In general this new version of Tesla FSD is very good.
It still has problems parking in the correct parking spot.
To minimize the "nagging" please read below.

Short version: keep the car convinced you’re paying attention. That’s all the “nag” is. Here’s how to make it bug you less, without doing anything sketchy or unsafe.
1. Give it a steady, light input on the wheel
Tesla still uses wheel torque plus the driver-monitoring camera. If the wheel thinks no one is there, it nags. Rest one hand at ~4–5 o’clock or 7–8 o’clock and apply a tiny, constant twist. Not a big turn—just a little resistance so it can “feel” you. People who only “tap” the wheel every time it nags get more nags later. (This is still how Autopilot/FSD is described in the manual. Tesla+1)
2. Keep the cabin camera happy
Newer builds lean harder on the in-cabin camera: if you’re not looking forward, it ramps up alerts. So: face forward, don’t look down at your phone, and don’t cover the camera above the mirror. Sunglasses, especially dark/reflective ones, can make it stricter because Tesla improved the “sunglasses loophole.” Tesla Owners Online+2Tesla+2
3. Don’t make it nervous
When visibility is bad (sun glare, rain, dirty cameras), the system is already working harder, and attention checks can feel more frequent. Wipe the exterior cameras and keep the windshield clear; Tesla literally tells you this because blocked cameras reduce confidence. Lower confidence → more supervision → more nags. Tesla+1
4. Sit where it can see you
If you’re too far back, slouched, or off to the side, the cabin camera may think you’re not looking. A small seat/tilt change so your face is centered can reduce eye-attention warnings. Owners noticed this after the stricter driver-monitoring updates. Tesla Motors Club+1
5. Use the scroll-wheel wiggle (easy one)
A tiny steering movement usually works, but on a lot of cars a brief “wiggle” of the left scroll wheel (volume) with your hand on the wheel also satisfies it—drivers report this as a low-effort way to acknowledge without yanking the wheel. Still keep your hand on the wheel. Tesla Motors Club
6. Don’t fight the attention system
Tesla is under NHTSA and other scrutiny right now, so recent updates skew toward more monitoring, not less. If you try to defeat it (weights on wheel, covering camera), you can get more frequent nags, strikes, or even temporary FSD/Autopilot lockouts—because the software is literally being tuned to catch that behavior.

7. Keep software current
Some versions (like the v12.x wave, then later 2025 builds) reduced the old constant steering-wheel nag and shifted more to vision-based attention—better if you actually look forward, worse if you don’t. So staying on the latest build can help if you drive the way it wants. DIY Wrap Club formerly TESBROS+1
If you do just these three—(1) light constant hand torque, (2) look forward where the camera can see your eyes, (3) keep cameras clean—you’ll cut most of the nagging without risking strikes.
