One press autosteer is amazing, works a charm. TACC is for people who think they can drive safe but have gutter rash

thats quite an uninformed opinion

Nah it’s just common sense, learn the dimensions of you 70k car

Interesting

Roundabouts are very rare in the USA.

yes they also have FSD and run a more upto date autopilot V12
I use TACC in a few places around me in local roads speed cameras or known police places..
Autopilot spits the dummy or swerves as does not like some lane markings.
Example below Foote Street Doncaster.. Police sit down the hills in the 70 zone. Have to use TACC or be a right lane bandit as each of these bus stops it swerves into the next lane.

it's only for model 3/Y cars. you get an option to activate AP with a single pull of the stalk.

It's good to see Tesla are putting the resources where they're most needed: To program the ability to activate an autopilot that hasn't been improved in 3 years. Mine still degrades the speed limit to 40 behind a bus, it still thinks lane open indicators in tunnels and on bridges are traffic lights.

They're hopeless. edit: incompetent asshats is more like it. hopeless is far too kind.

Our X, that has FSD (limited to EAP of course) has single stalk pull as an option after latest update.

Many here in AU dont know either

I'll add Qld to that (okay I realise QLD is in AU). Even the police don't know how to use a roundabout up here in Noosa.

No discussion on roundabouts would be complete without talking about Swindon's Magic Roundabout.

I would like to know the initial results of feeding it to the V12 AI....

44.1 downloaded and tried to install this morning, but failed with no reason given.

 

[Peterbeans]

44.1 installed ok on my MYP at 7:00am this morning.

44.1 installed ok for me last night, too. I don't expect to used the single-click AP, though.

 

[Quickst]

44.1

Apparently it's a nothing burger. Something about front camera washers which existing cars don't have and a change to the seatbelt chime if seatbelt not applied

 

[moa999]

Nothing listed, but I saw it was a 50min install.
Not sure on the size of the download.

Previously I've suspected the 44.1 version contains much of the Xmas update, just not activated, so as to minimise the data downloads when 44.25 arrives in under a month

Thanks. I hadn't received plain ol' .44 yet, so this was the first availability of single-click AP. Most of these updates make little difference to the actual use of the car, of course.

Exactly - you still have to turn the steering wheel and be under 0.05

Received 38.9 last night. Curiously, the change notes only listed "minor fixes and improvements". but the "single tap for Autopilot" option popped up as a card (and was highlighted with a blue dot in the menus).

 

[Quickst]

single tap for Autopilot

Which i am ignoring
The single tap AP is buggy - apparently Autosteer will not only cancel when a lane change is actioned but also the underlying TACC unlike the double tap for Autosteer

That seems like it's by design - when you have single-tap-Autopilot enabled, TACC-only just doesn't exist (it would be weird if it did but the only way to get to it was to go to Autopilot mode then wrench the wheel).

I also am not enabling single-tap-Autopilot, because I use TACC-only mode all the time.
