Small intro: I'm driving a Tesla S in Netherlands and Belgium (Europe) for about 3 months, and really happy about it.
One annoying thing though, which (imho) could be improved quite easily, is lane-changing while the car is on auto-steer.
For USA readers: we have a 'keep right' rule on our motorways, rather then a 'keep your lane' rule.
So I"m frequently changing lanes during my travels.
Auto-steer is really nice as long as you can stay in your lane, but it's annoying during changing lanes.
When set to 'auto-change lanes', it only works in 80% of the times during good conditions (good visibility, proper lane markings, not too much traffic) and when the conditions are less desirable the car often switches off auto-steer with a chime, and I need to change lanes manually.
When 'auto-change lanes' is switched off, for every lane change I get this chime because auto-steer is disengaged (and again when I re-engage it after my manual lane change).
It's an AP1 car, and I'm not looking for a fully auto-pilot system.
What I'm asking:
-> When the cars runs on auto-steer, and I use the Lane Change Flash (3 flashes of my turn signals), please REMOVE THE CHIME.
Even better, let me do the lane change manually without counter-force, and automatically re-enable auto-steer when the car is back in a single lane.
In other words: touching the Turn signals while the cars detects that I'm holding the steering wheel should temporarily disable auto-steer (for say 5 secs) without chimes.
Thanks!
