox userid (which I created for this purpose) the session locks up after a short time, like 60 seconds. After which I have to close the terminal window, kill the grok process and 'grok logout'.
/plan is already rocking my world, but I need to be able to do my development and deployments for my own use in an id other than my personal id on the MacBook.
Any suggestions?

Thank you @Telsa for not redacting the March and April Narratives in the SGO-2021-01_Incident_Reports_ADS report!
It helps in putting the Robotaxi incidents into perspective.
It also helps to show how bad humans are, at least compared with Tesla ADS.
I find it interesting that all the listed incidents were in Austin, and all in Model Ys.
Any chance of updating the earlier months' Narratives with something other than "Redacted..."?
FSD Wishlist: Some way to drive at an indicated 77mph in a 70mph zone. Standard drives 75. Hurry drives 80.
An indicated 77 or 78 is my sweet spot. Call it +10%.
PS. Brilliant work FSD Team. FSD 14.2.1 is already amazingly good.
Last weekend discovered I need a way to tell FSD to go slower that what it thinks the speed limit is. There were several sections of the road that FSD thought were 70 mph, but were 45 mph. Also would have been great if I could have slowed to 65 on some other parts of the trip in order to stretch range.
Oh no! Elon's horribly dangerous software almost hit a garbage can. Quick, someone alert Dan O'Dowd!
FSD Wishlist: Follow that car!
The wife and I had to take an old ICE car in for service. In order to bring the wife home after dropping off our 2008 Civic, I followed her to the shop, I had to disengage several times to override FSD's choice of routes in order to stay behind the Honda. Afterwards, I didn't look, but I know I added at least two miles to my post V14.2 non-FSD driving. It would have been nice to have just been able to tell Perl: "Follow that car!"
Done a little more mixed driving with FSD 4.2.1.
Worst thing so far is FSD seems to be having lane changing anxiety. FSD (or I) will signal, FSD will start to transition, return to original, start again, return again.... I sometimes must help it by holding the signal stalk down or up until it completes the lane change.
Overall Navigation integration seems to be a little spotty.
Also, FSD still hits (some) potholes.
On the plus side, it sees and responds to emergency vehicles, even seeing one ambulance I didn't see because it was mostly hidden behind some cars and was running without a siren.
Installed 14.2.1 on Perl (2023 MY LR AWD) this afternoon. Took her for a 40 mile twilight supervised drive on country roads and interstate. Took over at one point to fix a problem in the route caused by the navigator. FSD was flawless. Looking forward to tomorrow's planned drive.
Might this have been Dan O'Dowd, forgetting that he wasn't in a Tesla?\youtube.com/shorts/IeogL4KnO…
