If you purchase the Stats for Tesla app, it will automatically set Sentry Mode after you leave your car. For the areas you park in that don't require Sentry Mode, you can indicate the location as a "Safe" place, like your garage and it won't engage Sentry Mode. Great feature IMO.

I know this will not be a popular comment and I am not picking on you specifically, but what you experienced is the way all of us should be driving. If you don't, you are just contributing to the problem us safer drivers experience. Eventually, we all learn that constant lange-changin g and speeding while in traffic doesn't get you to your location "significantly" faster, so why bother.

NoA I believe has always had this functionality, even when confirmation is/was necessary.
Autosteer on Autopilot generally I have not seen it ever be able to cross solid white lines, though I would be happy if it did now
The other behavior I believe new to 8.5 is stopping the indicator flashing after lane change is complete. It used to stay in for 3 flashes (and tick noises) after the change was complete. Now it’s zero extra afaict

8.5 NoA - one potential issue - so it does seem that the car waits for < 0.5 miles to the exit and wants to change 5 lanes of traffic from carpool to the exit. That's one issue but potentially one I can live with it.
What happened today is a possible show stopper: It tried to move from the carpool (#1 lane) into the #2 lane while simulatenously a car from the #3 lane was merging at that precise moment into the #2 lane. I aborted it just as it started to merge, but would it have aborted the lane change???....I don't know but didn't wait to find out.
This type of thing is tough for human drivers, but points out the need for still looking over the shoulder when using NoA.....
Has anyone else seen this? Maybe safer would be if the algorithm could AVOID merging when there's a car right across two lanes either way. That's generally how I do it myself, in case of this very same issue.

I have had a dozen situations now for redlight detection to work and all have been the same. Nothing. I’m thinking this is a FSD only feature.
No, i have FSD and it doesn't work here. Is there anyone on here not running hacked software that has a functional red light detector?

I was in this situation and my car did abort.
good to know. I think even better is if the car can avoid changing lanes into a lane where there's another car right adjacent literally parallel (better slightly offset so one driver can see another).
I've seen people refer to chatting with Tesla through the website and I don't see any option for it either. Nothing under the main contact page or anything in the personal Tesla account page. If you go to support and search "chat" there are 87 page results that say "Have a question? Start Chat." However, click on any of them, can you don't get the same page whose results are cached in their search engine.
I've tried during business hours on multiple days over the past few weeks to find it, and it's just not there for me. It's probably some kind of A/B testing and you get put in the "chat available group" if your profile meets some kind of selection criteria.
Just got 8.5 Friday, but already noticed a new phantom braking situation (Model S).
As I pass a car in the next lane under AP, the car will suddenly brake for a moment and hesitate.
Never happened to me before, but now have experienced 4 times since Friday and its definitely related to passing a car in the next lane. Becoming a serious deterrent to using AP.

New M3S+ picked it up Saturday 30 March, now with 348 miles and currently located in San Diego. I am currently updating right now. Left the WiFi connected as mentioned on other threads and I saw the message on the App just now that said new update available, the time it stated was 45 minutes to install. So it’s Midnight now, 12:45am will check.

Same here. Also had a situation a couple nights ago where EAP was changing lanes and I saw in my rear view a motorcycle gunning it in the lane I was moving to going probably at leas 20-30mph faster than surrounding traffic. I was about to abort to let the maniac go by when AP did it for me and then completed the lane change after the bike had passed. Pretty impressive.
