Incoming Tesla intern (Maps team)

waze like features aka cops

You can make navigation voice guidance button for simple on/off, it's stunning that's omitted by default. 🤦 And prevent map from showing up on cluster in front of the steering wheel automatically whenever you chose new route. I just want my trips info to be there, not to scroll each time. This all relates to Model S obviously

For voice guidance it’s a slider that you just turn to 0. Solves the same issue

Yes, but it's dumb. And half of the time you just end up lowering the volume of music... Why not having the option to turn it on/off? Every other navigation has it. 🤷

How does this affect your music it’s in a completely different area in the settings

Use google maps please. Much more up to date. I get many weird navigation instructions that aren’t valid anymore or temporary road obstructions that are simply ignored

I use voice control to turn nav guidance voice on/off... works like a charm.

Well for example like this: My daily commute starts automatically each morning. So at one point it starts to bother me, and I decide to turn the volume down. But the announcement is so short that by the time I start to scroll ony steering wheel, it ended. So instead of turning the navigation volume down, I end up turning the music all the way down. Now I try to correct it but turning up, but pesky navigation is back saying something meaningless, so my scroll actually turns the volume of the navigation up. Becuase it hijacked the control button being in focus. So end result music volume all the way down, navigation volume all the way up. Totally opposite form the original attempt. Having a simple "OFF" button in menu would be much much easier to get rid of it. 🤷

Never thought of that. Nice, will try. Is it permanent, or you have to repeat it each drive?

My biggest frustration is lack of support for Waze. If Tesla insist on continuing to only allow their own navigation maps they should pull some more data on roadworks, mobile speed cameras, accidents from Waze, allow Tesla drivers to report their own observations, or you know.. let us use Waze!

In AU at least, I find Tesla nav choices better than Google Maps (and Waze!)

Live Traffic on Route is half broken on Legacy HW3. It doesn't show on your route, but it appears on map if you zoom in.

Just give us waze

Ah yeah I’ve been talking about the netherlands / EU. I wish it was the same here, it’s really terrible imo

Fix the speed limits. They are very off in some spots. I know I can fix them myself with TomTom edits but I’d rather either you guys fix it or move to a better source for that data.

If you can assist, I’d like you to investigate how the car decides to speed up at some locations and slow down at others. It happens when the car is on TACC and happens at the same locations repeatedly. It is definitely not curvature assist. I’d like to turn this behaviour off: 1. At the location where the car slows down, the set TACC speed indicated drops by at least 15mph to a speed that is just inappropriate and risks following drivers bumping me from behind. 2. At the location where the car speeds up, I am happily driving at 60mph when the car accelerates to 70mph and stays there until I reset TACC to 60mph. Thanks for assisting if you can.

Please try to update map database in Europe more frequently. Current map version is since June 2025.

Can you find out what NZ & Aus have not had a map update in over a year? We've been stuck on 2025.8

You go into the maps menu. There's a picture of a speaker or an X next to the slider and you click that to toggle voice on and off permanently. Or you can use voice command.

There is a traffic light that I want to turn left at. But nav/maps want me to turn right and then immediately make a u-turn. It’s always been wrong.

A few things... 1. How can we best tell you where there are persistent errors? I've done the FSD disconnect voice note thing but nothing changes 2. There are spots where speed limits are wildly low (e.g. 45 MPH where it should be 65 MPH) 3. The car wants to exit HOV lanes in specific spots and then get back in a few hundred feet later 4. There are places where it thinks an HOV lane is a turn lane and not a straight lane, which leads to #3 happening 5. 1 would be the biggest thing -- let us help you formally identify repeat issues and know that they're fixed

Haven't seen it in my menu, but will double check today. Thanks

Update our maps here in Australia more than once a year? That would be terrific

Especially back country roads. If no speed is listed good chance the law defaults to 55mph.

Awesome and congrats! 🎊 Now, I’d love it if we could enlarge or zoom in on pictures that show up when you search restaurants, coffee shops or other businesses. Not very helpful when someone has posted a photo of a menu (for example) and you can’t read a single thing in the image.

The most annoying to me is the zoom out of the map when I search for something. It zooms out map to show all search results and because of that i need to zoom manually at my location to pick the right point. For example searching for Starbucks shows all of them in 30 miles - and now my map is zoomed out. Super annoying when you need to select the one that is not the top result.

Moot point if you are using FSD.

Use fleet telemetry to make a heatmap "posted speed limit vs actual speed of fleet" then verify what is actual speed limit at that point and patch the map

And Australia please. I believe it’s only dated twice a year and that’s incredibly slow when you have new tunnels and other infrastructure opening and the car hard brakes when going straight.

Guess what speed limit is applied when I drive straight? https://maps.app.goo.gl/PBFca1QKwEzoUDF5A

You can also set the toggle for the left control wheel to be navigation voice on/off

This I didn't know either. Thanks, that might actually work.

Improve rerouting for road closures to prevent looping.

Yes, in my area the speed limit on the system in some areas is different depending on which direction you’re traveling

When I am looking at the map, I want north to be the default view. But when en route, I want it to switch to the direction I am travelling rather than staying at north. Google Maps and Apple Maps both do this naturally. Tesla Maps makes it either stay as north always or direction of travel always, but one view is natural for the overview and the other is natural while driving.

Verify the road speed with GPS data, I often get a limit set incorrectly if the camera reads the speed limit on the parallel, much slower, road…

An option to turn voice guidance off above a certain speed, i dont need spoken guidance on the highway most of the times the last part in the city would be nice.

Automate map corrections please. Conservative driver keeps speeding by 20mph in one section? Maybe the map / speed limit data is off. Driver keeps taking a different route than suggested and beats the eta? Maybe the map is missing something.

Have the speed camera in the maps and chime without having to plug in a destination all the time. That would be awesome

understanding less conventional road layouts. Here in England there's a specific junction where I can just turn right, but nav always tells me to go left, go on a 5 minute detour around a roundabout only to come back to the same junction from another direction. Not an issue for me in that case as I know the area and just ignore it, but for those not familiar to the area, or of FSD ever actually gets released here, it's a whole other story

"Bug Report"

What is the latency period for map updates? Had a road open up in my suburban and it took 3 months of me driving it for Maps to update and recognize it's existence. Is there a system whereby Tesla's drive a new road and the database recognizes a consistent off-map route as a new road?

Just tap the compass to switch? 🤷

Let me choose where I park my car. When I go to Walmart, I like to park AWAY from other cars. When I go to Costco, I'll take any parking space (my Costco has huge spaces)

Here's a bug that I'd like to see fixed: I put in a destination, plots a defualt route with offers 2 or 3 alternatives. If I select one of the alternatives, then shift into reverse and back out of my garage, when I finish backing up and shift into drive, the original default route is now selected again. And, to make it worse, because the drive has started, the alternatives are usually not even shown as a selectable option. Please fix this.

Allow the user to change the default zoom when navigating or not navigating. To me, the default is always zoomed in too much.

Bro I'm an intern 😭

I'd like an easily accessible button to toggle TOLLS ON/OFF

We need traction with the FSD team! Maps works well enough! FSD is a speed demon with no controls! FSD either goes way too fast or too slow with no happy medium! Any help would be appreciated!!

Speed van reporting would be nice and to be notified even when a journey route isn't set.

My house is in the forest and when I register the address it points to plot on a different street. Where can I report this? Haha user input would be nice.

1) În Europe, at least in Romania, the non Tesla charging stations are not showing on the car's map. I wish it could display them, like plug share. That would dramatically decrease the range anxiety, people will see that there are more charging stations than petrol stations. If you send from Google Maps the destination to a charging station, it starts the battery preconditioning, so Tesla knows them, just it doesn't display them, and makes the battery management a lot more difficult and frustrating. 2) The navigation should be zoomed in a bit more when you approach an intersection if there is a turn coming. I personally feel that sometimes I need to stare too much at the screen to understand the exact street I need to take.

Just like community notes on X: consider adding feedback on maps (signing, speed cams, speed limits, slippery road when raining, etc.).

This!!

id like to have voice instructions in Kelly LeBrock’s voice from 1995.

Preferred routes. I use fsd everyday to drive to work and everyday it defaults to take me one route I dislike over the route I do like. Everyday I have to manually change which route it should take. I should be able to select “make this the preferred route for this drive”

I’d like to know how to submit speed limit corrections for Australia. Seems they are using Google maps. Unfortunately despite being local guide level 6 my speed limit edits have been pending for more than 12 months. They sadly only seem updated by street view. Would love if Tesla could fleet learn them. Sadly likely outside your job by the sounds. In which case I agree easy single button for voice on/off.

I don’t have a specific bug fix in mind, but congrats on your internship. I hope you learn a lot. I think working for their software team would be very cool.

I was once an intern for a different department. They made me shadow someone for the first 2-3 weeks and then made me be on my own. Basically treated me like a full time employee without the metrics.

Yo why can’t I have a map like an old medieval map of the world with like castles and dragons and shit

Oh wow! You've got your work cut out for you. There are so many issues with the road segment data and speeds in my area of the US. It nerfs FSD and has it going on circles since the car thinks it can't make lefts on a ton of roads.

