Consumer Description
I took delivery of a 2026 Tesla Model Y on Sept. 20, 2025. It came with a 30 day trial of FSD. I tried it out for less than a week, and decided that I don't have a death wish. The ifrst failure was when it stoppped for a red light, and there was a not right turn on red sign. The car patiently waited for a little while and then suddenly started to begin turning on the red light - like it ran out of patience.I slammed the brake which triggered an insurance ding (Telsa rate is increased) for hitting the brake. The the next day the car was poised to turn left. There were 2 lanes of opposition traffic and 1 lane for my direction. Luckily traffic was low, because it turned into the lane for incoming traffic and I was able to steer the car into the right lane, in between some traffic cones. After that event, which really shook me up, I stopped using it, even though it had been nice to have the car do the driving. Incidents like that are just too scary and dangerous. And it is an insult that Tesla penalizes me for driving safely - like hitting my brake as a caution, if I see a person who might bolt out in front of me - or does. Braking is discouraged. Also , dot penalized when I pulled down my sun visor when I turned into blinding sunlight. The car alarms blasted and the screen filled with 'caution' triangles. When I started with the FSD, I had to find controls because it sped 40 in a 30 zone and followed too closely to the car in front of me. I'm a senior and I use a lot of caution driving, in anticipation of other drivers doing bad things. It seemed like FSD encouraged agresive driving. I don't think the Tesla FSD is ready for prime time yet.
