They aren’t related, but you’d definitely benefit from live traffic updates with the FSD, as with navigating any busy location yourself manually.
Not specially not work, but more so become
Inaccurate to out of date.
Okay so you look the ability to factor in traffic (and 3D VIEW of maps) then, not turn by turn navigation itself. Remaining question is if you don’t pay the $10 do the navigation maps still get updated; or is it the satellite. VIEW of maps, as well.
Map data, and this navigate on autopilot is never going to use outdated maps if you don’t pay the monthly fee?
Does traffic data also include construction data? This could be a huge difference. Rerouting for traffic (or accident) is one thing but in many places like Los Angeles it’s not uncommon for freeway on / off ramps (or even just streets) to be closed for months or even a year or more. Is this included n traffic because it should captured by Cal Trans along with traffic data? Is it captured in map updates? Or is it not captured at all?
Other traditional (non-Tesla) auto makers typically only update the base map data (not satellite or 3D) if you buy the annual $200 map data. Which you often have to pay $10-$20 month just to get say Google Earth (satellite and Street View) as well.
Fair question.
