Bug in Forward Collision Warning (FCW) setting?

[rincewind]

Hi all,

I’m on 2020.32.3

Every time I set the FCW to off or Late, next time I drive the car it resets itself to Medium. I’ve tried a hard reset, didn’t help. Anyone else have this?

Maybe it is by design? You can override as a one off but then it resets, just like turning traction control off on an ICE turns back on when you get back in as a safety system. I'm not saying I agree with that or its a good idea, its just a thought that might be why.

Have you tried changing it and then manually saving the driver profile?

 

[rincewind]

Yes, I saved e driver profile manually, didn’t help. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t like this before a recent update.

I’m sure I read in the manual a while ago that it resets whenever the car is turned off. There’s a few safety things you have to disable each time you drive if you want it off.

From the manual:

‘NOTE: Your chosen setting or Forward Collision Warning is retained until you manually change it.’

Looks like a bug. Might explain the hideous number of phantoms I had on the way home yesterday.

I experienced this too. I set it to early, when I went back a few hours later to check it was showing again as medium. I toggled it again to early and it now seems to have saved

I've tried three times now to get this to save at 'early', no joy - it reverts back to medium the next time i activate the car.

It's been like this for me since at least Feb:

Forward collision warning keeps resetting to Medium

Annoying isn't it? The bloody thing bleeps at me at least once on each journey, with no good reason most of the time.

I'd love to turn all this nag mode stuff permanently off. PITA.

Second that

I managed to get it to stay on 'late' today. It seems setting it to off makes it revert to medium.

I confirm, same here.

It's frustrating, though. Forward collision warning gives an extremely ridiculous number of false positives - actually, it NEVER happened to me that it gave a real legitimate warning. It's always that the silly AI in Tesla "thinks" that it should warn the driver I'm seriously considering changing my car because it drives me nuts.

you're not going to be able to get it to stay at "off" all these safety systems have to be on by law each time you start the car. Late should be ok though.
