How to Enable Tesla Real-Time Traffic?
2 Answers
When you need to use the Autopilot feature, you can enable or disable certain functions of Autopilot at any time via the touchscreen. When the vehicle determines that road conditions meet the requirements for activating Autopilot, two gray icons will light up on the dashboard: one for the speedometer and one for the steering wheel. After Autopilot is activated, it does not mean you can leave it unattended. The driver is still required to actively monitor the Autopilot system.
When I was driving a Tesla before, I also figured out how to enable real-time traffic. It's actually quite simple. First, tap the control button on the bottom menu bar of the center screen, then find the navigation settings. There's a real-time traffic toggle—just turn it on. Remember to connect to the car’s network or Wi-Fi, otherwise the data won’t update. Enabling this feature is super useful—the roads on the map will change color: red means traffic jams, and green indicates smooth traffic. I use it every day for my commute, and the navigation automatically avoids congested areas, saving a lot of time. If the map doesn’t refresh immediately, it usually updates within a couple of minutes. Paying attention to the traffic color changes can make driving much easier.
