But since I’ve started driving Tesla ie now 4 years I rarely crossed the speed limits and raced against time. I try and save 1% less from their trip prediction and that is my new challenge since I started driving Tesla. The good thing is I don’t have to worry about speeding fines and mobile cameras. A big relief. The bad thing is I may be 15-20 minutes late in longer journeys and that is ok. I start bit early if I am planning airport trips etc., win win
and no chimes.Possibly yes.
Tesla has a ton of safety features and most of what the law is telling them must be standard, they’ve already had standard for a long time. They don’t talk about it as much but it’s there.
The question is whether they’ll do that based on first sale date for two otherwise identical vehicles. The other settings are VIN-based/factory-set and I agree there’s many precedents for that.
Sorry if this is well worn but is the “new” sentry preview function supposed to behave like a ring doorbell/camera system in that if it detects a movement event near the car (I.e not necessarily an alarm event) you get a notification and can click though to the live situation? Or am I misunderstanding? Is there a difference with what we can have in the UK/EU due to privacy
It will only notify you if alarm is triggered (as previously), but now will also send you a video clip, but you need premium connectivity.Sorry if this is well worn but is the “new” sentry preview function supposed to behave like a ring doorbell/camera system in that if it detects a movement event near the car (I.e not necessarily an alarm event) you get a notification and can click though to the live situation?

........That's if Elon doesn't sink the whole company in the next 12 months, which I would say is a 50:50 bet right now.

I’m not sure how this would work in an EV. I’ve only ever driven MB’s speed limiter, which can be quickly deactivated using kick-down. Since their ICE/diesel/turbo engines are so laggy you can come back out of the throttle before the car really starts to accelerate hard. Try that with an M3 and you’ll be doing an extra 20-30MPH before you know it, when maybe all you wanted was a few additional MPH in order to slot into a gap.
Right but say on a M3P, flooring it to come out of it is some serious acceleration. That could be dangerous if you didn’t want full throttle but just to get a smaller burst of speed. The cars you mention are much slower.
On my Kia, I just press the cancel button on the steering wheel, which would cancel either cruise control or speed limiter, depending which was currently active. You can floor the accelerator to override, but I don’t think I’ve ever used it, as it’s easier just to cancel with your thumb. I guess with a Tesla you would click the right scroll wheel or nudge the right stalk, depending on model.
That’s not what generally happens. The initial acceleration is usually inhibited slightly so that control can be maintained.
