AmericanPowerUpgrade (@UpgradeAmerican) reported@SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue — we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

Edgars Zīverts (@edziverts) reported@ChinaEV_Eng_Lif Try coming to Eastern Europe; Tesla cannot fix its maps for 2+ years. Waze really is the gold standard; too bad there is no native app.

404prophet (@lightscaner) reported@thsottiaux Reverse engineering the USB protocol between lightburn/ezcad to a 100W fiber laser I have that I've avoided using because the software is so meh. Maybe if I build a programatic interface I'll actually use it. Launch an app I've been working on for months thats like super waze ; connects to radar detectors and shares the pings with other users. Spend a good evening reviewing new tools/skills and workflow stuff.

Johanna (@JohannaMordecai) reported@Proctor4Gov @TeamFUKR Car on at 00.12.36 1162.1 at 10mins 57, that’s at 00.23.33 3 problems Whiffin says turn complete at 00.23.58 Burgess says 00.23.58 was before 3pt And they used the Waze clock which isn’t a clock but a counter, which is unreliable per Whiffin, & is ahead by 3mins 1sec

Maqhawe Simelane (@Buqhawe) reported@zizipho50 Waze wayisilima we Oros, working with other countries is what we need, illegal immigrants must go back home and fix their papers.
-
AngryFrank (@ang6377) reported@AnthonyCumia Spot on for the 2nd half. Here’s the problem with the 1st part, “speeding violations” mean cameras where they keep lowering the speed limit after people’s waze app lets them know when there’s a camera and they stop ripping people off

Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reportedWhy is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

Ben (@ben_toto23) reported@TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

Uncle Phil (@jsin215) reported@SysopRon @MattWallaceTech My issue isn't the way fsd drives it's that all tesla navigation has problems and isn't not as good as waze. I'd have the same issue with uber driver app nav

Mr. Zombie Reagan-We will survive. Am Yisrael Chai (@tattooedsaint1) reported@jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

Peter Miles (@ginjajedi) reported@DanielCars05 Anybody had any issues getting sound from waze when using one of these?

tanny.sol 🔻 (@iLoveSpectra) reportedthis is a ******** in the face to we useful idiots who spent insane money deploying hotspots, working on HIPs, subDAOs governance. they just keep selling off the vital organs of the ecosystem and are giving nothing to the builders. were like Waze mappers who got nothing on IPO.

SoLindo Mahlangu (@_XolaniMahlangu) reported@BamUyatandwa @Psyfo_05 @Ongavinjelwa Waze wazenza I Advocate yakhe.All the guy was pointing out is that she must really be hurt by The OP new kit that she post about this so early in the morning.I doesn't matter if she is up working or not the point still stands though.

And I've probably missed a few items.

Rahul Sood 🏴☠️ (@rahulsood) reported@wholemars I've got two tickets on FSD.. it's annoying.. Tesla should build in radar detector/waze style police awareness and slow down.

Janek Mann (@janekm) reported@emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".
-
Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@DLCampanile That's why I use Waze. I've never been done wrong by Waze, and twice screwed myself over when I didn't get off a highway when Waze told me to. (Both cases, there was a crash ahead I didn't know about, and Waze had a way around it.)
-
Louis (@Trolasse) reportedI also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100€/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.

The Joker 🇿🇦 (@Sir_The_Joker) reported@MbalulaFikile Waze wawu msoonooh Mbalula. I mean you act as if you don't live in South Africa and you are not part of the big problem! We have a big illegal immigrants problem that you contributed to while you were a minister of police. You did fokol... Uyanyanyisa bra!!!
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.
-
jdx (@jdxcode) reported@TheLaluka @waze @gouvernementFR I suspect if you were asking in the US they'd want nothing to do with it for liability reasons, no idea if there would be similar issues in France
-
matt kalita (@mattkalita) reported@PatsKam Both of the mapping software that most people use Apple or Google maps even Waze, which is now Google anyways use the data from the phones so if a bunch of phones are sitting over a GPS location of a highway they’ll put that red as in stop traffic if it’s slow slowly moving from point a to point B they’ll color yellow and if it’s flowing, they’ll color it the green or blue whatever you have set It’s all based upon your phone data location And everyone else’s phone data location on the roadways

Jarek Hunt (@Gun2MoufCPR) reported@HenMazzig Who gives a **** about Waze? Figure out your under 30 in USA and their lack of support for Israel problem….

Property and Cars kings (@CarandProperty) reported@Julius_S_Malema @NgizweMchunnu Working for you is real colonisation. Imagine wasting all the time for your lawyer just for and apology? Chief use your resources very waze. How does and apologise benefit the ground flow of Eff? Yeah @FloydShivambu really was running the retail store for you.

zeerusli (@zeerusli) reported@waze Wait your quick action to fix this. Most of users experiencing the same. So it should be general issue now. No need to be hassled submiting here and there.

Dmitry Lyalin (@LyalinDotCom) reportedJust sent a detailed bug report to a director in Waze on a very odd map issue here in Florida. He was extremely excited to dive into this with me. People like this make all the difference in a big company.
