Broke out the stopwatch on my drive home. Usually have 2 know "hold steering wheel" nags at known locations only during 40+ mile commute. Today with 7.1 at 75mph had the "nag" every 3 minutes on the que. Have never had timed nags until today.

Could indeed. Driving 300 miles with alerts every five minutes is a trifle irritating. On the other hand, I understand the Tesla logic because if so many well-documented idiots. I always pay close attention anyway so touching the wheel every five minutes does not bother me. If we are as attentive as we should be that should not really bother anyone. Autopilot, as in an aircraft autopilot, is an aide, but not a substitute. If we become irritated by the calls might we perhaps paying too little attention?I understand Tesla's desire for timed nag, but this trend towards) increased nagging could quickly become annoying.
Maybe you should hold the steering wheel then.Broke out the stopwatch on my drive home. Usually have 2 know "hold steering wheel" nags at known locations only during 40+ mile commute. Today with 7.1 at 75mph had the "nag" every 3 minutes on the que. Have never had timed nags until today.
I'm on the old AP which appears to be more sensitive, but even it often fails to detect that I _do_ have my hands on the wheel.Maybe you should hold the steering wheel then.
The timer seems to be reset every time you do some action like changing a lane, adjusting the set speed or doing manual acceleration.Maybe it's location specific. I put about 70 miles on the car today with 7.1 and only got maybe one or two more nags than with the previous firmware.
I'm now used to drive for more than 10-20 miles without any nag. And the right exits are pretty predictable.Doesn't work well in the right hand lane, but only bugs to hold steering wheel in situations where it can easily detect it.
Vs.
Works well in the right hand lane, but forces me to slightly turn the steering wheel every x minutes.
Agree. I'm still waiting and it's good to hear all of this before updating. But, I suppose in the end, it is what it is. We know Musk and the entire industry are headed toward this, so eventually the nagging has to stop or we won't get there, will we? We'll all revolt first.
My reasoning is I like complaining. Oh, boy do I love a good complaint.
Can't wait. Try to make it something memorable, okay?
I keep my hands on the wheel and still get the "nag" (no 7.1 update yet) once I was grabbing the wheel with both hands in many different places before the "nag" went away. Guess I didn't realize you really have to torque the wheel.Ugh, I predicted that they wouldn't do timed nag (except where there are even slight corners) cause the steering wheel can't detect hands on steering wheel. The only thing it can detect is torque and the only way to produce torque is to turn slightly.
Not that it matters for me since I haven't gotten any update since the first V7.0
So it's kinda like an enforced grace period to allow me to think hard as to whether I really want this upgrade.
So it's between
