Yes, but that's no better than the standard method of pressing the stalk button to bring up the menu and then using the left and right - it still requires a sequence of two actions and overloads the volume control. I'd rather just have left and right on the other scroll wheel permanently assigned to the wipers.

Ok, what about hey siri on iphone or if you speak yanky accent go the Tesla voice commands
Yes, but give any system less time/space to react to changes in the environment and the potentially harder it needs work to make a change in time. Plus I have access to a friends Model Y and have had a number of Model 3 loaners. So let’s see what the answer to the question is?
Sure… Tweet Elon, or X-post, or whatever the hell you call it now. Depending on what mood he is in, he might read it, and if all the planets have aligned at that particular instant of time, he might even respond. Elon is Tesla’s entire inbox.
I believe 3 is the default, I usually leave it there, unless other drivers annoying me too much. (In our region drivers tend to squeeze in even when the following distance is already too short, if I leave it unmoderated the car will slow down more and more.....)
My observation is the different behavior of previously and now, without changing the settings or my driving behavior.
Hardware version 1 cars and some version 2 had an autopilot system designed by israeli company mobileye. In my opinion it was more stable, reliable, relaxing, and safer than the tesla designed system that was implemented in version 2 hardware and above. Mobileye has since been aquired by Intel and supplies autosteering systems to many other brands. I dont think tesla autopilot has surpassed it yet.
@mellocom has a car of that age, hence I was asking mellocom if he still has the mobileye system or if the tesla designed system was forced to the car. Elon claimed version 1 cars would eventually drive themself even though they only had USS, a radar at the front, a camera at the front, and a camera at the back. This was the version that he stated would be the last car you ever have to buy as it will keep getting better. If you get a chance its worth waching some presentations by the founder of mobileye (Youtube). He comes across as extremely clever…like seriously next level smart.
I just today had TACC set itself to 40 from 110 on the highway north of Brisbane... I didn't see a 40 sign anywhere. But it often does stupid stuff like that. Mobileye was very reliable. 10+ years ago. I knew Elon was overpromising and underdelivering when I bought my car. But I did expect the basics to work right. You know, the crap others have made work already years ago.
The car’s idea of what the speed should be on the highways around Brisbane is almost uniquely rubbish. No idea why.
I had similar issues around xmas on the big road around Caloundra and Maroochydore [not from Qld, may not be accurate]
I suspect the endless roadworks are involved somehow but I can’t be sure because I don’t don’t know how satnav data is collected

RE The service alert DTC about the removable SIM in my vehicle, Ive come to think it unrelated to the software update
I suspect the G forces the car has seen might have popped it or it wasnt fully inserted at the factory etcetc
I dont have a Tesla toolbox subscription so itll be a warranty thing where the service centre will probably have to get it out and ensure its seated fully

Product warranty does not replace the Consumer guarantee under Australian Consumer law. In fact a warranty is really irrelevant.
I would have invoked:
I believe the car does not meet the legislative requirements under Australian consumer law becasuse the law guarantees me that the product should be of acceptable quality - that is it is durable and free from defects. A warranty does not stop the clock on "durability"
Note a consumer guarantee does not have a time limit.

Maybe no rapid super easy mechanism but what about:
1. The state dept of fair trading and them taking on the cause. Ive had success in those areas generally
2. Small claims court where Im told its faster than other courts, costs less and as long as its under I think from memory 10K in dispute your good to go
