1:1 Tesla-owner FSD coaching (supervised)

$150 / 60 min · $250 / 90 min · virtual

I’m Jon Herrity. I film Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) on Chicago-area roads, I have been an FSD Early Access tester since 2021, and I will sit with you on a call, look at your car, and walk the settings Tesla actually ships — not a secret menu, not a jailbreak, not a “hands-off” pitch.

If you just took delivery, swapped from HW3 to HW4 (or the other way around), or you keep second-guessing every prompt, this is the session.

Who this is for

This is owner education. You stay the driver. Tesla’s own owner’s manual is the source of truth for what the car is allowed to do.

What is not included

I will say this once, in plain English:

How a session runs

Before the call (10 minutes of your time)

  1. Confirm the car is charged enough to sit in Park with the screen on.
  2. Screenshot Controls → Software → Additional Vehicle Information (Autopilot / AI computer line) and the current software version.
  3. Note your model, year, and whether FSD is purchased or a subscription.
  4. Write three things that annoy you: phantom braking, late lane changes, parking, nags, HW3 vs HW4 anxiety — whatever it actually is.

60-minute session ($150)

  1. Who you are, what the car is (5 min). HW3 or HW4, software build, how long you have had FSD.
  2. Enable and start, the documented way (10 min). Park, Controls → Self-Driving → Full Self-Driving (Supervised), headlights Auto/On, cameras clear. Right scroll button vs Start Self-Driving on the screen. Brake Confirm. What blocks Start from Park (unbuckled, door open, charge cable, cabin camera blocked).
  3. Speed Profile and Arrival Options (15 min). Sloth / Chill / Standard / Hurry / Mad Max — what Tesla says they change (speed + lane-change frequency), not what a comment section claims. Arrival: Park vs Pull Over; Parking Lot / Street / Driveway / Parking Garage / Curbside if your build has them. We pick defaults that match your commute, not mine.
  4. Supervised habits (15 min). Cabin camera green indicator. Escalating attention warnings. Five strikeouts = a week without Autosteer / FSD. A strikeout can age off after 3.5 days if you do not earn another. Handheld devices. When to cancel (brake, right scroll, steering). Practice a disengage in a parking lot before you do it at 70 mph on I-90.
  5. Your three problems (15 min). We spend the rest of the hour on the actual issues you wrote down. I will tell you when the answer is “take over,” when it is “clean the camera,” and when it is “that is just this build on your hardware.”

90-minute session ($250)

Everything above, plus a longer walkthrough of a route you actually drive (you share screen / cabin view; I do not remote-control the car), HW3 vs HW4 expectation-setting for a purchase decision you are already making, and a written settings snapshot you can keep. Still virtual. Still supervised. Still not a ride-along unless we separately agree to one in the Chicago northwest suburbs — that is not in the base price.

After

You get a short recap: the settings we changed, the three habits to keep, and what I told you to ignore. No recording of your cabin unless you ask for it. No Tesla accounts of mine. No “I’ll push a build to you.”
