Almost every Tesla driver relies on the built-in Tesla navigation system to plan their route. The autopilot also relies on this, depending on the package. Why do anything else?
After all, the automatic Supercharger integration and the Google Maps overlay are too practical.
The problem: Tesla sat nav doesn't recognize roadworks
But the Tesla navigation system doesn't seem to be perfect either. It can happen that drivers suddenly find themselves in front of a barrier and have to take an unplanned detour - even if the closure has been in place for some time and should be known.
The solution: Check the settings and wait for an update
Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about this problem. When and how the Tesla Navi receives an update remains the secret of the algorithm. In principle, the only thing that helps is to check whether premium connectivity and live traffic data are activated.
Other than that, a comparison with other providers such as Google Maps or Apple Maps can of course be carried out before setting off to check whether Tesla Navigation is taking an alternative route or not.
At the end you have to be patient until Tesla includes the construction sites in the navigation with a new map update.
