The highway is probably about 100 -150 yards from the antenna. Tesla GPS doesn’t always have issues there, but it does seem to be a recurring problem spot. What phone app are you using to get DOP info? I still don’t understand why it seems to be just me here in Burlington, VT. I know many people...

I wish I could say the same. I do not have FSD, but any software changes are making no difference for me. GPS shows my car driving over the river and through the woods regardless of auto pilot or navigation being engaged. Just a crazy thought, but my car seems to frequently have this problem...

Thanks for the very detailed response. I don’t own a gps device other than my phone and I don’t think I’d buy one just to troubleshoot a car at the end of a lease. It’s clear from the service notes that Tesla wants to blame my location and not their car. I’ve had this problem in big cities...

Best of luck with the interior camera replacement. I mentioned that possible fix to service at least a half dozen times prior to my appointment. Not only did they not replace it, they never even acknowledged that I suggested it. It seems like they were intentionally avoiding it.

My response:

No charge except the 6 hour round trip drive to get to the conveniently located service center.

My Model 3 RWD was in service the last couple of days for this ongoing GPS circus. This is the second time in to address this issue. They had me submit bug reports whenever it occurred. The issue was escalated to the "Engineers." They informed me that the car was only picking up two satellites...

I don’t do a lot of highway driving so I don’t use auto pilot much. I have experienced phantom braking when it’s been on the highway. The car thinks it’s on a side road and checks the speed limit. I posted a video on YouTube that shows what happens when I try to use navigation. I don’t think I...

It’s a long drive from Vermont! 🤣

Mobile service replaced my antenna. It did absolutely nothing.

That is interesting and frustrating as well. I first documented my GPS problems going back all the way to August of 2021. If Tesla maintains some sort of database of known issues they sure don’t do much in the way of sharing with their service techs. The service techs seem to be ignorant of any...

Why would it be intermittent and occur after 2 years of normal functioning? I’ve never replaced the front glass.

I have another appointment with service to fix my heat (currently not functioning - they are going to replace the heater entirely). We’ll see if the bug reports yield any helpful information. Seems to me that it’s a software issue that won’t be fixed by service.

I have a 2019 rwd M3. GPS has gone off the rails. Will show me driving over the river and through the hills, driving backwards, drifting sideways. If I try to navigate, it has to constantly update the route based on whatever road it thinks it’s near. Often works properly though. Really...
