The release notes say "... cannot be activated ...". What happens if you activate autosteer below 45 MPH, then increase TACC speed above?
Somehow I think they would have considered that loophole.

Quite simply. They won't know. there is no possible way that they could based on the information they currently have available. This guarantees that there will be false positives, which is why I won't take this update.I'm wondering how the car will know whether the road is acceptable for AutoPilot. I'm guessing major freeways and highways are geofenced?
Interested in seeing how this all plays out.
So you can still use it at or below 45 miles per hour? That would actually work fine for me. It's the stop and go grind where I'll mostly want to use it. I'm waiting to see how this shakes out before I activate the features. If 7.1 makes autopilot useless in stop and go, I'll pass.

Please make sure your feedback gets directly to Tesla.To say I'm disappointed by this turn of events would be a massive understatement. Within a few miles of me are a number of well-marked, undivided two- and four-lane Colorado and U.S. highways, some with a fifth, dedicated center turn lane, and all with posted speed limits above 45 miles per hour and as high as 65 mph. Within its well-understood limitations Autosteer works well on these roads now, and yet it seems as though the next time I accept an update I will not be able to use Autosteer on any of them. I will bitch and I will moan, and I won't stop.
In this decision we're seeing another manifestation of Tesla's California-centric thinking: many places outside the Bay Area and LA don't have divided highways every three miles in any direction. I'm a responsible adult who understands the difference between a driver assist feature and true autonomy; let me decide for myself how and when to use it.

I take it this is a direct reaction to the youtube video claiming that it was "dangerous" when used on a road without a center divider.Further down the only two other changes I found were a section about the analog clock on the instrument panel and a line added to the Autosteer section reading "Autosteer cannot be activated above 45mph on roads without a center divider or residential roads."
I used to use the general email addresses (servicehelpna was one of them) but in the last couple years that hasn't been very productive.How do we do that Brian?

Lately I email my service center and (when appropriate) ask them to pass the information up the chain.
My general point was that you want to make sure your feedback gets to teslamotors.com (not just teslamotorsclub.com). Yes, they read some threads but direct feedback is better and (sometimes) gets a direct response.
Wouldn't that require you to have that software installed first? In this case, people want to complain before they have experienced it.Isn't the "report" function of the voice commands supposed to do this?
One of the challenges is that I want people like green1 to give feedback but those kind of folks won't give feedback because they'll be avoiding the upgrade.+1
Who on earth judges the function of a device by RTFM?
Someone, please just go out for a few DRIVES.

2) F**ck Tesla.
