Soooo, I've been trying to figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong. With Joe Mode and Robert Plant Mode enabled it can be tough to tell if the signals are working - but I keep getting the sense that they're not. And when they do work, I sometimes have a heck of a time trying to cancel them!
I'm not the only one.
And it looks like Tesla has a "fix" coming soon.
Meanwhile, thanks to Background-Gold I think the various signal modes can be summarized as follows:
Hopefully this helps other TMC'ers struggling to figure out why the signal only works sometimes.
* Curiously, the gearshift responds to fast inputs despite appearing to be mechanically identical to the turn signal stalk.

Meanwhile, thanks to Background-Gold I think the various signal modes can be summarized as follows:
INPUT | RESPONSE |
Slow press to detent | One blink, maybe more, depending on how slow |
Slow press past detent | Blinks until cancelled |
Medium press to detent | Triple blink (Why not 5? Is 3 really enough for anyone?) |
Medium press past detent | Blinks until cancelled |
Fast press to detent | Nothing* |
Fast press past detent | Nothing* |
