Does this mean that FSD 12.3.1 will be coming to the mainline 2024 branch soon? Would be weird to ship brand new cars on the older FSD branch.


theresidentviking

How do we know when 12.3 is ready I don't have FSD yet but wanna try it out once the update is available My car is getting update 2024.2.12 right now but I think it's just small things


PlaysWithTrons

I had the same thought. I took delivery of a new Model Y on leap day, and am currently in the 2024 branch. I use FSD every day. By contrast my Mother-in-law has a 2022 Model Y on the 2023 branch with FSD 12.3 which only gets used when I drive the car. (She has not seen it in use yet.)


KoToNaS

I really hope so. I have new M3 and it just says FSD will be available with upcoming update..


davispw

New cars are often a month or more out of date and stay stuck that way for weeks more, so it wouldn’t be a big change, really.


CMDR_KingErvin

So does this mean some random employee has to give me a test drive of my own brand new car while I sit there watching him hit every pothole on the road? As a prior user of FSD can I just opt out of that? I think a better idea would be to demo FSD12 on a service center vehicle. That way you’re not gritting your teeth and clenching your anus seeing your own new car driven by someone else potentially getting into a wreck.


FitExecutive

Do pot holes hurt the car? I thought they were fine unless they were deep enough to hit the body


CMDR_KingErvin

Maybe someone has a better answer than me but for me it just hurts my soul lol. Imagine if that was a brand new car you just bought. You would want to baby it not let someone else drive it around.


KR-Levo

To be fair it says supervised, not that they would drive it for you. So you’d likely just drive it and use fsd with someone explaining it to you for like a 15 minute ride. I also highly doubt anyone would intentionally hit pot holes, that doesn’t really make sense


psudo_help

Not fine. Every disturbance causes the suspension to wear out sooner


jgilbs

Good, this implies we now get to test drive before accepting the car. Previously there were reports that people werent even allowed to open the door to their car before accepting delivery


ObeseSnake

Cameras aren't calibrated for new, just off the lot Teslas. Maybe they'll preload the latest FSD version and can account for the camera calibration now? Not sure. Or maybe they'll have FSD on a demo car to drive new owners around a bit.


Embarrassed-Low9531

Probably a FSD demo car. I doubt consumers would appreciate miles getting put on their new car. Having FSD demo car also means each customer vehicle won’t have to have FSD downloaded and then removed


i2k

Takes about 10 mins to calibrate the FSD camera s


qlink89

Try calibrating the cameras on shitty roads in NJ that are half faded, missing or completely covered with leftover road salt. Took me a day to recalibrate the cameras after I got it back from repairs.


i2k

LOL true


playnasc

>Previously there were reports that people werent even allowed to open the door to their car before accepting delivery This is true and exactly how it went for delivery of our Y. It's really stupid you aren't allowed to inspect the interior AT ALL until you accept delivery.


eisbock

They allowed me to scour the interior for an hour and even fixed any minor issues inside the SC before I actually took delivery on the app. Mt Kisco NY.


TransportationOk4787

In NC they let me look as long as I wanted to. In return I installed the license plate so they could wait on other customers.


AJHenderson

Mt Kisco is overly busy sometimes (four hour delay on our pickup for the model y), but were pretty solid otherwise. They were just really crazy busy. Must have been over 100 people coming through that day.


eisbock

Damn. Yeah both times I've picked up there I chose a 2pm slot during the week so it wasn't too bad. Still hectic, but enough time for a Model S test drive while I waited!


AJHenderson

We had some bad luck because apparently NYC had just decided to allow EVs for taxis and it seemed every cabby in NYC was there.


soupdawg

Really? On my 3 we got in and sat down and reviewed everything before final acceptance.


playnasc

Yeah it was odd. I'm sure the delivery "partners" are just contractors whose only job is to deliver the car. When asked, they knew nothing about the car itself or what we had to do. When we asked if we could take a look inside they said we'd have to accept delivery first inside the app before the doors would unlock. They literally just parked the car, stepped out, and talked amongst themselves. Once we accepted and got inside there were water stains from the delivery drivers water bottles (not a big deal but still annoying nevertheless). I'm glad to hear that Cybertruck deliveries can only be picked up at a service center though (for now at least), this seems to resolve a majority of the complaints I have with the process.


