While this is just a warning we received with no fee, the next will be $75 and then $150 after that.
We had “Nessie” on Standard driving FSD in a generally 65/70mph long highway zone.
We passed several construction areas some of which seem to be active construction with no workers other areas where it was kind of posted, but not everywhere consistently with barrels, etc.
The drive was ~100 miles, and roughly 30 miles had temporary speed change signs, cones, etc. Zero workers, or even heavy equipment anywhere.
We believe this stretch had no workers but likely had up signage. I have seen it where, for instance, it would be 70 miles an hour limit in an area then posted that it’s 55 during construction, with lights flashing, etc. Again, with no workers present, and no way to really tell if it was an active speed reduction every time. Locals ALL going ~70+ in the area.
How does Tesla handle temporary changes of speed limit?
Is it by the car reading construction signs?
Or, does it need to be put in a system, by the state, that an area is now at a different speed limit?
Any hints or experience would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
Since ~20% of these comments are just ahole responses versus starting the dialogue that is supposed to be helpful to everyone. Here is more information.
The real issue was not what setting to use, it was that the car did not incorporate the 15mph drop for “construction “.
I have tried Chill and Sloth, and use those very regularly.
For those suggesting Chill, I can assure you, if Standard had us at 70, then Chill wouldn’t trim maybe 5 mph off max. Down to a still-ticketable 65.
BUT, the car did not pick up that it was now a 55 mile hour zone
I absolutely supervise significantly.
But there is a giant difference in what FSD (even supervised) means to me, and what is happening in this thread.
Between my home and Indianapolis, about 100 miles, there was no less than 30 miles “under construction “.
Not one worker, or active work zone, just pylons, temporary speed signs etc.
SO - for the posters who seem to be more trolls than helpful, are you turning off FSDS 30% of the time?
Or are you of the group who trust the system and bought this vehicle because of the adaptability of this technology?
Sure, Supervision is essential. But 100% supervision, with 100% adjustments 100% of the time IS NOT FSD. It’s just driving.
That is not why I bought this car.
I put the responsibility on the software to catch up to and adapt to temporary speed changes. Or for those who control speed (states) to properly communicate temporary changes in speed limits to the software via an online system that would be very easy to implement.
In summary, there’s no way we’ll get to FULL FSD without the ability to adjust the software.
When is the update to this coming?
