Phantom Braking: In several trips in rural Northern Wisconsin, I did not observe phantom braking. Turning onto a Highway with a Speed Limit of 55 mph or Faster: FSD Beta will look for cross traffic, then make the turn, but doesn’t accelerate to the speed limit fast enough to avoid the oncoming cross traffic.

The pause is a still longer than most drivers would use, so I will add a little accelerator pressure to avoid annoying a car following me. FSD Beta will still stop (sometimes too soon) and creep forward a little too long while it looks for cross traffic, then it will make the turn if needed, and now more aggressively accelerate to the maximum speed that is set.


Now the FSD Beta speed limit on roads with no lines is also 85 mph, just like roads with lines. With the previous version, you were limited to a speed of about 28 mph.

There are highways in Utah and other Western States where the speed limit is 80 mph, or even 85 mph in Texas.

I’ve obsessively use Full Self Driving Beta for 191 days through 5 updates of the software - V10.5, V10.8, V10.10, V10.11.2.1, and just now V10.12.2, which came with download 2022.12.3.20 Each new version has brought improvements, but also some backsliding, particularly in the area of phantom braking. I’ve been driving it across the country on the Interstate highways from North Carolina to Southern California, on the 12-lane metropolitan I-15 freeways and intersections of Salt Lake City, as well as on the rural roads of Northern Wisconsin. Background: I have driven my 2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range now for two years and 7 months.
