2022 MODEL Y AUTOPILOT TEST DRIVE AUSTRALIA SOFTWARE UPDATE 2022.24.8

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive review of Tesla's software update 2022.24.8, tested on a 2022 RWD Tesla Model Y in Sydney, Australia. The reviewer highlights several key improvements, including enhanced Tesla Profiles for easier profile management, functional blind-spot cameras that can be repositioned on the screen, and clearer traffic visualization on the navigation. New safety features like dynamic brake lights that flash at speeds over 50 km/h and automatic hazard lights upon full stop are noted as significant quality-of-life upgrades. The reviewer also touches upon the seatbelt pre-tensioning system for crash safety. The Autopilot system is tested extensively on various roads, including city traffic and freeways. While the basic Autopilot is praised for its lane-centering capabilities, the reviewer emphasizes the need for driver vigilance, especially on tighter bends or in roadworks, and notes the absence of Auto Lane Change without EAP/FSD. A notable point for Australian users is the EV exemption for T2/T3 transit lanes in New South Wales. The overall impression is positive, with the software updates enhancing the user experience and safety features.
