It's unclear if the current implementation would be enough actually.
I understand if they were to slow down the car by adjusting TACC/AP whenever a lower speed limit sign is seen that would be enough.
I received an email from TeslaFi a few hours ago that 2024.14.9 was detected on a Model 3 in France and then about 45 minutes ago got an email and push notification that it was downloading to our Model 3. And just got an email from TeslaFi that 2014.14.11 was detected as waiting for WiFi to download on a Cybertruck in Maryland, USA. Not sure I'd characterise that as way behind.
Requirement for new cars, not old cars is it not?
This is part why Highland cars have or had a speed chime that automatically turns on every time you start the car. Though in the UK they aren’t doing this as I think legally it’s not required here since we left the EU in the same way.
My Lotus had this, you’d have to dig into the menus to turn it off or suffer it chiming all the time. Utterly stupid law because the car would chime so much for all sorts of reasons you wouldn’t even know what it was for most of the time. Had to gone 1mph too fast, had it decided you where too close to the lines or gone over, was you getting a chime because it thought you might hit a stationary car you are going past, what about a pedestrian on the path who it thinks your going to hit despite there being a turn in the road. Frankly the theory is sensible, it’s just become law about 10 years before the technology is reliable enough.
No actually July is the deadline for the requirement to apply to all cars still being offered for sale at this date. The requirement for new cars introduced to EU/UK exists since July 2022.
I believe the chimes introduced to Highland are therefore sufficient according to Tesla to satisfy the Intelligent Speed Assist requirements.

TeslaFi show it’s for a Cybertruk so it may be specific to that.
Yeah but you’ve already brought your car, Tesla doesn’t have to retro fit so to speak this functionality to your car. I mean they can as we know and you’ll get the safety improvements but I suspect any enforced automatic bongs and chimes they won’t push to old cars.
Agreed but for the sake of harmonising software versions I doubt they will bother to maintain a flag in the code to enable restrictions whether the car was delivered after 7/7/24 or not. Will see…
They already do as Highlands have a slightly different interface than pre-highland. Don't know if they are doing this on Model Y also but this covers the ability to quickly turn on and off speed warning chimes.
2024.14.8 (v12), yes in the UK. Dash display now looks a step closer to the US FSD visualisations.

I understand that Highland is a different vehicle, technically, to a pre-Highland vehicle.
As an example, any unsold UK stock of Model Y’s must comply with the new legislation in order to be legally sold after the effective date. Are Tesla really going to offer one software behaviour on two otherwise identical Model Y’s, just because one was sold a day later than the other?
I don’t know what they will do of course but I can imagine it annoying people to get some of this retroactively added to their old cars. I think all of the safety aspects, Tesla’s have already had. It’s just the parts that annoy you and everyone turns off straight away you don’t yet have. It’s in your interests you don’t get those.
It’s not about what Tesla can or cannot do, it’s about the law. And yes I’ve had cars with a speed limit chime going back earlier, the difference is it will turn on automatically on each drive. If you don’t like it, you have to turn it off each time. It’s not allowed to remember you don’t want it on. It’s also I believe not allowed an offset so it’ll chime every time you go +1 over the speed limit.
