Tesla Model Y: Limitations
Autosteer and its associated functions are particularly
unlikely to operate as intended when:
- Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane
markings. For example, lane markings are excessively
worn, have visible previous markings, have been
adjusted due to road construction, are changing
quickly (lanes branching off, crossing over, or
merging), objects or landscape features are casting
strong shadows on the lane markings, or the road
surface contains pavement seams or other high-
contrast lines.
- Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or
weather conditions are interfering with sensor
operation.
- A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or
damaged.
- Driving on hills.
- Approaching a toll booth.
- Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is
excessively rough.
- Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
- The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
- A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you
engage the turn signal.
- Model Y is being driven very close to a vehicle in
front of it, which is blocking the view of the
camera(s).
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can
impair the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this
in mind and remember that as a result, Autosteer
may not steer Model Y appropriately. Always drive
attentively and be prepared to take immediate
action.
