    There is a FSD summary in the User’s Guide but thin on the tricks you need to learn. I’m seeing more homegrown YouTubes sharing the tricks… a good thing.

    As for me, AutoPilot since March 26, 2019. A month later, AutoPilot saved me and my family. In October 2019, bought FSD $6,000 and soon the “long development.” It was November 2024 when the new code branch came into its own.

    I’ve had a lot of hands on including diagnosis and reporting problems. But there has very seldom I haven’t preferred AutoPilot/FSD. Those exceptions were when I needed to explore some boundary conditions.

    The comparison videos recall memories of early AutoPilot and FSD. Emulators are discovering what Tesla fixed years ago. But I am sure the other system drivers are learning what works and coming to rely on the features that don’t s*ck.
