Is the nag update mandatory to operate the vehicle or does the owner have a choice? My wife's Edge tells you to put your hands on the steering wheel when lane keeping assist is engaged and will disengage if you don't comply.by SHARON FELDMAN - 7/24/2023, 10:35 AM
Fed’s deadline comes and goes without Tesla’s reply to Autopilot questions
NHTSA wants Tesla to provide info on software and hardware for all US-made cars.arstechnica.com
Something from today:
Tesla said it did not agree with NHTSA's analysis but would deploy an over-the-air software update that will "incorporate additional controls and alerts to those already existing on affected vehicles to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility whenever Autosteer is engaged."
It has been reported that the recall update has been incorporated into New Tesla's delivered since December 7th from a new delivery:
1 FSD beta style lockout. After 5 disengagements for not addressing nags, you cannot use Autosteer for some period of time
2 More nags, both to pay attention to the road and to keep your hands on the wheel. You have to look at the screen to know what it wants you to do. Sometimes the nags are instant when you engage Autosteer. For example, if you engage Autosteer while looking at the screen you get instant beeps.
3 More prominent nags on the screen. They now show at the top of the visualization initially instead of the bottom.
4 Option/setting for simplified Autosteer engagement with single pull
5 If single pull is enabled, it also simplifies disengagement by no longer switching you to TACC if you disengage by turning the wheel
6 Thankfully I haven’t yet noticed any difference on where it allows Autosteer to be engaged, though I haven’t done a ton of testing
This is not fully confirmed.
Also reported : If Tesla has not come up with a passible update they can Not deliver new cars to buyers.
Will be interested to know what software Grumpy Cats Model Y is running when he takes delivery.
Of course the guy that just spent $100,000 on Tesla would disagree with Auto reviews . .....but then the majority that spends $100,000 on a sedan car are making a " vanity" .... " look at me" purchase not a economic purchase.
Always wondered about some of your posts that perhaps the lack of reading comprehension could explain?
Nice try at deflection of a serious safety issue....an issue that has taken 17 lives so far. Now Ego Musk may like to pretend he his selling computer software that happens to have four wheels and sits in a driveway. But the NHTSA has jurisdiction over his cars and this is the start of a wedge slowing down his recklessness with how his customers trust and use FSD , and its impact on other drivers and pedestrians behind or infront of Teslas. I can only imagine the glee that prosecution lawyers will have against Tesla ( or Tesla drivers that don't heed NHTSA "software" download safety recommendations) now that NHTSA has given lawyers another piece of significant ammunition .
And I have worried about your senility with some of your posts, so please read it again slowly, or have one of your children explain what the words mean.
That will be the reality with the used EV market going forward, factoring in the price for battery replacement. He is lucky, at least there is a battery available for his car. The 2014 Ford Focus EV battery is no longer available from Ford. There are aftermarket remanufactured batteries available for $15,000.
dang that model was right up there with the Volt a few years back.
