This thread is really for the routing accuracy obsessed 
So I had a model s (sold over a year ago) and am waiting for my model 3 (I'm one of the first to get it) and the routing was awful back then. So, whilst the maps were 'powered by google' the actual routing was Tesla proprietary algorithm. It was so inaccurate, that I used to have an unsightly phone cradle stuck to my dashboard and would use waze to do the routing calculation, totally bypassing that beautiful 17" map. For 'fun' I used to have both running at the same time and many times, Tesla would be out by 20 to 30 minutes (London - rush hour as a good example) and the diversions it wanted to send me on were ridiculous!
So my question is....over the last 12 months or so, with all the updates the car has had, have they managed to improve the accuracy of their routing algorithm!? Told you it was for the obsessed
PS - an obvious way to check, is to sit in the car, put in a central London location (wherever you are in the country) on the Tesla and on waze/google maps and see the difference in route and/or time.
