Around then they rolled out a change that I hate, which was to remove cruise control and replace it with self-driving. Previously “one tap” was cruise, two was self-drive. Now it’s right into self-drive. I assume that increased hours significantly.
They just changed the assignments of what tapping the right stalk once vs twice does -- before, once brought you into cruise control and twice into autopilot. After the change, that order is reversed by default, but you can change that from the settings.
So for the real idea of how things are going, we would need a graph of also the total cruise miles (for FSD enabled Teslas). But this change was definitely done in order to get more easy miles for FSD testing, not UX.
It’s also not an accident that the trial went live shortly before Q2 numbers. Eager to see how the graph looks like in the next report (or if it is omitted completely).
