User reports of problems with the partially-automated feature started posting online before Elon Musk tweeted: “Seeing some issues with 10.3, so rolling back to 10.2 temporarily. Please note, this is to be expected with beta software. It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.”
make initially made the 10.3 version update available to owners who have earned a safety score of at least 99 out of 100 using an in-car driver monitoring system. The automaker uniquely allows its customers to participate in tests of new driver assistance software.
