2023.32.6 autopilot speed limit change?
RANT!
Changes in 2023.32.6 Autopilot speed settings have reduced Autopilot functionality to a choice between
dangerous versus
useless.
The two Set Speed settings (Speed Limit / Current Speed) no longer behave safely!
Set Speed = Speed Limit is THE CRAZIEST UNSAFEST SETTING that borks low speed driving.
Set Speed (i)
[ Speed Limit ] [ Current Speed ]
Offset (i)
[ Fixed ] [Percentage ]
[-] +km/h [+]
The car accelerates to the speed limit (+/- offset) when TACC engaged.
If you are in a 40kph school zone and you want cruise control on, to keep all attention on any pedestrians without glancing at speed and the set speed is 60kph, because zone isnt in the map database, when you engage TACC the car will accelerate to 60kph +/- offset, so crazy right scroll wheel adjusting to get down to 40kph all the while scrolling and looking at screen speed, not at road.
UNSAFE!
So just Set Speed to Current Speed so TACC doesn't speed up?
Nope that now borks Auto Steering as Autopilot refuses to go faster than the posted speed limit
because the Offset setting is disabled (Offset set to zero)
Set Speed = Current Speed is THE NERFED USELESS SETTING that borks highway driving.
Set Speed (i)
[ Speed Limit ] [ Current Speed ]
Offset (i) DISABLED!!!!!!
[ Fixed ] [Percentage ]
[-] 0km/h [+] IS RESET TO ZERO!!
Previous behaviour before 2023.32.6 :
one right stalk down for TACC - current speed kept, did not accelerate.
option long right stalk down to accelerate to posted speed limit +/- offset.
second right stalk down for Auto Steer - scroll wheel allow set speed to speed limit +/- offset.
option long right stalk down to accelerate to posted speed limit +/- offset.
My totally nasty work around is to Set Speed to Current Speed for safe low speed behaviour of TACC and when on open road engage Auto Steer and immediately press CAR icon, select Autopilot, select Set Speed to Speed Limit, press the [+] button to reach my offset. Nastier yet when I am entering a low speed zone with traffic is to again press CAR icon, select Autopilot, select Set Speed to Current Speed for low speed TACC.
THE FIX IS EASY TESLA, JUST REVERSE THIS REGRESSION TO ENABLE THE OFFSET CONTROLS ON SET SPEED = CURRENT SPEED
