Elon tweets "no waypoints", "car will autonavigate to your destination."

[cucubits]

For short trips of less than 100 miles, you do not need waypoints

If you have a busy day in a large city and want to have the convenience of the car having your route ready with all the stops you need, waypoints would absolutely help.

Until then, we'll keep playing with our phones... sadly.

Elon caved. Waypoints are coming!

2004 Prius you could set a memory point so that when you approached it from a certain direction it would give you a warning chime: worked great for setting warning alarms for known speed traps.

I can't find anything to have this functionality since then.

Off-topic: Mind blown. I drove a 2005 Prius for 10 years and never knew about this.

Or better yet, what if I want to go out of my way to a destination charger to see what's around there? Or maybe I know where i want to go for an interim stop but I want to keep the final destination online so I can gauge my arrival time properly with the detour? So many uses for waypoints.

Also when the Navigator recommends a different Supercharger than the one you want to stop at....

Also when the Navigator recommends a different Supercharger than the one you want to stop at....

For example: on the 710 mile trip from the Chicago 'burbs to the Atlanta 'burbs, the Navigator wants us to charge in
- Zionsville, IN
- Bowling Green, KY
- Manchester, TN

Except that the first stop is a forecast 55 minute charge followed by a 253 mile leg, which tells me it wants us to charge to 100%, and probably also drive at, or below, the speed limit on that leg.

Better to break that awful leg with a top-up at one of the two Supercharger locations in Louisville, KY and therefore a short charge in both Zionsville and Louisville.

Being able to set a waypoint at one of the Louisville Superchargers would fix this.

I wouldn't mind a reasonable suggestion, but it's crazy when it suggests a charger **behind** you.

5 bucks says at least the initial releases don't bother handling the travelling salesman problem, so it'll still be a while before Tesla nav catches up to Garmin circa 2004.

Via @verygreen from Twitter, looks like Tesla is working on waypoint navigation.

He needs to charge his car.

They've been "working" on it for years now.

Mind you other GPS has had this for decades... but then everything is a trade-off... Garmin is way behind in fart simulation technology.

 

[qdeathstar]

I feel like i get more use out of the fart effects than i would waypoints.

 

[ChimpledPot]

It would be nice to at least be able to specify a "Depart From" and "Destination" location, so we could get a battery usage estimate for a non-direct route.

You would have a better time using ABRP for this

I’d settle for some phone numbers favorites...‍

Because it really isn’t useful?

Waze just allows one intermediate stop. Adding just that capability to the on-board Navigator would really, really help.

Is Garmin's stock at 3 million dollars a share? There's your answer on where priorities should be....

Go home Tesla NAV, you're drunk again.

I suspect the traveling salesperson market has shrunk a lot since 2004.

Just one waypoint covers a lot of use cases, including "Where are we going to eat?"

That's still one more than the system allows though because it's a nav system from 1993.

You misunderstand the point of the salesman feature too.

I need to go to say a grocery store, pharmacy, and a hardware store. Travelling salesman problem solves for the best route to do that.

It's not necessarily daily useful, but it's pretty useful occasionally and it's a 20 year old solved problem and is trivial to support on modern compute.
