i didn't know a car picture means headlight lolI want to find out what this adjust mean 2-7 for the headlightView attachment 856812
It probably doesn't matter anymore, as Tesla has been moving people to pure vision with the recent updates. Minimum following distance with radar is 1, vision is 2.It's daft anyway, anything lower than 4 is way too short. I think there's a difference between radar and vision in what minimum you can set.
It says right there in the passage quoted in the manual:It probably doesn't matter anymore, as Tesla has been moving people to pure vision with the recent updates. Minimum following distance with radar is 1, vision is 2.
As far as what the numbers actually mean, I have no idea. Does anyone know? Car length? Seconds? or something else?
Officially it is car length - but the following distance changes with speed so it is actually seconds. For any state I'm familiar with legal following distance is 3 seconds, only setting 7 is close to legal.It probably doesn't matter anymore, as Tesla has been moving people to pure vision with the recent updates.

The gap is required by law in most places. I drive manually most of the time and I leave a healthy gap and don't have issues with people trying to get in front of me. I typically stay in the second lane however and almost never in the leftmost lane (unless I'm well ahead of traffic), so someone that feels I'm slow can always pass me and stay on the leftmost lane.You guys must live in some very chill places to drive on settings that high. Here you would have your TACC freaking out and slamming on the brakes constantly as every car behind you rages and passes you to fill the gap XD
That sounds like a lot in feet, but on a highway, it's not actually that much. Put another way, it's 1/18 of a mile.I do think 1 or 2 is excessively close. I generally run 3-4 depending on various conditions.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone in my life actively leaving a full 3 second gap on the freeway even in a semi. That's 286 feet at 65MPH.
When I had a Chevy Volt, it would tell me the follow gap in seconds. Around Boston, I realized the typical traffic gap that drivers were using was between 0.6 and 0.8secs. Way too stressful for me. And, I felt that 1.2secs was a comfortable distance for me.The gap is required by law in most places.

I never realized 1 or 2 is that short (0.5 or 1 seconds is very short in my book). I guess a lot of people here are tailgaters.
You'd never get where you are going around here with that gap. Cars would be constantly pulling in front of you with that big of a gap. Pretty soon you would be going backward.Got it. I have it set to 5 for now. Thanks!!

That is exactly my point about where I am too haha. A 3 second gap would mean you should stick to surface streets because the freeway will be way too much for you.You'd never get where you are going around here with that gap.
