We're driving a Tesla Model 3 refresh 2024, and it has the speed nag at every start up. It also has a lot of wrong speeds for portions of roads around our place.
Sometimes it's temporary speed limits that were set during road construction and then never went away, sometimes it doesn't understand that you left a type of road and went onto another one with a different default speed limit, it's pretty infuriating.
And that's a car that has cameras all around, onboard image analysis software and permanent internet connection. I can't imagine how that'd even work in cars with less capabilities.
Hilarious anecdote about this website: the owner once said there are tons of entries in the usage log of people misunderstanding the purpose of the website and inputting celebrities names to try to email them. :D
Our first Model 3 from 2019 was leased with FSD, which was definitely underwhelming enough to barely ever turn it on. We drove from southern Germany to Venice Italy without even thinking of using it once.
When the leasing contract came to an end, we got the refreshed model 3 from 2024, this time without any driving assistant, just the plain normal car. And I haven't missed any of it, just the park assistant was nice because now I can't park it on the side of the small European streets first try, but I'll learn eventually.
It was a horrible deal back then for 5000€, now it's more expensive and hasn't gotten any better.
I can confirm the surge is already there. A stere (1 cubic meter of piled logs) cost us 75€ last year, best we found was 120€ this summer and prices are still on the rise.
I've been using Maps.me, it has great mapping material (OSM) and the navigation is decent. Been using it in the Caribbeans, GMaps and AMaps barely have street names there.
I uninstalled all the apps from all social media platforms and only use the web version. This takes out a lot of the usability (and trackability). Making the whole experience slightly worse helps me reduce the time I spend on them.
I also removed Facebook and its other brands from the equation, and since those websites are unusable when unlogged, it's even easier to remove the temptation to dwell on them.
For Twitter, I also went to the settings of each person I follow and deactivated the displaying of their retweets, so my timeline (in the chronological mode) consists exclusively of content written by the people I follow.
My first step would be to learn both the display: flex and display: grid syntaxes. They eliminate the need of 90% of the hacks of floats/clearfixes, and table layouts. For this you can get familiar with the overall possibilities with these games:

The next big bite to take is responsive web design, using Media Queries, which involves getting mostly rid of any fixed width and rely on %, calc() and modern units like vw and vh to size your content.