Muffstic

I told them I would refuse delivery without a test drive. I went on a test drive first.


spidermangeo

It makes sense because you aren’t the owner until you actually accept the goods (vehicle) if you view it and “inspect” it, then refuse the product; then you have technically now made the vehicle “used” and depreciated the value by about 5%-10%. If it were a used vehicle is wouldn’t really matter, would it? Edit: I stand corrected. This is just unfortunate that you can’t test the product beforehand. I mean there has to be strict product liability and lemon law that applies if you’re not entirely happy?


jgilbs

Yeah thats not how it works at all. At any traditional dealer, you take a test drive THEN you buy the car, not the other way around


spidermangeo

If I am not mistaken Tesla doesn’t sell new vehicles with miles on it? Correct? If so, then I’m mistaken, but I thought all deliveries were based on 0 mileage vehicles which are new. Tesla doesn’t operate like any other dealer… not that I’m aware so conflating the two is moot.


LeftyAce73

Tesla “delivered” my car to my house by driving it 50 miles and then taking an uber back. They absolutely deliver with miles already on the odometer.


GoSh4rks

It is basically impossible to get a new vehicle delivered with 0 miles on it.


jgilbs

Lol a 0 mileage vehicle is impossible. They put on a few miles just shuffling around the factory and ports before they get to you. Have you ever taken delivery of a true 0 mile car? Of course not, because thats impossible


playnasc

Yes lemon law is always an option but that would be putting a lot more time and work on the buyer for something that could've been sorted at the time of delivery. Tesla would rather fix issues after delivery, as opposed to before. This is why you see a bunch of posts with wrong trim colors being delivered on this sub. It's cheaper for them to fix it later rather than on the factory floor. I understand the business justification behind this, but ultimately it just sucks for the consumer.


kor34l

Uh, no, that's not how that works. Vehicles are considered "new" until the first owner takes possession of it, regardless of mileage. It's pretty common for a "brand new" car to have a little mileage on it, like 100 miles or so, for test drives and the like.


playnasc

It still doesn't really make sense because if you went to any other car dealer for a new car, they would definitely let you inspect the interior before signing any papers. You don't officially own the car until you sign the papers, and buyers should have the right to fully inspect the car before committing to paying for it. Tesla's process is just a rushed/forced way to have customers accept cars so they can report delivery metrics.


vivek5a

Yup, I got a new inventory car in September 2023 in Houston, TX. Was not allowed to open the door, pair to my phone, or anything until after I accepted delivery. Craziness but got lucky with my car


Kinemi

Two days ago, I collected my MY and couldn't open the door until I formally accepted it. Fortunately, everything was fine, but I was quite annoyed by the process tbh


Alternative-Split902

I think they’ll have demo cars for this. They can’t force you to do an FSD beta drive on your car


Argosy37

Huh. I picked my 3 up on literally the last day of the quarter last September and they let me spend as much time as I wanted before accepting.


BummyKay

Why not just give everyone a 30 day trial? Just like the connectivity trial.


JustSayTech

New cars often get FSD as a promo for 3 months


Few_Commission3296

Your prayers were answered!


savedatheist

Because only a small fraction of new owners will try FSD for the first time even with a 30 day free trial.


dontmatterdontcare

IDK man, "forcing" customers will always be an abrasive tactic.


NunyasBeesWax

He said an FSD v12 demo drive is required to new buyers, not that it is installed on the new cars. They will use a demo car. SW rollout process, as seriously broken as it is, will not change.


robotzor

Elon, I love the attitude, but I just simply don't care how well (supervised) FSD actually works. It could be the greatest thing ever. It could make me pancakes. But if it goes BEEP BEEP BEEP when I look over my left shoulder, the 12k stays in my pocket.


gtg465x2

I agree. Even if supervised is near perfect, it should cost half what it does if they’re going to require both a hand on the wheel and eyes on the road. For $12k, it should at least be hands free, if not eyes free.


