In my experience we had two Teslas that required different amounts of torque applied to the steering wheel to stop the reminder. We had an S and an X build about one month of each other. Our X required significantly more torque to cancel the reminder and the effort was very colors to the AP disengagement effort. We complained to service and they said it was normal and said each individual car was different, I’m not sure that is really accurate. There must be some standard because torque to the wheel is also what causes the AP disengagement. I think they have a tendency to say some things are normal. In the end we accepted the added inconvenience but with the newer software nags more frequent it was more of an annoyance. I eventually started using the volume wheel one click up and one click down every 30 seconds or soJust to be clear I always have my hands on the wheel, but I believe the sensor on my car is defective. I ALWAYS get the nag, not only me but my wife and anyone who drives the car. The only way to remove it is to aggressively wiggle the sheering wheel, which often is enough to disable AP, or adjust the volume. Before v10 the nag was around once a minute, now it’s literally every 10 seconds.
Any hack to remove it? People said that an orange wedged in the steering wheel worked for the model S but not the model 3.
