I guess I just don't understand this one, I've never seen the steering nag, I keep both hands on the wheel with a little downward pressure from one hand and all is good.

Me too, but I drive with one hand on the wheel at 4 O'Clock, to provide rotational torque. Might be a sensor issue
I don't usually get any nag, it's the slight rotational movement that does the trick, not how firmly you hold the wheel.
With the blank back camera, do you mean when reversing or when driving there's no car graphic behind you? If it's the latter that's very common.
I always get the nag if I hold the wheel with both hands. I never get the nag if I hold it as you do - one hand about 4 o'clock with a bit of weight on it to provide the torque needed to trip the sensor.
(I rarely get the nag if I hold it one-handed at 4 o'clock but support the weight on the armrest too much....)
I note that in the US it's possible to remove the nag by wiggling the volume dial or otherwise interacting with the steering wheel controls.... I've never had success with that here in the UK though.
Yes it's the latter so I'm glad in a way that it's a common issue. Thanks!
Here is another interesting video regarding the new AP and seems like another unhappy Tesla owner:
Like most, glad to see us getting Nav AP. However these lane change limitations are flakey and seem very dangerous. My car has repeatedly abandoned lane changes mid way and then swerved back into the original lane as someone else was looking to occupy the space I was vacating.
I'm a massive fan of the innovative approach of Tesla, I accept a lot of the rough around the edges stuff, but this update is not safe in my opinion.
I've also had the swerving off to take a junction at 75mph with little to no indication. Not ready for prime time and needed beta testing in the UK.
The devil's in the detail... I think the notes page on the update does state it is in beta.
I'm not familiar with Tesla data collection, but I presume that all driving data is sent back to Tesla HQ for processing to make the next iteration better?

Just received 2019.16.3
Looks just like bug fix and haven’t driven yet but about to head on an 80 mile trip so.......... I wonder?

Seems to me this is a combination of a set of nannying EU-specific laws (I normally like all this EU biz btw) directly conflicting with allowing the autopilot system to function as it should - IE restricting steering wheel movement, essentially handcuffing the system from manoeuvring cordially - so it abandons movements when it realises it can't complete promptly, or runs wide on corners and applies braking to tighten a radius rather than more lock on the wheel.
This is obviously disappointing and ridiculous for a big list of reasons. Hopefully Tesla can continue to dodge and jump through the necessary hoops to stay one step ahead of foggy, behind the times, stifling legislation with a subsequent update.

Just did 82 miles after downloading 16.3.
On 16.2 if I had no hands on wheel I got the message after 12 seconds consistently .Today,with update, it was 15 seconds and with one hand on wheel I had zero nags for 70 miles on the motorway.Also when initiating AP it no longer seemed to pull you into centre of Lane but moved a little smoother.

Just downloaded 2019.16.3.2 this morning....after 2 hour drive noticed no difference.
Since picking up the car On March 28 done 7000 odd miles and it seems to feel better each day...Early days I know and realise some issues but it is quite a vehicle.

I charged up there, this afternoon! You are correct. Very nice place for superchargers!
