> Is Google Maps, in the EU, better at indicating speed traps than my (legal) "Coyote" system: no, definitely not.

Here's the thing. Tesla does not have speed trap detection. And so you're screwed, there's NOTHING you can do with the built-in software. Your only recourse is to go and cry at Musk's feet to add the function.

With AA/CarPlay, I can just switch to a different software. E.g. Sygic supports speed traps in multiple countries, and it has fully offline maps.

Tesla's maps become a gray box once it loses the data connectivity. And in 4 years, you'll be paying $10 a month to have maps _at_ _all_ because the Standard Connectivity will not be free anymore.

Great, ain't it?

Android Auto / CarPlay can transmit the lossless audio stream.

You could...not speed. (Unless your cops are psychotic about 5 over.)


Sure. I don't speed, my last speeding ticket was more than 10 years ago (for doing 80 in a 70 mph zone on a freeway).

I just provided it as an example.


They just added speed traps.


It's in Tesla update 2023.27.12 (been out for awhile).
