Hi everybody.
I just updated my Model S to the 7.0 firmware and everything works fine. There is however a small glitch that has me wondering about the new tacc.
Here is the situation:
I am driving along on a clear almost straight road at 70 km/h. No cars in front of me but suddenly my Model S starts slowing down and eventually drops to 50-55 km/h and after 100-120 meters it speeds up again.
This happens several times along this particular road. Now this road is newly built and I know for a fact that it is not in the cars Navigon maps. Google maps knows about this road but the navigon system does not. I suspect that the tacc thinks that it is on an older road that has been replaced and slows down according to the old roads.
Has anybody else experienced this behaviour? I have sent notes to tesla at every incident and intend to keep doing this. But it is really dangerous to have the car slow down for no reason what so ever.
This is the road I am driving: Google Maps
UPDATE: As requested here is a video of our car being driven on this particular road, at the beginning it is incorrectly stated that Autopilot is engaged, only the traffic aware cruise control was engaged:
