Green Light Detection - Too Fast!

[Gsxr150]

Happy Monday, guys! Has anyone else been using the "green light detection" beta feature? I like it, but it audibly "dings" far too quickly - almost instantly when the lights turn green. Come on Tesla, give us a second to two at least, haha.

In all seriousness, what's the best way to quickly share feedback like this with Tesla? Great feature, but it should be used more if you're not paying attention for a second or two.

There's no feedback portals with tesla currently, unless you want to go to the chat on their support page and deal with the wait.

And you're the first person I've heard complain about it beeping too soon. It's usually the opposite.

 

[Carolina Karl]

I respectfully disagree with the OP.

I like how immediate it is. It keeps the guy behind me from hitting his horn. It reassures me of how nearly instantaneous the Tesla response system is and how it will be there in a split second when circumstances warrant.

If anything I'm slightly disappointed that I can react faster than the car right now

In the bigger picture, I hope Tesla is at least thinking about how to let drivers program in their driving style and preferences. The Apple approach to just dictating one way to do it doesn't translate well to FSD, especially when it comes to aspects of defensive driving. There's currently no sign that Tesla will let drivers enter their preferences, nor automatically learn from your driving style.

Haha, maybe I need more coffee! In all seriousness it's still new to me, so maybe I'm just pokey. I would like the option of setting up a time delay of 1-2 seconds. That way it's only there in case I'm not paying attention.

maybe the ding sound should be more of a dong sound?

OOH how about a gong sound for OP! We got joe mode, we should get Gsxr150 mode

I need that sound for when I enter the gym! Ha, ya, GSRX150 mode (I have to finish my text mode). Teasing...

Any longer and the person behind you will be honking. I really hear mine since if I'm first I'm itching to go.

I'm guessing you've never driven in south Florida. We drove from Miami to Marathon (and back) a couple years ago and found that we had less than a second after the light turned green before the cars behind us would start honking.

Troubleshooting problems with a fleet that has a million different cars that all learned to drive differently would be an insane nightmare- that's just not going to happen.

Eventually we might see a few specific settings similar to the ones we have for NoA right now ie mad max and such, but that's about it.

The feature is designed to notify 'when' the light turns green (hence "green light detection"), not to let us know we didn't react to it turning green. Meaning, I think it's a feature ask/tweak vs bug. IOW, it is not a "go now" beep. I assume that's known here, just mentioning.

 

[Kevin-rf]

It should really wait until the intersection is clear before dinging... At least in MA, I can't tell you the number of cars that have come barreling through long after the light has changed. The chime means check both ways before gunning it.

Need Tesla's with Frick'n LASER'S for the redlight runners.

Are you saying that a software company that can't get

Even though Tesla can't get the software for their wipers to work correctly, nor anything else software controlled, I still believe they can do it!

how is that different from SEEING a light turn green and deciding not to go because you know there are likely ppl running the red?

This is how physicists discovered Planck Time. True story!

 

[Nostromo]

I have to agree with OP on this one. I found myself deliberately creeping before the light turned green just to avoid the warning chime, so I just turned it off because that's a bad habit.

I'd be happy even with 1 second which if I'm watching the light I can easily beat. Even 2 seconds would avoid irritating the person behind me. If someone behind me honks in less than 2 seconds after the light turns green, I will probably stay on the brake for at least 2 more because their honking irritates me.

 

[Twiglett]

kinda defeats the purpose of an audible green light indicator if it has a built in delay.
If you want to wait then don't use the alert, just wait for the horns from the cars behind you

 

[DopeGhoti]

My car gives about a half-second between the light changing and the 'bing'. This is plenty of time for impatient folks.

As an aside, I've seen enough people running red lights that my general personal policy of "never be the first one into an intersection" serves me well (so long as I am not the only car present).

I like that it dings quickly.

Although it sounds like an elevator chime when i reach a certain floor.
