PROBLEM: Tesla's Distance menu settings forces you to choose miles or km for ALL unit displays in vehicle.


RECOMMENDATION: Enable miles or km options for navigation, range, speed limit signs, speedometer and odometer

Rationale:

NAVIGATION:
Kilometer unit navigation measures distance form 1000 down to 0 meters for upcoming turns instead of miles, fractional miles, then feet. 🤷‍♂️


ODOMETER: Miles required for maintenance intervals. KMs setting creates mistakes with Tesla maintenance team.

BATTERY: Battery range preferred in miles vs km to avoid battery range showing 300 km range but highway sign says 200 miles to Denver 😟

SPEEDOMETER: Choosing km option shows speedometer and USA speed limit images in kilometers forcing you to wonder if the car detected the posted speed limit sign you just passed especially in construction zones.

I’d like to see this feature request get more traction. Speed in miles and distance in km would be sufficient for me, but the flexibility mentioned here would be great!

Yeah. I'm surprised more haven't commented on this. So strange to select metric option in my Tesla to get nav distance in km only for the dashboard to also show speed limit sign images in km as I'm passing road signs in mph. lol. I simply want to measure navigation distance in metric.

It seems like such an easy fix!