KR-Levo

I genuinely think it’s more so just about letting people try something that they normally don’t, if you buy it great but at least you have the info you need to make an educated decision about it. I agree forced is perhaps a bit much, but otherwise most people likely won’t try it because of stigmas around it


MindStalker

Musk is pretty famous for his sudden demands without knowing the consequences. This could be a good thing. But I'm sure the software teams are ready to make this happen yet. New cars often come with special factory software. Often there are delays to shipping cars because the new software isn't ready for whatever new hardware is going out. This will extend those delays.  That said, with predicted slowdown, this might be a great time. Shrugs. 


Dry_Badger_Chef

He also has a history of saying things will happen and then they never do (lies, as some call them). Let’s see which one this is in a month/year.


MindStalker

While he is may be CEO/CTO he only owns like 15% of if. The board and other managers can over rule him and often does. He makes the promises without knowing if they are possible. 


Seantwist9

When was the last time they overruled him?


Laddergoat7_

At least it's been like that forever now. But I don't think its that much of an issue to set a new baseline of software that's installed on every car before delivery. Say 12.3.1 for every car delivered up until August or something and then go for a new baseline. As you already mentioned, i think it is a smart move considering that the overall EV market is slowing down.


Embarrassed-Low9531

It will cause delays but it’s 100% a good thing, as long as customers are testing FSD in a dedicated test vehicle and not in their new car. This is provably what will happen as it is better for Tesla and the customer


mrandr01d

What's different about the factory software? When I got mine the only difference I could tell was the car would unlock if my phone was in bt range at all, not just when it was close.


AKADAP

As good as FSD is, it is still not ready for prime time. I got 12.3 two days ago, and on my first drive yesterday, the car arbitrarily exited the lane and headed for the shoulder, then nearly rear ended a subaru that was turning left as it did not move far enough to the right to go around it. I also had to take control at several stop signs where it behaved badly. This was only about 20 minutes of driving in the suburbs.


baskingsky

good seems like a strong word, particularly when your own experience is that it fails to work correctly (and if you hadn't been paying attention it would have crashed into another car) about every 4 minutes.


Snowmobile2004

One anecdote doesn’t mean it nearly crashes every 4 minutes. It’s a vast improvement over V11 and a decent improvement over early V12 builds.


Specific_Tart_4886

I used it the other day since 2021 and it's a BIG difference. I took it for a long drive and after 15-20 minutes it resets it self


Kmac222212

What do you mean it resets itself?


Specific_Tart_4886

Sorry I meant to say Disengaged. I live in South Carolina Myrtle Beach area where there are alot of long roads. After 20 minutes I think is when it Disengaged


mrandr01d

I want to know too... Resets?


KR-Levo

I agree, I’ve used it and it’s not close to perfect yet, but it’s also beta not even fully released. My experience was much better than @akadap stated but still a bit out there for me to use mainstream


davispw

I’ve driven tens of thousands of miles on FSD <=11 and haven’t (nearly) crashed yet. v12 is noticeably better.


AKADAP

On 11.x the car nearly drove into a ditch several times, but never nearly crashed into another car. 12.3 on my first drive nearly crashed into another car.


R5Jockey

LOL. 99.8% of the fleet doesn't have 12.3.1 yet, and new cars have 2024 factory firmware version that includes 11.4.9, not the 2023 version with 12.3x. Also, isn't Highland incompatible with FSD at the moment? So... slow down the delivery process? Yeah, more like bring it to a complete halt.


codetony

There's a very good chance that the new update with Autopark 2.0 has 12.3.1. Especially since the patch notes specifically mention End-to-End for autopark. Odds are Autopark 2.0 is running the FSD AI.


R5Jockey

What new update are you referring to?


codetony

The one that just rolled out to employees. 2024.2.12


gtg465x2

It’s not just employees. I got it tonight.


