What is this about?
With the new Tesla Model Y “Juniper,” an important feature that was available in all previous models has been removed: the ability to activate or deactivate Autopilot (Autosteer) by double-pressing the right stalk.

What’s the problem?
In the Juniper model, this option is not only missing as a function but also completely removed from the vehicle settings. This leads to the following issues:

Switching between Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) and Autopilot is no longer possible spontaneously.

When deactivating Autosteer, cruise control is also turned off, which can result in sudden deceleration.
The interface has become more complicated and potentially less safe – especially during highway driving.
Many buyers expected this feature to be included, as it was available in all previous Model Y variants.

What are we asking for?
We ask Tesla to reintroduce the double-click Autopilot activation feature for the Model Y Juniper via a software update – or at the very least, make it optional through the vehicle settings.

Why is this important?

The feature improves safety and driving comfort.

It is already implemented and proven in millions of Teslas.
A software-based reintroduction seems entirely feasible – there is no apparent technical reason to remove it permanently.

Help us show Tesla that many users would like to have this familiar and safe feature back.
