I'm not an "Elon simp," and the idea that owning a Tesla means I support him is absurd. Most of you order things on Amazon, but we don't run around calling you "Bezos simps."
Nevertheless, I just want to note that I've used FSD for about 9 months now. Maybe I'm just the "lucky one," but I've only ever have it so something I didn't expect/want once in that period, which was when I was using it at night and it seemed to have gotten confused about a turning lane vs the highway.
I just recently used it to drive from Worcester to Boston Logan, and I didn't have to handle the wheel at all until I took over to pull it into the parking garage. Frankly, it works incredibly well for me. Your mileage may vary.
You're unbelievably lucky. I got FSD Beta in one of the early release waves, and had it until right before V11 when I got tired of paying $200/mo for it. I had 2 red lights in my city it would consistently try to run every single time. I reported it to Tesla dozens of times with no resolution across many updates. There's so many videos of FSD Beta failing online, it was absolutely not ready for public roads at the time, and doesn't seem to be meaningfully closer based on the videos I've watched recently.
The cameras and processors in your car just fundamentally aren't good enough for self-driving (there still isn't a suite of sensors and hardware that is, despite throwing ungodly amounts of money at the problem) and Tesla has proven multiple times that they don't have a culture of safety and shouldn't be trusted to develop this technology.
“It’s ok because it didn’t happen to me”
No, what I said is, "my general experience has been good, but I understand that may not be the general experience of the technology."
