What does Anne Robinson drive? She'd get this sorted.Quentin Wilson has one too. If Jeremy Clarkson opts in too, sorted!
Once more with feeling: The regs are NOT from the EU. They are UN regs.Would be lovely if the government decided to see sense and make our own rules. Wasn't that what a big part of the Brexit campaign was based on? Doubt we'll see any changes though

I’ve had my Model 3 for a little while now and I’ve come to the conclusion that Enhanced Autopilot is hugely overpriced and mostly broken. It’s currently £3,400 for the following:
1.Navigate on Autopilot
This seems to be basically never available, I’ve not seen the option in any of my drives despite it being enabled
2. Auto Lane Change
This simply does work on my Tesla. I have all of the autopilot opinions enabled in the settings (none of the options mention this) and so far it’s never worked. I turn on the indicator when on autosteer and the line remains solid and nothing happens. I even setup a service request for this one but they just cancelled it with a message saying autopilot is always active so they didn’t actually read my request
3. Autopark
I’ve been offered this once in the 20+ times I’ve been in a car park so far
4. Summon
As far as I can tell this is basically crippled in the UK. You can move the car forward and backward when you’re standing right next to it but that’s it. The manual still talks about it being able to finish going into a space after you get out but the option just doesn’t exist in my menus (no option to disable continuous press)
So that’s £3,400 to be able to move the car backwards and forwards from my phone, sometimes. Am I crazy, is my Model 3 broken or is this just a monumental rip off?
I would be rich if I had £1 every time someone says ‘let’s see what it’s like in a couple of years’. With Tesla it’s always ‘in the future’. It’s nonsense. Most people on here will have changed cars by the time anything significant actually happens. Got to hand it to Tesla though for feeding this to customers with great success.
Completely agree with this. Whilst the Regulations do constrain the functionality we enjoy when compared to North America, looking back I often found my initial frustrations with the AP/FSD suite were more often due to my own misuse, or misunderstanding. I remember collecting from West Drayton back in Sept 2019 on a late, rainy, Monday afternoon, driving the 150 miles home. The cameras calibrated on that first journey, so I turned on NoA and was both amazed and stressed out in equal measure ! It really did take some time to familiarise with how and when to use it. I regularly make 200+ mile M4/M3/M25/M23 journeys from South Wales to visit family in Brighton & Hove, and also driven from South Wales to Scotland; every opportunity I'll use the NoA on motorways and, as you say, it works really well in most situations. Despite the clear focus given to the US/City Streets FSD branch, I also feel our own version has received subtle improvements this year - and hopefully this will continue.I think UNECE regulations is a bit of a red herring for many of the instances where people have issues with auto lane change functionality. Most issues seem to be either driver error or driver not understanding the operational domain. This is not blaming the driver as it often really is not clear or, as pointed out earlier wrong/confusing and tbh, Tesla's implementation is not the most forgiving in some circumstances. But understanding and a little practice really are key to the success of auto lane change as once those are understood, auto lane change is really very good in most situations.
But this is where the naysayers get it wrong, it's not about FULL self-driving. Sure that might matter to Elon for his robotaxi fleet one day, and to people with certain disabilities, but I'm not really sure if I will see it in my lifetime. What is already a benefit to me is travelling long distances in safety and comfort, offloading the tiring mundane tasks of driving to the computer. TACC, AutoSteer and Lane change are maybe half the way there today, limited L3 is being allowed by the government later this year, and I expect that within maybe 3 years that will be extended up to more realistic speeds. Other than the novelty, self driving my own car round towns is just not that beneficial, not going to change my life, when it comes I won't bother owning a car.Apparently Tesla operates to “Elon Time”, which differs from anyone else’s definition of time. Personally I think it’s a phrase used by Tesla/Elon fanboys to excuse the often disastrously wrong predictions made about product releases, especially autonomous driving. True FSD won’t be a reality anytime soon. The penny is beginning to drop with most people, who have seen through Musk’s empty promises, though there are still plenty of people who are convinced it’s just around the corner.
Phew, it's our fault. Glad that's sorted.
And some people need to realise they're posting on a regional sub section of the forum where the development and implementation of EAP is currently highly gimped. Hope this helps solve your apparent superiority complex. xxJust drove from GA to NJ again 800 + miles on EAP worked great and helped me to stay rested during long trip. Some people need to learn how to use technology before they claim it doesn’t work.
Not our problem that EU regulations suck. Don’t blame it on Tesla. My bad I didn’t see I was in different region section.And some people need to realise they're posting on a regional sub section of the forum where the development and implementation of EAP is currently highly gimped.

It's nothing to do with the EU, but thanks for stopping by.Not our problem that EU regulations suck. Don’t blame it on Tesla. My bad I didn’t see I was in different region section.
