It may as well not have one. No audible alerts and very brief flashing from the sensors on the main screen.Guys,
My car is scheduled to be delivered next week. One thing I did not notice on my test drive was a blind spot monitoring system. Does the Performance Model 3 have BSM? If so, how does it work. I didn't notice any lights in the mirrors, etc.

But who needs blind spot monitoring when tHe CaR DriVeS ItSelFIt may as well not have one. No audible alerts and very brief flashing from the sensors on the main screen.
Tesla has worst-in-class blind spot monitoring by a wide margin.
Unsure if the car with try to autosteer to avoid collision.
Yeah and it seems to be by choice. They have all the hardware available to make it great (like adding audible alerts, or even showing the camera view on the side when using the turn signal like some cars do), but they just don't do it for some reason.It may as well not have one.

Yeah but you are missing the point... the car can fart!
It will definitely auto steer to avoid contact. When my car was still on its factory delivery firmware, I had several false positive "Potential Collision Detected. Corrective steering has been applied" warnings, as well as a few lane departure corrective steering events. The lane departure corrective steering events would happen when lanes would merge with poor lane markings. It was bad enough that I turned off lane departure. The Potential Collision warnings had no rhyme or reason; every time they happened, there wasn't a car even close to us.Unsure if the car with try to autosteer to avoid collision.
The rendered car in the FSD visualization will flash red. It’ll also beep at you if collision is imminent. Unsure if the car with try to autosteer to avoid collision. Conceivably you could leave the cameras on the screen and take a quick look before changing lanes. Yea, none of these are ideal solutions. Tesla just wants you to buy FSD and trust it.
I'd love to have the car give a gentle tone when someone's in my blind spot when I turn on the signals. Right now you need to make a move into the other lane and almost crash before the car would make a sound and/or nudge the steering wheel.
The Tesla system is absolute crap compared to all others, PLUS it requires that you use the turn signals
To clarify, there is BSM, just that the UI is not particularly good as it only shows lines in the visualization.Wow....I just assumed that it would have BSM AND rear cross traffic alert. I was under the impression it was the most technologically-advanced thing on the road.
As discussed above, for BSM, Tesla can do better if they choose, however at the moment they don't for whatever reason.I mean...my bad for nor asking, but why?

That is not blind spot monitoring. That is collision avoidance.It most certainly does have audible alerts for BSM. It just doesn’t have a audible pre-BSM-warning. Which most car have. Where it beeps if there is a car in your blind spot and the blinker is on. On Tesla’s you have to start moving toward the car in your Blind Spot before it beeps or tries to correct for it.