A bug report button to report any issues with maps and or different bugs like a pothole or temporary road closure and one way traffic change etc

It’d be cool if parking structures had telemetry-derived 3d maps and I could autopilot-navigate that map

Let me drag the planned route from one road to another road. Other mapping systems can do this. Let me mark a road to avoid. I have an area that I drive through frequently where there is a little diagonal road that cuts off an intersection from one mayor road to another major road. The diagonal road only has a stop sign. The major intersection has a traffic light. I never want to take the little road as often there are so many people turning at the major intersection that you cannot get past that stop sign in a reasonable amount of time.

Even zooming fully into the map a lot of road names don’t appear making it frustrating when you’re trying to find a place manually. This is in London btw

100% this. I was in my 2019 Model 3 yesterday, in a 30 mph speed zone that opens up to 45 mph, and then to 65 mph for a 30 mile stretch of straight road. The car never changed off 30 mph for the entire stretch of road. Extremely frustrating.

I see 2 things. 1 particular exit has me take a right at the stop and a u-turn down the street instead of a simple and legal left at the stop. Always at one particular spot. The other happened a few times, map says continue straight and FSD will try to take a right at a stop sign, indicate and everything. Not sure if this one is your problem. I intervene, but it's definitely confusing for other drivers

Allow for "most fuel efficient" travel option. (Or make it more obvious). Sometimes cutting through the City is more efficient, and only 15 minutes longer.

100% this! If I could see cops, and maybe have the option to route around that location, it’d be great.

I’d like to be able to share my ETA with someone.

Instead of navigating (on FSD) to my house, it turns on a street a few houses before it and parks at the neighborhood mailbox cluster. I’d love an easy interface to submit a correction to a route. It puts the address pin in the right place but never gets to it. I would also like to be able to specify what streets I want to use in a trip, rather than just the options it presents, even if I have to specify it through Grok.

Second this. Mothership speed limit verification against location and user specified speeds.

Known FSD disengagement hot spots would be a good thing to have. Both on a vehicle and fleet basis.

On the fly route rerouting/selection. Sometimes it routes a weird way and I just want a quick way to select the route or force it on a different one.

The junction of SB I-69 merging to I-465 on the north side of Indianapolis has been wrong for over a year. They did swap it a few times due to construction, but I-465 South has been on the left and West has been on the right for over a year but navigation is still wrong. If I don’t disable FSD, it will take the wrong exit.

I'm fine with it, but it would need a vertical slider on the side of the screen so you can just insta zoom as far as you want, without having to pinch 7 times.

I would love an update on navigate. There was an overpass built in my area, I can see the addition on the map, but it will not navigate the new addition, so I can't use FSD on that portion either.

Voyager sounds like it’s going to solve many problems and offer lots of useful features. Maybe part of QA?

Really just this. We don’t need a full Waze integration, but road reporting would be a massive win. Things like accidents, police, stopped vehicles, item in road.

When navigating to a location, have the option to pause music/audio when navigation announcement is playing.

Add a feature to save routes not just places. Like my morning routine is to drop my wife off to work and then go to my work place. I have to manually add both places. Feature to save multiple saved places in a route with one "click". Also I know we can share like places to the car but also add planned route to the car as well. I would have spent 10 mins planning the perfect route for a roadtrip adding 5 places along the route but unfortunate i cant send this to the car.

A way to specify the correct/update speed limit for a road by tapping something on the touchscreen.

Fix the navigation mute issue. Every other time I get in the car, the nav is muted and I have to go in to turn up the volume. I never mute the nav volume myself, but somehow it's muted.

Maybe the exit numbers could be updated more frequently as states renumber them. This seems to be the last thing to change.

[deleted]

You talk like a child

Even when the car drives past the speed limit sign, and it shows it on the screen as being recognized as the correct speed limit, the car does not change based on that.

Be able to preset routes from the screen or phone/computer and send them to your car. Bonus points if you could share those routes online or to your friends. It would be really useful to have scenic or sightseeing routes that you could really enjoy with FSD. I would also enjoy this feature as FSD always takes me the weirdest routes home. Mention this to your senior management and take all the credit please!

Fix highway exit names. I've had multiple cases where it called an exit by some weird name that isn't anywhere on the exit sign. I've also seen it tell me to take an A or B of an exit number, when really it wanted me to take the other, probably because it's confused about the fact that there's initially one off ramp that splits. It'll say B until I'm on the off ramp, and then suddenly switch to A at the last minute. Maybe that's a challenging problem, but I've never seen Google maps struggle with it.

Stay off of social media. Tesla tracks that shit like there is no tomorrow and they will absolutely try and find a way to get rid of you because of it. Good luck on the job!

It's permanent. It's as if you went into nav settings and turned it on/off

My biggest issue is when using the HOV lane. There are some specific exits and interchanges that the maps refuse to use and if I miss the non hov exit, it’ll route the car 10 miles out of the way using surface streets to rejoin the freeway. It’ll finally update the route when I’m half way through the interchange. That’s one of the major reasons I don’t subscribe to fsd because it takes weird routes that are unnecessary.

Can you bring in Apple CarPlay?

Id like navigation to ask if id like to go a different way that saves x amount of minutes instead of doing it anyway. The many times I say "no, I dont want to go that way" is too often for me

Add the ability to override the auto-zoom setting to a custom value, and/or add zoom buttons It's annoying to always be at a maximum zoom setting and having to use two fingers to modify it.

Allow the map to use the entire screen

Great. Thank you

Please fix the auto wipers, having them come on randomly especially when it’s not raining is very annoying Can we get premium connectivity as an annual service in every market vs having to pay monthly?

Yesssss ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Please fix the utterly broken super limit system. So many incorrect limits it can’t be trusted - and it interferes with autopilot. After having a Tesla as the daily driver for close to five years this has gotten super annoying to the point it is on my to checklist for when I buy a new car.

A nice to have: if navigation suggests a different route for my daily commute, tell me why. “Unusual traffic on your usual route, we have selected a faster route”.

It sometimes chooses a route that might save a minute but is far less direct. For example in Austin, Texas when heading east on Southwest Parkway to go north on the Mopac Expressway, it takes you off of Southwest Parkway onto a side street (Boston) and loops you around rather than having you stay on Southwest Parkway for another half a mile where it intersects with Mopac. Figuring how why it does things like this and correcting them would be great.

My commute home involves an exit with two exit lanes. It always wants me to go into the right “exit only” lane but that lanes runs into several merge points. Also, there’s an address I go to frequently that is just plain incorrect so I have to take over the last 1% of the drive so I don’t end up in the adjacent business’ parking lot.

Stop the stupidity of the routing. I get on a major US highway with 2 lanes and 50mph speed limit to go to my destination. For some reason about a mile in, the man wants me to drive through an apartment complex and get on the road I'm already on. When I go straight past it wants me to u turn. It's less than 1/4 mile of road. It makes no sense!

The zoom in general is annoying, it’s way too zoomed in when driving, I want to see the traffic ahead and my exit coming up in 3 miles, I don’t need to be zoomed in on the straight highway only showing 0.5 miles ahead.

https://preview.redd.it/4cow7ssubmog1.jpeg?width=284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=862e1d29991045d5a7ddd433bb67a19d62c45fbc Not sure if it’s Google Maps or Tesla but can we fix this problem? It’s a straight but in that intersection it wants to take a left (FSD) because of that little turn.

Or just have it learn your preferences like that. After you change it a couple days in a row, just default to that route.

When I put in a destination and hit go it stays zoomed out for wayyyyyyy too long. Sure you can like swipe up the directions kr whatever but I hit go I mean to go!! I often need to immediately see where my first turn is and I gotta wait like 15 seconds for it to zoom in. I've got a few others too let me know

I want an avoid highways option when navigating

Destination parking preferences. Specifically, allow us to select reverse parking at home charger. I need to park reverse to charge, but FSD always parks head first so I have to cancel at the last moment and manually park reverse.

As far as I can tell this does nothing

making the map always orient north when trying to search/add a stop in the map. It feels harder to choose an option on screen when the map is flipped upside down.

I would like the map to remember the size when I zoom in and out. It always goes back to a far away zoom. When I input a destination it doesn’t remember I prefer the compass to face the direction I’m going. If reverts to the zoomed out overview.

I would love the ability to confirm/map a personal driveway. My HW3 sees the turn to my house but can’t seem to go down my driveway.

Sometimes when I want to take a transition ramp to another freeway it wants me to exit, take a street and get back on the other freeway. Specific example, LA County 57 north to 60 West, it always tells me to exit at Pathfinder when there is a perfectly fine high speed transition ramp to do this.

Tesla refuses to spell the word “Union” correctly in maps… I have to assume on purpose.

If I want to choose a different route, my Tesla always makes me select it twice. I tap edit route>select the new route>press ok>then it re-loads and makes me select a route again>then it’ll give me directions.

