Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

according to the manual, the detection indicator is only on the driver side..

Half-assing it is the way.

Even if you never turn on your signal you see all nearby cars live on the touch screen display

Side repeater cameras are only displayed on screen when the turn signal is active.

How's it implemented.

Side repeater cameras are only displayed on screen when the turn signal is active.

Note you can have the camera screen on permanently, which shows the side cameras also, if you swipe up.

 

[stopcrazypp]

I thought there isn't a blind spot. Once you turn the signal you get a live camera view of your side, and the system will alert you if you try to move over if a car is there already. Even if you never turn on your signal you see all nearby cars live on the touch screen display and if a car was in your blind spot turning lane you'd see it on the screen. Thought that's the reason why they never went with a traditional blind spot indicator.

The issue is on the drivers side your head is not facing the screen if you use your mirrors. Having an indicator on the driver's side addresses that case.

New Manual for M3 (Highland)

Not too helpful, yet.
I was hoping it would clarify if the cabin air filter can now be changed easier to avoid the stink that often happens.

But the “Do It Yourself” maintenance has a circular link that links to back manual.
Hopefully updated soon.

None of that changes the objective reality that they are a worse method of input for a turn signal in a vehicle with >180 degrees of steering movement.

This argument makes zero logical sense: when does one need to engage their turn signal when their steering wheel is any more than ~10 degrees turned?

You know you just asked “when would someone ever need to engage their turn signal while they’re turning”, right?

 

[Kevy Baby]

Yes: and when you are driving correctly, you turn on your turn signal BEFORE you start turning.

At least that's how I've been doing it for a while now: do you do something different?

I mean, yeah, I can say with some level of certainty that I’ve done things before like:

• Changing lanes while navigating a curve
• Entering a turn lane while navigating a curve
• Merging onto a road while navigating a curve

Maybe roads don’t have curves where you live? That must be pretty rad.

I guess I will have a real rough time the 0.03% of the time I am faced with those situations.

Some of us live in the mountains. Roads have curves. And none of this changes my original statement in any way. Something is objectively worse whether it’s 0.03% worse or 100% worse, because that’s how objectivity works.

Don’t forget about roundabouts. Supposed to signal as you exit.

I really don't like that they are writing the word T E S L A across the back of the car.

Looks like the word C A M R Y.

yep. instead of cost savings by cutting from areas folks find necessary, save cost, cut out the extra letters, and leave it as a "T"

WAIT, is it just a trick of lighting or do some of those Highlands have chrome trim again?????? If so, that is awesome if that is an option. I always disliked the black trim and door handles. Having a choice between the two would be great.

I could be wrong, but I think there is some white protective tape on some of them. It would indeed be a wonderful thing to have the option though.

A chrome delete delete option.

Ahhh, yeah, that is probably it unfortunately.

There's these things called roundabouts in most of the rest of the world. Some in the US too! But seems you'll be fine - good for you.
