Hi all - would love help to get clarity on the key differences between US and EU Tesla vehicles. Especially the AutoPilot functions
As of Firmware 2019.32.11.1:
- Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) is not available in Switzerland (and most of EU?) due to regulations
- Automatic lane change is not available in Swizterland (and most of EU?). Car will never change lane on its own even if driver is signaling it with the blinker.
- Summon is not available in EU due to regulations
- G accelleration limit in curves in EU. The car will reduce speed depending on how sharp the curve is to stay under a treshold G-accelleration limit
- The Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) in Model 3 accelerates up to the speed limit if car is driving slower than speed limit. Newer Teslas cannot read speed signs and hence rely on google map data. This seems to be same for EU and US. However, the difference is in the driving conditions. In EU speed limits are highly dynamic with many signs being electronically adaptable to traffic conditions throughout the day and every construction having equally dynamic speed signs. This makes the TACC a safety hazard in Europe because the car accelerates up to whatever speed limit is stored in Google maps when TACC is engaged.
