For me they would be the same. I would indicate right until I got past the exit prior to the one I want, and then indicate left.

Sorry, just to clarify:
On approaching a mini roundabout if I indicate Right I could be taking "last exit", or I could be "doing a U-Turn" (which usually comes as a surprise to anyone waiting at final-exit!)
I think assuming "Indicator shows intention when entering mini-roundabout" means people probably think "That car is turning right / taking last exit" ... and indicating to leave the roundabout makes it clear that I am indeed taking the last-exit ... rather than carrying on round.
if I am doing a U-Turn then I am going to assume that traffic entering from the last-exit will not to be expecting me to do that!

My indicators are also cancelling prematurely since .8
Indicating left at an island stationary, after half a dozen clicks, the indicators stopped

I thought maybe I was imagining it but on dual carriageway the other day with autopilot on (No EAP) when indicating to change lanes, it then stopped a good few times before I moved over rather than how it used to stop once you’d changed lanes.

Yeah, it's a limitation without a fix and whenever I do a u-turn on any roundabout I'm always more aware that it's an unusual maneuver and people at the last 'normal' turnoff I could have used could assume I'm leaving there and enter. Sod all you can do about it other than be careful, as even on a big roundabout you'd be indicating to continue.
Though there is an ultra-mini roundabout by me that the crappy turning circle of a Tesla means a u-turn would be pretty entertaining

It's strange that it's an avoid rather than a legal/illegal. I don't think I'd have the guts to try it on most minis with the M3 turning circle!
I have been indicating intent to help the flow on a mini roundabout near me, so if I'm going straight over I'll indicate left (there is no left) to let others move on to the roundabout.
BUT I don't trust people's indicators on roundabouts, too unreliable. Many either don't indicate or it's left on or they suddenly change their mind and keep going etc. I trust the car movement.
Some do u turns on roundabouts near me sometimes which normally involves not able to make it and then reversing on the roundabout to pull it off.

My 2020 M3P got updated to .8 on Thursday, and since then I am getting frequent warnings from the off-side USS sensors, mostly the front, but both at times. I can be sitting at a set of traffic lights with no cars anywhere near, and suddenly the red line appears and I get a STOP warning, and I haven’t even moved!
This started straight after the update. I have done the whole two-button and brake thing and it had no effect.
Anyone else seen this, or am I raising a service request?

May seem daft, but have you made sure the sensors aren’t covered in crud? Might be worth a wipe before you send off a SR.
