  • jpgcrna JPGCRNA (@jpgcrna) reported

    @niccruzpatane I have 2 problems that need to be improved for me to not want CarPlay. I want to be able to put Waze in a corner to keep an eye on alerts, and voice text in group text on Tesla splits to individual texts. Fix that or add Waze functionality to Tesla and I’m happy

  • Just_Kellie_69 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙞𝙩™ 🔸⨀ (@Just_Kellie_69) reported

    - Now what problem are they solving..? Big Tech (Google Maps, Waze) hoards your location data, sells it for billions, and gives you NOTHING. Privacy..? Zero. Accuracy..? Often lags in hyperlocal spots.  𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙂𝙊 flips it: Privacy-first, anonymized data. You own

  • LtMunst LT (@LtMunst) reported

    @HonestEVs @DirtyTesLa Fair enough. I had the opposite problem today since this latest map update inexplicably has half the New Jersey Turnpike set at 45 instead of 65. They really need some sort of real time crowdsourced map updates like Waze.

  • ManofSkin420 steve (@ManofSkin420) reported

    @MyronGainesX No sir. You strike me as someone who likes to start trouble. Waze off the Jews, homeboy.

  • cdglove98 Chris Glover (@cdglove98) reported

    @hold_bag @LittleNinjaUK It’s interesting to see people arguing against LTNs with large aggregate data when the Waze Effect is so well documented that it has a name and has been a concern since at least 2015. I suspect the average data is hiding the problem, but it will take more time to figure that out.

  • jesusyikes rob (@jesusyikes) reported

    @v_i_be @mindthejag @TheCleanCarClub Maybe. Waze and maps, you never know until your there what the issue is. You’ll be one of those people in their car hating on this guy with the drone out the roof. I get it. 👏👏👏

  • 2xTesla 2xTesla (@2xTesla) reported

    @SawyerMerritt I do miss Waze Almost essential to drive in my state of Victoria which has an astounding amount of mobile and fixed cameras, variable speed zones and constant roadworks Rerouting on Waze is elite for roadworks / crash scenarios - it can save you hours and will save your license

  • haigutus Haigutus (@haigutus) reported

    @larsmoravy 1. Fix wipers 2. Support waze or integrate waze data 3. FSD on HW3 4. Grok on HW3 4. Support chat in app, same as for service

  • BLalwaysMattr ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼BLalwaysMattr‼️ (@BLalwaysMattr) reported

    @grok @WhiteHouse @DoorDash Who suggested “runaway rises”? I just asked if it was true, and you willingly left out the contrarian points in the report. I’m just trying to show you the errors in your Waze, but you are not willing to admit you were wrong.

  • nonlinear_james Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported

    @TeslaNewswire 1. Waze data with reporting. Specifically police. And FSD should auto report and use the waze data to adjust itself accordingly. 2. High beam flash (request to pass signal required by law and warning people about cops) shouldn't turn off high beams. In fact I should have to be really intentional if my car has matrix high beams to turn off high beams at all. 3. Fix the god damn windshield wipers already.

  • nicolepapley Nicole (@nicolepapley) reported

    Ever since iOS 26 came out.. my gps has stopped working (Apple, goodle, and Waze) my texts don’t open any photos sent to me my apps don’t load properly and have to restart at least three times i lose service and have to use satellite in order to get actual service

  • OKState420 OKState420, MBA (@OKState420) reported

    @DamnNearWhite Crazy how much hate you’re receiving when the same people who criticize your mom’s work are using the products from the same company without even realizing it. Google / Apple Maps, Waze, phones and other technology in general rely on GPS. Billions of people use that across the world without realizing their own hypocrisy. Criticize the US military and government in general all you want - many valid reasons to do so. Don’t demonize people working their best job available

  • NoLongerBennett Into the Breach Bennett (@NoLongerBennett) reported

    @octal @shagbark_hick DPS only ever stops me for no front plate. I'll see the trap on Waze, slow to legal speed, and get pulled over anyway.

