Speed limit is wrong!

[E-Lectric]

On the main road near my house, the speed limit in the Tesla map is wrong. Where does this pull from and how to fix? Someone said to me it works by the camera seeing the speeds on the signs. No way. Correct limit is PROMINENTLY posted at regular intervals.

Model 3 (AP 2) doesn’t read signs.

It's not reading the signs, it's using what's encoded in the maps they're using. And no-ones found a reliable way of getting the maps fixed.

Google Maps speed limit database. Model 3 doesn’t read signs. Yet...

It's in a database in the car that seems to be updated about once per year. Last years maps only had the speed limits about 70% right. It's better, but not at 100% yet.

I submitted bug reports frequently. No idea if it helped but it made me feel better. Fixed them for me around March. I think the 2019.12.x software version.

I have found on roads that it doesn't seem to have data on it seems too default to 35MPH in the display.

I wonder if reporting directly to the Google Maps website would be more effective? Various ways to do that but it’s about as follows
Send Feedback=>Report a data problem=>Tap on the road where the Speed Limit data is wrong=>Add a note that the speed limit is wrong=> send your report.

Since the speed limit data doesn't come from Tesla you're best bet would be to report it directly to Google as described in the post above. I'd be very surprised if Tesla is forwarding them on to Google when they get a bug report.

I've wondered how to correct the speed limits too. What I really wish for is to be able to use WAZE with the AP/FSD.

Where do you submit bug reports?
Did Tesla fix it so your car reads speed signs? I am really pissed that my brand new Model 3 doesnt even read speed signs - because in zones with temp reduced speed limit the cruise control accellerates up to the map defined speed :-(

You can keep the car from rapidly accelerating to an incorrect speed limit by slightly pressing on the go pedal. If you’re using the go pedal, you control the acceleration up to the set speed. This will keep it from zooming up to speed and give you a chance to lower the set speed on the cruise control. Not perfect, but a decent hack...

Press voice command button “ the ball on the right hand side of the steering wheel” and say “bug report” then the bug.

Thanks!!

There needs to be a better way to report wrong speed limits, though really the car should be reading the limits.

Agree, but in my opinion the bug is that instead of simply using my current driving speed when activating cruise control (like every other car I have tried) it sets the cruise control to some assumed speed limit.

It has been reported that Mobileye has patents on reading signs with a camera and Tesla is trying to figure out how to dance around them.

Very interesting...
My 9 year old mercedes recognise and display speed limits - but does not act on them.
Maybe the patents relate to how the information is used - rather than simply reading the speed limit??

....or Mercedes may OEM Mobileye.

There are roads near where I live where the AP thinks the speed limit is 35 when it is really 45 and everyone drives 55. So it's a real pain to have to step on the electric pedal and override the AP speed control.

We need a software update to where we can manually set the speed no matter what the signs and maps say the limit is. Or at least allow 15 over instead of 5.