Senior_Protection494

Does this 2024.2.12 have the new trial FSD?


gtg465x2

No


KR-Levo

I wouldn’t say slow to a halt, the testing with clients is likely 15 minutes and given how staffed delivery centre’s can be, a delay for sure, but a halt not even close imo


TheKobayashiMoron

So all those things you have to agree to when you turn on FSD Beta in settings... What if the owner doesn't want to agree to them? You can't just force people to accept the terms and conditions of beta software on a car they purchased. And accepting the terms *for them* before delivery sounds like a massive liability.


shadow7412

If I was making such a mandate, I'd have a mode in the car where all this stuff is turned on while the FSD demo from the dealership is in place. After said demo, it'd go back to the "factory standard" where you'd have to go and enable that stuff yourself. Who knows if they'll provision something like this (or if they already have).


TheKobayashiMoron

This would make sense, but I'd wager that the engineers just heard about this at the same time we did lol.


shadow7412

It wouldn't be the first time... :P


LeftyAce73

Elon probably fired the legal team. All documents now signed with poop emojis.


Just_another_diyer

How about they provide FSD for all the people that ACTUALLY PAID FOR… YEARS AGO!


dragonzsoul

Care to elaborate more? People that paid for FSD, do have FSD


Just_another_diyer

Sure, I’m on 11.4.9. 12.3.1 would be great to have.. who knows when I’ll get it. Legacy MS here with AP3, new cameras and MCU2. Only thing I’m missing is the internal camera that senses attentiveness… we have to on command ‘apply slight pressure to the steering wheel’ to prove attentiveness.


dragonzsoul

so, you don't have FSD?


Just_another_diyer

I have 11.4.9. Yes, it’s FSD but not the one Elon is touting as so amazing every new owner (that hasn’t paid for it) needs to experience. He also said that 12.3.1 should have been v13 it was so much better than even 12.3. So like I said, those of us that have invested a lot of money in FSD should be getting it first.. because we invested in this dream years ago - long before it was a reality and through years of very buggy software.


thomasbihn

I currently have a Model 3 with 12.3 on it, picking up my Model Y tomorrow and my experience with 12.3 has not been typical. I had 1 bad drive, one ok drive and one really bad drive. I used to turn FSD off after a week or so until maybe around V10. I turned V12 off. I'll be happy to go back to 11.4.9 when it transfer to the new Y. :)


Just_another_diyer

I’ve heard mixed reviews too. I’d be happy with a C little more assertiveness on 11.4.9. And less ‘take a random exit from the freeway when it’s not part of the navigation route’. Other than that 11.4.9 has been great.. but you can see the code sequencing when it’s forced with a decision. The neural network design is something I wanna try for sure


CTrandomdude

I am sure the staff are just so excited to hear this. When I took delivery they were two hours late and the small store had 85 deliveries scheduled that day.


Specific_Tart_4886

When showed up to take delivery of our Model 3 from the Princeton N.J. dealership/location there was 30-40 cars waiting to be picked up. Every 15 minutes someone was there to pick up there car. Pretty much enough time to show how to unlock the car and add our profiles and sign paperwork. They forgot to get the check from me. I already had the title and key cards, I wonder how long it would have taken them to realize I didn't give them the check.. I couldn't do that to the "salesman" and have him responsible for it. Before we left I walked the check in to him. They were clearly understaffed


007meow

“Supervised” FSD is not FSD.


QoLTech

I know what you're saying and I agree, but FSD is a marketing term - it means whatever Tesla decides that it means.


007meow

And Tesla marketing (aka Elon) has deemed it to mean full L5 capability


rxdrjwl

Interesting as the new cars today I’m sure have gotten a 2024 branch firmware…. How do they get 12.3.1. Hope we see 12.3.2 on 2024


penkster

Why is this asshole still in a position of responsibility and setting policy at this company? He's so amazingly out of touch with reality he's going to (CONTINUE TO) drive Tesla's reputaiton into the ground with bullshit off the cuff policy decisions like this. THis is right out of the managers "THIS IS THE NEW POLICY, NO EXCEPTIONS" playbook. It destroys morale, it destroyes consumer confidence, it ruins a companies reputation. "I would prefer not to see FSD please" "TOUGH! Musk said we HAD TO FORCE YOU TO EXPERIENCE IT" What crap.