  • farihahyusri fy (@farihahyusri) reported

    waze dgn google maps problem eh today

  • Mushroomgal8 MushroomGal (@Mushroomgal8) reported

    @jessibridges Supposedly Waze much better for this issue.

  • pxl0101 authentic account (@pxl0101) reported

    @ApexGodKing2 @waze eh it's helpful for me. I don't even drive recklessly but I'm not going to be going anything lower than 70 MPH on a 55 MPH highway, but it's good to know when a cop is ahead just so I can slow down to be safe

  • AttilioScalesse AttilioScalesse (@AttilioScalesse) reported

    Someone else are having issues with wired Apple CarPlay? Waze and Google Maps freezing during navigation, Amazon Music stop playing after one song (even with shuffle mode enabled). Hoping it’s just iOS 26 that needs to be fixed.

  • elyisum13 BUCKSIN6 (@elyisum13) reported

    @grapenuts__ That’s insane tbh. I haven’t encountered that problem with Google Maps myself. I don’t like either tbh. I’ve been told to use waze but idk if I like that either lol

  • sile_siba Sile (@sile_siba) reported

    @lanyoni waze wathi noooo don't say anything. we will fix this after.

  • SachivM99 Sachiv (@SachivM99) reported

    @WholeMarsBlog Does it slow down for speeding cameras?(Ideally using @waze, it could, right?)

  • pxl0101 authentic account (@pxl0101) reported

    @waze ily but can you fix the issue where every once in a while after using android auto, booting up waze again causes my GPS arrow to be gone and the map itself doesn't move at all from where it's stationed, and all it shows me is the directions at the top thanks <3

  • pitsi_thwala Thwala Pitsi (@pitsi_thwala) reported

    @SimphiweKibibi Waze wayibhala ke I paragraph with grammatical errors ngetindzaba tebantfu, you’re not a friend nor family… just a bored observer. Ask yourself one question NGINGENAPHI!

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @cosmos_atom_ @ayeejuju Haha, fair point! If we're talking traffic woes, apps like Waze already help with lane guidance, but for seamless switching, check out Tesla's Autopilot—it auto-changes lanes. What's your go-to fix for bad drives?

  • jaywoof94 Jay (@jaywoof94) reported

    @_SFTahoe Put the same route into Google and it won’t direct you through the same illogical path. You can like the tech and criticize it. Apple/Google/Waze all do navigation much better than Tesla. Their nav is bad and causes a CAR THAT CAN DRIVE ITSELF to make unnecessary errors lmao

  • NMS575 NMS575 (@NMS575) reported

    @Marjori88206011 @dirspielbergo you seem to confuse two issues GPS on the phone is commonly tied to mapping software apps (Waze, Google Maps, etc). Maps are not stored on the phone but are updated in real time by the app Please explain how my “old school” GPS device worked without cell service? Try again

  • Nibrasmohamd Gandalf غاندالف الرمادي (@Nibrasmohamd) reported

    @MazinAlEshaiker Ohhh, nice, that's why the waze is acting up because MR.ADNAN, as a former taxi driver, is going to fix the traffic situation in Baghdad

  • InsertSthFunny Insert Something Funny (@InsertSthFunny) reported

    @pitdesi @pitdesi they bought Waze to avoid working so hard ..

  • nicolepapley Nicole (@nicolepapley) reported

    Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze just stopped working on me for the fourth day in a row and i got lost in a town i have never been to, middle of nowhere, no one knew where i was. The anxiety attack i had and am currently having is hurting me

  • mvbenter Mike Benter (@mvbenter) reported

    @Robbbdobbb @TomTom Tom Tom needs to add features that makes them stand out. Right now they are basically trying to meet what they offer and its not good enough. People dont have the time to deal with compatibility issues when Waze and Google Maps work already.

  • glucosespiker merchant (@glucosespiker) reported

    @shagbark_hick Google Maps still reads like a map though. Waze is the problem. I don’t think Waze users understand how to read a map.
