Car location on Map is off by few meters

Have you been into service mode and checked for any faults?
Is the car showing off when you check its location in the app?
I assume you tried the trusty 2 button reboot?

Tesla estimate of its position without GPS is pretty poor. Driving in 6 km tunnel with my previous 2008 ICE car (Škoda==Volkswagen) was off by about 30 meters. Tesla is off by about 100 meters. Sure its gets in sync once one gets out of the tunnel but still.
It is probably unrelated to the OP but being discussed in this thread.

I noticed this sort of unusual GPS lock drift with a short-lived software update from Tesla a while back. Suspect it’s not signal related but processing side.
It may clear itself after car powers off fully and network stack has a chance to reset or after next firmware release.

That could be a mapping issue. I had to get google to update their map to have the correct house numbers in our street.
I had this issue after the update that enabled the cabin camera. It took 3 service visits, but they eventually resolved it.
First they replaced the GPS antenna, then the cabin camera, then the wiring harness for the camera.
The root problem was with the hardware (inadequate EMI shielding in the camera wiring), but the issue was only uncovered by the software update that enabled the camera.
If you're still under warranty, I'd ask service to resolve it.

Just enjoy the GPS antennas while you have them guys. They'll soon be replaced by Tesla Vision to determine your position on the globe, saving £14.56 production costs per vehicle. They are already training the AI using geo guesser videos...
Clear the current Home setting (hold on the icon and delete, I believe), then you can set a new Home location from a pin; locate your home on the map, press and hold and it will give you the option to save as a Favourite, or Home. Think that's correct, I just did it recently.
Really though, the car could fetch its GPS data from your phone. Don't give Elon any ideas.
One thing about setting your home accurately, and maybe more an issue when your housekey and car key were on the same key fob, somebody steals your keys the car will direct them to your house which they can then get into. Less of an issue probably (unless they stole your phone) but a thought. Postcode is near enough for me personally although I might try the current location trick just to see if it works
Well, had a drive today, and o parts of M42 I am lik b10-20 meters away from the road!
I pics yo the speed limit of the small lane which goes parallel to m42 and slams brakes as speed limit is suddenly 60.
On other parts of the motorway, it is OK...
But now my car is parked on the roof of my neighbors house.. never ever had this...
Was there a recent map update??
Or how to report it!?
