Is there a setting for speed camera and red light camera alerts?

[Zap!]

2024 Tesla Model 3 new owner here. I'd like the car to beep or say "speed camera ahead/red light camera ahead" when I'm approaching them, because right now it doesn't. Is there a setting that I'm missing? If not, at the very least, is one planned in a future update? Or am I just too used to Waze?

Does this feature require premimum connectivity?

I don't see the option. I have premium connectivity free for a month. Does the option kick in when I subscribe?

What version do you have on your car? I think this is a new feature in the Spring update, 2024.14 and newer.

Took this pic the other day. Is there a later version? It says up to date.

Yeah, there is a newer update, but it isn't available due all vehicles. If you have FSD you might be held back so you get FSD V12.4. (FSD owners are often months behind on feature updates.)

For what its worth, I have a 2023 Model 3, RWD and received the 2024.14.8 3 days ago.
It also came with the speed camera chime.

You have to be navigating to a destination.

Eww. Are there plans on changing this to speed camera warnings always?

Doubtful. I think the camera locations are download as part of the trip/navigation planning. (I don't have the new version that as the chime feature so I don't know if they changed it not be part of the navigation system.)

Seems like it would need a destination, otherwise how would it know what path to warn you about?

How does Waze and others handle this?

Even when I'm not in navigating to a destination, Waze will always alert. It says "speed camera ahead" or "red light camera ahead" and shows where it is on the map.

What if the speed camera is to the right on an upcoming intersection and you plan to turn right. How does Waze know when to warn you since it doesn't know you're turning?

The closest one to a corner that I know of here on Staten Island is about 100 feet from the intersection. So if I were to turn on it with Waze, it would immediately say "speed camera ahead" after the turn. But let's say it was directly after the turn:

1) On Waze, the radius circle would still be there, so even if it was silent I would likely still see it. Even if Tesla doesn't want to give us voice alerts, I see no reason why they can't have the red dot appear on the map (like they do in navigation).

2) We all (I hope) slow down around corners when making a turn, so it's extremely unlikely that a ticket would happen. Here in SI, it triggers if you do 10 mph over the limit. So if the speed limit is 30, you would have to do 40 around the corner to trigger it.

It doesn't. I have a radar detector with red light and speed camera warnings. As you approach an intersection with the camera it alerts you even it there isn't one in my direction. I get alerts all the time on the highway because there's a camera on the service road next to it.

Okay, that makes sense. And it still provides protection against the cameras, albeit with some false positives.
