Re: After the upgrade, the car stopped creeping.

Would you mind renaming the thread to "car won't creep after latest OTA update"? Otherwise, your post might be buried in all the "noise" about OTA updates and the like.

Re: Frequently foolish and harmful FSD (Australia)

There are some significant variations between the North American and Australian versions of FSD, as far as I can tell. For example, I recall that, up until about a month ago, the speed settings were different. Are there any speed profiles available at this time?
