FINALLY! Way Points Coming!

I am at 36k. Makes sense to me to slow down charging when you batteries have been used for so many miles. I guess I will never know bc I have never been to such a high mileage on any of my cars. I sell them as soon as warranty is over.

WTF?!?!! You think 117k miles is high? High miles are a badge of honor, it shows you know how to properly maintain your vehicle and aren't some simp to the banks by pissing away your money every couple of years. I don't think I've ever sold a car that had less than 100k on it.
And no even for a Tesla that's not even remotely high, when there are cars out there killing it with 250k or more miles.
I couldn't tell from the way he responded if he was joking and they had been in the works, or if this was him relenting. I like the guy's sense of humor...but sometimes can't tell if he's joking or not.

To me waypoints are essential in an EV because you always need to have enough of a charge to make it to some destination with a little buffer to spare. In a gas car waypoints are nice, but you're typically not concerned about running out of gas because in most cases there will be numerous gas stations along the way.
I doubt the average driver does much planning at all for most journeys, and instead relies on the navigation tools. All modern navigation tools that I'm aware of have waypoints. So the lack of waypoints is a serious omission especially on an EV.
An example usage:
On memorial day weekend I was checking out some properties on the Oregon coast, and I took for granted that I could charge at the Lincoln Supercharger. But, before I got there the navigation said it was really busy so I opted to charge on the way back up. So I entered in my farthest destination to see what buffer I'd have when I got back to where I was (close to the supercharger). The buffer was above my threshold so I skipped the supercharger. It would have been super handy to have entered in the addresses of all the properties I was looking at to keep track of the how much I'd have when I was back at Lincoln city.
I want them too but good luck...Elon has two sides to his mouth
Not sure if I'm the only one picturing a tesla software meeting with a bunch of people all agreeing that no one would ever navigate to a location that doesn't have a charger

I'm sure it's coming alongside the control of the auto-dimming mirrors he promised oh... over a year ago now I think?

Like FSD which will drive you while you sleep on the back seat, 691hp "passing speeds power OTA update" promised for P85D's, SDK for 3rd party apps, summon which will find you anywhere on private property promised by Elon at AP1/dual-motor launch, Model S phone as key, seat/mirror position profiles stored in the cloud so you can reuse them in any of your Tesla, synchronized power balancing wall chargers to charge more than one Tesla in the same garage, etc. - all these things are coming, some day, and perhaps not to your car (unless you upgrade).
Newbies who don't speak Elon get their hopes up a lot.
According to a new article on Teslarati today, waypoints are definitely coming - but being Tesla they can't be called waypoints, they will be called "add stops"

Ugh, I was hoping I'd be able to use waypoints to get around navigation planner mistakes when using FSD Beta.According to a new article on Teslarati today, waypoints are definitely coming - but being Tesla they can't be called waypoints, they will be called "add stops"

The key to that is being able to save a route, but it doesn't look like this will do that.
Instead this is more narrowly focused at simply allowing a person to add stops which is cool. It will be helpful for when I have multiple stops and then I want to charge.
FINALLY, THEY'RE HERE!!!!
Just got V11 and it has waypoints!! For whatever reason, Elon had something against adding them. He apparently promised them previously. I first heard of it at one of the Tesla reveals where he was pressured on it, hence my original post above. 6+ months later, we finally have them. So nice. I've hated having to enter in 10 different destinations all the time, then manually go back to them on my trip. Now, can finally do them all at once and not have to reselect the next destination at each stop. No idea why Elon hates them so much, but glad he finally caved and gave them to use. Such a usable feature!
