TESLA MODEL 3 AUTOPILOT HOW TO USE DRIVING TO PALM BEACH SYDNEY

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom demonstrates the Autopilot and Navigate on Autopilot features of his Tesla Model 3 Performance during a drive from Frenchs Forest to Palm Beach, Sydney. The video highlights the capabilities and limitations of the system, particularly in Australian conditions. Tom emphasizes the need for constant vigilance, especially around traffic lights, which the car does not yet react to as the first vehicle. He notes the system's improved visualization of traffic lights and road markings with the 2020.12.11.1 software update, but points out discrepancies, such as the visualization not always matching real-world double-row traffic lights. The review showcases Autopilot's effectiveness in stop-start traffic and its ability to handle lane changes, but also reveals its struggles with glare, shadows, sharp lane endings, and complex intersections or roundabouts, requiring manual intervention. The reviewer concludes that while Autopilot is helpful, it is not yet fully autonomous and requires a vigilant driver.