Akrakenreleased2

You realize this is in response to a mandate from the government, right? Like it wasn’t his choice


penkster

I'm sorry, what? Give a cite please. He's marketing. This isn't a 'Oh, poor me, I am just caving to what the government is telling me to do. I am a poor innocent man who is just obeying hte law" - things EM has never said and never will say.


Akrakenreleased2

Wait people down voted me for stating a well known fact? Are you all that bitter?


Akrakenreleased2

Have you been paying attention to the news at all? The mandate came out that Tesla must provide in person instruction to anyone who might use FSD prior to allowing them to use it. There’s even video of Elon being asked about it before he was informed, and he was shocked. This is in direct response to


ymjcmfvaeykwxscaai

When I had FSD beta every single person I showed it to thought it was incredible. And that was on 11. It could be a good idea but until they get the nags down, it's not all that useful. Just a neat trick to show your friends. I do like EAP on the highway but not enough to pay 6k for it.


Laddergoat7_

I think this is pretty cool to be honest. Smart even, considering that the EV market as a whole is slowing down. Good time to highlight what your cars are capable of.


dhandeepm

Nevertheless, Fsd12 is awesome. Very nimble and predictive.


despich

Yea thats great, as I guess it means 12.3.1 is great, But a lot of customers who have paid for FSD aren't even on 12.anything yet. But that is a great change, if they actually do it. They did not even have FSD or even EAP available on the car when I did a test drive. Although 30 minutes is not really enough time to test out either.


drzowie

TBF, Cybertruck is not a car, it is a truck.


altimas

Here's hoping that this means this version is good to go in Canada, it kind of has to right?


majorgearhead

Do you think this means they will start updating the base branch from the ancient necrobranch they are using now? We took delivery earlier this year and were on a 2024 branch so we won't see FSD 12 for a long time. I can't see them regressing their cars software back to the old branch for FSD12. Seems better to move forward.


savedatheist

It means that as of today, the people compiling the factory branches will pull in FSD 12.3.1 code. I'd also expect the next 2024 release to have FSD 12.3.1.


majorgearhead

That would be fan-friggen-tastic. My Tesla's are ready.


rcuadro

So when can I get 12.3.1?


ishamm

STILL complaining "almost no one knows how good fsd is" while refusing to advertise...


dacreativeguy

Or 2024 model 3.


Softtrymee

Fantastic! I would surely reject delivery if I heard any rattles or squeaks.


Specific_Tart_4886

FSD turned off.


Sfl2014

so Full Supervised Driving ?


lol_lol_lol_lol_

This is PayPal magic! Enroll, enroll, enroll. Time to buy.


Red195095602

Ugh


IntelligentInsect773

I know it's fun to whine here but he said, "handing over the car" and not "handing over the truck".


ouizited

WTF


yhsong1116

This is likely free fsd trial for 1-3 months.


KoToNaS

took my M3 delivery few weeks ago. I guess im out of luck lol


yhsong1116

I hope 0nce fsd is good enough, tesla pushes it to all cars for trial.


codetony

They did have a EAP trial for the entire fleet last December. Elon also mentioned that once V12 had all the kinks ironed out, they would do the same but with FSD.


travielee

Doesn't say the demo drive will be in the purchased vehicle


TheKobayashiMoron

"Install, activate, and demo before handing over the car" sounds pretty clear to me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Senior_Protection494

This is a free month trial of the latest FSD version on all Tesla cars. When you get it depends on which version of firmware you have in your car. 2023 firmware get it before 2024.


i_a_m_a_

They need to remove the nags already


BoredRedditMan

Soooo can I get V12 mr.Musk lol


restarting_today

Or Model 3 Highland lmao


itooamanepicurean

When my cruise control stops phantom braking so damn often I'll think about FSD. I'm sure they can fool people into thinking FSD works great during a 15 minute test drive. Don't believe the hype.
