Description
A basic option uses a pre-set limit for warning and/or preventing going at a specific speed.
To deactivate and change the setting requires a password. Activation would not require a password. Settings and operations can only be changed while stopped.
This might be used as a parental limit for the kids or as a valet mode where the maximum speed is limited.
A more advanced model would read the GPS location and identify the speed limit and provide a warning when the speed exceeds the map’s known speed limit by a set amount. For locations outside known roads (i.e. parking lots), it might limit speeds to 20 MPH.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
Unknown if other vehicles have such an option. Using GPS positioning is not 100% reliable, especially when frontage roads run along a freeway or other close roadways.
Status
Tesla offers two features – a speed limiter, and a notification when the speed exceeds the posted speed limit. First introduced in the October 2014 time period.
