Is there a way to turn off selfish-mode in FSD?
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user reports that FSD in standard mode moved into the left lane, passed a half-mile queue, and force-merged just before the highway ramp they needed to take. According to the user, when they asked the Grok assistant in the vehicle why, it replied that it prioritizes the driver's timing over others, acknowledging this is not socially appropriate. The post asks whether there is a way to turn off this behavior. There is no Tesla confirmation or independent verification of the episode.
- Reported: FSD in standard mode skipped a half-mile queue before a highway ramp.
- According to the user, Grok said it prioritizes their timing over others'.
🔎 Why it matters: No official Tesla confirmation exists: the report describes a lane change and a forced merge after passing a half-mile queue, and the explanation comes only from Grok's response, not from technical documentation.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: A forced merge after passing a half-mile queue would mean cutting in front of drivers who were waiting their turn, if the behavior is confirmed.
