One possible conclusion was that the manual misstated the feature, and that it's only available with FSD.
My car is on the EAP demo, and that doesn't work either. OR, put another way, initiating a manual lane change doesn't work well, at all:
1. Hold down stalk
2. Takes a few seconds before computer confirms possible lane change (draws white box on blue lane)
3. Nudge the steering wheel just perfectly right to start the change -- if too light, it does nothing; if too heavy, it breaks out of the entire EAP!!!! <--- frustrating!!!
4. Maintain stalk held for duration of change. If not, car will violently swerve back to original lane <--- frustrating!!! when performing car-initiated change, this is not required
And at the same time, the change speed and movement isn't really quick or natural regardless of any of the 3 change urgency settings. In even medium traffic, youre kinda anxious at how the car might be disruptive to other drivers. And on the autobahn where i tested it, where cars can be going +25%, +50%, +75% speed on the passing lane, it is a complete non-starter.
