As a slow driver (but not as slow as some of the reports on V12.x.x!) I'm now terribly confused about speed settings. As well, what changes have been made to vehicles when only AP, or only TACC is engaged.
Is there an authoritative site that breaks it down in clear English?
Yesterday there were dozens of post arguing if/how speed offset changes the car's behaviour with regards to speed or if it just sets when the alarm is going to go off if you have that feature set.
Then last night was this both very helpful but also confusing post (the green text is my highlighting.)
All relative to detected limit:
Chill: +5%
Average: +10%
Assertive: +15%
Actually kind of convenient, assuming it gets to speed (because it is v11 it does as long as detected speed is correct - something v12 does not do). We do NOT want v12 on the highways, folks - it would be a huge disaster with respect to speed targets (people are extremely picky about that). Have to fix that problem first.
In manual mode in general it should just respect your own chosen offset, with v11 active, when using FSDS v12.
In both cases, the target or proposed target is visible since v11 is in operation.
V12 offset with ASSO mode is +50% (invisible).
In all cases this limit is honored as a cap on speed.
The last line is unclear as to whether "this limit" refers to a speed offset I set (either as a percentage in the disputed setting, or in selecting Chill/Average/Assertive, still unclear on that) or whether it is referring to the V12 ASSO invisible offsets. Does the "chosen offset" refer to the percentage setting or the chill/average/assertive setting?
This is why I'm hoping someone has a site to point me to. I'm finding gathering all these moving parts from the posts in this (and other) threads too complicated. The moving parts are
Version of the FW
Version of V12
HW 3 or 4
Then settings:
Chill/Average/Assertive
Speed offset setting
ASSO on or off
And I might be missing other settings as well.
Normally, I'd just say eff this and add it as another effin reason to hate my tesla but once the update happens tomorrow (no control over that, tesla is doing it for me), then I will be dealing with new speed behaviour both in FSD and, according to some posts, AP. As I do use my TACC extensively specifically to keep me from speeding when speed cameras can ticket me, I need to fully understand how tesla has changed the control the owner has over the cruise control setting and how much the car is overriding my selections/settings. Is it only allowing me the choice to drive the car without TACC engaged, or drive the car with tesla deciding what speed I should be driving, not how I set the car when I engaged TACC?
