First long drive in a few weeks and noticed some odd behaviour:
When navigation is active and I am ignoring it, it slows down when it thinks you are making a turn (or it thinks you are supposed to make a turn). I needed to manually accelerate through these areas especially if there are vehicles behind you.
I found this today when driving a route that didn't have any superchargers, and the car thought I wouldn't make it, but it didn't know about the public DC chargers on the route. It kept on telling me to turn into U-turn bays to turn around and go to the supercharger 100 km in the other direction. After I kept driving past the U-turn bay, it would find another one a few kilometres up the road and the same thing would happen.
I changed the navigation to disable the trip planner - but that meant my battery wasn't pre-conditioning, so my charge rate once I reached the DC charger was slower.
Tesla's insistence at finding the nearest Supercharger and making a beeline to it regardless of direction is one the most frustrating idiosyncrasies these cars have.
