Tesla’s Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is incredible when you first get it. Then you get annoyed, Then you realize a few things. So here’s a guide:
If on auto steer when approaching a stop sign: Going straight: let it stop, tap the stalk down and it’s good to go. Life is good. Best use case possible. Turning: let it stop, tap the stalk up to turn off autopilot so you don’t fight with your steering wheel to disengage autopilot to turn. Then put it back on after the turn.
When approaching a red light: If first, let the car stop on the line. It’s great. When the light turns green, use the accelerator to go or you will crawl out like a slow car. If behind another car, it will stop like before, but tap the autopilot stalk down when it’s time to go.
When approaching a green light: Tap the autopilot stalk down to keep going. You have to be ready for this at every light. Remember you are training the fleet so don’t get annoyed. Do your part and keep training.
When approaching a flashing yellow light (like a fire station): Use the accelerator to keep going. If you use the autopilot stalk it will keep going until the next flash, then you have to do it again, and again, and again. You won’t win, the car will slow down, so just push past it with the pedal.
Hope this helps.