Might not be maps specific, but more navigation related. Allow a preference setting for minimum arrival charge at every charge point along a navigation. I'd like 20%, not 8% arrival charge. Far too much variation can occur during a two hour hop. I realized I can now set "arrival energy" for the final destination. For long journeys, I tried removing the overall route and just making the next Supercharger my final destination, but then it won't let you set the arrival % because its a supercharger? Setting destination as town of supercharger might work, but then you lose pre-condition, and it's too much hassle by then.

Don’t route me around the block and back when my destination is straight ahead with no obstructions or traffic

Any easy one, but maybe navigation still. When navigating a path and it shows the next step in the top left of the map, ie "turn right 200 feet", it also shows the exit number usually for a highway exit. Please, make that exit number font like 5x as big. It is microscopic for no reason compared to the other text, with lots of space around it. And my 40-something eyes are starting to not be able to read it. This is the only font on the tesla screen I have issue with, so a general "accessibility font size" isn't what is needed here.

Speed limits needs a “Community Notes” feature where users can report an incorrect limit.

It's hilarious because we ***all*** need to park in reverse to charge since Teslas are literally designed that way 😆

I've got one spot near me. Main road turns right onto a small perpendicular side road. Between the main road and the first speed limit sign, about 3000ft, it can't figure out the speed limit, and jumps to 55, before going to 30 at that speed limit sign. I'm always quite impressed the car knows to change the speed limit precisely at the sign location. I'm sure theres a list by precise location. But someone needs to think about these "gaps" where there is no set limit. It might be a highway-dept gap technically, but maps should be able to make an accommodation also.

First edit has me rolling. You're an incoming intern. You're not going to have the juice to get **any** of the stuff being suggested in here on the roadmap. Good luck on the internship though. Exciting stuff!

Love the concept. Amusingly also reminds me of my elderly mom who is always mad the navigation on her Tesla takes her the "wrong way" to places. It is likely taking her the shortest route, she just prefers the one she always takes.

Map randomly flipping around (not north facing) when searching for a destination with several options , like for example Target or Starbucks along my route. I really don’t understand why it does this. Thanks in advance!

Show me intersections with signals when I'm not navigating somewhere. The little signal icon doesn't do anything unless I'm actively in nav mode.

THIS! I wish there was an option to choose avoid [insert street] at all cost. There are two streets in my city that I never use unless absolutely necessary.

If the road is closed and my Tesla map is nit updated with that information, I would like a way for me to tell my Tesla to please pick a new road. Now it tells me to just drive through a construction site

tragitti abituali: mi spiego, comodo che mi setti il luogo di lavoro appena parto al mattino, ma di solito accompagno i figli all’asilo, quindi sarebbe carino avere qualche preset di viaggi con 3 tappe abituali

I feel like this would get priority at Tesla over all other safety features. Posting on X and tagging Elon would probably fast-track this above all else.

There are a lot of great map-related things here. Something I think I would like to see is better “smart” navigation and auto routing. For example, I only drive to my work once a month, but the map auto defaults there every morning. Also, when I leave for my work, I typically leave at 5am. However, I drive my partner to work almost daily between 7-8am. I’d prefer it use my typical driving habits over whatever it’s doing now. This is a little related, but also sometimes it seems like the map is automatically routing to my next calendar event too early. If I’m getting in my car and a calendar event isn’t for another 2 hours when the destination is 20 minutes away, I don’t want it to assume that’s where I’m going. Likely I need to run some errands beforehand. Edit: another thing that would be hand is being able to better compare two superchargers in their pricing, amenities, and availability. Sometimes when routing there are two supercharger locations within a couple miles of each other, and I’d like to compare them more easily.

The suggested places should follow near to far. Nearly every time i search a chain like "Dunkin" it'll ignore the closest 4 dunkins or at the very least put them out of order.

Nav had me charge 3 mins away from my destination instead of the V3 charger actually at my destination. Arrived at the charger significantly over 10% soc.

Just use a paper map and keep rotating it?

Voice guidance on which lane to take.

Ability to save routes to favorite destinations: On my drive to my parents’s house, FSD always takes a long loop around the subdivision even though there’s a more direct path.

You could teach it which direction one-way streets go in. Because it's completely unusable around them.

Do whatever your PM wants done :) Most product peeps would be thrilled to have an intern actually interested in the roadmap and usability of the product but, in the end, they are the ones making the decisions and trade-offs against corporate priorities you know nothing about. Get your sprint assignment. Do the work. Ask questions once you have some credibility to your name.

Yo why would this literally be the top priority 😂

55.88907602845035, -4.392970277688775 Can you see if you can mark this bridge as a road please, its just been built. 55.91580105203735, -4.352984902951094 also tesla doesnt recognise this as a road

Change the speed limit on my road from 25 to the 55 it actually is. Oh, and make my car turn into my driveway not my neighbors

I mean, I'm totally down with UI improvements, but there's already a button right there. 😆

Being able to edit the route/add preferred path by "editing" the path without having to add a throwaway stop would be fantastic.

And preferred order for results looks kinda random. It could be 'more recent' but when I'm a mile from the nearest Aldi it shows the one in another town first, the closest one is maybe second, third or lower. Annoying when there are 10-20 results and you have to go hunting the list or the map.

I’d love to be able to save addresses via current GPS location or dropping a pin, rather than typing in a postcode/zip code or it assuming an address. Where I park my car at home is most certainly my property, but in order for home charging scheduling to work I need to input my neighbours address and save that as my home address to get the car to accurately pickup that I’m at home, and even then it’s not accurate. There’s also no option to omit highways/freeways (or at least there wasn’t last I checked) from navigation routes, only toll roads. Average speed cameras (UK) if I’m being navigated, i.e. I’ve set a destination and I’m following its guidance when I hit an average speed zone my car will not just tell me what the speed limit is but what my current average is for that zone. If I’m not following navigation it only shows the speed limit. Please include the average speed data even when not being guided by the maps.

Speed and/or Red Light cameras. Traffic enforcement in Chicago has been fully automated for years so human cops can deal with actual crime.

Zoom level is just always wrong. Sometimes it starts way too zoomed out and I can't see anything. Yes always resetting when I'm trying to look for something. It's maddening!

I use voice control to mute navigation volume.

This exists if you select the zoomed out view. In any other view you're stuck with what you're given. Fixing that to work in all views would be nice.

Me three!

Ok mine is similar but slightly different. This one should be intern-level easy and would make a huge difference to me. After you set a route, it stays zoomed out to the whole route for like 5-10 seconds before zooming in to the normal view that orients to your POV and shows your next turn on the map. To me this is the most annoying cliff hanger, since I often punch in the route to my next destination as I'm leaving a parking lot/space, and I need to see where I'm going ***right now*** not a delay with a big picture overview. I already know **generally** where I'm going, which is what this shows me. What I need is: "do I turn left or right out of here? Which lane am I getting in right away? How do I get out of this parking lot?" Usually I can find my way to my destination without nav, and the whole reason I punch it in is to know the best route with current traffic, and often that is the first 2 seconds of my trip. Yes, it has turn indicators on the left side, but my brain only really finds those useful as highway offramp prompts. I really just want to see the map showing my immediate next moves as I'm punching in a route and pulling out. I want that normal driving view map context to make those initial trip decisions.

Please lobby the nav to allow speed limit corrections! Ideally it would remember the speed limit I enter for a certain zone, as well as send a note to the map developers to please correct the speed limit on their end. Second request would be for nav to somehow recognize when I take a shortcut or preferred route. For example, I always avoid a traffic light by taking the turn that precedes it. After 6 months of doing this, FSD still hasn’t learned that’s the way I want to go all the time. If it could either (a) recognize the deviation and ask me if that’s my preferred route for the future or (b) allow me to manually tell it that this is my preferred route that would be awesome. Best of luck at your internship!

This is the only realistic bug for an intern to solve on here. Everyone else is throwing in feature requests like the intern has any power over how the software changes haha

I got a really good one. A separate ability to submit map issues. We have a road that is constantly used in the navigation that ut thinks you can take. But its a construction road that has not been open in 10 years and will be closed to cars forever. I tried bug reporting but it does nothing.

Ability to quickly tap out way points along the navigation route that I want.

Same. I’ve submitted many dozens of reports for a wrong speed limit near me and it really feels like nobody is listening.

here be dragons

When not navigating anywhere I want the map to lock the compass to the top of the screen being north, and while navigating I want it to rotate automatically so the top of the screen is the direction I'm traveling, I don't want to change it every time manually.

Add the ability to choose to park front or back in.

speed cameras for sure

Update whatever algorithm that makes navigation take weird convoluted routes for no good reason. There are instances where I know the main route is clear, but navigation selects backroads that add delays and unnecessary distance. As others have mentioned, allow selecting route options directly from the map similar to how other navigation apps show alternate routes and their time-to-destination differences that you can choose. Add pop-up alerts when ETA changes significantly from original estimate. Bring back ability to manually adjust maximum speed via steering wheel knob and add ability to adjust follow distance - current system programming sometimes follows cars too closely - literally tailgates.

this is a bit of a funny post, you can’t just add random features/changes as a software developer. everything gets approved above you before the work gets prepped or approved lol 💀

I’d love to have a setting where it remembers the map directions follow the turn by turn to my profile. Like bro, Im not Christopher Columbus I can read it like a map 💀 Preferred routes would be good. Also I wish we could just pin a spot and save it. Like when I take my son to school every morning I input the school name (I use FSD a lot) but the Parking lot we use is all the way on the other side and there’s no way to direct it there.

