Bluetooth GPS beacons

Does Tesla currently support/plan to support this technology?

Sydney joins Brisbane in adding GPS support beacons to tunnels | CarAdvice

Not sure but if you want to have fun with the Tesla, put your car on a ferry with a closed roof, eg Sorrento to Queenscliff in Vic and see the GPS lose itself.

On the other side I ended up doing the full reset (brake & steering buttons) and just leaving the car for about 10 mins for it to stop thinking we're driving in water.

Anyone tried it in the tunnels mentioned?

In other tunnels the car tracks itself pretty well using distance, but given the map is based on Google Maps it could well work with Beacons

I travel from the Gold Coast to Aspley and back using the tunnels mentioned for family visits and the car tracks very well. No major issues.

Am I wrong in thinking having GPS beacons in the tunnels might reduce the confusion of tunnel speed limits with often much slower surface speed limits?

Think reading the speed signs will make a bigger difference.

When I first got my M3 I was able to Navigate on Autopilot through all Brisbane tunnels. A software update a few months later put an end to that. I wonder if the bluetooth beacons were supported we could get this functionallity back. Does anyone know why tunnels are not supported when using NOP?
