I got 2018.42 but the Navigate on Autopilot option never came on when I was on a freeway. What am I missing? AP2.0 MS..
Did you turn it on in the Settings: Control -> Autopilot

As a few others have already shared, this seems to be a somewhat common issue out there. Not having the latest map update seems to be the most likely cause for this - Tesla Support says this is why I have this problem in my X100D for instance. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to know what map version we have and if this is the problem, nor is there any way for us to expedite getting the required map update short of contacting an already overwhelmed support organization. And... the map update only downloads over a WiFi connection - not over the car's LTE connection.same. and no NOA for me
Thank you. I’ll do that. I think you’re right. A few weeks ago I got a notice on my screen that I need to connect to WiFi to download the latest maps. My car is connected to WiFi every night so I don’t get it. How can I tell if I have the new maps and what do the new maps give me?As a few others have already shared, this seems to be a somewhat common issue out there.

Bottom line - if you have an AP2.0+ car with EAP and 2018.42.2+, and don't see Nav-on-Autopilot in the release notes (and are in the US where this feature appears to be currently geographically restricted in it's roll out), contact support for assistance.
In my (albeit less than 100 miles experience so far) the car tends to try to move one lane to the left to pass someone if you come up on someone going slower than you (based on your NOA mode setting), however it only tries to move to the right when approaching an exit/off-ramp. I agree that if you pass someone and the lane to your right is now open, what it should do is move back/recommend moving back over to the right. So far I have not yet observed that behavior.
Interestingly, I did observe a new alert today I haven't seen anyone mention..."Construction Zone Detected - Navigate on Autopilot limited" as I drove though an area where all lanes were open and no changes to road markings but orange/white construction barrels were on the side of the road, so it appears the cameras are recognizing the barrels and triggering the alert. Navigate on Autopilot did NOT drop out or shift to normal autopilot mode, only impact was the alert which then went away when I was past the barrels. I'll try to get a picture of the alert when I drive home later today.
The short answer is: (877) 798-3752 (Tesla Support). There is no way that I know of for owners to figure out what map version they have, and if there are available (or required for that matter) map updates. I never got any notice that a map update was available... I called Tesla Support and they confirmed my car did not have the latest maps, and a day or two later when I followed up, they said the maps were just finishing downloading in my car. That said, I have yet to see any change in functionality - NoA is still not listed in the release notes in my car, nor is there an option to enable NoA in the Autopilot settings. I fear another call will be needed to get more detailed analysis of what's going on with the map update and/or whatever else is preventing NoA from becoming available for me.Thank you. I’ll do that.

After being on firmware 36.2 for 36 days, I was updated to 39.7.1 one week ago. Yesterday, I was updated to 42.3 at 4:00pm and then only 6 hours later updated to 42.4. Didn’t even see if there were any release notes for 42.3 before it flitted away into never-never-land. So I believe I’ve moved from the “Neglected” camp to the “Let’s See How Good His WiFi Connection Is And Hit Him With All We’ve Got!” camp. Not sure yet which camp is preferable yet.
As it stands babysitting NoA takes more effort than simply driving on AP. Until that changes it is a "gee whiz" feature and doesn't really provide utility and is a novelty:
- When entering the freeway it doesn't recognize when the lane merges into traffic. It rides the merging lane until the last minute and darts onto the freeway when the merge lane ends.
- Even on Mad Max the car is slow to suggest a move to a faster lane.
- Lane changes are still very nervous (probably more applicable to EAP in general). Car requires quite a bit of room to execute the lane change. One of my biggest gripes how heavy it is on the brake. If a car in the target lane is closer than the set following distance, AP will apply fairly heavy brake force to create a gap before executing the lane change. If a car is in the target lane behind, all bets are off as to how EAP will execute the lane change.
-NoA likes to camp in the fast/passing lane.
Glad Tesla has released this to the general population but still a lot of iterating to be done.
You're right. It will suggest a lane change left or right to overtake. What I tried to say (badly) is that if it makes a lane change left to get in the passing lane and pass, it will remain in the passing lane instead of moving back over to the right until either (a) it catches up to another car and wants to pass it or (b) it is time to move to the right to prepare to exit.Mine has suggested lane changes both left and right to pass slower cars (Mad Max mode).
Do you have NOA with 42.4?
I noticed a good amount on Tesla Fi Firmware Tracker going from 42.3 to 42.4. I figured something is wrong with 42.3 because I don't have NOA and others don't either (I also tried driving for a while to no avail).