Get the speed limits sign on screen to reflect accurately. I see the transition from a 35-45 speed zone get stuck on 35 until I take myself off autopilot

This is a really great intern project if they are allowed access to the data upvote

Ive had my M3 Highland at TSC twice already for the same navigation drifting issue. TSC won't repair it because they can't replicate it on a short drive. I have a CT on order but may cancel it for the new Rivian R2 if Tesla won't fix my car.

I turned down the nav volume once when I bought the car. I haven't heard her voice since. It's lovely.

Lmao It's definitely needed sometimes, at least for me, when you go to a new city... But most of the time, it should stay silent. 😁

How do you manually change the route? I have done that in google maps but haven’t figured out how to do it in the Tesla nav. I just have to ignore the recommendation or take over from FSD until the directions change. Are you just doing the same?

This is the only reason I don't use fsd on my commute, no I don't care to rat run and be there 24 seconds earlier. There is a route I like, it's fast and has the least amount of idiots on it.

Would be great if you could convince someone to add street names I don’t understand why I can’t zoom in on a street to figure out what the street is called.

Fix the damn time-based school zone speed limits!

If my car would stop trying to get into express/toll lanes or the left turn lane when the map clearly shows it's going straight, that'd be really nice. Also am easy way of closing all the windows and return to just the map without having to find that tiny x button would be much safer

My car won’t turn left off main road because there is a sign that has the No Left Turn symbol, but it also says “3-7 PM M-F.” Due to this it always wants to go one block further and make a challenging, unprotected U-turn against oncoming traffic and then turn right on the same street it bypassed.

Same here. I know I turned in 30+ bug reports at locations combined with submitting fixes on TomTom. Nothing.

My biggest is annoyance with maps: When you swipe down on the search field, it either takes you home or to work. But I have no idea how it decides. It seems completely random. I've had it navigate to work at 8pm at night, a time when I would literally never be at work (done by 4pm). I'd like to see a setting or something that allows you set what the swipe down always does. For instance I would always want it to go home.

PLEASE I need this feature so badly and its such a great idea

Enable pins on map to mark speed cameras, and ability to move pins, since the speed cameras constantly get moved!!

Stop telling me to get off the highway just to immediately get back on the highway at the same exit

A navigation turn/exit alert indicator. It’s always bugged me that my only options on most navs are either no sound or somebody talking to me way too much and interrupting my music/podcasts. I would LOVE a simple beep/chime that alerts you to an upcoming exit/turn. You could even pair it with a screen flash or something but any option besides silence and that god awful voice nav

Going to double down on someone else's comment, hopefully you see it! Please please please add a "fuel efficient" route option. Even if its in the suggested routes when you enter a destination. Example: I can take the highway into the city and use 10%, or drive down a higher speed limit main road and use only 6% of charge instead. I only lose 3-4 minutes on a 20 minute drive, and I'd rather do that

It thinks the left turn into my neighborhood is a u-turn. Only Tesla maps does, not Apple or Google.

Proper express lane routing, at least in Chicago.

After choosing a location to navigate to, it shows the overview for like a full 5 seconds before slowly transitioning to "heading up". This is way too long IMO. Often I'm selecting a destination pulling out of a lot or sitting at an intersection and just need to know if I should go left or right asap.

There's already a paper map in the glovebox 😂 The problem isn't that there is no way to make it happen, the problem is that the button isn't convenient to use, potentially unsafe to operate while driving and IMO isn't well designed (multiple taps required, unclear what it will actually do, need to cycle through views if you make a mistake, etc.). Saving a preference to automatically switch modes when driving isn't a very big change and won't impact the button for those who prefer it.

Objects on road and stopped vehicles would be a nice Waze-like add too.

Good idea. Speed limits are all wrong in the Uk for large parts of the country especially city roads

I just want it for "there's a honking big unsecured toolbox that fell out of some idiots truck in lane 2" warnings.

There is zero capability to resolve carpool lanes or toll lanes. Fix that.

Everyday I leave work to pick up my daughter from school. Everyday I have to click on the address. Would be cool to pitch the idea to auto route to other places other than work or home!

In here, you are a martyr and our hero. The chosen one by daddy Elon

Show stop signs and traffic lights. I got to used to having that with Apple Maps, losing it with Tesla has been tough.

Maybe we have different buttons. Mine is at top right, with a single tap that switches between North-up and Ahead-up. 🤷. But I just leave it on North-up since the navigation view in the cluster is always Ahead-up.

When manually panning / zooming the map, the auto reset is very frustrating. The map goes back to standard zoom and centered on vehicle automatically and you have to start over. Most systems give you a button to return to center on current position so that it doesn't interfere with manual exploration.

OK. Outside of a city limit, the general speed limit in Michigan is 55 mph, unless otherwise posted. Forever, Tesla nav thinks my rural road is 25 mph rather than the 55 it is. What's aggravating is Google Maps gets it right.

Was just about to request this

Police reporting

Fix school zones

It would be so nice to be able to add waypoints that ARE NOT stops but points which the car needs to route through. I have a left lane exit on my drive that my car will never take and instead tries to move my car across 7 lanes of stopped traffic to make the right hand exit. Could be cool to save a driving route as well, not just the destination.

A “scenic route” option would be fun 😊

Allow us to report potholes in the road

Change some of the logic. For example, I believe it chooses fastest route by default and even with that in mind it chooses a route that is much longer to the destination simply to avoid the fastest/shortest route which requires a U-turn as part of the route. Another ask, use AI to recognize that even every time a mapped destination is put in the user goes a different route. That different route is not an option in the mapping software but the system will reroute and map correctly to destination. So recognize based on patterns and frequency that the user want to go “home” or “work” via this specific path etc

What I'd really like is for you to hang around during your internship and tell us what is actually going on.

Please give us the option to keep the map zoomed out while we are driving. I feel like I am not getting enough advanced notice to turn since the new update. Also, sometimes it's nice to see what the next few turns are going to be.

Ability to change the red classic icon to a render of your car

If you lower the volume while the navigation is happening then it affects the nav. If you're too late then the volume correction applies to the music.

I have some, they are probably related to maps, but no exclusively: * Sometimes, the car tries to make an absurd maneuvre, such as instead of going straight in an intersection, it tells me to go right, turn around and go right again. I assume that's just wrong map data and not a bug on itself * There are a couple of places (always the same) on motorway here in Czechia that I drive on where the car suddenly slows down from 130 km/h to 80 km/h. That could be some kind of map data glitch, except my car is set to follow my set speed limit, not the signs or map data. Even if the map data is wrong, the car should never ever do this. I'm trying to bugreport this, but it hasn't changed for the three years I have the car.

If you plan out the route, both start and end are shown, as well as a number of possible routes. Suggested one is deep blue, rest is light blue. Just click on the one you want. You can go back to this screen while driving by clicking the top of the route assignments.

Yes, this. Mine wants to take me on side streets when the highway is backed up during rush hour. The thing is, I know side streets are far more unpredictable and usually take way longer from experience. I want it to stick to my preferred route even though it 'thinks' there is a faster route.

I'm in the exact same situation. I don't use FSD as much on my way to work because of the wonky navigation.

If you search something, have the maps default to north up. When it choses a route, default to regular orientation.

I went to a hotel from work ONCE to meet a buddy that was in town. Now whenever I leave work, it has that hotel as the first suggestion on where to go. I don't have FSD and I would love to never see a suggested destination again

Ya quit using Google Maps you’re welcome

Custom/favorite routes. There must be some data structure in the nav that represents the chosen route. Allow us to create a custom one (on a PC/mac) and save it to the USB drive in the car. These should appear alongside favorite destinations in the nav. Also allow these to be automatically chosen like the “work” destination currently does on weekday mornings. Give us more control over scheduled routes/destinations while you’re at it.

teslanav.com

I just purchased Tesla Y premium FSD . It is shocking amazing. Great assistant and great FSD . Never touched my fingers on sterling wheels!!

Give me an option to make the map zoom sticky during a drive with nav. I often zoom out a bit and would prefer it stay that way.

When I enter a destination, it shows the overall route with north facing up. This is fine. But as soon as I shift to drive, I want it to show the direction I'm facing. I shouldn't have to press the compass button 2-3 times to get to this view.

Show street names on the map!

I want the notification to take an exit to be 2 miles before, not 1 mile.

There used to be map zoom buttons but they went away a while ago for some reason.

I would live to have it set to a default view on the navigation. So many times I have to press the compass on the top right until I get it to the view I like which looks like the regular turn by turn Navigation instead of always north or the other ways.

