In an astonishing case of manufacturer-induced software bug, this owner has been told the dealer wants $1,600 to install a fix to a required software update that bricked the car. That's right, it's a case of "I broke it, now pay me to fix what I broke".

FSD fixed?
Are you having trouble with Tesla FSD not following the mapped route? Our club member Dustin K. says turn off Online routing. FSD works perfectly for him after doing that. The setting is in Navigation.
UPDATE: I have, on a very short trip, confirmed that this setting fixes all my FSD issues so far. The car no longer departs from the mapped route. Muy bueno.
UPDATE: Club member Dan R. states that his 2026 Model S has this setting turned ON and his FSD works fine.
