Thanks Legoman, that's another interesting example of what this tech can do. I'll be avoiding AP in school zones for sure!

For me, Always Connected is ALWAYS checked as it's the only way to have a somewhat responsive Tesla App/Remote S. I am very seldom in my MS from say 7PM-6AM, so most of the time the pop-ups appear during the morning & early afternoon -- well outside the "auto sleep period", my scheduled charging (which begins at 12AM), etc.

Always Connwcted checked. Schedule varies widely daily, but rarely am I in the car past 10 pm. I work 10 am - 6 pm and figure the commute around that, it usually is sitting in the garage by 8.

Ingineer on my S85D I have to take the nose cone off to get to the 12V battery terminals if i want to connect a charger. What have you done so that you can connect the 12V charger so you do not need to take the nose cone off every time? I have thought about bringing some terminals into the frunk to make it easier to connect the charger.
There are at least two ways:
1- a fused, dedicated connector like this one for a Ctek trickle charger
2- make your cigarette lighter socket connect permanently to 12V by bridging a relay in the fuse box and connect the trickle charger to the cigarette lighter socket.
I suggested method 1- to @Ingineer, who used method 2- at that point in time.

I didn't know C-Tek made such a cool little jack panel. I just used their ring terminal pigtail that comes with the charger to permanently attach to the battery and routed the pigtail into the frunk. No pictures right now, but I'm travelling.
Paul, where did you install that jack? I can't tell from the pictures, is that just under the nosecone?
BTW, the C-tek chargers are excellent, this is the one I use to keep my S topped off when not in use: http://amzn.to/2cDhONa

That is cool. I used a C-tek charger just like that to keep my Delorean and my BMW Z4 batteries alive during the winter.
Sold them both to buy the Model S, so the charger went to the Z4 buyer from Canada, so boy oh boy, did he need a winter trickle charger.

I bought the same charger months ago when there was a thread about charging the batteries and someone recommended this. I haven't used it for the Tesla but now use it for my other car that's garaged and a PU truck that gets like 100mi/yr usage.

I use the CTEK adapter for the 12V accessory plug ... simple and convenient.
Also used ingineer's hack to provide constant 12V power to the interior plug

In my experience they don't need to be "oddly" labeled in the slightest. It routinely misreads the most ordinary, rectangular, white
route number signs. It doesn't always do this, by any means, and I haven't been able to discern a pattern as to what fools it.

Yep, this speed limit was picked up from the overhead freeway signs for ~10 mile stretch before it was replaced with 55.
Good thing AP doesn't auto-resume to the speed limit versus the set speed.

+1 for this issue occurring in my S P90D 2.28.19. My route home has a "County 25" highway sign that resets the AP speed limit setting to 25 MPH (rapidly reduces speed from 60 MPH to 30 MPH). Interestingly, this occurs about 50% of the time. Glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with this, but would like to see a fix happen since it can be quite jarring.Yep, this speed limit was picked up from the overhead freeway signs for ~10 mile stretch before it was replaced with 55.

I have a rental Austrian 70D with software 2.34.115
Every time I initiate a lane change while driving in Autopilot mode it asks me to touch the steering wheel first. Is this a European thing or a change in the latest software?

I recall it was a European regulation that required hands on the steering wheel. I believe it's the same in Australia, but not sure...

But if TACC is not enable, pulling the stick (or double-pull for Auto-steer) will set the speed to the wrong one... I really think that pulling the stick should activate TACC at the current speed instead of the posting speed, security wise!
