Well, that's all very interesting, because I thought I read somewhere that the nominal settings were in half-second increments, so that "1" is half a second, and "7" would be 3 and a half seconds. If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any change from prior versions, unless they changed the increment to like 0.4 secs per nominal unit.
Model 3 owners manual said:choose a setting from 1 (the closest following distance) to 7 (the longest following distance). Each setting corresponds to a time based distance that represents how long it takes for Model 3, from its current location, to reach the location of the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead of you.
Maybe they can make it go to 11. Just add one more.I don't see why they can't add a wider range and give people more options? Make 1 more aggressive and and add 10 for some of you granny drivers out there
But seriously, I recall Elon talking about potentially adding a "LA Traffic Mode". I think he understands that Autopilot is too conservative in certain situations.
I don’t get itMaybe they can make it go to 11. Just add one more.
See what I did there.
Thanks. I always wondered what the numbers meant. Is it possible they increased the time?What the manual actually says
So it does represent time, but does not state what amount of time.
yes, I thought about that and would also like to see that. Maybe it is just me, but when I set the distance to be far behind the car in front at freeway speeds, it seems to also keep a long distance at slow stop and go speeds which is not preferable for me and other drivers behind me.I think Tesla should allow for a closer follow distance for stop and go traffic at least. Maybe when traveling 25mph or less? Again, it's not about getting somewhere faster or whatever. It has to do more with driving etiquette.
Yea it would be great if AP could adjust the distance base on the speed of your car.yes, I thought about that and would also like to see that.

You are correct. Sorry, maybe I should word it differently. I just wish AP would let you adjust the number setting based on the speed of your car. For example if you were going 65 it would set it to 3, if you were going 35 it would adjust it to 2, anything below 15 would be a 1. But I'm not sure how that would work or if it even makes sense to anyone besides me?It does; the setting is an indeterminate amount of time-separation from the object before you. At higher speeds, the distance thereby increases.
No, not just you; though I more simply wished for separate highway and surface street follow distance settings rather than contemplating making it dynamic based on velocity.
Let him liveYou realize you're explicitly not supposed to use it at all on city streets, right?