Yeah this would be very useful

teslanav.com

Use the Tesla cameras to capture speed limit signs that don’t jibe with what the car thinks the speed limit is. Synthesize similar reports and update the maps to reflect the correct speed limit. The speed limit sign change on a street near me 3 years ago. My Tesla still speeds on it everyday since until it sees a sped limit sign.

100% THIS!!!

Personalization is the key. Everyday i take a route to office and back home. I take a certain exit back home. But map wants me to take another exit consistently

When you search for something in map view, I think it reorients or keeps orientation based on the direction you are driving but for some reason it's very confusing and ideally it could use "North Up" or some option like this- maybe it's just because I'm used to seeing search results in Google Maps with North Up orientation. Maybe this is already an option but I'm missing it.

Street names! Can we please go back to having ALL street names on a map? And while we’re at it, enlarge those names when I zoom in. I’m tired of having to guess. Please and thank you 😊

it being in the top right (i.e. completely out of reach of the driver) IS the issue

it being in the top right (i.e. completely out of reach of the driver) IS the issue

Being able to make somewhat custom routes in the maps. For example, when I ever I route to home, as soon as it enters my complex, it has me go around to the back entrance. Obviously, I don’t. But it’d be helpful to adjust the destination.

Thanks I never noticed these features, I have to check them out.

it being in the top right (i.e. completely out of reach of the driver) IS the issue

I’d pay for the Angie Harmon voice option. No follow up questions.

Small things that would be huge for me (I have an older Tesla, vertical screen): ---------------- Some way of selecting/adjusting intermittent wiper. Currently I can choose between 1. intermittent wipe automation that sucks (I mean it works in many cases, but far from all) 2. intermittent wipe automation that sucks very slightly less 3. constant wipe I don't need both 1 and 2. I would like instead to have either a ui to select the intermittency, but better would be if I could do single wipe button twice, and have that be the intermittency interval, until I cancel or turn it up. So if I do manual wipe, it takes that as a hint to increase sensitivity or actually sets the interval if I wipe twice. And resets every time I change the selection, e.g. to constant wipe. ----------------------------- If I turn the windscreen defrost on (max), it turns the AC on. When I turn it off again, the AC remains on, which is really annoying because I set the heat level quite low, 16°C (because I have a jacket on), but I don't want the AC running in winter, just because the car has warmed up to 20degC. The AC should turn off when you turn the windscreen defrost off. Especially if the outside temperature is less than 10°C ---------------------------- Best of all would be to have a temperature "comfort range", so that e.g. between 16°C and 26°C neither the heating nor the AC would be on. I would also like to be able to set the minimum temperature lower, so I can drive with a thick coat and hat in the winter and have it be 10-12°C inside the car. EDIT: I now noticed that you're on the maps team. Guess this won't help you.

Fix the HOV lanes. There’s areas that it legit doesn’t seem to know that there are HOV lanes, and constantly tries to enter the left lane even when “Use HOV lanes” is turned off. Basically makes FSD unusable on that highway

Remove suggested locations or give me the option to turn them off. They’re never right and passengers don’t need to see addresses of where I’ve been

Make the maps zoom in more with reference to speed. Just like every other maps application.

Parking lot navigation seems to have regressed recently. It constantly navigates me to anything but the main entrance. It’ll navigate to the back (employee) entrance, loading docks, etc. When it does take me to the entrance it’ll drive into the earliest possible parking lot entrance and drive aaaaalll the way across a parking lot instead of using a street entrance to the lot much closer to the main entrance. Yesterday it had me drive through two business plazas to get to the restaurant I wanted to get to just because they shared the same lot, and cherry on top was that it took me to the back entrance lol. That was confusing…

It’s obvious people don’t understand how maps, product design, engineering, or interns work in dev shops in this thread. That said - here are a few things that would be cool to see looked at: 1. Sometimes - often for me - nav/maps says “routing offline” or I’m typing in a POI and nothing shows up - but premium connectivity is working (like Grok, music streaming). And then suddenly it works 2-3 minutes later. Feels like a single network connection that does probably get delayed and has a long timeout. 2. Id love in the Cybertruck to see full screen too right map to be just a bit bigger or show me more of the next turn. Thank you for asking!

He sounds more like a map visualization intern - not backend data. He could correct me but that’s what I read it as.

For the MX/S, can we get the ability to change the route's display style on the dash display? For example, I want to see the overall, zoomed-out version of the route on the main display, while the dash display shows a zoomed-in version for upcoming turns or exits. Or the opposite. Basically what happens when you hit the compass button on the main display map, but for the smaller map in the dash. Good luck with your internship!

This isn’t what he is doing. Speed limits is a map data sourcing issue.

I've got a few (not sure if they've all been mentioned; I only read a few dozen replies). As reference, I have a 2018 Model S. 1. Speed Limit accuracy (I know many have commented on this). 2. Option to leave main screen map at desired zoom position as default. I like it zoomed out pretty far, and it stays that way for the drive, but it zooms back to default each time I get back in the car. 3. Map screen on dash: A. Make the streets a little brighter. It's darn near impossible to see the super dark grey on black background. B. Make the arrow smaller, or at least make the tip of the arrow at the point of the front of the car. When I make a turn, the tip of the arrow is well past where I'm turning and it makes me think I've turned too soon (especially if there are two turns close together, which makes it difficult to know which is correct). C. Option to leave the zoom level at a consistent / preferred level. The change is zoom is "common," but I absolutely hate it. I want the dash map zoomed in at all times with the main screen zoomed out. Would be MUCH easier for me overall. Hope you do well in your new role, and I hope this thread is helpful! And I'm sure we all hope to see some of these changes in the future!

When driving in a tunnel below our city (Stavanger, Norway), the car/map start believing I skipped to the surface mid tunnel, suddenly driving on the city roads having way lower speed limits.

You can "favorite" any destination you like. After typing in the address, press the way point icon to the right and select the star. Then, when you click the address box to type in an address, press "favorites" (just below Home/Work) to bring up your list.

Sometimes the map makes 5 turns to save 10 meter of distance

I get the same suggested location every morning to drive to a camp that my son isn’t going to. I swipe to delete it and it comes right back next time I click the destination dropdown box. Intel HW3

Press mic "mute navigation". Press mic "unmute navigation" I haven't touched the nav volume in 2 years.

The car needs a "lane lock" feature that keeps the car in FSD and maintains the current lane. I cant tell you how many times my car wants to exit a carpool or fast track lane just to sit in a bunch of traffic. It is so frustrating.

More options on third part chargers I only want tesla selected not tesla chargers operated by others that cost more. Or for others mean no free super charging miles

100% agree with this. I work in downtown LA if I let it take me to the freeway it adds 10-15 minutes to my commute. If I take the side streets I know are faster after working down here 10 years I'm there in 5.

Fix speed limits! I will never get Tesla Insurance because I often see the car be wrong about a speed limit and i assume it would flag as speeding, even though i know the car is wrong.

Strangely, the map will insist on doing U-turns at certain intersection that only require a left turn. I’ve seen this occur at a few locations. Also, can you please add speed checks to the map? Thank you!

Yes, they need to use mapping data as a primary but allow cameras to see speeds as a secondary. At least until it can recognize speeds more reliably at least.

I hope this doesn’t get buried, but the data that maps uses to calculate what the “average speed” is that someone drives on a route is grossly incorrect. FSD and the trip energy calculation uses this metric to calculate what FSD speed would be and predict what your arrival energy would be. For example, on I95 in New Jersey, the speed limit is 65mph. Going into the energy app on the car, it says that “this route is driven at an average of 66mph”. That’s not possible. Literally everyone goes a minimum of 75mph on that road, with many going 85mph. That 66mph average is then used to calculate how fast fsd should go, as well as what initial arrival estimates are for battery percentage. So you can see why such a data piece is very important to get right!

Can’t you do this today by activating the voice command and saying “Report navigation issue”?

Any route in a Tesla is fuel efficient when the car doesn’t use fuel 😉

PLEASE add the display of the current country in the bottom-right corner. I live in an area of Europe where one can pass through 4 countries in about 10 minutes and sometimes I literally lose track of where I am.

The volume of the navigation voice can be adjusted with the left scroll wheel. But if I want to mute it, I have to go into the settings. I should be able to lower the volume down to zero to mute it and volume up to enable it without having a separate mute setting for the voice.

It would be cool if the map shows non Tesla chargers.

Never knew will have to try it out...

More accurate speed limit indications. It has become progressively worse in the past 2.5 years. Google Maps, TomTom and OSM have the correct speed limits on the maps but on the Tesla map they are wrong quite often. Especially with time dependent speed limits it goes wrong often.

TomTom shows the correct speed limits on roads where Tesla has them wrong.

Same map style as in china

Become senior management first then come back

Not exactly maps related, but a "vehicle to vehicle" communicator. Could be super fun for road trips, or groups in robocabs, lots of fun star trek references possible. Could send text/audio/video, share car rendering/name.

