Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Randy Harvey (@RandyHarvey2) reported@ICEgov Wow, I travel internationally for business and have rented cars numerous times in non-English speaking countries and had no problem getting around and this was before Waze and Google Maps
-
Matthew Stevenson (@ENTP_Innovator) reported@bcasale @itskyleconner Can you not report the error in Apple maps? I do it in Waze and Google Maps.
-
Mr Dee 𝕏 (@CCTV_etc) reported@Uber_Support @Uber A problem with the driver choosing to not follow the uber app and use Waze instead….. ended up in me paying more money. Please advise
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@mrfundman They should use Waze. If there's something wrong with the map, just click report and a volunteer editor that lives in that area will fix it within a few days. That includes speed limit data which Teslas have issues with.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@JMunene80 @denniskiruii @moneyacademyKE NTSA cameras use AI radar/laser + ANPR to detect speed/plates and send instant SMS fines to the registered owner. To counter: - Run Waze for real-time user alerts on camera locations (fixed/mobile). - Radar/lidar detectors are sold locally as legal—verify with NTSA. - Contest fines via evidence of calibration error (recent queries raised this). Match the limits in the thread to skip triggers.

4T (@watts1972) reportedI wonder if there was a way @waze and @fixmystreet could share data. All those potholes on Waze directly into fix my Street.
-
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.

ck (@OptimusUpRyan69) reported@vad3rt3sla they just need to ingest that data from waze and google maps to slow down. and then export that data out too (if they want to share)
-
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.
-
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!)
-
TACO 🌮 (@ThatoEastside) reported@kaizen_ceo @BulawayoForever Why was it SA's responsibility to take him out? As citizens who knew the election was unfairly won why didn't you take a stand and remove him yourselves? Waze wasinyela wenja we have our own problems
-
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.
-
Sammy Lee (@Sammy__Lee__) reported@BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze
-
₿asic Logica💡 (@BasicLogica) reported@vad3rt3sla FSD should see them, slow down and mark them automatically like Waze. This would be more reliable then waiting for people to mark them.
-
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.
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Waze… It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etc…
-
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.
-
Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@sundarpichai android auto needs to work on Gemini to work with Waze it's really broken. Have someone DM for information.
-
Nthambe (@Nthambemasera) reported@msiziworld Waze has no problem thre settings by the user are a problm
-
S | 💫 (@Serene_Sarcasm) reported@STHussain07 Do y’all have Waze working?
-
Jen (@LegalMindedGiGi) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @factsdontlie10 I believe the Waze time issue was discussed in first trial.

benferrum - e/jounce (@BenFerrum) reportedHey @Tesla_AI FSD feedback from down Under: * The Tesla navigation in Australia is bad, it is biased towards taking right hand turns which are the most dangerous/slow when driving on the left, > pls benchmark your navigation against Waze * FSD drives decently my wife felt safe, but we need Mad Max mode because my grandma has more tempo, I did not used FSD that much because it takes ages to speed up * It's too timid to get into a lane/roundabout/cross an intersection * It picked the wrong lane 2x in a 4 hour drive ( same pattern, moving to the left lane to move right > hook turn overtraining much? * Pls improve the voice recognition of Grok so it can handle other than US and British, I have a slight Eastern European one, but even emulating the Ozzie one did not help ( Oi mate, bring me to the closest Macca's ) * Australia has a lot of stupid speed limits 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110 And because Australian traffic designers are moronic they like to mix them on the same road is short succession, > if you could add some smoothing to be biased towards the higher speed and not slow down that much that would help to make the drive feel more natural * Pls update you maps in Aus, there are a lot of new roads/signs/speed which you navigation is not aware of * The FSD viz cannot recognise a train * The FSD viz thinks the speed limit with a red circle, above the freeway is a red lamp > pls fix it for obvious reasons Otherwise great job, it passed the wife test for feeling safe!

🤍✨******* Usagi✨🤍 (@420mercymain69) reported@spaceghost Also, people will very often use waze and other apps to avoid chain control stop points, and/or lie to CHP. It causes huge problems especially with storms like these, and the vast majority of people do not come prepared.

UseURStrengths (@UseURstrengths) reported@juliecbarrett @kneis816 Honestly, there are no “platforms” now that have privacy. If we are on someone’s server they have data. If you use a mobile phone, take digital pictures and store in “the cloud”, drive a car and use Car Play/Google Maps/Waze - by 2027 your car will assess biometrics, use Siri et al, use social media with backdoors tracking social “reputation”, given facial recognition or fingerprints for digital access, received that code to login to your mobile phone establishing “usual location” and “usual device”, have home “security cams”, Amazon, use email (which has your work data/attachments/anything you’ve ever composed, SMART tvs-watches-appliances…and so on. The name of the game is our DATA and all Of those data centers have to centralize it all to form a digital ID for each of us before digital currency can be introduced. Then they have it all. We have no privacy…we have given it away step-by-step for “our own protections and security.” 🙄 Agenda 2030+ is well on the way to reality.

Asenathi P. (@PAsenathi) reported@azolagodlimpi2 @Zoemkoena why are you lying be she had a problem with that waze wathi wenziwa islima
-
diatribe (@d06h0201) reported@vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.
-
Ra🔻🇶🇦 (@ra_rants) reportedIt came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix it.

Choqao Tech (@choqao) reported@Sankew06 To Fix it, I use waze

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@joshwoodward Gemini needs work in android auto with Waze it's broken DM for information I can't DM you.

Gary Myers - Motivational Speaker (@darsh44321) reported@MrAndyNgo @VenturaReport I'm just convinced they're jobless, bored and trolling. This literally will have no impact outside of making people drive slow, or just using the next block lol. I'm pretty sure this can be reported on the Waze app as well so you could just avoid it lol. . .
