NoA GPS Issue on NJ Turnpike

[sendkumar]

When I am on NoA, and nearing my exit, my Model 3 decides to change lane in opposite direction. So instead of changing lane to right in order to exit, it always changes lane to left. This happens only on NJ Turnpike and works fine on other highways. Any idea?

Its NJ and the car, with its NN, is trying to tell you something...

It’s always the same exit on the turnpike? Which exit? North or south bound?

I have noticed the problem in more than one exit. But def southbound exit 8A.

This is N.J., home of the jughandle. We can’t expect Californian programmers to understand going right to turn left. Those are the guys who brought us suicide lanes!

I am not even trying Jug handle or complex cases. Just simple exit on turnpike and NoA changes lane to left. And it’s consistent. Feel like a GPS issue than an autopilot issue. How do we escalate this?

Send message from within your tesla account. Or, report the bug by pressing the voice button.

Drove the NJ Tpk (south bound) from Newark Airport to Exit 1 (Delaware Memorial Bridge) on 4/12 NoA was flawless. However exit 1 used far left hand side of toll plaza for E ZPass express lanes. I'll nav to 8A northbound on my way back later this week and see if it happens there. 2018 MX 75D 2019.8.5

I've experienced something similar. There's a highway that terminates at a "T" junction with a normal surface street near where I live. When I reach that point, I turn left, from either the leftmost or middle lane. (The highway widens out from two lanes to three shortly before this point, too, with the extra lane appearing on the left.) When I approach this point with NoA active, it tries to navigate over to the rightmost (right-turn-only) lane, despite the fact that I must turn left. I've only had the car for a bit over two weeks, so I've only done this approach with NoA active two or three times, and I've always terminated it at this point.

As a meta-comment, I'm not impressed with NoA. Well, I am from a technological point of view; but I find that using it increases my stress level, particularly when I approach interchanges, since it tries to do something crazy half the time. (Then too, maybe it's just trying to fit in to the local Boston-area driving culture.) To be sure, I don't regret buying FSD, since I expect NoA and related features to improve in the not-too-distant future; but I've been using them mainly to familiarize myself with them at this point. If I want a smoother drive, I turn off NoA.