Your first interning lesson. Be careful what you wish for posting your position on Reddit... Good luck though. I hope you have a great internship. It's probably not an intern fix thing, but navigation has been getting far worse since the start of 14 and maybe a bit before. It chooses completely nonsensical routes regularly that are longer, slower and harder for the car to drive for some reason. It also badly needs a better system for errors being reported as nav continues to try to make illegal turns or violate do not enter signs at many destinations and there's nothing I can do to report it as FSD just assumes I'm taking over to park.

Yes! Sometimes I want to see what the name of a street is even if it isn't necessarily one that I will go on my route. But it doesn't show on the map. I'm in California and it's the same here.

This!!!!! They Definately need preferred routes!

There are lots of small issues with navigation, including faulty speed limit data, calculating long routes, and FSD appearing to ignore the navigated path. A tool to submit AND track issues would be helpful. Right now, submitting bug reports feels like sending them off into a black hole.

Using Grok for navigation is awesome but when I say "take me to the closest gas station" it gives me the closest one as the crow flies. This is very often different than driving distance. That'd be a nice bug to fix via better default prompt, hopefully something simple. Thx!

I have a common problem that they will think you are creative for thinking about. My car auto-routes me to work every morning. Like many people, I first need to drop the kids off at school. So every day I add manually add the stop to my kids school. Fix that please.

definitely a first world problem moment, but I also wish it would default to North Up when it searches. At least where I live I always prefer to see places of interest with the North up perspective.

can you get me in touch with your pm id like an interview 😭

I want to be able to start navigation from my “Home” location instead of current location when near it. I live near a highway so it keeps thinking im on it when i start navigation

Report debris, police, crash option in maps.

Okay this is a bit of an stretch, and likely has more to do with the FSD/labeling side of things. Other's have already mentioned Waze, integration, but Tesla could auto label things like police, road debris, disabled vehicles, construction zones, etc. and feed it into their nav system. No need to integrate with Waze, they could do it with their cameras and NN labeling. I work in the infrastructure management / traffic control industry and there is a big need for real time information about what's happening on the roadways. Examples would be work zone compliance. Teslas could grab pictures/videos of work zones and auto label devices in the work zones for compliance (number of traffic control devices like drums, cones, vertical panels, etc., correct spacing of those devices for the type of road they are on, correct number of warning lights if they are required, arrow boards, advanced warning signs (construction ahead sign), verification of functioning of warning lights, anything that is required in those work zones etc.). Outside of work zones, DOTs or contractors are responsible for the maintenance of things like signs such as freeway exit signs, Tourist-Oriented Directional Signs (those blue signs that tell you what restaurants and services are available at exits), stop signs, etc. Currently, most DOTs rely on either just seeing these signs when passing by, or the public calling in to report impacted, damaged, fallen, or tampered signs. Tesla could auto-label those signs that are damaged and package it for the DOTs or contractors to purchase and monitor.

When first navigating, have a default map orientation. Sometimes it gets stuck on the wavy line mode where I want it to be in compass following mode.

POTHOLES!!!!!!! Please make your team update the software so that the car can avoid potholes

They could put those all those flock cameras to an actual good use!

Thanks for taking the initiative! Godspeed! In satellite view, street/road name labels are not shown consistently enough. When I zoom in and pan on the map I find it very difficult to identify the streets I am looking at as there are no labels (mostly). Also, would like it that motorway exits and junctions are clearly shown on the map. Obviously, my experience is mostly in the UK.

How can you manually change the route in fsd?

https://preview.redd.it/ejb8viet2oog1.jpeg?width=2033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21ef89dee1a6ae1938f76166a81c22aefb5e42b7 Starbucks, you say? Surely you don’t mean the one right around the corner from where you are… Let’s put that third in the list… 🤦‍♂️

you dont have the ability to add streets to teslas map system do you? I Live in a new construction home on a brand new street and our address was just added to Google and Apple Maps within the last two weeks. FSD takes ALMOST all the way home, stops short about 10 feet from our street because Tesla maps has no clue theres a new street there.

lol, the utter hubris of this post.

what is TomTom Edits?

Make it so that navigation (and FSD) stops doing stupid navigation errors like this or at the very least remember our navigation preferences bc “YEAH LETS MAKE A EXTREMELY SHARP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE ROAD IS STRAIGHT🔥🔥” (the bugged out non selected route is the default the nav ALWAYS goes for) https://preview.redd.it/lxufgxvk7oog1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3268faed082889fa691601a413f601b520ab3a4b The worst part is only I can’t make it take or even acknowledge that the currently selected route in the image exists until I reinitiate navigation to my home address when I’m at the stop sign turning into the neighborhood lmao

I want my my app to recognise my 4 week rota (across 3 sites) and recommend a destination. Apple Maps tries but even that’s based upon a weekly cycle usually. We have the technology to recognise patterns in destinations.

Is there anything that would let you add suggestions to FSD in maps? There’s a street by my house where you can only turn left from the left lane, but every single time I pass by there the FSD attempts to do it from the lane to the right of it. Makes no sense since it’s clearly mapped out and I’ve sent the report every single time.

I do wish there was an option to pin/unpin my desired zoom. Usually this is temporary, but it is annoying when driver, or esp passenger is trying to look for something and it keeps auto zooming back.

Remove the silly ‘suggested routes’ on the Home Screen. I have no idea what algorithms you’re using for that, but it has been a long long time since I’ve driven too many of those options. Also please for the love of god let us select the zoom level! It is useless being so far zoomed out when I am driving in an unknown city.

Small thing but if I zoom in, please propose to the team that the street names appear on the maps (on the roads). I don't always know what street I'm on, would be super useful to have without looking 360 degrees around me, searching for a street sign

That was my second choice.

Allow me to simply tell Grok not to take a left on Main but rather go up to Park Rd and take a left and it edit it. At the end of the drive offer to save route to favorites.

I second that - I use longer but smoother roads to get about 4 to 5 destinations throughout the week. I want to manually add that route or build using Google and send it to Tesla and setup that route as preferred

Can nav give us different route options? Like fastest, most fuel efficient, etc. It seems to just give fastest and FSD always switchest back to fastest even though I select one that seems more fuel efficient.

100% agree. I swear back in the day (2021ish) the zoom level was dynamic based on speed, or road type, or something. Then, at some point, it basically became static. Too zoomed in while on the highway, that's for sure. Let me see more context (traffic, exits, upcoming curves, etc.)

I really appreciate you coming to reddit to hear what real owners have to say. What I would hope you could do is point them to this thread (either literally, or sumamreise it), and let them know that there are still a list of pervasive problems that still bug people in a big way, but don't seem to be getting any TLC. Similar to how they allow owners to vote on where new superchargers should be installed, maybe you could suggest to the powers that be that they allow vetted voters to vote on which small issues they would like resources dedicated to fixing. This should give them a realistic and triaged list of what they are probably not hearing is bugging people but really needs solving. Oh, and by "vetted voters", it might be easy for a mod on this sub to set up a poll with the question, so that you're not getting people spamming with the same "FIXTHE WIPERS!" comment. Hope that's useful insight.

The navigation is pretty bad. Sometimes it says I've arrived, but the building is on the other side or there's no turn. I know they use Google, but it's not the accurate Google navigation that Google Maps provides. I'd love to have a satellite view at least for free so I could have a better visual of the surroundings. Not sure why I have to pay for such a service when Google Maps provides it for free on their app.

Reporting bad navigation routes

Pretty enthusiastic of you to think that you can probably decide things to work on yourself. If you truly are going to be an intern, your assignments are going to be coming from far above you. But I really enjoy the aggressiveness and enthusiastic nature. That will take you very far.

OP threw himself into the lions den!!!!

I'm sorry but we really need Android auto

Have it remember my designated parking spot at work. It always pulls into whatever random spot it feels like but I have an assigned spot labeled with a number.

Not going to read all these comments, but I will say your post is very brave. Aside from the wipers, the nav system is probably the biggest problem. My biggest peeve - ANY attempt to avoid a left turn. Right now, my car still turns right out of my driveway to go up the end of the cul de sac and go around and come back- all to avoid a left turn.

As well as keeping alternate routes on the screen during the drive similar to how Google Maps does it. Tesla maps shows multiple options at the beginning of a trip but they go away after you start the trip. Being able to tap on the alternate route during the drive would be an amazing feature imo.

Here's a simple one. And I experience it frequently. When I search for something generic, say, "restaurant," it will zoom out to show all the options on the map. Please please please **make north up when it zooms out.** I always get disoriented and end up zooming all the way out of the country to get my orientation, then zoom back in before figuring out where I want to go. Have fun being an intern there! That's awesome that you made it 🙌

Please add basic building outlines to the base, unpaid version of maps (not premium connectivity)

A delivery mode that always puts the vehicle on the same side of the road as the delivery address, so you never have to cross the street. (I do volunteer deliveries for a local food bank and this would be so useful!) Maybe include a mode that lets you route and prefer four-way stops and right turns over two-way stops and left turns. I think UPS has something like this for their delivery fleet.

Show incidents like Waze and google!

