Autopilot lock out for speeding

[timpharrison]

Another annoying Autopilot update in a recent update (to add to enforced auto beams and wipers)…

I got locked out of autopilot twice on a two hour journey for exceeding the autopilot speed limit on the motorway. I think autopilot is limited to 85 which is generally fine, but occasionally I need to intervene with the accelerator when it’s taking too long to accelerate after slowing down for whatever reason. It seems the car happily accelerates beyond the limit then all hell breaks loose with beeping and warning on display before autopilot cuts out and locks out until the car is parked and started again.

I’ve been locked out for bad behaviour once previously in three years ownership, so something has definitely changed in a recent update. Perhaps Teslavision related.

Very annoying!

“Autopilot Jail” for speeding has been there for years. If you plan on accelerating above 85 MPH to pass someone, turn off Autopilot first. The only thing that has changed is the limit, which was 90 MPH with radar and is now 85 MPH with vision.

Also worth clarifying that you experienced this in Germany on an autobahn.

Isle of Man is closer and works too but you have to be a superior pilot!

Which track was this on??????

Ok thanks, makes sense that the difference is just the limit (was 90 now 85) and that the reason for the change is Teslavision.

I don’t like that they reduced the speed for the refresh model a from 90-85. Anyone have any ideas if this can be changed ?

If you pay for a blue tick on Twitter, Elon let’s you go fast in your Tesla!

In all seriousness, no you cannot change it.

…and on mine at least you don’t have to stop and turn off to get off the naughty step. Just knock it into park at the next traffic lights then back to drive. Seems to reset it and give you back AP.
