Teslas read the road signs now and adjust accordingly to your presets.

This is one of those things where the statement isn't necessarily false, yet not at all reflecting actual reality. Tesla also reads the road signs wrong, reads signs where there are none and takes speed limit data from the map which in many cases is inaccurate. This is easy to observe in repeatable cases where a car driving on the highway under a bridge at 110 kph suddenly wants to brake to 50 kph, which happens to be the speed limit of the road on the crossing bridge and which is drawn above the highway on the map.

In most cases it works well, but if you live in a buggy map area you experience wrong speed changes on every drive.

I get this on the Leaf as well btw. There's a tunnel in Hardanger, Norway where the speed limit on the dash consistently reads 5 kph, even though it's 80 kph all the way. It doesn't change the set speed though.

All true, but with the caveat that it is a continuously improved system, unlike most of the legacy OEs where they ship it and then never touch the software again unless there’s a recall. When sign recognition came out (last year? 2019 maybe?) I had issues with the 70mph speed limit becoming 25 when passing under a few overpasses on my commute, and they went away a few months later with updates and haven’t been back. I do live in a major metro though, and not in the sticks.

This is absolutely true in my experience owning a Model 3 with HW V3. There's a few stretches of I-75 where It's a 70 MPH limit, and my car will decelerate down suddenly due to a 45 mph road being parallel to me. It's awful.

This isn't a sign issue, it's the car temporarily believing I teleported to a road parallel to me. Should be a simple fix.

Yeah it’s bad and means I rarely use autopilot. It’s honestly more stressful than just doing things the old fashioned way bc I never know when the car is gonna freak out and slam on the brakes, which has happened a few times

At least it's repeatable so I just turn autopilot off when I get to those spots buy yeah, pretty irritating for it do drop by 25 mph instantly.

I think this would be entirely doable depending on how much energy you consume while camping, even 1kw added to the battery for 8 hours a day would add up over a week.

I guess a panel like that would be 250W. So if you get enough sun to equal 8 hours of max power, you'd get 2 kWh. More likely it would offset the inside LED lights and the 5G router so you don't lose too much while parked.

Why would the charger hate it?

Because solar panels have a highly variable output I'd just guess that the charger would get annoyed with doing a "I can provide this much power" handshake with the PV controller constantly and fault out.

That's not based on anything but a gut feeling tho.

N-thing the bugs with Tesla autopilot. I have phantom braking issues that are outright dangerous if someone is tailgating me which forces me to turn AP off when someone is tailgating me. Is there a button on Tesla to tell the company that the AP just did something stupid and dangerous so their software can actually improve? If not, there really should be.

As an aside, I can't wait for EV6 to come out to replace my model 3.

Yes you see, the system sucks and is broken but at least I have OTA updates. You do realize that lots of cars do OTA updates now right?

Also, the term “legacy” applied to any automaker other than Tesla is so grating. It reeks of Tesla stan-ing.

So basically its not "a lot of cars" and even then not in the manner Tesla have been doing esp with handing out upgrades as their software tuning gets better, that wold be a more accurate statement?

I keep the car in Chill mode because I just never need that much torque. I'll turn it off when the passengers want a tiny roller coaster experience, but it's normally on.

Cruft Jr keeps her leaf in Eco mode, which is similar.

Yesterday I learned that two of my friends also keep their cars in Chill mode. Makes me wonder if this is a lot more common than I'd realized within the parents crowd.

I think the cruise control speed has actually gotten worse on their own Autopilot. It started out simple and worked fine, but after they added speed limit following I think something got lost. There's also the California syndrome of it being more and more accurate the closer you get to Palo Alto, so their engineers obviously think complaints from Europe are just user errors. A phenomenon applicable to all software development I guess.

I can't remember if the MobilEye AP1 had speed limit following or if it just displayed it. But I think the e-gimps do it correctly, if I have indeed understood it correctly. Realize the underlying data is imperfect so make the user have to confirm the change.

Interesting, Enyaq noticeably more efficient than ID.4 at 120 kph, even if it has 21" vs 20" and slightly cooler temps. Much closer at 90 kph, so that indicates better aero.
