Will Tesla please the UK. Tesla vision/metric

[Lddex]

Quick one. I woke to the Tesla vision update. Not really tried it but so far it does what it says. Maybe a little to keen to tell me to stop or beep at me.

The one thing I hope Tesla do, is give us the ability to change the units. Being we are Niles, this means we get the distances listed in inches. I like many people in the UK born after a certain time use Metric. I tend to use a bit of both as we all do. I know I can change this in the settings by switch to KM rather than miles, but that's not what I want. I still want miles for distance but cm for Tesla vision as I personally find it easier to picture 10 CM in my head rather than inches.

Do we think Tesla will do this for the UK. As I know Europe is metric and the US is imperial. But Canada also like the UK uses a mix of metric and imperial depending on the circumstances.

I agree with the preference for metric.... perhaps the UK government should finish the conversion to metric and update the road signs to km to align us with most of the world.... at the very least have both km and m (miles) on the signs (cannot see that being confusing ;-))

Or use % ! ie at 0% distance you are touching...

I thought we use inches (shirts, shoes etc.,), miles (distance), gallons for mpg, litres to pay, pints and what not?

That‘d certainly stop people in Crocs walking around in the dark with a tape measure.

I agree - why Inches!

Also, have you found a way to stop the Bong, bings and STOP messages when in traffic?

 

[GeorgeSymonds]

They don’t even get imperial how I’d like it, why the sat nav has to quite distances to junctions in feet and not yards is beyond me. At least with yards it’s almost a meter.

You can turn off the bings and bongs (sounds) but not the visualisations

The bings are annoying. Try parallel park, and its going crazy with the kerb. On the whole it works pretty well for me. Not sure how, as I have to turn left into my drive and as soon as I do I'm pretty much at the wall - and the system know and is going crazy with the wiggly red line etc. The other way to stop the bings and STOP in traffic is not to drive bumper to bumper - but then git will see that as a space and pull in

For those who want metric on their Park Assist - you can report bugs/suggestions from the car. Just hit the voice command button and say "bug report" then what ever the bug/suggestion is.

Americans seem to love units of measurement that have big numbers. Weight? hundreds of pounds for a humans, thousands/tens-of-thousands of pounds for a bigger object. And thousands of feet to a junction ...

I find those very hard to comprehend compared to upscaling to a bigger unit. Don't they have Yards and Tons (let alone Tonnes) in USA?

Bug reports don't go anywhere, they're just there for any subsequent service appointments.

Well that's rubbish. I suppose we will just need to rely on Tesla staff reporting issues/suggestions.
