Just got [xxx] yesterday morning. I have ~350 miles on this version now in ~24 hrs. First time I've ever completely turned off fsd and went back to autopilot only. This release is absolutely 100% dangerous and needs to be pulled and rolled back ASAP observations: 1: does not honor turn only lanes and drives straight through them. 2: constant lane switching no matter what setting it's on. 3: lane changes without using turn signal. Example, in right lane, it fully changes lane to left lane using turn signal, then decides to just go right back to the right lane again without using turn signal cutting off other vehicles. 4: speed issues, it can't decide on speeds. 45mph road. I do like 5mph over. With no other cars around, it will speed up to 55-60 (above max setting) then drop down to 40-43mph. It's all over the [xxx] place! even worse on freeway. So it actively exceeds speed limits, as much as enough to get my license automatically revoked under wisconsin law! 5: redesigned where set speed limit is displayed. No longer shows unless you actively change it. Then it disappears again. Need to constantly fiddle with set speed just to see how crazy it will decide to break the law, or how slow it will go and [xxx] other drivers. 6: rolling stops, had a number of rolling stops today and one where it blew straight through a stop sign. 7: route choices are absolutely alinidine. Seems to prioritize taking the least efficient routes. 8: drives like a bucking bronco with accel and decell. 9: ping pongs within the lane. False emergency braking events. Last release the double stop at stop signs had gotten better. This release they are full back again. It is once again stopping at both sides of the intersection. Vehicle departing lane warnings when driving manually, even when my turn signal is on so I can pull into a parking lot or my own driveway! with the above, there have been no other changes other than firmware update.

I've reached out to Tesla service department on multiple occasions regarding the auto pilot software update and they have failed to provide an update as of today February 19th, 2024.
Tesla issues encountered with Model X 2016: 1). Bought a demo car with a new car warranty, the car is supposed to be checked and verified that it meets safety guidelines, and certain standards, a). The car had a yellowish tinge had to get it buffed and detailed to look true pearl white cost $400 b). My tires were so bad the tire shop told me they are unsafe to drive so had to get them replaced the morning after I bought the car from Tesla-ohio branch and got back to chicago I informed Tesla about all nothing was done cost approximately $2000 c). After I purchased the car before I could drive to ohio to pick it up Tesla employee backed up the car into a pole I was told it will be fixed it was not cost $4k d). Wheels were all scratched up had to get them refinished cost approximately $900 2). Warrant is not honored always. Over the years camera and sensor very unsafe and every time Tesla says can’t reproduce even after providing proof of videos, one point finally got tired paid out of pocket to replace front 2 sensors they never bothered to take it apart and verify it’s working safely and properly, after paying out of pocket at least the lane change worked 98% of time cost around $500-600 3). Auto pilot is misleadingly unsafe, cameras and sensors have either reached end of life or simply not working but definitely unsafe because sometimes the car drives like a drunk person on streets, confused if lanes merging I had incidents where it would have caused an accident had I not taken over and there was no warning 4). Advertised range is deceptive and misleading, claim is my car to get 255 miles in reality I get around 120-130 which is more like half the range makes it hard to go out of town, an 8 hr trip becomes a 13-15 hr trip.
Having many issues that seem to follow the reported symptoms of failing emmc memory, however Tesla told me that it is not the issue and that the emmc just needs "refreshed" for $95. 59. It sounds like a way for Tesla to delay the inevitable replacement or avoid replacing the module. Also, I think it should be illegal for an automaker to leave a feature such as autopilot in "beta" form indefinitely in a production vehicle. I suspect the feature (that was quite expensive) will never be actually finished since development is probably no longer happening on older vehicles.
