Any options for an audio warning when blinker is on and vehicle detected in blind spot?

That would be much more useful than the line changing to red on the display.
No it's geofenced to death. Also it's only for US, so the whole country is geofenced.
It's not geofencing, it's just the country set in the car's configuration.
Countryfenced then. Same s**t different wrapping. How far behind are they on the rest of the world?

Not sure I would like an audio warning. I briefly enabled the audio warning for exceeding the speed limit and turned it off again because it would really startle me so bad that I would almost veer off the road. A visual warning on the screen is much better for me.
Ok.
first thing I thought when I heard it'll have this option. was very helpful in my benz. i hope so!

Blind spot monitoring was one of the features listed for AP1 cars, "coming soon via software upgrade" of course since AP1, not unlike AP2, didn't do anything when first sold. Of course we now know it was just another one of Elon's brain-farts, he thought we could make parking sensors work as blind spot monitors, something he could have easily disproven by having a couple of interns drive around and see how ultrasonics don't work well at speed, wind, rain, etc. They are called PARKING sensors for a reason.

It could be that the mapping has only been done for USA Only and we will get in the UK later?
Is it possible with this new OS to split the screen, meaning displaying at the same time two different apps.
For instance: Media + Back camera or Browser + Phone

I prefer the audio since my eyes are usually checking to my side when I'm changing lanes, not looking forward down at my instrument cluster. I had a Cadillac rental car a while back ago, and the seat would vibrate for various safety issues (such as cross traffic alert while backing up, it was actually pretty awesome). That would be my preference, but unfortunately not possible with current Teslas.
I actually like the audio warning for speed limit since it's a good way to be alerted you're going a certain speed above the speed limit, but it is quite annoying when you're hovering right at it and it goes off multiple times a minute. It lets me focus more on the road than on the information cluster, but then again that causes issues for me with AutoPilot nags since I don't see the flashing white when my hands aren't detected
We already have haptic feedback for lane departure in the steering wheel, I don't know why Tesla wouldn't use the same feedback mechanism for blind spot detection with directional enabled.
great idea, maybe someone can tweet Elon!

Can someone please explain the reason behind such a useless and smartless idea?
"Autosteear" the best feature so far rendered useless by this idea. no one likes to be stuck behind a slow truck or need to turn off autosteer every time one need to change lanes????
This makes autosteear in Texas useless in all but 4 roads.
Thanks … Someone else will have to … I don't use social networking, only antisocial networking (but isn't that what FB, Twitter already are?!?!)
