Something is moving with FSD in Europe: "Navigate on Autopilot"! (EP-12)

Our (almost) one year old Tesla Model 3 "Highland" is our "Travel Machine", our airplane, our Bullet Train throughout Europe!
We also bought the FSD (= Full Self Drive) option and report on its progress and functionality during our voyages. We already clocked 33.000 km and just returned from a one month (5500 km) road-trip to Spain and Portugal, through France!
When we returned back home, an over-the-air software update (2024.32.6) was installed. The release notes did not contain any information. But on X, we saw messages about some promising changes for the Navigate-on-Autopilot feature, so, I tried it out!
Question: Do you have the EAP or FSD option in Europe? And did you get update 2024.32.6 or later? Let us know how you experienced the steering wheel nagging and especially the Auto Lane Change behaviour...

Hi.. the navigation on autopilot with single blue line, is only when you have typed in an destination. I can see from your video, there is no destination on your navigation. So the car can’t help you navigate on autopilot. @ and thank you for testing the observations I posted on X about 👍 I went from .27 to .32 version. So maybe I also experienced more changes then others.

Indeed, you are absolutely right! Thanks for pointing this out!

I'm driving with EAP for almost a year with the camera blinded and I almost never have to push the steering wheel to change lanes, I only hit the blinkers. If your car asks you to push the steering then mostlikely it is because it didn't sense any resistance recently on the steering wheel....

Here's my feedback so far: 1. The nudging still happens within the city, although it's a lot less frequent to the point where it's no longer annoying. 2. The steering pressure needed for dismissing a nudge is greatly reduced. It barely requires any hand pressure to dismiss. It almost feels capacitive now. 3. The system will still nudge you based on some unknown criteria even on the highway. E.g. I'll get a nudge when I enter the highway and another one 30 mins later. Again, barely noticeable. I actually find it useful in case my mind relaxes a little too much. 4. Auto-lane change works with just signaling ONLY for left to right lane changes. right to left lane changes still requires steering confirmation. 5. Attention monitoring seems to be a lot more aggressive. Just glancing at the phone or main navigation slightly will trigger the attention warning. Perhaps one more unrelated change that I can't validate or confirm: The "Insane" mode on my 2024 Model 3 Performance feels a LOT snappier at lower speeds. Perhaps it's just my mind playing tricks but I used to be able to use the Insane mode for daily driving. Now it feels way too snappy so I'm having to switch to Standard mode. Does anyone feel the same way?

@@EmilTamasThanks for your very detailed feedback! Enjoy your M3 performance!

MY 2023, std AP, with 32.6 (and the version before) I no longer have to put weight on the wheel. Hand should be on or near the wheel, no touch needed. Hand on the knee next to the wheel does not work. This does not work on older cars with the previous interior cam which has less deg sight

Hello, in day time it does not nag anymore. I have model Y std since this summer. But at night it nags. And I just have standard autopilot so it does not switch lanes, since that update few weeks ago it became awesome ;)

[@MyFullSelfDriveTesla]

Thanks for your response! Isn’t it great? Indeed I also remarked that (with standard Autopilot) the nag returns at night. But I could not test with the optional “Navigate on Autopilot“… Will do that soon!

[@SaltedFishPilot]

The car is still asking you to 'confirm' a lane change by using the Indictors!!... would be nice if that goes away as well and the car can just change lane by itself as FSD is implemented in the U.S.

[@MyFullSelfDriveTesla]

You are absolutely right. But the regulation in the EU is not that far yet! Even if it’s easy for Tesla to improve the system 100X, they aren’t allowed in EU. Watch my previous videos for more information.

Hi, owner of std range rwd M3 highland here. I have only the basic AP. Now i want eap, as it's highly annoying it leaves autosteer when changing lanes.

[@MyFullSelfDriveTesla]

Yes, it is finally useful to pay for these extra options!

[@t.d.5804]

Get Enhance commander, a can/obd dongle which adds some features like auto enable AP after changing lanes for std AP. Disable AP when going over 140kph, re engage when going below. Std AP is now with 32.x on all cars with lastet cam without wheel nag

[@mousetreat]

@@t.d.5804 Thanks for the tip. These functions should be implemented by Tesla themself, actually. Or at least be an option.

[@LysanderLH]

I NEVER use Autopilot in our Model 3. We live in France and it is lethal! Apart from that, it is totally unnecessary.
