I wouldn’t call the Highland “bleeding edge” with respect to updates.

Agreed. I can still feel it every once in a while…even trigger it ever so slightly under some circumstances, but by and large it’s gone…subtle to the point now that it likely never would have justified its own thread. 😂

Same. I’m super thrilled with the fix, and would have bet $100 it couldn’t be handled with a software update. This was really the only issue I had with my car, so I’m now very pleased with my purchase.

Another issue with legibility is that Tesla seems to have implemented a “dark” vignette around the corners of the central gauge cluster to the extent that it effectively obscures some of the graphics (high beam symbol, for example). Too cute by 50%.

I’ve noticed significant improvement as well.

I have no idea why you guys can’t tell the difference with *.44. There are a “few” times I can perceive it lurking, but it’s cleared it up for me 90% of the time. The only time I feel it lurking is if I run up through 38-45 with NO vibration, then back off and accelerate at just the right...

My experience is just the opposite. I have to hold the wheel LESS and now only very rarely does it warn me to apply force. I think this is due to the use of the camera. Disabling that would likely require more frequent wheel torque verification.

I made a separate post about this in the “User Interface” forum, but I absolutely love this update to Autopilot. Previously, as everyone knows, the car required a consistent and annoying “force” applied to the yoke/steering wheel, and now this is NOT required. It seems for cars equipped with...

Upon further use, about 90% of the time I don’t even have to have my hands on the wheel. It seems the emphasis on driver awareness has moved primarily to the in-car camera, at least during the day.

By the way, I wanted to correct this comment…my Model S in-car warning says to “Apply Force” to the yoke.

I need to update my profile, but yes, I have a 2022 MSLR with an in-cabin camera. What's the scenario for cars that do not?

For the record, I certainly understood it was applying rotational torque to the steering wheel/yoke. Personally, I found it overly obtrusive and borderline ridiculous in 2023, so I'm super happy with the change.

You're right, Tesla doesn't use that terminology on the screen, but in practice (previously) it was a misnomer, because simply placing your hands on the wheel was not adequate...the wheel needed an input in order to satisfy the requirement. That input, in my experience in my car, was both...

By Tesla's own documentation, "tugging" the steering wheel was required to verify interaction...every #@^#! 30 seconds. Now I don't have to do that. It's a win in my book.

In my experience, there was no "resting your finger on the yoke" there had to be an intentional, relatively forceful steering intervention (yes, I know you could also adjust the volume to trigger it). My wife's X3 uses a capacitive sensor, and doesn't require moving the steering wheel. Tesla's...
