2023 Holiday Update

[Pagemakers]

Two Phantom breakings within my first 10 miles of the motorway drive, and despite having the speed cameras in the release notes, they are certainly not showing any on the motorway.

I’ve never seen that before while driving other than when you initially do the planning. And you have to pull the route to have all three routes stay on before you select one.

The release note say you are supposed to see alternative routes, even while driving. From Manchester to Gatwick, I’m only seeing one route and I even have avoid tolls disabled.

May be do the same - pull the tab with the route and that may show all the routes - I am just guessing!

It's not active route suggestions like Google Maps where it constantly shows.

How Does It Work?​

Accessing this feature is straightforward. While driving, you can tap the map mode button (route icon) at the top right of the display or tap on the next turn indicator at the top of your turn-by-turn directions. This action will switch the map to an overview and request alternate routes from Tesla based on your current location.

The alternate routes are expected to then be displayed on the map in a similar way that they are displayed at the start of a trip. You can tap on a different route, or continue your existing one.

I’m following those instructions and there are no alternative routes either by pressing the Matt button or pulling down on the directions. I’m sure there are alternative routes between Manchester and London Gatwick.

Got 44.30.2 offered last night and people already getting .4!

Under release notes it shows the overall 30.x release notes and then 30.2 just says bug fixes.

Tesla’s routing can be a little quirky. Perhaps there are no viable alternatives at the time!

It often seems like “this a nice route. Stay on it!”

I will have to check this after I update. The nav in the cars (does this on both) is the only that If I have the nav set to go home and come back through a particular route it always want to detour me about 5 miles from a junction when my house is just half a mile if I cross the bridge... Its the only nav that does it and has done it for the past 3 years

ABRP and of course quick check on google…one using M6, M40, M25 and M23 and the other using M6, M1, M25 and M23.

I’m sure there are plenty of 6’6” with passing place roads that it will more than merrily want to route you down.

Since 44.1 my auto park no longer offers on my 3P2019. It has not returned with the holiday update.

I'd had my car less than two weeks when I was on my way home one night in a very wet storm and I came across a large tree that had blown down totally blocking a major but remote road. The road had been officially closed for a good few hours at least but Tesla was all; 'THIS IS THE BEST ROUTE' despite Google Maps when I eventually switched to that saying no way through. I could not even find a button on the Tesla Nav to say 'Avoid the next 200 metres' to help it to reroute.

After stopping to supercharge the alternate routes, whilst driving feature is now working

Never crashed into anything.

I have. a 2ft high bollard that I could see from inside the car when reversing. (Days before sensors)

For one thing I think its for spotting the things you don't see rather than assisting in the actual maneuvering.

Exactly this.

 

[WannabeOwner]

my girlfriend who hasn't driven the car yet, but we are going on a road trip around Europe next week so she will drive.

You are all heart!

 

[Drew57]

Of course. Except when your speed creeps up and you don't notice, or the speed limit flip-flops from 30 to 20 to 30 .. and so on. Far too easy to get caught out inadvertently.

I have the speed limit bongs set to chime at 3mph over (33, 43, 53 etc) & works very well in encouraging me to lift-off the accelerator when it happens. Very useful when I hadn't noticed or there are rapid changes as you mention.

I was expecting traffic lights on my maps, I see the speed cameras. Guessing they didn't get included for older cars? (Model 3 2019)

 

[Drew57]

I must be getting old.. but I still still use my wing mirrors when parking. I judge distance to front bumper and front corners with my eye balls. I only use the backup camera for judging distance to the back bumper. I’ve even turned off all the bingbong sounds. Never crashed into anything.

Why is everyone so fussed about HFPA and sensors? How are people learning to drive and park these days? If doing a parallel park, do people first start the manoeuvre by looking at the screen? Do people look at the screen half way through or at the end?(Serious question because I genuinely don’t know.)

I get the “assist” part of it (camera’s assist with judging distance, sensors warn, etc) but it sounds like people are relying solely on this feature to park?

I am old and do the same as you.

I think traffic lights are only in the US data, not UK.

Why would you want them to show on the map anyway, I can't get my head around why it would be of any use whatsoever.
