@Gizmo35 There's two ways to approach this. Either you require confirmation, betting that the car will mostly make bad choices. Or you turn off confirmation and bet on the car making more good choices. My experience favors the latter. If it's starting a sub-optimal move, I can tap the turn signal and cancel. And besides, who cares? I've recently started taking my wife's advice: don't bother Nicki, just let it do what s/he wants. About 90% of the time it chooses just fine. I pity the EU drivers who don't have the no-confirmation option.
Two other cute settings. "Leave Passing Lane" and "Use HOV lanes".
I turned off the
courteous Leave Passing Lane (that's essential in Europe) because it wasn't worth the see-saw on California freeways, where a leftmost "passing lane" is a myth - people deep dive and pass wherever they can, and there's always a dork in a Prius going the speed limit in the left lane.
Use HOV Lanes is a challenge, because you have to turn it on/off on the screen I think.
Anybody got voice command to do it? The problem is that HOV sometimes requires 2 in the car, sometimes 3, and sometimes who the hell knows what all that illuminated HOV FASTTRACK FREE TOLL $1.00 signage means.
So if you are 2 in the car, you're tooling along at 80MPH in the HOV, when suddenly you realize it now requires 3 people, and threatens a $471 fine. So you request a lane change and the car gets out as soon as the solid lines break. Whew! But then it's only pretending to be happy. It's lying in wait for a chance to get back in the faster HOV and you have to keep tapping "no! NO!", until you can get to the right screen page and turn off "Use HOV Lanes". I NEED that 2nd occupant, like my wife, to do it, 'cause I find it VERY hard to get to it and tap, while fighting Nicki who's accelerating and going for the HOV lane with a vengeance again! Nicki's quite good at self-preservation, but doesn't care about no stinkin' $471 fine. I suspect the boys at Tesla love to turn on the inside camera and ROFL at those interactions.
Anybody got a voice command to turn it on and off?
