Thinking of canceling my Cyberbeast order (HW5)

[wdmom]

Hey, FSD... I was almost all the way home. Just turned off the highway at a light. Driving along, FSD suddenly braked. "Hey, my first phantom braking!". I overrode FSD and started in on the go pedal. Then, the phantom looked me in the eyes. Uncertain of its direction of travel. I stopped. We looked into each other's minds. Then, the phantom crossed the road with another deer and the other three stood unsure. I gave them a honk and they moved away from the road and I went on by.

I never would have seen the deer there at that time of day in that light there in the hard packed ice and snow beside the road.

FSD is here. Don't delay for "the next better version". There will always be another better version on the cusp of release. This version works. In DC Traffic and Maryland rural areas and highways and two-lane roads through the woods and rain and snow and blinding sun. It just works.

Now, I'm looking forward to the day I no longer have to roll back the right scroll wheel to slow the f$!K down...

That is so amazing! I live in the mountains and have considered my job to be watching for deer, CTs FSD job to be driving. But coming through No AZ/So Colorado mtns in the dusk and dark at Christmas it braked hard and i went through the same thought process until seeing the three small deer camouflaged right there on the shoulder. I honked, they almost lunged forward but then turned tail. It happened twice more on the trip and I’d never have seen any of them in time if they’d decided to cross.

Then the other day I was headed through town in FSD and it suddenly put on the right blinker and, I thought, was going to pull into a shopping center. I “didn’t have time for this” and yanked the wheel left, “taking over” just as the cop car came flying past with lights blazing. Yep, it’s way better a driver than I am, but the tailgating with recent updates is making it almost too annoying to use on the freeway anymore, being the offspring of an insurance adjuster who drilled it into us that 90% of accidents could be avoided if people didn’t follow too closely. I hope they fix that soon. Every time I take it out because of that I send in a recording, “tailgating again”.

Some claim Model S production hasn't stopped yet. I don't know who to believe.

It's clear that the Model S is still in production, because you can still design and order a custom configuration online, with your own selections for color, wheels, and interior. Tesla will make it to your specs and ship it out. Estimated delivery in 2-5 weeks to California. Same with Model X.

When the S/X go out of production, you'll know, because Tesla will shut down the online configurator and stop taking custom orders. Tesla will tell you to go pick a previously manufactured S/X from inventory instead (and of course, the vehicles in inventory may or may not have the exact options that you want).

According to Elon, S/X production is not scheduled to stop until 2Q 2026, so sometime between April and June. There will probably still be inventory vehicles available for a while after that.

It's so sad, these cars are very popular in my country. We have a lot of S models, and Tesla Club meets all the time.
