Nag?

[Peace1946]

I’ve had my Y since Thanksgiving. Still trying to learn the ropes.

I’ve tried a few techniques to deal with the nag, especially in city traffic situations. Ranging from waiting for the nag to appear and applying slight turning pressure (too sporadic timing causing extra stress). Bumping the right scroll wheel to relieve the nag (causes the set speed to alter with each bump). And the latest and preferred so far, just keeping constant slight pressure on the wheel.

Are there other techniques in use I should consider?

The nag is annoying. Sometimes, it doesn’t like my hand on the wheel input so i have to knock it off autopilot and then re-engage. I timed it, on the freeway the blue sky nag goes off every 22 seconds.

When you are jamming out to tunes occasionally apply pressure to the wheel. My commute is approximately 1hr and I can get through it with near zero nags

But after a while, its not happy with the same amount of pressure so I have to give it a little yank. Half the time it does the trick, otherwise it disengages autopilot. To keep it more predictable, I just disengage it with the stalk and then immediately re-engage. Annoying.

Don't have to disengage, just press down the stalk. Any steering wheel button, roller or stalk usage resets the nag timer.

increase and reduce the volume ...that’s what I do

I rest my left arm in my lap while “hanging” my left hand on the bottom of the steering wheel to create slight pressure. I’ve done that for about a year now and have never gotten nagged. I don’t really have to pay attention to it, either, ends up being a mostly natural position for me (even for extended drives) and autopilot is fine with it.

When your rocking out to tunes ya gotta play the air guitar or drums. So your pressure is changing because your hand is off and on. Or just simply apply pressure in one direction and switch the direction periodically.

I was using NoA a lot this weekend and perhaps not since a few updates, but for some reason, the scroll-wheel trick (up the volume or set speed to respond to nag) works for maybe 10 minutes or so, then doesn't. I have to perform the wheel shake or disengage AP. Then it will work again for maybe 10 minutes and then stop. Anyone else experience this?

Ahh yes - the day is here where the 1% are annoyed by interacting with their autonomous vehicles .

This is the way.

Has never failed for me using this method.

Since the original post I have adapted to keeping a slight amount of pressure on the wheel at all times to avoid the “nag”. After doing so for the last month or so it has become second nature. I now do not experience the “nag” at all.

I have become so use to doing this that I do it when I’m not using FSD. That hasn’t caused any issues either.

So, while this is the "apply pressure" nag, I also find that the "you're too close to the white line" alert way too sensitive. Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of that?

Really? I find it to be the least sensitive of any car I've ever owned that had auto lane keeping and departure warnings. I honestly think it needs to be more sensitive.

I would rather a nudge with no alert. Or a quieter/shorter alert.

I don't think you can disable the alert at all at least not without disabling lane departure warning entirely. My Subaru let you change the volume of it but I don't think you could disable it entirely there either.

The nag is beyond annoying. I always have my hands on the wheel but at the bottom resting on my legs with fingers wrapped lightly around the steering wheel. Screw them....get a 1lb weight band from walmart and wrap it at 10 or 2 o'clock and your problem is solved! I see ZERO issue with this as I do have my hands on the wheel and in full control. I miss my OpenPilot on my 2013 model S. There it just watches your face/eyes to be sure you're paying attention! I have arthritis in my hands and it litterally stings trying to satisfy this BS.

I try resting my hand on the wheel but it either doesn't provide enough (especially on long, straight roads) or I apply just a wee bit too much and it turns off AP.
mostly, I just adjust the volume.

It's either the car or the wife ("did we need to have 15 G's to get onto the highway?") or both!

"did we need to have 15 G's to get onto the highway?"

Yes. The answer is always yes.
