I have been driving a M3 AWD with FSD since October 2018. The software was getting better until sometime last year; but now it is getting worse. Here are a set of issues that I have not found a solution for:

1. You can no longer specify a home or work address as an exact GPS positions. They (or maybe Google) now only allows an address to be used. This does not work if your garage is not on the street side of you home! So now I cannot really navigate to my garage. This is a loss in functionality because you could do this in 2019 but not now. How can you have FSD if you can specify exactly where you want to go?
2. The music player is a terrible implementation and it is not getting better. It does not remember the song you were on before it went to sleep. Worse, it doesn't even remember if you were playing Apple Music or from the USB drive! Any music player needs to maintain where it is at in a playlist, or album, or song and return you to what you were listening to before you left the car.
3. The new MyQ garage door opener often reports an error about 1 out of 10 times when I leave my garage. I don't know if this is because it contacts MyQ and doesn't get a response or if has trouble switching between LTE and WiFi.
4. FSD is unusable at high speeds (75-80 mph) on an Interstate. I have had 17 phantom breaking events in 2 hours on I10 in west Texas! To prevent this, I now turn FSD off on long Interstate drives. The developers need to get out of CA and just take an instrumented car on a trip and get the data they need. This is especially true since beta testers can no longer send a clip to Tesla.
5. FSD will run a stop sign that it "sees". This may be because it fully relies on the map for stop signs; but it is bot annoying and dangerous, especially if you live on a divided street with a wide median that has stop signs for both sets of lanes when you are crossing it. It does not stop for the second stop sign. This may be because it will not use vision to override the map. I set video to the beta program over a year ago with no improvement on this.

This is still the best car I have owned by far; but annoyances like these need to be fixed. Are you seeing these problems or have you figured out a way around any of them?

I’ve almost entirely stopped using FSD. And don’t get me started on the music app. It used to be okay but each version it gets worse. Not nearly as happy with my M3 as I was 4 years ago.

Jim, I can only comment on the music and MyQ Garage door opener as I don't have FSD.
I often use Tidal and I find it picks up where I left off on my playlist/ album or other music set. I don't use Apple Music and rarely use the native music streaming service from Tesla.
MyQ has worked great for me and I love this new functionality. I have had a MyQ garage door opener for several years and had to always pull out my phone to open the garage door. The car does it seamlessly now for both arriving and leaving my home. We have two Teslas and one account works fine for both cars.
Your comments on FSD make me comfortable that I haven't considered adding it to either of my cars.

5) I'm pretty sure that it sees and I knows that it executes stop signs. I have a couple of roads that attach to the road at a high angle. So the stop signs are visible from the main road, but turned at a angle matching the other road.
And I've got to keep my foot on the accelerator as I pass, because the car will see the sign and try to stop.

Doesn't really matter that much at this point, V11 should be a different story.

I have none of the issues @Jim W. speaks of in my 2018 M3LR RWD. BUT, I stopped updating my car’s software about a year ago at v2022.20.8, the last version before disabling radar. I do have EAP/FSD. So, I now have another five reasons to not upgrade.

Couple of things. Your Model 3 has Homelink built in. Why are you paying extra for MyQ? What does that really do extra for you that Homelink doesn't, in practical terms?

If you want to pick up playing music where you left off in USB, here's how you can do it easily.

I have none of the issues you describe with FSD. Haven't had phantom braking since the last couple of updates ago.

I share your frustration with not being able to enter precise GPS coordinates in nav. Elon mentioned something about restoring this last year, but I've heard nothing recently. I've only owned my 2018 Model 3 for a year, so I never knew it was a thing, before. I live in a gated community and nav literally cannot find my house because the google street view cameras never got inside the gate. Instead, my Tesla wants to navigate to the street parallel to my home, about 100 yards away, next to a wall. GPS will solve this problem. Hope it happens soon. Or at all.

Want to swap cars for a week? I also have a 2018 with FSD / FSD-ß-ß.

I would LOVE to have a simple two mile drive without nay phantom braking. Just once.

Thanks for your comment. I guess I was correct that software updates over the last year have removed or worsened some of the features since you are not seeing the issues on a previous version.

Thank you for including the video with the work around to go back to where you are in playing USB music!

Actually I have been driving a M3 since 2018; but my current M3 is a 2022 that did not come with Homelink. My garages have openers that work with either Homelink or MyQ. In addition, MyQ adds things not possible with Homelink like showing the status (closing, opening, closed, or open) which I like.

Yes, Elon or Tesla developers need to get GPS location restored. If I navigate to home, I always have to End Navigation since I never actually get to my garage. If I forget to do that when arriving "home", then the next morning the car will not navigate to what is on my calendar because it thinks I haven't finished navigation to my previous destination. This was not a problem in my 2018 M3 that originally allowed setting home to a GPS location.

No, I'm good. LOL. Hopefully, V11.1 will finally put pb to rest.

We've been "hoping" for years now that the next release or update would fix XXX, YYY, ...

When will we (the royal "we") learn?

My gripe is that whenever I leave the car in the middle of a song that I listen to on a thumb drive in the USB port, when I get back to the car, not only is car trying to activate Tidal (to which I do NOT subscribe), but it won't even show the USB drive in the drop-down menu. I have to go to a radio station, then the USB drive appears. A major pain in the ass.

My suspicion is that someone in Tesla's IT Dept. is heavily invested in Tidal and is trying to get Tesla owners to sign up.

Well, I spoke too soon, Klaus. Ha ha ha. I went on a long drive yesterday (sadly, without V11.3.2 which I am still waiting for) and had some phantom braking a couple of times. Once though, it was being overly cautious of a pedestrian who looked to be walking into the street. Not sure if he was, but the car slowed down, so I get that one. But overall, I have to say, my approximately 250+ mi / 402 km drive was very good with the FSD beta that I have. Even in the rain. Took a lot of stress out of the trip. Unfortunately a broken deadfront jammed in the back of my charging port, leaving me in a bit of a panic at a Supercharging station until I figured out why I was unable to charge. I am now keeping some narrow needle nose pliers in the frunk along with the rest of my kit.

Thanks @garsh , had no idea what this was. Turns out mine were replaced about a few months after I got the car in 2018 during my first (free!) tire rotation.
