Just did two longish country trips this past week. Melbourne to Shepparton and Melbourne to Horsham.
Shout out to Jaun (Hope I got the spelling right) who gave up the charging space in Coburg so I could a quick top up on Wedensday before heading off to Horsham. Really decent of you, not required, and greatly appreciated. And thanks for the chat while we waited.
Also shout out to the International Hotel in Horsham. Arrived thinking I would have to make use of the Horsham SuperCharger. When I rolled into the car park to check-in, I found two destination chargers waiting for me. Nice!
The car was just brilliant. Super comfortable, Air-con was great. No range anxiety. Autopilot was fantastic on the trip.
Areas it would be good to see improveed over time.
- Less aggressive early braking when a car turns right a fair way in front of you. The level at which it slows the car is overly conservative and potentially dangerous for following cars.
- Less aggressive corrections when single lane splits into two. It travels straight for a while and then has a pretty violent correction to get it into either the left or right lane. Pretty sure it scared the crap out of one oncoming truck driver when it suddenly jinked right. I started turning it off when approaching these situations.
- Could handle 'left lane ends' situations better. (recognise and change lanes in advance, rather than waiting for the lane to run out)..
- Auto-adjust speed limit when the limit changes is spasmodic.
- As others have said, it would be nice if it slowed down 'before' getting to the new limit.
- It would be better if it indicated for a little more before making lane changes or taking ramps during NOA. I don't feel like it is giving enough warning to other road users.
- It would be nice when engaging TACC or autopilot when actual speed is significantly below expected limit to just set TACC limit to actual speed. When hitting 40kph road works, if you slow down to 40 with brakes and then try to engage TACC, it sets the limit to 100 or 110 and the car starts speeding up and it takes a while to drop the limit back via the scroll wheel. So, if actual speed is within, perhaps, 15kph of expected speed limit then set TACC to expected limit. If Actual speed more than 15kph below expected limit then set TACC limit to actual speed.
- On most windows, the X to close is on the upper left corner which makes perfect sense for a LHD car. For us, it means a bigger stretch. Would be nice if there was a configuration option or the car just auto moved it to upper right corner for RHD cars.
- Voice commands. Same as all other comments. Very erratic performance.
None of these are deal breakers - it's a brilliant vehicle.
Is there a formal forum anywhere to get this feedback back to Tesla?
