2020.36 software update

Yeah....TACC is just "smart" cruise control, where its better than normal cruise control because it uses a radar to match the speed of a car that is in front of you if its moving slower. Plus...its initial setting gets based on the current speed limit plus your offset.

That’s exactly how the ACC works on my 2017 Volt. I expected more.

I would think, as mentioned in earlier posts, if you dropped out of Autosteer and into TACC-only you could set any max speed you wanted (up to 90 MPH) and then re-enable Autosteer to get it to raise your speed as the speed limit increases. Kind of awkward, but possible. I haven't tried that.

Yes....you can do that (I've tested it). It...would just be really annoying to constantly do while city driving because you are constantly going in and out of AP.

Though....how does AP behave on the freeway? If I'm in AP, driving in a 80mph zone and then the speed limit changes to 65...will AP slow down on a freeway or is that only for city driving?

AP does not slow down on a freeway since Autosteer is not speed limited on a freeway. I do have the chime when exceeding my set limit enabled, so I do get a chime if I'm going too fast after a speed limit change.

haha, except model y only came out this year. This is a model y section, so like he said all model Y has hw 3

DOH! That's what happens when one has both M3 and MY - it all blends together.

But AP definitely does slow down and speed back up when on 2-lane highways with reduced speeds in the small towns it passes if you set AP to the highway speed limit. However, setting AP to that reduced speed will not increase back up to highway speed.

If the speed limit increases, its actually DANGEROUS for the car to not speed up to the current speed that all other cars will move at.

You do know you're supposed to be driving and the car is only assisting you? Therefore it is the driver that is acting in a DANGEROUS manner, not the car.
Also, if you notice that the speed limit is about to increase (you were paying attention right?) then tapping the new speed limit symbol will set the new speed - pretty trivial and hardly DANGEROUS at all

But AP definitely does slow down and speed back up when on 2-lane highways with reduced speeds in the small towns it passes if you set AP to the highway speed limit. However, setting AP to that reduced speed will not increase back up to highway speed.

That's exactly what mine does, if you start at 60 and hit a town AP will slow down with the speed limit, then speed back up again on its own.

I have a four week old MY with FSD. My software update is 2020.32.3. The interface says this is the latest but is not .36 more up to date?
If so had I download it?

Download whatever update is available to you. Tesla’s don’t work like a phone or computer where you select what updates you want. The network pushes an update and you install it. The newer version will make its way to you, they are sent in batches.

Thanks Lozzy!

The only thing decent with this update is the speed limit sign detection. Phantom braking is worse now, it speeds through curves way to fast and barely stays in the lane while doing so. 2020.36.3

 

[newtnyc]

Total failure today with speed limit recognition. It missed almost all of them.

 

[phil4791eng]

I just downloaded 36.4. I’m assuming it’s bug fixes for the previous release.

Same. Apparently 36.10 includes option to not automatically change lanes out of the passing lane

 

[phil4791eng]

Slight improvement but it still doesn’t catch all the speed limit signs.

I have a really tall speed limit sign on the interstate that my MY never sees.

 

[newtnyc]

To be clear, does the car only adjust speed limit signs in Autopilot or also when driver is in full control?

Always

 

[newtnyc]

Then it i snt working at all on mine. No adjustments for the last 3 days.

 

[PatinCT]

I agree with more phantom breaking now. It’s hard to say if mine is doing better by “seeing” speed limit sign but it definitely doesn’t recognize ramp speed limit signs here.

Just downloaded 2020.36.11 but haven’t had a chance to test it yet. Includes four new features:
1) Navigate on Autopilot - Exit Passing Lane option
2) Green Traffic Light Chime
3) Speed Assist Improvements
4) Cruise Set Speed Improvements

Installed 36.11 last night.
Big issue was that the phone key was removed. Had to setup the phone as a key again. Not difficult but somewhat of a hassle. I've gotten used to having the phone be the key.

Will test out the TACC improvements tomorrow.