Zoom. Every time I'm in a city I find the map too zoomed out. I can zoom in, but it goes back very quickly. I want to set the zoom level and leave it there. Rain radar. It zooms out to reveal the whole country. I don't care if it's going to rain 1000km from my location. Just show a 100km radius around my location, I can zoom out if I need to see more

You would think that with the AI available this would already be a thing lol

Bro you Cooked yourself.

Those edits sent me to the moon lmaooo

Congrats on the internship! Not related to nav but the ability to turn on the AC for the driver side only. My 2022 M3 allowed me to do this but my 2025 automatically turns on both sides every time which I’d really really like the ability to change. May be completely outside the realm of what you’re able to suggest, but thought I’d throw that out there. There’s a lack of precision with nav in certain areas. My car thinks I’m on the other side of the street when I park in a certain spot (so I couldn’t even have FSD take me home for the longest time) so maybe the ability to force it to recognize a location / override address settings.

I have hw3 and wish it was quicker to get to the fan speed… I find it kind of annoying/distracting having to hit 3 separate touches just to get to it

Congrats on the internship, I hope it goes well! I'm guessing this is slightly more related to FSD than maps, but it likely is at least somewhat relevant to both teams: there's a bug (at least on FSD 12.x) where it likes to try to turn in an intersection, when the navigation has it going straight through the intersection, and then that road turns immediately afterwards. This didn't used to happen and is very annoying, and potentially dangerous as well!

I also have this. Set my preferred route, reverse out my drive, go to drive away and find the old route is back with no option to change it

Develop a heat map that shows when someone overrides the nav. I always have to correct it when leaving work because it stupidly thinks it needs to drive3 miles away instead of just turning right after exiting my parking lot. Insanely easy to fix

Send some crews out to verify speed limits.

this! drives me crazy

It would be cool to be able to search for public restrooms, or like a special icon on the map of places that have public restrooms

Can I have something like AGENTS.md for FSD :)

Allow modification of route by screen gesture like Google Maps.

Also will piss of robotaxi customers paying extra for the detour.

Option to avoid unprotected left turns in navigation

The ability to save multiple destinations and pull them up (delivery routes, carpools). The same set of stops you do on a regular basis.

Smarter Toll Avoidance I use toll roads when they save me a meaningful amount of time. I don't get on a toll road to save 1 minute. Give me an option to use toll roads only if they save me more than X number of minutes.

Slip in an update to the auto wipers. and by update, I mean, turn off the setting that turns it on whether someone enables TACC, AP, out FSD. When they track down who made that fix, you'll probably get hired and a massive stock incentive, perhaps a free trip to Cancun. Maybe even a seat at the boardroom table. You're welcome.

My only 2 issues with FSD, that it can’t avoid potholes, like I’m playing Frogger. And not taking the same route I would normally take instead it will turn one block down and miss the highway entrance

This took me way too long to figure out. Was that anywhere in the startup tutorials? Because I clearly missed that memo.

Hello fellow Cherokeean

Same. Nav wants me to turn right and then make a u-turn out of my office, but only sometimes

Howdy! 🤠

Is that a known thing? I recall there was that lady at SpaceX that did her own unboxing of the Starlink receiver hardware before it had even been released to the public, and the worst thing that happened was she didn't present live on Falcon launches for a few months. Maybe times have changed though, or Tesla deals with these things differently.

It would be wonderful if maps show the actual path the car will take rather than a computed one. Often the navigation shown at-least on local routes is not what the car follows on fsd. Also it would nice if we can pin point a location at destination by zooming in so that car navigates there and stops. It would also be nice if we can drive a set a route on the map that can be followed including where we park.

I think you should worry about finding a place to stay. Good luck on your first day.

Back into your garage.

How bout the barrage of roads that now list incorrect speed limit data? Speed limit data coming from the cloud that had been correct for the last 7 years suddenly wrong all over the place (no updates even required!). This was introduced right around the time v14 was launched. People been complaining about it for awhile now.

Wait, you mean when my car takes the wrong way home for the 3,000th time, my voice note back to Tesla is not heard? WTF?!

I should be able to list my house as a charging location privately so my car will know to back in.

The way the requirements of this grows with every comment resembles a product manager without a PRD

ur funny

Waypoint. I can’t put a waypoint in because FSD stops there .

Vote it up

Vote it up

Two majorly broken things: 1.) search should always prioritize destinations in your town/city/area *first* 2.) saying with voice "call John Doe mobile" fails. This is extremely annoying, especially when you have contacts with work phone numbers or multiple phones. Also, it would be nice to remember the rear seat heat settings or AC/fan (for kids) instead of it resetting every ride.

Please for the love of everything good this! As someone living in LA FSD takes the dumbest fkn routes during rush hour

Would be great if while I’m driving and I see some problem in the road ahead of me I can poke on that spot in the map to say pretend this road is closed

One thing that could be really useful is making it easier for drivers to add or suggest third party charging locations directly from the map. A simple submission flow with quick verification would help keep the map data fresh as new chargers appear. If those chargers could also connect to live data like availability and pricing, it would make trip planning a lot more practical when you are outside the Supercharger network. There is probably also a commercial angle. Third party networks could opt in to share their data and appear more prominently in search or routing, potentially as a paid listing or advertising model like other map platforms use. That way drivers get better visibility of reliable chargers and Tesla gets higher quality data and a small revenue stream.

It’s in there

Fix the problem where the navigation confuses “ave” and “st” It shouldn't happen when the address is set for home/work and it still gets confused randomly.

So I had this happen and didn’t even realize it, now I more what caused it.

I want to get out of my car... Then get back in & have my music (USB) continue exactly where I left off. Sometimes I'll come home, park overnight & get in the next morning & the same song will play. It's not exactly where I left off... But close. Other times I'll hop out, run into the post office for 30 secs & come back to silence. It's so random. I hate having to manually find where I left off. Seems like a few lines of code could fix this.

Not sure if mentioned, but when you add another stop to your navigation, it would be nice if it gave you an option to edit it's stop after adding, rather than defaulting it to be the next stop. Otherwise, it reroute until you choose edit and manually move it's position. Why not have that option right after you add it?

my dad can beat up your dad

Remove the suggested destination feature that shows up right below the nav input section. It always shows a place I went one time weeks ago and is never helpful.

As a guy over 50 with aging vision, the insistence of gray text on gray screens is really f***ing hard to see. The tiny ass size of the route info like which exit to take off a highway on the far side if the screen is also nearly impossible to f***ing see. Gray on gray with tiny font sizes is pretty in presentations and decks, but miserable in a moving shaking car with moving shaking people and little time to glance at navigation info on a busy highway.

Waze?

Same in US

This. As someone who was an intern just last summer, there is a thin line between being proactive and being annoying to management.

You can increase the Navi volume and it gets pretty loud . Make sure you don’t have “Joe mode “ on . I believe it makes alerts quietly and Navi guidance might be a part of it

Have the car actually know the speed limit

Hey /u/usedPOS — this whole thread is a very useful introduction to the world of collecting user feedback and their inability to distinguish the concept of a “bug” from a “feature.” (While I haven’t read the entirety of the thread, I have yet to see an actual bug reported in >100 comments) Sorting through this trash is your PMs job, and they would like it very much if you took pity on them and bought them a drink.

Cicero Avenue on the west side of Chicago is also known as Illinois Route 50. FSD always mistakes the “Illinois 50” signs on the side of the road as “50 mph,” and behaves accordingly. The actual speed limit of the road is more like 30 mph.

Tesla navigation treats any signage prohibiting an action for certain vehicles as always applying. For example, a “NO LEFT TURN (VEHICLES OVER XX FEET)” will make a Tesla avoid the turn and navigate the long way around, despite no Tesla S/3/X/Y vehicle being over XX feet in length. Fix that systemic issue and navigation will improve dramatically across the board.

I hit a dead end when I was driving visually off the map, and a road appeared the same as a pedestrian path - Would be great if pedestrian paths could be dotted or something - the car knows you can't drive down them as it doesn't navigate through them. Given tesla uses google data, it would be great if it could get the same "this business will be closed when you arrive" message that you get when using google maps. Saves a few wasted trips. Rank business locations by proximity (travel time would be better, but is harder). Have the map real estate defended more vigorously with navigation on. I.e. when a passenger whats to change the radio station, keep the top left quarter of the screen for the map.

How about a button for : avoid the route that’s likely to get be shot; but saves me 5 minutes…. (Aka: stay on the damn freeway in high crime areas…)

Extremely slow navigation updates - it sometimes takes a year for Tesla to recognize a new road that is even shown on the map. This is frustrating as it makes Autopilot unusable. Also speed limits are often wrong. The most of phantom breaking is caused by incorrect navigation speed limits. This is a simple fix, yet Tesla burns billions on training AP that is unusable due to wrong speed limits 😉. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with maps application. A lot of good development happpend in the past few years and it is now very usable.

The ability to manually start/reset the Average speed calculation. Even cars from 20 years ago had this, and it's useful when that's how limits are enforced (section control). They added an automatic feature, but it only works when it thinks it should (based on some Waze-like camera data), you can't start/reset it manually with a tap on the number, or something like that. So if Maps has outdated average speed beginning/end or limits, it does not work.

