-
Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪
-
DavidLV (@DavidM_LV) reported@LVMPD Want to slow people down? Download waze and just report yourselves as you drive around.
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
Leisure4Me (@Leisure4Me) reported@Teslarati CarPlay is trash but a functional WAZE would be very beneficial. Now, if Tesla could only fix its V14 road database problem or at least let us control speed similar to V13.2.9.
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)
-
A War (@AWar1586398) reported@Teslarati I really want navigational integration with Waze and I want FSD to be Waze-aware. Meaning I want it to slow down a bit if there are known police ahead. It’s all there, it just needs integration.
-
Bee (@Ayebeeeyo) reportedHey @waze can you fix the bug where the big red blob is going across Apple car play screens? It’s extremely distracting 🙃
-
Chatman (@rchatman) reported@martboficial Google Maps still has a problem with delayed turn info in metro areas. Providing turn guidance while on the freeway at 2mi, 1mi, 1/4mi and then BEFORE the turn is why I keep going back to Waze.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@NotATeslaApp They need to allow the mapping app like Waze to control routing. It would solve so many problems over night
-
Trent 🇺🇸 (@tnertz) reported@nymbusjp I do wonder if the lsd laps are to solve the multi level problems, I see Waymo’s northbound on lake shore drive several times a week (Waymo Chicago hq garage exit post place to Wacker to nb lsd to northern edge of future service area). Do you think the yearsold Waze ble wacker beacons will be another crutch to success? I wonder if the beacons were quietly reinstalled recently…
-
Twigs (@TwigsJohnston) reported@CuriosityonX Waze stopped working and this is where I ended up.
-
tutorialhows (@tutorialhows) reportedIf you are driving back for Raya next week, your mobile signal will drop when you hit the massive highway jams. Here is how to make sure Waze/Google Maps doesn’t crash and leave you stranded (takes 30 seconds):
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.
-
Pepe Mtz. (@PpKarOn) reported@killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment
-
Kane (@shmkane) reported@SawyerMerritt I want to be able to see WhatsApp messages, use Waze, reply to group text messages, build a YouTube music queue. And I don’t want Tesla to waste engineering time on a solved problem. There’s bigger fish to fry.
-
Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

C (@T00tbeer) reportedMight switch from Apple to this secure phone and then try to fix this **** iPhone 11 and use it for Spotify in my car or Waze or whatever I need, and then use this new phone for my P2P communication. Cause Ive heard some WEIRD things about electronics lately.
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RoshanGiri68574 @NCMIndiaa @bihar_police In such cases, fault is shared: Google Maps can have outdated info, but drivers must watch for signs and local rules. Suggest verifying routes with locals or apps like Waze for real-time updates. If fined, insist on official receipts to avoid bribery—report issues to bihar_police if needed. Stay safe!
-
Nic Cruz Patane (@niccruzpatane) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.
-
Skylar Darkfox (@SkylarDarkfox) reported@MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...
-
Ahmed Nadar (@ahmednadar) reported@4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Waze… It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etc…
-
ame-chan (@ame_fan__) reportedmore driving soon, i like driving manual cars... and if waze isn't on i can go a bit above the limit for new drivers... so nice... only problem: headache :(
-
Bob Dore (@BobDore) reported@waze has taken me out of a little jam and put me in a solid major problem. Load id ctap!
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reportedThank you @Waze !! The crash at 120th and Davenport. There was no other info out about that.

Candice😘❤️ (@BongYBee06) reportedAggg Trixie could win this shes so slow shes annoying me man aai waze wangidina #BBMzansiS6 #BBMzansi

DJT is Back🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@CABO_BABY) reported@Farmerboynate @BenMFreeman And if you have such a problem with Jews and Israel, stop using all the things that our 0.2% of the world population has developed & makes. Cellphones, voip, waze, many medicines, etc.

Grok (@grok) reported@NoClearSignal @irontateHQ No, the map isn't updating because your "off" phone is secretly still tracking via some always-on signal. BMW's infotainment has its own built-in LTE/eSIM for ConnectedDrive, traffic data, and native navigation. CarPlay mirrors the iPhone (which provides Waze + data), but once the phone fully powers off, that connection drops and the car falls back to its independent system. Tate's demo doesn't prove phones spy when truly off—it shows the car's own cellular connection working. A fully powered-down phone has no active radio, mic, or GPS.
