You may want to try the 17 again...
Thanks, I will try it again.
I find that the Tesla drives curves quite differently than I do. I tend to drive a larger radius line by starting wide and beginning to turn a bit early, getting near the inside at the middle of the turn and drifting back wide as the turn ends, using the excess width of the lane. Lower horizontal Gs that way and gentler start and end of the turn. (I learned this technique from my high school physics teacher, Frank Schiavo, who was also a hobbyist race car driver. He told about getting caught once by CHP for using both lanes for the curves of Hwy 17 late one night. The only other traffic was the cop, oops. He explained to the judge that, given the lack of traffic, the way he was driving was the safest way, in fact the exact opposite of reckless. Charges were dismissed. This was long, long ago, and there were actually times with little traffic on 17, and no divider barrier, so head-on's were all too common when folks hit the turns too fast.) (WGHS 1969, Go Rams!)
Anyway, the Tesla seems to try to stay in the center of the lane the whole time through a turn, but it is a fraction of a second behind. It creeps me out when it doesn't start the turn as soon as I would, making me fear it is not going to stay within it's lane. It starts to turn late, turns harder, and then ends late. When it does slow down, it waits till well into the turn instead of anticipating. On a real twisty road it gets so far behind in wind up well across the centerline. It does OK only at a speed far below what humans drive.
On 17, though, the turns are not so tight. So maybe I just need to slow it down, relax and accept it as a different style of driving.
Thanks for your feedback.