I’d just like to ask a question maybe you know the answer to. There’s a small side street that it kept missing which was shorter. It’s using it now since I would turn off FSD and do it myself. Did it learn that or does it do it because I reported it once?

Hi, thanks for your thoughtful offer. The most valuable thing for me would be a way to report safety critical mapping errors in a way that results in them actually being fixed. There's a major road near me where when using FSD the vehicle crosses the median lines into the wrong lane of traffic in the same spot every time. It's terrifying! I've reported it many times over the past 5 months and it hasn't been fixed. I worry that it's going to cause a serious accident.

This is a great idea!

I love this idea

Yes. And no FSD 14 either!

Make street names visible when zoomed in.

I hate when it gets into a right turn only lane only to try and go back where it came from and go straight. At rush hour, it cannot find room to go back and I end up in the wrong area.

Making sure streets have the correct speed limit. I have two on my route to home and work and they both cause the car to slam on their brakes despite many reports, so I always have to be ready for it

For those recommending preferred commute route (or just preferred routes in general) being asked or recommended . . . 1st - I agree 2nd - current work-around is that Grok now easily handles multi-destination mapping. Pick a unique place on your preferred route to where-ever you commonly go and tell Grok to take you there and then to your final destination. As you arrive to your first destination move your mapping through the arrived and proceed to next destination to immediately continue on to your final place before you pull off and park at the first one. Grok (even in beta) is a HUGE step up from traditional navigation - especially for multi-stop and for destinations you are not completely sure of the name or addresses for.

Yes omg please make super easy access to the tolls/no tolls options. Fighting through monies to flip it on or off, or even just check, is annoying

More map skins other than Mars.  Rainbow road and shit.  WoW style maps. Cyberpunk 2077 map. I can keep going

Here’s a small feature I would like to see: When entering a long tunnel, automatically set the climate to “recirculate”, to avoid having exhaust fumes enter the cabin. In Europe, EAP already switches to regular AP while in tunnels, so it seems like the necessary map data is already there! Enjoy the internship!

No, don't do it default. I want my car to propose the fastest route, not necessarily the one I was driving during the past week. If today that route is slow, I want the car to choose an alternative.

It there was a way it could remember preferred routes and preferred speeds when you adjust on a specific part of that route that would be great.

Can the route show toll amount like Google Maps

Add more shortcuts than home and work … like for example school or grandma

Just as I was reading your reply, I got a message from Google Maps saying I might need to leave earlier than normal because there’s a closure on my preferred route. So, I agree with what you’re saying but I still want it to learn my preferred routing & don’t change unless it’s a significant time change.

Option to avoid unpaved roads. Fix speed limits Somehow navigation wants to go around backstreets even when there is no traffic. Why.. no idea. so this needs fixing.

Yep. I wanna be able to look at routes for places I am not at. FYI. I am headed home for the weekend but I wanted to start looking at routes in my home area as my parents live in BFE and I wanted to plan my round trip to their house. But from my home, not where I currently am. Kinda like on google where you can change both the to/from locations.

When I ask vocally "Navigate to (say random place)" it says navigation cancelled. EVERY.TIME. Please investigate this For what it's worth, the car is in french canadian and I speak french canadian. It used to work all the time, now since a month or two it never works

Yeah this would be great. My drive home from work, there is a patch of road that is better suited for a motocross track and I always force a lane change to avoid the baja 1000 experience but I have to do this forced lane change daily and if I dont… welp we go for a ride!

Tell the team that builds the Spotify app to output 320kbps on my Intel Model 3.

One tap on the screen to return to default navigation / close the direction detail. Sometimes I'll swipe down so I can see all the turn-by-turn directions and it's incredibly difficult to close that while driving... Half the time when I try to flick it up it just Scrolls through and it won't return to the turn-by-turn navigation. Drives me bonkers

How about suggesting an option to avoid dirt roads? Mine keeps suggesting this terrible dirt road option I would like to avoid forever.

when navigating, weigh charging options with the driver's preferred stops along the route. I frequently travel a route that's about 400 miles each way. I stop at the same places to charge every trip. yet, every trip i have to edit my route after navigating to put in the same charging stations i always go to. I'm sure you could record how many times I've navigated a long route, modified that long route, removed automatically selected charging stations, entered new ones then traveled.

Also, when using Grok to say, "approach the destination from the north", it will plot the correct route. Perfect! That's something that is harder to do by tapping on the screen. Same issue though, after a minute the route changes.

Back in the day when navigating somewhere, the map would ZOOM OUT on highways then ZOOM IN when approaching an exit or on city streets. I really liked that feature and would love for it to be brought back

This^^ Make the accent lights blink a contrasting color to the side the exit/turn is on

How about ability to view an added map layer that shows weather radar. That would be awesome

Most efficient route including time to charge, I've found that on many occasions taking a rural route actually saves me time, vs taking the interstate necessitating a charging stop due to higher energy demand of 70 mph vs 55 mph. Also the speed limits around here just plain need updated FSD is awful to use when it thinks the speed limit is 30. I can report it as a bug daily for the next 10 years, but it only leads to frustration knowing those reports seem to go nowhere.

please add the ability to search for a contacts name directly in the maps, considering tesla already has their address in the contacts app. Google maps, waze, apple, has had this feature for years.

Yes force preferred routes. School pickups, pharmacy drivethrus etc. these all require special entrance exit points that saying "go to x address" does not address.

I know you don't control FSD but please find someone in the department and ask them why the car doesn't slow down around speed traps. The car knows the trap is there, do something about it!

Please! This is one of the most irritating issues with using FSD, since the speed profiles are tied into whatever the car thinks the posted speed limit is. There needs to be a reporting mechanism to report speed limit bugs specifically.

One day my Tesla (model S) pulled me over to the side of the road and turned on ALL its safety lights and triggers because a semi-truck was coming toward me from the other direction, in its lane. The mapper apparently didn’t understand that there was a curve in the road. My dad was with me and we discussed it afterward. I understand the car was all about my safety, but it needed to understand those curves. This was in eastern Washington.

First off, congrats on the internship. I’m a former Tesla owner, so they may have fixed this in the last few months. But on my commute there was a light where I’d turn right onto a pretty quiet road. Tesla navigation always told me to turn left instead, go about half a mile up the road, then flip around. My buddy’s Tesla did the exact same thing. Same weird route every time. I tried to sketch out what the route looked like. https://preview.redd.it/zuy5ez88rtog1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5985200ca14af968bc8cd31c327110bc54e87aac

lol good luck sounds like a fun gig but I wouldn’t think you get to make feature improvements as an intern.

Why most of the streets has no name on them?

Arriving in my garage has never worked on FSD! Just keeps driving by it…

#Pothole report #Pothole indicated on maps

I have one for Tesla X. The navigation on the instrument cluster (dash screen) needs to be more zoomed it. It’s kind of the same zoom level as the main screen but since it’s smaller and lower resolution, it doesn’t work. Try it on small city streets, you can’t tell which street to take. And a little bonus, on the same street, the tooltip with the street name is the same color as the navigation path, so as the tooltip comes in the screen slowly from the top, it’s the same width as the road, making it look like you have to take a turn there (blue road continues to blue bottom of tooltip of streen name)

Routing through multiple timezones on road trips is still glitched. Range estimates dont take into account speeds over 75 when when speed limits are 80+. We need a button for search along entire route, not just destination or current locatipn and then after that we need better sort functionality for sorting by review, stars, distance, etc.. A button for avoid unprotected lefts on to major road systems would be nice. Even driving manually thats a shit situation to have to wait forever to get a open spot in traffic. Probabaly fsd's most hazardous mapping issue

Speed limit not changing for bus speed limit on the highway.

Is there any reason why my UK car keeps turning off the speed limit change notification sound?

Group messages please 🙏🏼

The ETA isn’t very accurate until the last 5 min. It’s usually over optimistic and then time gets added, even when the traffic isn’t sporadic. The actual directions are almost always worse than Google Maps or Waze, it’s weird that they use Google Maps for the maps but doesn’t use the directions from Google.

Lol, yeah and the a-hole exit and re-enter move on the freeway to save 30 seconds when traffic is heavy in FSD. Embarrassing.

I work weekends. Why can't I input My schedule? It automatically selects work on weekdays. Then I get in the car on weekends and I need to remember to select work as my destination. If I forget, fsd turns the wrong way at the light at the end of my street and I'm late for work

I have a specific intersection maps thinks you can’t make a left at and it routes me around the block. There are a lot of routing decisions based on traffic that is inaccurate. I have one traffic light in town that the car will turn a block earlier because it thinks there is more traffic before the light than reality. I have a lot more and some I’ve submitted through teslas feedback website.

Please, please make this happen. You ought to be able to take an alternate route just by tapping the road you want to drive on the map

Can we also fix the carpool lane mapping? Or maybe an option to always enter the carpool lane if there are 2 people in the car? It will never take the carpool even when it needs to like when there is heavy traffic on the freeway. Then, randomly, it would go in the carpool lane even when it doesn't need to. I just can't seem to get it to use it properly without intervening.
